Jet said that he figured out why the Easter Bunny didn't leave any chocolate eggs in the basement.  He said that the bunny couldn't reach the light switch, and was afraid of the dark, so he didn't leave any in the basement.  But he couldn't figure out why the Easter Bunny didn't leave any eggs in the office or the bedrooms or the bathroom.   *laughter*



I didn't think I could love Ikkaku any more... but now I can.  Goodness gracious.  I especially love a guy who can actually stick with and follow a leader he trusts.  That takes a lot.

I'm finally figuring out more of the Arrancar, and probably need to before someone requests writing of some kind of me from them, so we'll see how it goes.  The attitudes are interesting and how different they are from each other.  It's fun.

Ha!  And now I know the relative rankings of Menos Hollows and how they compare.  This is going to be interesting for Twin Souls.

I totally loved the last half dozen episodes of <i>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex</i>, once the hunt for Section 9 really starts and they really are threatened for the first time in the series.  They are vulnerable, real, and care a lot about each other but are willing to be totally ruthless to each other for the sake of the goal.  Sometimes I wonder if I write my folks being just too competent, too good at working together, and then I see them... and it's just that I have to make sure that the forces arrayed against them are scary enough.  I totally loved the Tachikoma even more than I had before.  Their whole sequence, especially once the Major speaks to them, just made me cry.  Yeesh.  Batou-san! That the Major finally sees what they're capable of, now, was really cool. 

I managed to get a good ride in and my allergy shots, so I'm wiped.  But today's going to be the last day I can really just be alone for a while.  The boys are going to a bar to meet a friend for the evening, so I'll be around for chatting or other things, and then next week is spring break, so I might not be able to write the way I have been.  So it is.

Sweater's done.  Gotta get a picture of it, and I'm part way through a washcloth.

Whee for sweater!

Ikkaku's such a loyal devoted, um, thug. ;)

*laughter* Oh, totally. I love his thugginess, though, it's so... absolute. And the boy can fight, I have to give him that.

I'm sort of torn on the concept of him as a Captain. Maybe if he had a vice-captain who could point him in the right direction at crucial moments . . .

Isn't that what the Vice-captain is for?

Given how he trained Renji, I actually think he might make an excellent captain if he really wanted to do it. Not just being able to lead, but being able to step aside at the appropriate moment.

I just don't see him *wanting* to do it.

True. He has no wish for it. Sigh.

I'm also realizing that Zaraki told Ikkaku to just live and consider himself lucky for living, not worry about dieing if he loses, but after Ichigo, he *still* apologizes for not dieing when he lost. *laughter* He is singular...

And Yumichika is very cute in his flowered kimono. *laughter* So beautiful even in the Districts.

Maybe it's just that ideas take a very, very long time to get through Ikkaku's shiny skull . . .

Yumichika is always gorgeous. (ponders temptation to turn him into a vampire in _Requiem_.)

*flails at the idea*

Holy smokes. He would be an excellent vampire. *laughter*

It could be awkward, if he tries using his shikai on any vampires, as he did with Urahara . . .

His shikai *is* vampiric, isn't it??

Indeed it is. And he hasn't told anyone else, either. Oh dear me.

*just falls over giggling*

Oh dear.

Well, the bit from _Requiem_ in chapter 8:

Orihime raised one delicate hand, and Renji couldn't help thinking that tactic wouldn't do much good in an Eleventh Division internal meeting. "But -- I know I managed to fix Yumichika-san from what happened to him --"

"Huh?" Renji said, confused.

"I'll explain in a moment," Yumichika said casually, with the air of someone who planned to wriggle out of the question.

I was reading until I got... distracted... sorry. :-)

Very cool. It's been an interesting read. Yay!
