I would like to assure everyone that Aizen's closure of the senkaimon has been verified and is effective. There's no need to test it by taking a running start and crashing headfirst into a barrier, as at least two of you have tried already ( Read more... )

Seireitei has been officially stabilized, for now, though there's plenty of work to be done. The extra duty on the updated schedules is mandatory, but so are the off-hours; we've lost a few people, and we don't need to lose any more to sheer exhaustion ( Read more... )

Of significant note is the rate at which shinigami-in-training have ( Read more... )

[To all members and staff of the Thirteenth division, notifications copied to other captains and vice-captains shortly thereafter]
