Cough 069 - [Video]

[taichou_tb]

[Your friendly neighborhood Ukitake strikes again! He's sitting at his desk today with a blanket draped over his shoulders as he periodically sips some tea.]Good morning, Adstringendum! I hope everyone has recovered from last week and isn't too embarrassed by learning things you might not have wanted to know. Or if you found a way to get a laugh

... action??? but not if you don't want it to be~~

[peacocking]

[ He watches Ukitake speak to Adstringendum through the PCD with a swelling chest. Shunsui can't help but be proud of his friend for everything that he has done. He is concerned for everyone, he's campaigning, and he's cheerful to boot. None of this surprises him of course, but it still makes him swell with pride.

Of course there is one thing. Once Ukitake finishes his recording Shunsui smiles widely. He uncrosses his arms and steps toward the desk with a smile. ]

I only wish I got here sooner. I could have been your campaign manager and swayed all of the undecided voters. [ He does, but not really, since he thinks most people would have to be crazy or very mean not to vote for him.

I want your action and I want your revenge, you and me could write a bad romance~

[taichou_tb]

[After his message ends, he looks over his shoulder and smiles at Shunsui.]

And I'm sure you would have done a splendid job.

^////^

[peacocking]

Doesn't seem like you would have really needed me though. [ Shunsui gives his best friend a gentle pat on the back and adjusts his blanket a bit. ]

<3

[taichou_tb]

We'll see soon enough.

Are you setting in well enough?

[peacocking]

Oh, yes.

There are so many young women in this place. I wonder how long the excitement will last. [ Because he probably wouldn't want to go back home if he had the chance. ]

[taichou_tb]

Most of them are probably too young for you, you know.

[peacocking]

Actually, I was thinking of asking Rukia out on a date. [ He's not going to laugh. ]

[taichou_tb]

[What part of "too young for you" doesn't translate over to Rukia? Ukitake is unsure, here.]

Is that so? You'll have to tell me how that pans out.

[peacocking]

[ She's younger than Katara and Suki. And those are two names he won't be dropping because of that reason. ]

If I'm lucky I won't have to tell you. You'll get to be a witness to our budding romance. [ Isn't that a little harsh, Shunsui? Joking about your best friends subordinates in an almost dirty way? ]

[taichou_tb]

[What is he going to do with you, Shunsui?

As Ukitake speaks, he opens a drawer in his desk, and pulls out a piece of paper.]

Remind me to close my eyes when I'm around you, then.

[That piece of paper? Is then crumpled up and launched at Shunsui's head!]

[peacocking]

[ Scratching the back of his head while he pretends to consider this. ]

I don't know. That's going to take a lot of reminding.

[ He frowns for a second when the crumpled up paper hits his head. ]

What? You don't like the idea?

[taichou_tb]

As her captain, I'm afraid I'm going to have to step in to save her from the inevitable heartbreak.

[peacocking]

That's why I like you so much. You're always looking out for all of your subordinates.

[taichou_tb]

Is that the only reason?

[Dramatic hand to chest!]

Kyouraku, I'm hurt!

[peacocking]

I guess I should be more worried about breaking your heart. [ He gives a hearty chuckle and leans against the desk. ]

So what are we going to do to make sure you win this thing?

[taichou_tb]

It can be a fragile thing, at times.

There's not much else we can do. You can't change a man in a day, after all.
