haori: (Smile with your heart of gold)
[Ukitake is in the kitchen, smiling excitedly.  On the counter are various food items:  White rice, green tea, and some prepackaged toppings in different flavors.  Ukitake is sure his PCD is still acting up and transmitting in Japanese, so for those who don't speak it, he gestures to the food as he speaks.]

私はお茶漬けの 材料を発見した。 お茶漬け。

[He points to himself, then holds a hand over his chest, over his heart.]


それは私の好き なものを --

[Here, the audio resorts to static, cutting off what Ukitake is saying, before it comes back in.

To Arabic.]


-- أود أن محاولة بعض ، وأنا على استعداد للمشاركة.

 
[Again, he gestures to the ingredients, and holds his palms out toward the PCD before shutting it off.]


[ooc:  The Japanese roughly translates to, "I found ingredients for ochazuke.  Ochazuke.  It is my favorite thing--"  The Arabic roughly translates to, "--would like to try some, I am willing to share."]
haori: (Tea for two but absence reigns)
[Ukitake sits at his desk, looking out the window as a little bit of rain sprinkles against the glass.  It appears as if he's trying to write something, but the bit of paper he has out is blank.  Finally, he sighs and puts down the brush.]

Where are you?

[A few moments of silence and his expression becomes more worried, before he coughs a few times into his hand.  An almost tense second fills the air before Ukitake looks at the damage on his hand.

But there's no blood this time.  Ukitake leans back in his chair and looks at the ceiling as the feed shuts off.]



[ooc:  Rinoa-mun is on hiatus, so that means Rinoa is out with no explanation of where she went or why, and her PCD is turned off.  Therefore, Ukitake boyfriend is reasonably worried.]
haori: (Smile with your heart of gold)
[Ukitake is outside of the house, in the garden, tending to a new addition.  He has managed to find a bonsai tree and is smiling quite contentedly at it.  To anyone watching, it would appear as if he were looking at an old friend, and in a way, he is.]

Spring is finally returning.  And that means I will spend more time outside with my new project here.

Of course, if anyone ever wants to join me in enjoying nature, all you have to do is ask.  I'd be more than willing to spend time with old or new friends.  Yes, even you, Leon-san.

[He spends a few seconds looking over the boughs of the small tree.]

I would also like to extend my own welcome to all of the newcomers, if I haven't done so already personally.  I'm Ukitake Jyuushirou.

[Private to Matsumoto//Unhackable] )
haori: (Spreading sugar since antiquity)
Is there anything we need for the house while I'm out?  I fear I've been depleting the tea supply, so I know to at least get that, but since I don't know what some of you like, it's going to be a new experience getting some food.    Just tell me what sounds good and I'll try my best to pick it up.

[Private to Rinoa//Hackable] )
haori: (Spreading sugar since antiquity)
[Ukitake is packing.  Clothes are laid out on his futon and there's a box filled with some odds and ends next to the futon.  He doesn't have too many belongings, and some are already at his new home.]

Anko-san, Sakura-chan...it's been a pleasure living with you two, even through all of the hard times and changes we've endured.  However, I believe it's time for me to move on to a new chapter of life, and a new residence.  Always feel free to contact me if you wish.  I would like to stay in touch.

Neji-san, I'd like to thank you for giving me a place to stay for all these months.  If there is anything I can ever do to return the favor, let me know.

[Private//Unhackable to Squall] )
haori: (Shunsui put that away!)
[Quite a short post for the taichou today.  He is standing far enough away from the PCD so he can be seen in full.  And it's quite an interesting sight.  He is wearing a white kosode and - ]

I have green...plaid...hakama.

That's interesting.
haori: (I'm too sexy for my shirt)
[Ukitake is lying in bed, but to anyone who knows where he lives, it's obvious that this isn't his bed.  Or his room.  Or his house.

Oh right, he got tossed around by Kyuubi a week ago and hasn't been sent home by his captors caretakers yet.

The PCD shows him sitting up slowly, hair hair limply hanging down, hiding his face from view.  Rinoa is a good healer, and her magic took care of his gashes and burned hands relatively easily, but his ribs still hurt.  He has no plans to get thrown through walls again any time soon.  An arm holds onto his bandaged torso as he carefully pulls the covers off of his legs.

And then Angelo appears, playing guard dog and growling at Ukitake in warning.  She's not letting him go anywhere.]


Shh, Angelo, I'm all right.

[She continues growling and standing her ground, even while Ukitake manages to pull himself out of bed.  He goes over to the dresser and starts to put on the yukata laid out on top of it.  He only gets one arm through before his luck changes and Angelo's growling progresses to short barks.]


Hey, there's no call for that, girl.  I just have to move around a little.

[He reaches out a hand to pet her, and hopefully calm her, but then she snaps at his hand, causing him to pull back quickly, and then lose his balance.  So he's back on the bed, half-dressed, and holding his sides in some more pain.  He's not getting out of the house at all.  Angelo barks some more to get her owner's attention and then the feed cuts out.]




[ooc:  The keywords for this icon are a little too fitting, I think.]
haori: (Sweat out the hardships of life)
[The scene opens up to show a pile of rubble, what one can guess used to be a wall, somewhere in the city, angled due to how the PCD has fallen.  A hand sticks out from beneath the wall fragments, pink and red as if badly burned.  It is almost eerily quiet, except for the roaring in the distance.  Kyuubi.  So he has made this mess, but who's PCD is recording?

Slowly, the rubble moves and the figure underneath weakly pushes the pieces off of himself.  It's Ukitake and he doesn't look like himself.  The injuries that can be seen at this moment are his burned hands and a large gash above his left eyebrow, blood dripping from it down his face and staining his hair crimson.  His left eyes is swollen shut.

As he sits up, Ukitake immediately hugs himself and cringes in obvious pain.  But he can't stay there, so he struggles to his feet, face never losing that painful expression, and takes a step before falling to his knees, barely reaching a hand out in time to break his fall further.  Grimacing again, he rolls to sit again and we now see a large shard of glass embedded in his left thigh.]


Oh, Kami...

[He shakily reaches to rip off some material from the ripped hem of his hakama and then cringes again as he rips out the glass, making a field tourniquet as quickly as he can, but not before a small puddle of blood appears under his leg.]


[ooc:  So, I'm impatient.  Ukitake and Kyuubi haven't met in the log yet, but from what I've gathered about Kyuubi's powers, I figured Ukitake would get thrown through a few walls.  He may have tough skin, but he's not invincible, especially when he has little knowledge of his adversary.  If anyone thinks I'm overdoing it, let me know and I'll edit accordingly.]
haori: (Hike up your skirt a little more)
So Valentine's Day is coming up.  This should be interesting. 

^.~

(Look, I made another face!  This one's winking.)

[ooc:  Ukitake is Japanese.  Thus, he's relying on the White Day tradition.  Ohho, fun times.]
haori: (Sweat out the hardships of life)

[The feed opens with the sight of Ukitake coughing into his free hand.  Luckily, no blood can be spottted.  Yet.]

Ungh...my apologies.  Even with the weather clearing up, it seems that it has finally caught up with me.  [Cough.]  It's what I get for traipsing about in the snow.

[He tucks himself into bed, propped up on pillows again.  This is a normal pose for the Shinigami, as friends have and will come to know.  Sniffling, he speaks again.]

I should be back to myself within a week or tw--

[There must have been a tickle in his throat because he's coughing violently now, red visible through the cracks of his fingers before the feed ends.]


haori: (Sweat out the hardships of life)
[It's another unplanned post to the network as we see Ukitake kneel in front of a teapot and teacup.  He's popular this month, or so the PCDs must think.

His cup already has sugar in it and he puts in a teabag, one that Hitsugaya will recognize as being a gift from him for Christmas.  Then Ukitake starts to pour in the hot water.

BANG.

The PCD shows a dark blur hit the window amidst the madness of the swirling snow.  Is it a bird?  A rock?  A small child?  We can't know for sure. 

But we do know that Ukitake jerks back in surprise at the noise, spilling water on the hand supporting the teapot, as well as his thigh.  He hisses in pain as he sets down the pot, and shakes his injured hand free of the water.]


Damnit...

[The feed ends.]
haori: (Bleach - Ukitake unforgiven)
[The feed turns on to show Ukitake gathering up some sake cups, setting one in front of him and the other in front of where the guest would sit.  Of course, the guest he has in mind isn't here any longer.  He pours sake into the cups, not quite full, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Setting down the sake bottle, he folds his hands in his lap and bows his head.  All is silent for a few moments.]


I know you wanted to keep your stash secret, but you were never good at hiding some things from me.

[He lifts his cup up.]


I'll take good care of it, Kyouraku.

[And drinks it in one go, immediately setting it down.  He sits silently again, looking at the untouched cup, and finally drains it, as well, sighing lightly as he sets it down.

Then the feed cuts out.]
haori: (Bleach - Ukitake smile)
It's pretty nasty out there.  I hope everyone stays inside, unless you absolutely have to leave.  That means you, too, Hitsugaya-taichou.  [A smile at his Shirou friend.]

On to happier news, thank you all for the Christmas presents.  If there is ever anything I can do in return, please let me know.  I would love to give the generosity right on back.

[Private to Yoruichi] )
haori: (Bleach - Ukitake ponytail)
[The feed turns on to show a very spiffy Ukitake, with his hair pulled back into a ponytail.  He's surrounded by what looks like shrubberies.  To anyone at the Masque, it is obvious he is in the Green Room.]

This message is targeted to Gotei Thirteen members, but anyone who can give information is encouraged to do so.

I have been making my way through this building and, while I'm sure I've seen a good amount of people, I can't be sure to have seen everyone.  I am looking for one Aizen Sousuke, who has recently arrived in Adstringendum.  While he has shown no hostility to me or others that I am aware of, he is known to have done so in his future.  I believe it is important for us to keep an eye on him at all times, especially during events.

In short, if anyone knows where he is currently, please let me know.

[He turns the feed off.]
haori: (Bleach - Ukitake smile)
[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.]
haori: (Bleach - Ukitake blood sacrifice)
[The video starts with a shot of Ukitake, looking even paler than usual, and without his trademark smile.  In short, he looks like hell.  The lack of sleep lately doubled with his now-weakened state is taking its toll on him.]

[Sniffle.]  I just...want to tell everyone not to visit me.  This week.  I'm not feelin-

[Suddenly, he coughs violently and the PCD tumbles out of his hand, landing so we see the ceiling, his coughing still echoing in the background.  After a moment, the coughing finally ends and he picks up the PCD, a mug of tea in his free hand.  As he speaks this time, his voice is quieter.  He doesn't want to elicit that reaction again.]

Ungh...apologies.  As I was saying, I'm not feeling too well.  [Sniffle.]  I don't...want to get anyone sick.  Just...

[He gently waves the tea mug about for a second, then sighs.] 

Never...never mind.

[He shuts off the feed.]


haori: (Bleach - Ukitake grin)
[The PCD turns on to a closeup of one of Ukitake's very brown eyes.  As he backs away, huge grin plastered on his face, it is immediately evident that trouble is afoot.]

I probably shouldn't have - [chuckle] - but there's this green candy EVERYWHERE and I just...I just had to eat some.

[He pops another piece into his mouth and quickly moves to the far end of his room, his whole body now visible.]

It's so good!  I swear, this stuff needs to last beyond the week!

[He points to the PCD.]

Shirou-chaaan!  I consider this a sign from the Animus and any other deities, including ourselves, that we were destined to be great friends from the start.

[And then, Ukitake clears his throat and starts humming, which turns into phonetic singing.  Anyone from Earth will recognize the tune as the infamous Can-Can music.  While singing, he does some weak leg kicks (Still looking out for his health, honest) and waves his arms about in some semblance of rhythm.  In other words, all of Adstringendum gets a free show of a very hyper and excited dancing Ukitake.

Finally the feed turns off after he does a couple turns, obviously a little dizzy.]


haori: (Bleach - Ukitake ponytail)
[Ukitake appears on the feed, hair pulled back into a loos ponytail.  He smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes.]

Ah, so the event seemed successful.  Leon, Jr., I'm glad we got to know each other better.  It was a pleasure being your roommate and I hope we can spend more time together.  I am always willing to meet friends for tea, so let me know.

[Here his face goes more grim.]

So, as some of you have already noticed, someone else has died.  I...don't mean to poke my nose into others' business, but who was she?  And does anyone know what happened?  It is...disconcerting to me.

[He pauses and then the feed turns off.]
