Cough 059 - [Accidental Video]

[haori]

[The sun is setting in the distance amidst the drizzle of rain as Ukitake's normal song continues playing for him.  All week, Rick Astley has been serenading him and anyone else who's been close enough to hear, and yet the Shinigami hasn't seemed to get too tired of it yet.  Yes, it's possible he's insane.  But when he approaches the pond out front with the intention of feeding the fish, the song ends.

Ukitake pauses and looks around, his hand held out mid-act.  Where's...the music?

And then, softly, a new song starts up.  Ukitake doesn't move at first, but as the singer tells his story, he quickly sprinkles the food over the water's surface  and then slips his hands inside his haori sleeves. 

If one watches closely, they can see that his expression saddens.  What a note to end the week on.  But is he sad because of the song itself and the man involved in all the pain?  Or is it because the lyrics can apply to himself?

The feed times out after a few moments of watching Ukitake stand there in the rain, the sun slipping quickly behind the clouds and horizon.]

They like to do that here, keep us on our toes, so to speak.

I don't like this song, Ukitake.

[haori]

...It's not all bad.

Depressing is what it is.

If I could stop it just for you, I would, Kyouraku.

Just listen to my song. It's just... [ he's shaking his head right now. ]

[video]

[haori]

I sense the humor has thus become stale.

[He's still amused, though.]

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

That's exactly right.

[haori]

It won't be too much longer now before the event ends. I'm positive you'll survive.

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

And you?

[video]

[haori]

Of course. This is all harmless.

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

Harmless, you say? Then how do you explain that expression. ]

[video]

[haori]

What expression?

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

I think I have all the information I need.

[video]

[haori]

...Me, Kyouraku?

I'm fine.

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

Alright then.

[video]

[haori]

...I just think too much, sometimes.

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

Don't I know it. Sounds like you can use a drink.

[video]

[haori]

I might have some sake stowed away somewhere in the house...

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

I might be interested.

[video]

[haori]

Only might be? I'm surprised at you.

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

Shhh. I'm being modest.

[video]

[haori]

Ah, I see, I see.

[video]

[peacocking.livejournal.com]

I'll be there shortly.

[video]

[haori]

I'll be in the kitchen.
