What do single people who don't have extended family in this country/dimension actually do on Thanksgiving? Everything I know about this holiday comes from Thanksgiving episodes of tv shows and I'm a little dubious about the accuracy.

I'm a skinny, twerpy-looking Asian kid. Seriously, what the hell? I used to eat kids like this for lunch.

Krissy
No, this cannot be happening, I refuse

Are you okay?

Uryu
Did you switch bodies as well?

Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad the zombie outbreak is over. But I hate thinking about all the people who had to die because of it. The portal is the WORST.

Private to Rin and Thalia (separately)

Hey there. Are you doing okay?

Let me be very clear about this. I didn't close Bar Fly during The Invasion and I have no intention of closing it now. If you need help and have no where else to go, consider this a safe-haven. If you have expertise or supplies you'd like to donate, drop on by. If you're afraid of infection and don't want to come but need help, let me know and I'll see if I can find someone to come out to you.

Look after yourselves people and don't forget, aim for the head.

Whatever is happening to people isn't just limited to their personalities. I'm sensing an incredible increase in spiritual energy, something I haven't felt since I got here from Hueco Mundo. I feel as though the people expressing violent tendencies are changing their very essence. It feels almost like they're turning into Hollows. Dark spirits that form when souls do not properly cross over to Soul Society after their passing. Except these individuals still seem very much alive, which is something that greatly puzzles me.

I do not wish to have to use spirit energy to eliminate the threat they pose on the city, but I fear if the problem is left to fester, it will only become more difficult to contain.

Private to Rin

Is there a way for you to detect demons in the same way that I can detect Hollows through their spiritual pressure? At this point, I'm not entirely convinced that this is the work of Hollows but I'd like to be more sure of that.

I don't understand what the hell is going on.

Yukio? あなたはまだロバですか。


ooc translation: Are you still being a jackass?

Hey, does anyone here speak Japanese? Something from home showed up today that I wanted to get translated. It was a gift, but I never really thought about finding out what it said until now.

I'm seriously starting to think that Holly has a sense of humor because this necklace is a very ironic thing to give me right now.

My sword was in my closet this morning.

And Oliver was honest with me.


(ooc: I have the translation from an online source if anyone's character does speak it and can supply it!)

It appears as though I've managed to secure employment teaching archery at the Dance Academy. I don't know how good of an instructor I'll be, but I can surely show anyone the basics of archery for either competitive purposes or meditative purposes. Yes, archery can be used as a form of meditation, wherein the focus isn't so much on combat, self-defense or hunting but more on a contemplative state. The beauty of archery is that it forces a person to challenge themselves as opposed to other sports where a person is being challenged by someone else. It can be a deeply personal experience, which I could certainly help facilitate.

Is there a large demand for this type of training here? There is also training in gathering spirit energy, but I hardly feel very much of it around here. I'm not sure if I can even produce a spirit arrow in these conditions, though I will have to try at some point.

This is weird. I could probably run circles around wormhole theories and how theoretically they're just supposed to be hypothetical but apparently they're not and now I'm freaking out. It looks like Einstein and Rosen were really onto something, too bad they're both really deceased.

I'm looking for a job.

Are there any facilities here where I can help research the wormhole?

You have got to be kidding me... a wormhole? And it supposedly drops people into Oregon? When I find out who's responsible for this, they're going to pay. Dearly.

Well, isn't this interesting.

Good thing I always carry my sewing kit around with me. Does anyone require clothing made out of bedsheets?

I am not exactly inclined to accept the word of a holographic person. Especially when I wake up in a hospital room.

I was in Hueco Mundo one minute, and the next, I'm here. Back in the world of the living. How is that even possible? Wormholes are theoretical anyway.
