bamfsecretary | 3rd book; sleep is for the weak {video}

[Sleep well? Pah. He'd need to get clocked over the head for that to happen, but he's fine with this. He's also got tea in a couple of mugs, one of which he is extending in her direction. Green, but it's all he's got. Needs to stock up, too.]

Ise, you are aware that you would have had half of Johto rushing to your rescue if you'd encountered trouble this time, aren't you?

[Flat tone is flat. He may be over-exaggerating that number, but he's not kidding. She'd have had quite the rescue party if she'd gotten Sentret-ambushed again.]

{She smiles thankfully, and then sees what's in the cup. She grimaces.}

_{I guess it's better than nothing.} And I am very aware of that fact, thank you.

{They probably recognised her from last time and stayed away. Possibly.}

[He sees that grimace but ignores it...mostly. To each her own, but really...what kind of person doesn't like green tea? It's not that bad once you're used to it.]

So long as you know.

[Possibly. But they probably weren't starving this time so...no need to try and eat a trainer. Probably.]

{But it's not real tea :<}

Considering the amount of people who talked to me when I first arrived back, I'd have to be an idiot not to notice.

[It's still better than coffee, though. He can't stand that stuff.

Also, he's saying nothing about that idiot bit just yet. Both because he does know a little better and...yep. He's trying his hardest not to yawn at the moment. He may be more tired then he let on outside.]

There are other ways to not notice that many people that don't involve idiocy.

{Coffee is good, though. Especially at tax time. She takes the tiniest of sips--}

Ugh.

{She noticed that, boy. Why are you still awake, anyway.}

I suppose so. Enjouji was particularly good at not noticing new arrivals.

[Useful, but only if it doesn't set stomachs to their "rebel" setting like it does with his. And she doesn't have to drink it if she can't stand the tea. He won't mind, really. Too busy trying not to yawn.

Also, nightmares make for terrible bedmates; that's why he's still awake. Thaaaaat and some sleep-addled part of his brain thinks she won't vanish again if he watches her. Maybe. Possibly.]

Some people always will be. Matsumoto could sleep through a mob arriving at our doorstep.

[And she did. Once. Before Kenpachi nearly tore their barracks apart and dropped a roof panel on her head.]

{Oh. Well. That's not terribly good. And she'll just be discreetly putting the cup down now.}

{...silly boy. Watching him, she remembers that she asked him to bring those sleeping tablets....}

So could Kyouraku. Trying to wake him up can be... interesting.

{High level kidou usually worked, though. That and throwing encyclopedias at him.}

[Discreet? Good. She gets away with it so long as she's discreet. Besides, her timing is good; he's not looking at her at the moment. Got his eyes closed and everything.

He did bring those tablets, too. It's just apparently slipped his mind that he has them among his things, that's all. Silly boy isn't running at full charge, as it were.]

So we could hear.

[All that yelling certainly...carried. Especially after nights where Rangiku and Kyouraku had gone out drinking until the wee hours and someone had to be called to drag them home. Not fun, those mornings.]

{In the meantime, baby elephant wants some attention, and decides to get it by going and sitting near Toushirou. Pet me :<}

I apologise if I woke you up.

[Pet the elephant? He can do that, sure. He'll even set down his tea on the little end table nearby to do it. What? He doesn't want to spill hot tea on anyone.]

Forget it. I was used to it by then, and it kept Matsumoto from oversleeping at times.

[Even if she'd yelp and complain and moan for hours afterwards.]

{With a nod to the Psychic bird, who promptly (and discreetly!) disappears, she moves closer to him. Discreetly. Ladies and gentlemen, she has a plan.}

...I did remember to send you those invoices, didn't I.

{PAPERWORK 90A09}

[Discreet movements are best, as are discreet plans, but his attention is still on the elephant babby. Until she speaks, anyway? Invoices? Which batch?]

After which incident, Ise?

Ah. {Thinking....}

The one where your dining hall was covered in technicolour enamel paint.

[He pauses, trying to remember that incident, before he does and he shakes his head. That was an utter disaster.]

You did. Rather promptly, as well.

And the one where the corridors were filled with foam?

{She is going to keep buying time with ridiculous remembrances...}

[She'll have plenty of time to buy, then. Their lives are just full of those ridiculous scenarios to remember.]

It took longer to reach the office than it did to receive the paperwork that time.

[Because if one thing can be said about Nanao, it's that she's fast with the papers.]

{It's just an anime waiting to happen. OHWAIT}

I don't think I managed to scrub that feeling from my skin in less than a week.

{Hey, it's her job. Literally.}

[Yes, but that anime focused more on fights than on characters. So still waiting to happen!]

I doubt anyone did. Matsumoto was complaining about finding it in her hair for at least a week afterwards.

[A job she's amazing at, truly.]

{ONE DAY..!}

I think that ties with frogspawn down the back of the neck in terms of grossness. Or was that one a division specific thing?

{It's not like she has a choice... Sob.}

[SOMEDAY!]

Most likely. You'd have heard the shrieking if it had happened in our barracks, as well.

[No choice for her, no choice for him...at least they excel at it. Helps sometimes.]

{Dat light novel is pretty good though.}

You know, Kyouraku-taichou actually has a decent falsetto... I think some ended up in his underwear. Don't ask me how, but I suspect that's what happened.

{Only sometimes.}

[Yes indeed! So much goodness.

Also, that was indeed a facepalm. Just when he thought he'd heard everything...]

I'm surprised he didn't bring a wall down, if that was the case.

[Better sometimes than none of the time, right?]

{Shrugging!}

He did. It was a stone wall, too. Very impressive.

Mind you, I was less concerned at the time about the structural damage than the frogspawn in my bra. I still don't know how it got there.

{True.}

[Impressive indeed and---not touching that issue. Nope. Not with a ten mile pole.]

There are some things you may be better off not knowing, Ise. Finding out how may only raise more questions you don't want answered.

[Because, really. How that stuff ended up down her shirtfront is probably creepier than the stuff itself. Flashstepping frogspawn? yuck.]

{IT WILL HAPPEN TO HIM. ONE DAY. If Yachiru feels bold enough.}

But it was just so bizarre - it wasn't there, and then it was. It's a mystery!

{Hey, if an anthropomorphic dog/fox can become a shingami, don't knock the ability of amphibians to do the same thing.}

[Bold enough? More like if she feels like getting shrieked at by Rangiku. Woman can break glass if she really gets going.]

And some mysteries are better left unsolved.

[Like how frogspawn can flashstep. He'd understand the more grown up ones, but the eggs? How does that even work?]

{Impressive. Not sure if it beats Kyouraku pulling a Kool-Aid man and bursting through a brick wall, but it's certainly up there.}

Leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of truth, Hitsugaya! That is the way of the Shinigami.

{AKA she will keep looking until she finds out who was responsible.}

{Also this is Bleach, anything can and will happen. And it will never be explained.}

[Up there, but nowhere near to Kyouraku doing that. Nowhere near it at all...]

Perhaps. But would you be ready if the stones you overturn turn up something you won't be able to face?

[AKA: if it was Kurotsuchi somehow, how loud would the yelling be?

And of course it will never be explained; it has to make sense to be explained, and since it doesn't make sense, it'll never be explained. Ever...Much like how he's yet to pass out. Hopefully Hannibal is still enjoying her pets.]

{He is truly god-tier when it comes to ridiculousness.}

Then kill it with kidou. Or threaten the perpetrator with serious physical damage. Whichever is the most efficient.

{You mean how bad would the property damage be? Absolutely massive.}

{Also, that's when Cassandra reappears behind Nanao, pills in beak. And this thread can finally get back on track.}

[Truly. No one can come close to his ridiculousness, and they never will. Ever.]

And hopefully not bring where ever you find yourself down on top of your head.

[Massive property damage....and Nanao's track record? Oi, you trying to give him a coronary?

And he still hasn't picked up his tea again. Take your chance, Nanao; it may not last much longer!]

Please, sir, there's the mirror box kidou for that.

{Not directly, at any rate.}

{Annnnd she'll just be discreetly slipping a pill into his drink on the pretext of checking it's warmth.}

You should drink the rest of your tea before it gets cold.

Provided you can get one off in time.

[Well, he may just get one anyway if that kind of thing happens here. ~~After the Mareeps, especially.~~

Also, standing up now. Tea would be good. Tea calms his nerves a bit and--isn't normally this bitter. What the heck happened there? Ah, well, whatever. He'll just be downing what's left of it now anyway. Better be ready to catch him, Nanao: it won't be long till he's sleepin' with the fishies. Hell, he's already swaying a bit.]

How long do you intend to stay in town?

Of course I could. Kidou is my weapon of choice.

{~~That wasn't directly her fault??~~}

{Annnnd moving closer. The last thing she wants is for him to get KO'd by a table.}

As long as needs be, Toushirou.

I suppose.

[Being that not many people have seen her use that zanpakuto of hers...and that he's pretty much about to pass out. ~~And the Mareep were kind of her fault. She could have a Pokemon scatter them or something.~~

Also, the near to passing out thing? Kind of happening now. He's barely got time to set his teacup down on the table before the swaying gets more pronounced.]

Ise...what did you...

[The pills. Of course it was the pills...what else could it have been? He'll have to deal with that mini-betrayal at another time, though, because..yep. He's out and falling. Catch him, momthing?]

{I'm sort of waiting for a canon name ~~yeah and with what pokemon~~}

{Annnnd scooping him up gently. Wow he's tiny.}

You need to sleep, Toushirou. And you are to stubborn to do so without help.

{Gently stroking his hair awwww he's cute when he's ~~drugged~~ asleep.}

[It'll come someday. Maybe in this arc! ~~And Jyuu could have worked...if he was fast enough.~~

Tiny and sleeping and lightweight and...pretty much dead to the world, so there's no answer to that or anything else she'll say. Man. Those pills really work, huh?]

Edited (bluh. html fails.) 2012-04-27 05:45 (UTC)

{If I ever catch up to it sob ~~uh yeah hi there x2 electric weakness~~}

{So she'll just be carrying him upstairs and tucking him into bed. ;o; why is he so cute.}

[Well, here's one person who wasn't asleep. One in the morning is totally time to be awake and wandering around and checking the 'Gear.]

Well, safely aside from an attack by a baby elephant.

The way to Hannibal's heart is through his stomach. {Have a smile!} How've you been?

I've been just fine, except for how nothing much has been happening around here.

[Well. Aside from having Gluttony terrify some random pedestrians but it might be better not to mention that.]

Nothing? Not even a heist? I'm disappointed.

{She giggles a little, though.}

[He snickers.]

Well, if you like I can see about us planning a heist for when you get back. Can't come back to Goldenrod on a boring note, right?

The family that steals together stays together, huh? I suppose I can support that.
