Hey, Mr. Captain guy. I've got a question for you.

I'm gonna be boarding along with the rest of the crew, but if any of you plan to board as well, I want at least one of you to stick behind. We don't really know what's gonna happen, but shooting isn't our main priority right now. And I don't want you blasting cannons while we're on board.

... but if it comes to that, Hiyori, I'm leaving you in charge, alright? Anyone questions your orders, tell them you're acting in my place.

[his voice sounds a little distant and there's some noise in the background]

I hope you're all listenin' t'this, 'cause it's important.

I don't gotta tell you we just got hit, so instead I'll tell ya this: we're gonna be firing back at the Victoria II. There'll prolly be more shots comin' our way, so hold on until we get real close, a'ight? And if anything happens, the infirmary just got the hell rocked out o' it, so if you've got a splinter, don't go cryin' for a Band-Aid.

Uh, and in case y'haven't noticed, we're mostly made o' wood. So that side that just got slammed with cannonballs? Yeah, I'd stay away from that side o' the ship if you don't wanna get a hole blown through ya.

Alright, guys, we're gettin' closer and closer to our destination by the second, so make sure you're all prepared and whatnot. [laughs a little] But the Cap'n already told ya that, so I guess you don't need t'be told twice. If you're not at your post by now, I'm gonna come find ya and drag y'there myself. [sadly he does not sound like he's kidding]

We're prolly gonna be relyin' on you guys to keep the enemies busy, so in case they start shootin' or any other ships drop outta the sky or somethin', keep a real close eye on their guns if ya can. Anything else happens, just remember t'stay on your toes, and unless you gotta abandon ship for some reason, do not leave your post under any circumstance.

Are you gonna be okay where you are? If you ever need me at any time, I'm just one holler away, babe.

A word from the wise -- don't screw up, old man. [is definitely grinning while he says this ♥~]

Hey, you got a minute?

The hell's up with this game show thing? I don't really see the point in participatin', since I don't really got any dreams to realize anyway. And even if I did, I wouldn't use a contest t'motivate me. If you've got a dream, getting the money would be pretty pointless 'cause it's getting the dream t'come true that really matters in the end.

... uhh, or somethin' like that.

So what's everybody else doin'?

Guess it's about time I made one of these.

Now that it's obvious that I'm back, you can shower me with 'welcome homes' if you want, but try not to go overboard! Here's to hoping not a lot of you noticed. You could say I was on an accidental extended vacation or something. Don't ask me where I was, 'cause, hell, I don't even know.

So, what's new and exciting?

What's up with that surge of energy? That definitely didn't feel normal.

And Aizen... so he's here. I'll have to keep an eye out in case he decides to follow me around like a major creeper again.

........ uhhhhh. Babe. [trying SO HARD not to laugh, and is failing miserably]

[there's a flipping of pages, and more stifled, almost incredulous laughter] When I said I'd let you put ribbons in my hair... I totally didn't mean it like this. I can definitely say it beats having a real pony, though. [more flipping]

Jeez, can we just go get married now? Because this is amazing. [chokes on a laugh]
