Cough 016 - [Accidental Video Post]

[haori]

[The feed turns on to show Ukitake kneeling next to his futon, where his zanpakutou is resting, unsheathed. Someone familiar with the Taichou would notice immediately that his white haori is nowhere to be seen. He looks to be deep in concentration.

He stays like that for a few moments and then opens his eyes, looking a little surprised.]

Of course. It's been a while since I've looked at it that way.

[He then stares out the window, not really focusing on anything, just looking in that direction, and is quiet again. After that silence, he tilts his head to the side and smiles gently.]

Yes. I would like to speak with you more often. I've been meaning to, but...well, you understand what's going on up here.

[He taps the side of his head for emphasis. There is a final silence and then the feed times out.]

[Have the sorceress staring at this scene for a bit, she's a bit puzzled alright?]

Hmm, Ukitake?

[Video]

[haori]

[He looks at the PCD, surprised to see people talking to him.]

Ah, Rinoa. I was just talking with my zanpakutou.

[Video]

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

Zanpakutou? OHH, your sword.

You can do that?

[Video]

[haori]

[He nods.]

Our zanpakutou are a part of our souls and remain with us until death. We keep an open communication so we both can grow stronger, in the mind and the soul.

I guess one could compare to finding a deeper part of yourself and coming to understand it better.

[The young woman nods in understanding.]

So the stronger that bond becomes the better?

[scarysnakelady]

Talking to yourself, Ukitake?

[Video]

[haori]

[He hums quietly in amusement.]

Not quite, Anko-san. My zanpakutou and I were having a long overdue conversation.

[Video]

[scarysnakelady]

Ahh, I understand completely. Sounds like... she? Rearranged your perspective a bit. Good.

[Video]

[haori]

He, actually. But yes, I believe we had a successful talk.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...Ah.

[Just have a nod. He's not sure if he should say anything.]

[Video]

[haori]

Hitsugaya.

I trust everything is well with you.

[Video]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

Of course.

...I'll be over shortly, if you need anything. [He's heading over to Hyuuga 2 to make sure Sauce doesn't overwork himself while sick. And because he's a good little shinigami, he can pay you a visit while he's at it.]

[Video]

[haori]

Good to hear.

I don't need anything, thank you, but it will be good to see you again.

Checking up on Sasuke-kun?

-=a quiet, shy voice. And look, a white haori over a hanbok=-

Is... that like shinto? I heard about that once, that a warrior's weapon holds a spirit inside of it.

[Video]

[haori]

[He smiles slightly, seeing the haori, but says nothing.]

I am unfamiliar with this "shinto," but the idea sounds right.

[He gestures to the sword.]

This is my zanpakutou, Sougyo no Kotowari, and he is a part of my soul.

[Video]

[a-wenches-life.livejournal.com]

A part of you? -=Awed look=-

Doesn't that hurt?

[Video]

[haori]

[He's not chuckling at you, Gong-gil, just your expression.]

It doesn't. Every Shinigami has a zanpakutou that stays with them for life, so it's more an extension of what we are. You may have noticed this, but we Shinigami are not human.

Hello, Jyuu.
You look better, are you?

[Video]

[haori]

Rosa-san.

I am, thank you.

[Video]

[jealousvampire.livejournal.com]

That's very nice to hear.
I was a bit worried about your condition.
Not that I do not trust Ms. Unohana, but ...

[Video]

[haori]

I appreciate your concern, but I have lasted long enough with my condition. Unohana-taichou has taken very good care of me.

[bunny_flower]

How is Sogyo no Kotowari, Ukitake-taichou ?

[Video]

[haori]

As lively as ever, Unohana-taichou. I hope you and Minazuki are well?

[Video]

[bunny_flower]

We are, we are.

[Video]

[haori]

Glad to hear it.
