Well, even if I ain't around no more, thanks for the well wishes.

[This Cactuar has arrived and it has brought you a gift.]

[the_grinreaper]

[ Oh. Interested. ]

What's that y'got there?

[1000_needles]

[ONE THOUSAND NEEDLES!]

[the_grinreaper]

[ oh that's not nearly as fun-- But Gin is prepared, whipping his blade around quickly to block each and every one. He may have not been in the manga for a year or so, but that hasn't dulled his abilities at all. ]

[1000_needles]

[Uh oh, what should it do now?

Time to call for back up. Several more join the party.

Your move Gin!]

[the_grinreaper]

I really can't forgive ya for attackin' me on my birthday. But if ya leave now... I won't kill ya.

[1000_needles]

[Cactuar are pretty weak and not capable of taking down a shinigami, let alone one of Gin's level.

They do the only rational thing.

They all fire ONE THOUSAND NEEDLES!]

[the_grinreaper]

So that's your answer, huh.

[ Gin sighs before disappearing from view, utilizing his shunpo to dodge every incoming needle. ]

[1000_needles]

[Oh no, Cactuar can't even keep up with that type of movement. Their holes for eyes are not capable of processing that.

So, instead of assaulting Gin again, they run around in a circle. Making panicked sounds as they go.]

Ge-ka!

[the_grinreaper]

[ Reappearing admist the panicking Cactuar, Gin draws his blade. ]

Too bad.

[ With lightning speed, the blade extends and the fox-faced man is able to whip it around with ease. ]

[1000_needles]

[Gin, you monster.

You slay all the Cactuar.

...

...

...

You get 1000xp, 550 Gil, and a potion.]

[the_grinreaper]

[ Taking his rewards, kthx. ]

Maybe this wasn't such a wasted present after all.

[1000_needles]

[A shadow moves over Gin as something steps up behind him.

Standing there is a 15 foot tall Cactuar...

...with a mustache.

And look at all those dead Cactuar laying about.]

Ge-Ka!

[the_grinreaper]

[ ... Turns. Looks up. ]




... Huh. Yer a big one.

[1000_needles]

[He's big all right.

Sadly, he's still not a match for Gin.

Angry Jumbo Cactuar goes on the attack, though!

TEN THOUSAND NEEDLES!!!]

[the_grinreaper]

[ Gin gives an irritated smile, zipping around to and fro in order to avoid the onslaught of needles, even having to use his blade to counter some of them.

But one manages to prick his cheek, drawing blood. ]

... Aa~aah. I didn't wanna bleed on my birthday.

[1000_needles]

[He's bleeding! Victory is at hand!

The over confident Jumbo Cactuar responds with another barrage.

ONE THOUSAND NEEDLES!]

[pink_chrysanth]

*chuckles lightly* I'm glad someone else remembers today is your birthday.

[the_grinreaper]

Yeah, me too.

[pink_chrysanth]

Sorry I don't have a gift for you this year. Then again, I wasn't anticipating seeing you. [After all....in her world you're dead.]

[the_grinreaper]

That's okay. Seein' you is a gift on its own.

[pink_chrysanth]

How have you been? [moves to sit beside you]

[the_grinreaper]

[ Smiles at her. ] Lonely, I guess. I ain't seen much action in a long while.

[pink_chrysanth]

[smiles back and might even be bold enough to lightly nudge your shoulder]

Feel up to anything? We could always do something together. It is your birthday after all and we used to do things in the past to celebrate.
