closed RP: Stephen Maturin and Ichimaru Gin: calling your bluff?
Seven o' clock arrived. Stephen had not written to Gin to give him directions. This did not mean he was unprepared for the shinigami to show up.
Aloysius the house-elf had obtained bubble bath and a duck as close to the one depicted in the secrets post as possible. Stephen himself was wearing his glasses and had notebook in hand, ready to ... observe the shinigami.
