[Private to Annai]
I have a small assignment for you, Annai. Take a small squad into the Living World. I need some reconnaissance done and it's gonna take several days. You can, of course, come back into Soul Society on off hours -- I won't ask you to live in the Living Realm. You've heard the reports that are no plus souls, haven't you? If you come across any souls, tell me right then. Otherwise, daily reports'll do. If you remember.
I might not remember.
At any rate, you'll be reporting directly to me. If anyone asks, you're on a regularly scheduled patrol. Leave tomorrow.

[Private to Jyuushirou]
I have, in my possession, a bottle of vintage scotch, procured from the Living World some twenty years ago. I thought I'd drank it long ago. It was old when I brought it. It's going to be good now. Would it be defying doctors orders for a good bracing shot?
[/private]
[Not private. Anyone can see this.]
I have an idea.

Hellmoth to Abarai
I spoke to Ukitake-soutaichou. I'm fairly certain you've heard this from other people -- otherwise you probably would have spoken up by now -- but consider this an order straight from your captain-commander: Keep your mouth shut. We'll figure it out.
[Hellmoth to Unohana]
It seems we have a situation on our hands.

My dear lieutenant, if you would permit me this one indiscretion, I do have a quick announcement for all of Seireitei.
I fully believe in making the best of any situation. With the Senkaimon closed, I've seen evidences of shinigami becoming restless. Why, says I, this is simply an opportunity to grasp firmly and make our own. All are invited -- nay, encouraged -- to come to the Eighth Division's Hall and enjoy yourselves. Get to know one another a little better. Find yourself a new friend or reconnect with old.
In other words: Come visit. I have alcohol and food available. Mostly just alcohol.
[ooc;; What? Shunsui likes to party. Feel free to have your characters drop in. Set logs in the Eighth. Whatever. This'll be going on all night long. Unless something happens to break it up, which is, of course, entirely possible. The best-laid plans and all...]

[Private to Urahara]
I am assuming our plans to get together for a drink sometime are indefinitely postponed, thanks to Aizen and his penchant for closing the Senkaimon. As it stands, I've one squad, led by one Yahanshu Annai, stranded in the Living World. Could I bother you to provide them refuge, should the need arise? How much would that cost me?
[Message to Annai, filtered to Annai and Nanao]
I'm working to get you a place to go if you need the refuge. It's... rather a need-based thing, sorry to say. You can't just go there and relax. In the meantime, enjoy yourself.

I believe I am allergic to dust. I have found more of it this spring than should be expected.
The only cure is, of course, an evening of good friends and good drink. Who will join me?

[White Day gifts will be delivered during the afternoon -- just because Shunsui's always hard-pressed to be on time. It's the same for gifts
Nanao gets an assortment of chocolate dipped fruit as well as a fine-leather bound journal and a new set of pens and ink.
Retsu will receive a lovely box of chocolate and a stuffed manta ray. Not Minazuki, but... hey. It's the thought that counts.
Rangiku gets chocolates made with alcohol. (He got himself some of these too. Couldn't pass that up!}
Happy White Day, lovely ladies!]

The archives are rather dusty this time of year. I think that's because no one actually goes in there. Unless it's me. Chased in by my lovely lieutenant.
... Why don't we have windows in here?
Nanao-chan, my love, my dear lieutenant, please have some refreshment ready for me when I finally manage to extricate myself from this choking dust. If I'm not back for lunch, send search parties.

It's a simple scroll, ancient and a bit dusty, that shows up in Byakuya's office. It's nothing fancy and the years of storage and disuse show. Even the title is nothing much, just a dry dissertation on the breeding and keeping of hell butterflies.
But's it's delivered in a fine, if brightly colored, box with a note attached:
"Byakuya! Found this the other day and thought of you. I hope it brings you good use."
Shunsui signed it with a flourish.

Anyone up for joining me for a drink?
[Memo to Eighth Division, visible to all]
I know I don't ask often, but I'll need squad leaders to report to Ise-fukutaichou. Check your rosters; make sure everyone is accounted for.

Someone out there is being too damn loud. Do me a favor and keep it down, would you? I'm the nice captain; you don't want to contribute to the headache, do you?
[Private to Jyuushirou//Unhackable]
I have a question for you. Found something in the archives and I need to ask you about it.

Those butterflies of yours are mighty handy. I think I found something that might be useful.
[Private to Jyuushirou]
Our orders from on high tell us to rebuild Seireitei first, yeah? I got a lot of people who want to help out wherever they're needed, in Seireitei and in Rukongai. I understand why we need to make sure we've a strong home base before we can really send out relief, but I can't see the souls out in Rukongai being patient about all this. I've already heard a few reports of shinigami out there on their off-time getting the cold shoulder. No violence, as of yet, that I've heard about, but...
This worries me, my friend.

Looks like we might be past the worst. Let's hope I didn't just jinx us all.
Anyone out there need some assistance? I've a couple squads ready and willing to lend a hand wherever needed. Last I heard, Rukongai was a bit messier than anywhere in Seireitei -- I'll shift some of my clean-up crew here to districts outside Seireitei if needed.
... Yes, Jyuushirou, I'm working. Try to pick your jaw up off the ground.

[[Shunsui has a few gifts too; nothing much and nothing special but if there's going to be an excuse to give people dorky gifts coming his way, he's taking it.
Ukitake Jyuushirou gets a set of colorful gardening tools.
Unohana Retsu gets a few flowery hair clips because sometimes a beautiful woman should wear flowers in her hair. Even the practical beautiful women.
Urahara Kisuke gets these sticky notes. All scientists need something to write notes on and these were just too awesome for Shunsui to pass up.
Matsumoto Rangiku will find a colorful cat clock, along with a bottle of good sake.
Kira Izuru also gets a flask of sake, along with two cups, just so he knows he won't be drinking that alone.
Ise Nanao gets several books that Shunsui knows she's been wanting and some colorful teacups.
Any excuse Shunsui can take to add some color to his friends' lives~]]
[[ooc; Kel's done now, promise. =D]]

(ooc; sorta forward dated for tomorrow, but not really. We're just pretending that Shunsui sneaked into Jyuushirou's office sometime before morning anyway, so a post a few minutes before midnight works, right? Right.)
[[When Jyuushirou comes into his office in the morning, he'll find a few things stacked on his desk. (Yes, Shunsui did get up early -- or perhaps just snuck in late -- to get these there before Jyuushirou got in.) Each box is brightly wrapped and finished off with red ribbon.
In one is an assortment of flower bulbs, complete with instructions (that Shunsui is sure Jyuushirou doesn't need but added anyway) on how to care for and start each plant.
In another is this lovely, quirky teapot. It's about time something colorful graced the office.
The last box holds a few colorful ceramic tiles. A note with these says "You need some color in your office. Hang these on the walls."
And, of course, the traditional bottle of fine sake rests on a card which reads "I'll join you in drinking this shortly. To another year, my friend."
Happy Birthday, Jyuushirou.]]

How is everyone this fine (and somewhat cold) evening? I trust you are all warm, cozy, and comfortable. And if you are not... what are you waiting for? Get inside and get that way.
I know someone out there wants to save me from drowning in this work.
Please?
It's that time again. You know the one. When my lieutenant makes me actually be the captain and remind my squads that you must have your reports in by mid-afternoon on Tuesday!
... You know I don't even look at them until Friday.
Squad leaders, consider yourselves reminded. Now don't remind me of them.
Ukitake, my friend, do you have time to take out of that busy schedule one of these evenings? Don't even think I'm helping you move, but I'll get you drunk enough you don't remember the stress of such an endeavor.
Kira-taichou! Tuesday evening. Eighth Division. Be there or I'm tracking you down.

Anybody know of any other holidays coming up, human or otherwise? That hallowe'en craze was one of the best excuses for candy and camaraderie -- not to mention drinking -- I've seen in awhile. Humans have all sorts of weird holidays scattered through their calendar. There's gotta be... Cat Fancy Day or something. Raise a toast to your feline friends!
I suppose I could declare some sort of Eighth Division holiday. Anything special going on anywhere?
Though a few days have passed since the month started, I did not get all squads' duty rosters done and posted. Until then -- which will be Monday -- all squads are still on last month's duties. Sorry, Squad Two. I know janitorial is not the best. I'll put you on something good come Monday.
The wind is getting colder, my friends! 'Tis a perfect time to curl up with a warm mug of cider and a loved one.
