Gonna head out to Rukongai come morning and check out a few things. I should be back by early afternoon, so I'll have reports in before I leave for the evening, taichou. Anybody needs anything from the Seventh, they can contact the Third Seat and leave a message with him.

... The north steps are fine now, by the way.

You sure those steps weren't fine last week, too?

[glasses_atnight]

Definitely not fine last week. What're you trying to say?

[storm_pulse]

Not trying to say anything, sir. Really. But I heard that post, and you did sound kinda out of it. Just thought that might've been the problem instead.

[glasses_atnight]

Ain't no problem with them or me.

I'm so glad those steps were repaired, Iba-fukutaichou! Someone might have gotten hurt! [*she's kinda LOLin'*]

If you'd like some company, I'd like to go with you into Rukongai. I have some family there and would really like to be a part of the cleanup efforts.

[glasses_atnight]

Nothing good about damaged steps.

... Yeah, sure. Got no problem with an extra set of hands and eyes. Leaving 10 AM from the West Gate.

[shinigami_baito]

No sir! Sounds like they were really in bad shape, too. [These are not the LOLz you're looking for.]

Thank you very much, sir! I'll be there with bells on!

[Added thirty seconds later]

[shinigami_baito]

Not actual bells, sir.

Thank you, Vice-Captain Iba. I will make sure that our couriers are informed of the route being open again, as some of them evidently were ignorant to the fact of it being impassable earlier.
