twenty-ninth form; giving away things {video/action for goldenrod}

//action a - streets of Goldenrod
{If you're out and about in the lovely sunshine-filled streets of Goldenrod today (and why wouldn't you be?), you'll probably hear before you see an argument between one wheelchair-bound Ise Nanao, and her Alakazam.}
No, Kiyone, the fabric shop is that way, and the paper shop is that way.
Ala! Kazam ka alakazam!
I think I trust Kanji-san's directions - he's been there before, and you haven't!
Al. A. Ka. Zam.
No, you're wrong! H-hey, put me down! I'll have Shuuhei bite your ankles again!
{Kiyone's apparently given up on using words to win this fight, and has simply started levitating her and her wheelchair, and is marching off in a random direction just to spite her. You can a) laugh, b) stare, c) jam it in (why would you though) or d) try to help.}

//action b - Goldenrod Pokemon Centre
{Doop doop, doing the check-up thing, and checking the PC and- Wait. What was that.}
No. No way. I don't-

No.

//video, action for housemates.
{When the feed clicks on, Nanao, while still seated in her wheelchair, looks a lot less happy than she should be. A rather confused Mareep is curled at her feet.}

It seems that Edward Elric and Hawkeye have gone home, since I have recieved their Pokemon. {She breathes out slowly.} However, this leaves me with a real problem. I have a few too many Pokemon, and after talking it over with them, I am prepared to give away some of them.

Hitsugaya-san, I have already sent you your Golduck, but if anyone else would like to discuss with me the Pokemon you would like, please reply to this video. {She nods, and the video cuts out.}

{OOC: Right! The Pokemon that are up for offer are: a level 49 Venusaur, a level 15 Lapras, and a level 17 Ralts (that wants to evolve into a Gardevoir, not a Gallade.). Casanova the Ditto will be handed over to Souji's Breeding Extravaganza if no one wants it. Also, the call for housemates is still open! Nanao's house is a charming bungalow with clear views out to the sea on the southern outskirts of Goldenrod. Rent is P200 a month, and they're pretty much allowed to stay for as long as they want provided they help with the household things every now and again.}

...she's not that bad. I've known her for longer than you have.

{She will. That gives her enough time to prank him at Christmas, anyway.}

And how many times have you found her passed out drunk when there's work that has to be finished that day? She's different out of the office.

[Welp, so long as it doesn't involve any kind of dunking, he'll be good with it. Mostly.]

There was a time when she didn't do that, you know. But things changed, and she had to find a way to cope with that change. And if that meant drinking on the job, then. Well.

{No, why would she do that? This will involve mistletoe.}

Well, she's lucky she didn't end up working under Kurotsuchi. I doubt he'd let her get away with it.

[Because, really, this guy's used to it and lets her do it. He knows how memories can become demons, after all. Kurotsuchi...doubtful he'd get it.

...oh. He should be concerned, shouldn't he? Mistletoe is never a good thing.]

...Urahara was nicer. Kurotsuchi was a criminal, I still don't know why they didn't lock him up again....

{Memories become demons, eh? Well, this is beginning to rustle up some elder gods, in that case.}

{Possibly. Only if Matsumoto hears of it.}

Because they have a use for him. It's the only reason they'd keep someone that dangerous around after everything he's done.

[Several of them, for sure. No one has good memories of that man, after all.

...yep. Definitely concerned. She'll hear about it somehow and he'll be screwed.]

I suppose. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

. . .

You know, Urahara was the one who made me my glasses. He was strange, but very good at what he did.

{I swear that Matsumoto has ears like radar dishes - they pick up every piece of gossip within a five-kilometer radius.}

I don't think many people actually do, Ise.

[He certainly doesn't. The only one who doesn't seem to care is Zaraki, but that man is...something else.]

He still is, mostly. I can't say if his personality has changed since you knew him, but his workmanship is the same. His supplies never failed us when we needed them most.

[Try a ten-kilometer radius. She's far too good at picking up gossip for it to be only five.]

I wouldn't be surprised. I know Captain doesn't care for how he treats Nemu.

{...Zaraki's most definitely something else.}

That's good to know - even though I haven't experienced it yet, it's a comforting thought.

{You have a point there. Soi Fon could probably stand to learn a thing or two about information gathering from her.}

Do you know anyone who does? I wouldn't be surprised if someone gets involved sooner rather than later.

[Nor would he be surprised if there's a crowd at the 12th when that time comes, too. Zaraki may or may not be in it.]

Until he decides to turn you into a test subject for whatever he's come up with that time. Abarai had some odd tales about that.

[More like a thing or dozen. Especially about getting that stick out of her butt and loosening up. Matsumoto's good for that, among other things.]

Perhaps after this whole thing with Aizen cools down.

{She most definitely will, that's for sure. Kurotsuchi won't be able to pull anything freaky when he's restrained by kidou, after all.}

Perhaps I'll ask him about that if he ever shows up here again.

{...it had the opposite effect on him, though.}

Perhaps. Though it's doubtful that will happen anytime soon.

[Not unless he breaks free of the kidou somehow. And if that happens, well, he'll have the rest on him fast. Shouldn't get far.]

If you do, don't take whatever he says at face value. Some tales were just that.

[That might be because he's immune....or just doesn't care, really. He's used to it.]

...if I may, what was happening when you were pulled here?

{That gets him a slightly raised eyebrow.}

I think I've known Matsumoto-san long enough to take everything I hear with a tablespoon of salt - she can make the most ridiculous thing sound completely believable.

The exact same thing as when I first arrived here, only an hour or two later. We we still in battle with Aizen and his forces.

[Which really just made him angry; was he never going to be able to see that battle through? ...Did he even want too? Hard to say for sure.]

She does that with things that are true, as well. You might want to start taking them with a shaker of salt instead.

Still? That must be frustrating.

{Poor little tacker... but maybe that is for the best, what with Hinamori shishkabob.}

Is there enough salt in the world for her and her statements?

Among other things.

[It probably is for the best, but it's the principle of things. He really hates leaving them half done.]

Provided she stays sober for more than twenty-four hours at a time, yes. Otherwise, it is doubtful.

{Well... this is one task that won't be fun to complete.}

I'll do my best when she arrives in Goldenrod. Eventually. Even though I'm rather sure that her blood is about eighty percent proof by now.

[Eh, he's sure she'll manage just fine.]

It would explain why it takes her so long to get drunk lately.

[Concern in his voice? A hint of it; he's always been concerned about her drinking so much even if he never really shows it.]

{Sighing.}

I fear for the safety of her liver - I still don't think she realises that she's human here, with all the frailties that those bodies bring.

{Sure, Kyouraku may drink more sake in a week than she will in a year, but she still keeps an eye on him. Not to mention the drinking competitions between him and Matsumoto.}

We'll find a way to make her understand it. The only question is will it be before it's too late to undo the damages?

[And this one keeps an eye on his lieutenant nearly constantly; they keep eachother out of trouble most of the time.]

I'll hammer it into her head over Christmas. If that doesn't work, well... I'm not sure what will.

{This is, after all, how Captains and Lieutenants are mean to work. As a team.}

Hiding all the alcohol might, as well as keeping a close eye on her at all times. Beyond that, it would be out of our hands.

[And Captains aren't meant to betray their own kind and try to destroy the world. Things don't always work like they should....but it's nice when they do.]

...I doubt I'll be able to keep the house alcohol-free. The sheer amount of people coming will ensure that I'll be finding bottles stashed everywhere.

{Aizen always was.. a little too perfect - at least in her eyes. But she ignored it as best she could.}

Barring those who have it from entering might work, but it could lead to a rather empty house. We'll just have to watch her.

[In a way, she got lucky. She could actually ignore Aizen. With Momo so close to him, Hitsugaya's paranoia didn't let that happen. Family was family, after all.]

That won't be hard. She'll be inside, and there are only a limited number of places to hide in here.

{;A; Hitsugaya....}
