Water 7, Finding Fiyero

[justicereigns]

This place is actually as impressive as it looks at first glance. The architecture reminds me of Loguetown's buildings but the canals for traveling are certainly... unique. Miss my bike. I still haven't tried the mizu meat but Nataku and Allen I picked up some mizu candy while I was checking on the ship's repairs. I got extra forgetting Yachiru isn't here so if you want some come get it.





A note to all crew: I don't care how "cute" you think the yagara sea bulls are, we are NOT keeping one! No more damn pets!

I have to leave to go rescue an idiot. No one do anything stupid while I'm gone, Tashigi's in charge. Any final questions ask now. And try not to leave the island. Especially you Lavi. If you want to take the sea train it can wait until I get back.

Fukuro I need your help if you've got the spare time.

Well insanity can lead to overprotectiveness but let's pretend I didn't say that or I'll have to question some of my own motivations.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Well I think it's kind of sweet, if a bit misguided.

[justicereigns]

I'm finding it intensely amusing.

1/2 wondering now if Karen is reading this and just keeping silent but amused nonetheless.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

I don't know whether to be amused or annoyed.

What would she have to say about it?

[justicereigns]

They're your friends.

I have no idea. Remember how I said I was pretty sure she was mad at me from earlier?
It's a moot point anyway, she's spending most of her time with Nataku.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

This is true.

Who's Nataku?

[justicereigns]

And everyone has their downsides.

That's a complicated answer but the short simple version is her adoptive son from her world. An angel like her... sort of. He's a pretty sweet kid but well whatever it's unimportant.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

I see.

[justicereigns]

Indeed.

It's just hard to know what's on her mind. That whole... confusing thing.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

So does her being mad at you have something to do with the kid being around?

[justicereigns]

... Shit I don't know.

But that doesn't make any sense! She's the one picking how she spends her time, what am I supposed to do?

I'm pretty sure it's work related.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't know her, and I barely know you, so I really don't know what to tell you.

[justicereigns]

Don't worry about it. I'm just thinking out loud so to speak.

I guess your love life being a sore subject just reminded me of how it's always a mess for anyone really.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Life sucks and then you die. And then it still sucks.

[justicereigns]

No heaven?

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Not for me. I have to stay behind. Everyone else goes somewhere else, though. Maybe it's heaven. I don't know.

[justicereigns]

Until you fill your quota you said. Then you too.

Maybe there's something you're holding onto.

Most religions teach that you can't go to heaven without actually wanting to. I realize that sounds silly since most people wouldn't NOT want to but it's kind of like not wanting to be angry. Sometimes you feel like you have no choice but to be angry but sometimes despite being an unpleasant feeling, people want to hold onto that anger for some reason or another.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Then me too. It'll be a long time, though. I know reapers who've been around for over 100 years.

No, I'm not a ghost. I'm not here of my own volition at all. This is just. My job.

[justicereigns]

Known any that went shorter?

Somebody's got to do it but I find it a little difficult to believe it's 100% done at random. Too much pattern to everything else, that just throws in an anomaly.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

No.

Yeah, Rube says it's destiny or something.

[justicereigns]

I see.

Rube?

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Oh. Yeah. He was kind of like. My boss. Another reaper.

[justicereigns]

And he said it was destiny? Sounds like a smart man.

[deadgirldropout.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He was.

[justicereigns]

Was?
