Now this feels rather more familiar. I could almost imagine I'm in the more restless districts of the Rukongai with the way the local residents have been reacting to me in the streets.

It's a relief to see everything back to normal, or at least as normal as can be had here. Still, the past few weeks have made me miss home even more.

That was an interesting trip down memory lane. I'll need to repaint my walls. Sketched over all of them with old fashioned designs. Mordred, would you like to help me paint? I was thinking a dark green.

I also bought more books then I could possibly afford. Luckily I got my shop up and running before all this, so I can sell the ones I don't need. I'm going to need help around the shop if anyone is interested. Third Eye Books & Herbs. A knowledge of herbs would be helpful, of course.

Pardon me, but are there medical facilities within the bounds of the city? I'm overdue for my next appointment at home, and it's really quite important I make it. As it seems we aren't going anywhere any time soon, I suppose I may as well see the healers here rather than try to go without.

It seems everyone is a good deal happier now. That's gratifying to see.

I've had an opportunity to discuss employment opportunities with someone far more aware of current trends than I am, and I've decided to provide temporary clerical services to businesses that find themselves in need of extra help from time to time. It should allow me some much-needed flexibility. The gaps between projects I expect I can fill with writing more children's stories, as I do at home, though I may need to make a few changes since I won't be writing for the children of Soul Society.

And is there anybody else out there that can tell me how Nathan Petrelli is doing? If he's in a drunken stupor, could you maybe I don't want to ask Dean to do it because that would be a little And maybe tell him that I'm okay?

It's far beyond time I found gainful employment here. A Soul Reaper has to eat, after all. Though, if I'm honest, I'm not entirely certain of my qualifications for what the living world considers "normal" work these days. I suppose I may be best-suited for something that involves a great deal of filling out and submitting forms and reports. There can't be much difference between Soul Society's definition of paperwork and the living world's.

Holy Son of a Asaph, any time you want to stop sending videos of my husband's reality to my store, that would be New shipment of videos today. If anyone has discovered they're from somewhere 'fictional' in someone else's reality and would rather their information not be available to the public, speak up.

This applies to anyone I haven't been doing this for or spoken to already. Otherwise assume your name is still on the list.

I am not affected in the same way many of you are--there is no one here from Soul Society whom Asaph can take from me--but I understand that it is difficult to be so thoroughly removed from those you hold dear. It is something I fear my family and friends one day having to face.

Life is a cycle, where I am from, one that must remain in balance. When a soul passes on in the Soul Society, that soul may then be given a new life in the world of the living, one free of memories. Likewise, when a soul passes on in the world of the living, it may find a new life in Soul Society, but over time, it will forget its days amongst the living. There is no promise that loved ones will find each other again, no matter in which direction they travel. Even if they do, there is no promise that they will remember, or that the ties that held them together can be reforged.

I imagine that someday, Kyouraku will be sorely tempted to seek my soul in the world of the living, just as I am tempted to seek Kaien's.

I can't hear or see Gwaine, but the room smelled of alcohol when I woke up. Would someone kindly keep an eye out in the taverns, and stop him before he's fall down drunk for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

Also I've wondered - why has no one ever tried to rebuild where the second housing building used to be? I suppose there are plenty of rooms still available in the remaining three, but I'm sure it could be turned into something useful with enough interest. I, for example, would not object to a place to spar where the locals would not stare and ask constantly if our swords are real or if we are larping, whatever that is

Beach Party. Monday. Be there.

To eleborate, Elena and I decided that there needed to be a beach party and July Fourth seemed like the perfect excuse. I know that one, we're not even on Earth or in America and two, not everyone here is from either of those places, but who really cares when there's a party to be had? The fourth is just the excuse to have it. It's not really a Fourth of July Party.

For those who are still UV sensitive, aka the sun is not your bff, or those of you who will be working during the day, the party will continue into the night so everyone will have a chance to come!

I cannot be the only person in this city capable of dealing with werewolves and I am equally sure I am not the only one with a vested interest in them not being rounded up by folks looking to slaughter them.

So. Who wants to help me try to get a lid on this issue before it spirals even further out of control? I plan on going anyway but I figured I would at least make the offer because I don't know about you people but I, for one, am sick of sitting around waiting on the situation to fix itself.

[That Was Supposed to Be a Secret]

... then Sogyo raised his sword and declared, "I refuse that!" He could not stand to see the children disappointed. He was determined to find a way to fill the village pond with fish in time for the festival.

It so happened that Sogyo knew a wealthy nobleman of Seireitei. This nobleman's gardens were the envy of all the aristocrats. His cherry trees were said to have the most beautiful blossoms in the spring, and his ponds were large and filled with many colorful koi. Surely he could spare a few for the children!

However, the nobleman, whose name was Senbon, was a very proud and severe man. Sogyo didn't know how he could convince Senbon to part with even one of the valuable fish, and so went to visit his friend Chiru. He had noticed that she was often near Senbon's ponds and that Senbon seemed to like her. After all, he was always giving her sweets! Perhaps Chiru could convince Senbon to give other children like her fish of their very own to admire!

Where is Katen Kyoukotsu? They could play a game and trick Senbon into giving them the fish!

Katen Kyoukotsu is not in this story.

But we miss them!

I know you do. I miss Kyouraku just as much.

When will we go home?

As soon as we can. Now practice being patient and let me finish the story. I can't stay up all night, even if you can!

[ooc: So ... Ukitake can do this thing were he goes into his inner world and has a chat with his katana. The spirits of his katana are twin boys. He writes children's stories back home, so he told one to calm the boys down. The exchange is supposed to stay in his inner world. Oops?]

ATTENTION TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE KEEPING MY KEY FROM ME!

Enough playing around. I know she's here, I know you know she's here, and I know you're keeping her from me. I've tried being patient and I even tried asking nicely. But no, you people just have to keep pushing and pushing and PUSHING.

So. Here's how this is going to work. In the park you will find - if you hurry, of course - one of yours. I'm not sure who, didn't bother asking his name, but I'm sure someone will notice one of their dear loved ones is missing so you'll figure it out. Now, if I were you, I'd hurry to get there because, well, he isn't exactly in his right mind anymore and we wouldn't want him getting into trouble, now would we?

See how this goes? You keep my Key from me, I take one of yours from you. And I'm going to keep right on taking at least one of yours a day, every single day, until you GIVE ME BACK MY KEY!

Any questions? Comments? Lynch mobs? Take a number and stand in line. I just want my freaking Key and I'm not going to stop until I get it.

[FAILED Private Filter; Open to All]

This is all so different from home. Oh, some things are the same. People still die, souls still need guides, and there are reapers to look after them, though as of yet I am the only shinigami. But for everything that's the same, there seem to be twice as many differences. I can perform soul purifications, but where they send the souls certainly isn't Soul Society. Not if those souls can so easily be brought back to life without need to worry about the balance between the living and the dead.

I think perhaps Sogyo no Kotowari is as uneasy here as I am. We've never been so far from Soul Society without the ability to open the Senkaimon and return at our discretion, and never on our own. Genryusai-sensei worries too much to even think of it. As a captain, I have to agree with his judgment. Although, that doesn't help much now. Reasoning with a zanpakto that has a child's spirit can be next to impossible, and I draw the line at reading bedtime stories to a sword where Tessa might notice.
