on the subject of chapter 589 and continuing to state the obvious~

[trickstermentor]

 My dearest mun-san, it's been quite a while! What a pleasure it is to be out and enjoying the sunshine with you again, and might I say that's a most fetching hair cut you're sporting?

Oh, and thank you so much for letting me use this as a platform for getting this out into the open. It's been four years and still certain parties appear to be as careless as usual.

Yoruichi-san.

You seem to have forgotten your pants again~

Comments

[goneonenight]

It's probably better than whatever you planned for me to wear.

[POOR INOUE]

[trickstermentor]

I think I might resent the implications of that remark, Yoruichi-san.

[goneonenight]

That doesn't make those implications wrong.

[trickstermentor]

Could it be that you have actually lost all of your pants?

[goneonenight]

Is that a note of distress I hear? Who knew age would make you so sensitive?

[trickstermentor]

Are you implying that I am entering the sort of age where I should be sensitive about my age? Because I can assure you most emphatically that is not the case.

I'm just concerned about the pants. They're not cheap you know.

[goneonenight]

But apparently you are. What, are you going to start charging me for food next?

[trickstermentor]

Of course not! Perish the thought, I'd never dream of such a thing!

[goneonenight]

[frysquints]

[trickstermentor]

I mean, I suppose I could if you insisted...

[goneonenight]

And I suppose I could start charging for scouting and intelligence services, with back interest, of course. I'm sure Sui-Feng would be happy to help me calculate it.

[at 10000% angry bee-ninja interest rate]

[trickstermentor]

...you do realise I was going to suggest sexual favours. I suspect Suì-Fēng-san would not be amenable to helping you with your accounting in that respect.

[goneonenight]

If she did, it'd all be variations on stabbing and smothering you.

[pause]

But can you imagine her face if I did ask?

[trickstermentor]

I suspect it would work through the entirety of the red spectrum before it settled upon a final shade close to a fetching shade of purple with apoplexy.

[goneonenight]

You say that like someone who's seen it before.

Or caused it.

[trickstermentor]

A scandalous accusation! I would never!

[trickstermentor]

...intentionally~

[goneonenight]

Of course not. Ichigo's expression in the last chapter had nothing to do with anything you did.

[trickstermentor]

I am in no way shape or form responsible for Kurosaki-san's reactions! They are most unnatural for a boy his age!

[goneonenight]

...I can't really argue with you there. What the hell is his problem? Isshin really dropped the ball there.

[trickstermentor]

Perhaps it's a genetic trait inherent in Quincy males?

[goneonenight]

Quincy females must have a knock them on the head and throw them over your shoulder gene, then. I'm not sure anything else would get through.

[trickstermentor]

Well I suppose that must explain how Isshin managed to appeal to a woman of his wife's calibre.

[goneonenight]

Yeah, it's so weird when a guy ends up with someone everyone says is out of his league.

[So dry, her voice]

[trickstermentor]

I might be so bold as to say that the choice is entirely the lady's and if she deems such an unworthy person to be her worthy of her attentions then it is nobody's place to judge.

[goneonenight]

Sometimes you manage to remind me why I keep you around.

[trickstermentor]

It's because of my good looks and impeccable taste in fashion design. Admit it.

[goneonenight]

I didn't know wringing your hands about my lack of pants counted as impeccable taste in fashion design.

[trickstermentor]

I am merely looking out for my oldest and dearest friend and ensuring that no-one objectifies her. Don't begrudge me of that before Suì-Fēng-san gets her chance.

[goneonenight]

...are you defending my virtue?

[trickstermentor]

I thought we took care of that handicap years ago~

[goneonenight]

We? I don't remember you being there.

[trickstermentor]

Well yes, clearly I wasn't there for that part but I was hoping that I was responsible for your falling into the depths of depravity.

[goneonenight]

I think we both know I'd have found my way there eventually. But I will give you credit for some of the more creative routes we took there.

[fuckyobancouch]

Could be worse. She could be lyin'n a pool'f her own blood.

Again.

[Hey. Kisuke. Kisuke, hey. Guess who's got two thumbs and is forever super-bitter about his lot in life?

Probably not Shinji, because between Bambietta and Bazz B he's probably lost at least two fingers by now.]
