[I swear I was going to post this yesterday. Backdating get!

It's April 21st and it's Unohana's birthday. Isane has baked a cake for her! Also, she's selected a delicately hand-painted sumi-e painting and wrapped it up carefully for her. These things she presents to her with a card that reads:

Unohana-taichou: You're the best captain that I ( Read more... )

Well, I know I had a heart attack when my papers turned up missing yesterday! Did everyone else find theirs?

{Private to Renji}
Hey, I reserved some time for us to go see the flowers tomorrow. I'm putting the finishing touches on my new yukata. I think you'll like it.

[Also, this should have gone up yesterday, but Isane didn't ( Read more... )

{Private to Kuchiki-taichou}
Thank you for generously opening your gardens for public viewing. I'd like to make reservations for two for April 3, if that's possible. The previous or following days would also be fine, if the third is booked. Thank you again.

{Since today is Valentine's Day, several gentlemen (Hanatarou, Kira, Iba, Hitsugaya, Shunsui, Ukitake, and several of the other guys in the Fourth (including Chad)) received a gift from Isane.

[Iba almost certainly isn't expecting this, but a Fourth Division orderly has delivered a vial with pungent, herbal-scented ointment to help with any lingering pains in his hands. The note attached reads:

Iba-san, I know it's been very cold and very stressful lately. I hope you put this to good use.

There has to be something we can do. I know that feeling sorry won't change anything, and I know that we can't help anyone if we've been thrown in the brig for insubordination, but there has got to be something that we can do.

{'Tis the season of giving, and through the Divisions, the Fourth's lieutenant has been out delivering provisions. Gifts made and selected for friends with great care, regardless of when old Saint Nick will get there. She's made her rounds all throughout the Gotei, without the assistance of reindeer or sleigh. I'm going to stop with the rhyming ( Read more... )

{Filtered to all Fourth Division members}I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that our annual physical exams are rapidly approaching, and will be upon us come January. This is the busiest and most taxing time of the year for each and every one of us, so preparations begin this week. This doesn't mean simply preparing equipment and supplies ( Read more... )

I've caught the flying rat that's been tailing me. I've clipped her feathers so she can't fly away. She's actually kind of cute. I don't really have time right now to take care of her, though. Does anyone want to give her a home?
