HAPPY NEW YEAR'S AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ Best wishes from Bermuda Isle!



A number of booths have sprung up near the shoreline, enticing you to don yourself in the colorful festive garb of a true Bermuda native! Unwind from your day and come out to see what's offered. ♥ There are all sorts of delicious foods and snacks, and plenty of souvenirs. It's time to ring in the New Year of 2012! Lanterns have been strung up, and the snow seems to have stopped. In fact, no snow is to be seen near the site of the festival itself. Oddly, the booths are all run by strange black goatlike creatures in finely tailored suits...

The catch is, unless you sneak in, you have to come with a friend or a date! So find someone to go in with you! ♥ You may even catch a glimpse of Eureka as she wanders the festival... ]

[That was certainly something he admired about her.]

[He'd never seen things like this before, so he was a bit unfamiliar with them. Then, he notices something that catches his eye. Pointing to it, the goat butler standing there hands it to him. But he doesn't show it to Kukaku just yet.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[There are times when it's really not something to be admired, but it certainly sounds good.]

[She'd been looking at something else when he'd spotted it, so she doesn't see what he was handed, but she'd caught the motion of the goat butler out of the corner of her eye and looks back at Fletcher.]

...What'd you get?

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He nervously turns to reveal a sash decorated with small seashells going across the fabric. It wasn't much, and he didn't even know if she would like it, but he held it up to her.]

U-um, I thought you might like this. Y-you don't have to wear it though. I-I wanted to get you something in return for taking care of me the other day. And you said you l-like wearing loose things s-so um... [gosh, he was terrible at this...]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[She's a little surprised by it, that he actually got something for her... She took it carefully and smiled.]

It's great. I mean it. Thanks. Looks real warm too, so it'll be good while there's all this cold weather.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Y-your welcome. I-I'm glad you like it. Hopefully it will be useful to you.

I hope the weather does get better, or the trees might wither.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

It's real pretty. I've never had anything like this before.

Trees are real strong. I'm sure they'll be fine.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Its not too much is it? I know you said you didn't really like all those things about nobility and wearing things that didn't suit you...

...I know its strange, but I can feel a connection with the natural things on this island sometimes. [He laughs weakly to himself and glances up at her.] Is that strange?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Nah.. This ain't something I have to wear because of nobility. It's a gift from a friend. So it's not like that. And I think it suits me just fine!

[She looks over and smiles, then musses his hair.]

You're tellin' this to a lady who talks to her sword. That ain't nearly the strangest thing I've ever heard. That just means ya got talent!

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I'm glad.

[Surprised~] You have a talking sword?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Oh.. Yeah. Well I mean, all Shingami do. They can only talk to their master, but they're alive and all.

Ru's is around the house sometimes. Don't know why she's separate from Ru, though. You seen her? Cold lady? All in white? A little too uptight for my taste, but a pretty okay chick? I avoid her mostly. The idea of talking to some other shingiami's zanpkauto make me uncomfortalbe.

But mine's kind of cranky and annoying. We have this sort of love-hate thing going where we mostly just argue and yell at each other, but we're pretty close deep down.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Ah, do you mean miss Shirayuki? I met her, she was very nice! She said she has never been separated from her master before, and it sounds like they have a close relationship. I enjoyed talking with her a lot.

[He laughs] It sounds like yours suits you just right Kukaku, with that kind of relationship.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, that's her. All zanpakuto are close with their masters. At least they should be. Even if they don't always get along. But knowing Rukia, she's probably really nice.

[It still awkward to be around Shriayuki since that was the blade that killed her, even if she doesn't hold hard feelings over it.]

Heh.. Yeah, me and the old girl don't always see eye to eye, But we've got common goals and that's enough for us to get along.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. She told me that she had never been separated from miss Rukia before until she got here. Did that happen to the other Zanpakuto too?

[Thoughtful pause] It seems like they're a reflection of their masters, or at least similar in a way.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Not as far as I know. Mine's still with me, and I ain't seen any others. Looks like it's just Shirayuki.

[She nods.]

That's generally how it goes. They're part of us, so it makes some sense that we're alike.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[His face lights in fascination]

Shinigami and Zanpakuto are so interesting to learn about, I never knew those kind of things existed.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku laughs a bit.]

Yeah well... It'll be a long time hopefully before you really need to know about any of that.

But you'd probably make a damn good shinigami once you get there.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

You think so?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. I bet you'd do real well on Captain Unohana's squad! Or even maybe in mine!

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He laughed at that. Even though he wasn't trained like Kukaku, it was still nice to know that he could be useful.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

But hopefully we won't have to worry about that for a long time.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. There are still a lot of things I still want to do before that happens.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Yeah... You got a long way ahead of you before that, I'm hoping.
