Cough 068 - [Video]

[taichou_tb]

[There's snow! The first snow of the season in Adstringendum, and this particular PCD turns on to show a miniature snowman, complete with a little homemade banner. The person behind the craft turns the PCD toward his face, revealing a very bundled up Ukitake

You do seem to enjoy yourself.

...You sure it's safe for you to be outside in the cold?

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

Simple things in life can often be the most satisfying.

[He's about to answer, but then sneezes.]

...My apologies. I'm going to go inside in a few minutes so I don't make anything worse.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

It takes a wise man to know that.

Bless you. [She just nods.] I'd say try to get inside before Mrs Unohana notices but it might be too late for that.

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

Or just one who's been around long enough.

Mn, thank you. Ah, Unohana-taichou notices everything, or at least it seems like she does whenever I get sick like this.

[Cue Sora sitting cross-legged on his bed bouncing up and down surrounded by a bunch of clothes because he's really only been in the snow once and he didn't get any time to play in it.]

What should I wear? I wanna go outside!

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

Definitely warm clothing, including gloves, if you can find-

[Wait. He's seen this face before. Except Sora hasn't been in Adstring for a while. Man, he must have missed quite a bit while losing it last week.]

Sora-san! I see you're back.

[licensedhero]

I'll ask Riku if we have any!

[And he almost just bounds away but he staggers back and flops on the bed, picking up the PCD.]

Did I know you too the last time I was here? Sorry for forgetting you. Can we make up for it by building a snow man?

[taichou_tb]

It's quite all right. People don't remember their previous stays.

[He turns away to cough, but it's a normal sick cough, not the painful hacking of his illness.]

Excuse me. I'd love to join you, but I'm afraid I'm a little under the weather and my...

[He pauses, wondering, for the millionth time, what his relationship with Unohana (and Urahara) is. He would call her his girlfriend, but they haven't actually talked about it, so he'll play it safe.]

My personal physician would be very upset if I made myself sicker. Perhaps the next time it snows we can test our artistic skills.

[Someone is coming to see you, Ukitake. Because you're sick and therefore shouldn't be outside. Even if you are bundled up like an Eskimo.]

Shouldn't you be resting?

[Action]

[taichou_tb]

[The cutest Eskimo. An Eskigami!]

I couldn't help it. I always seem to get sick during the winters here and hardly get to have any fun. I won't stay out for long, though. Unohana-taichou will yell at me if I do.

qarfghjkl OFFLINE FOR WHATEVER IT IS WE USE AT THIS HURR GAME.

[reflectivedawn]

[And Eskigami. You did not even.]

She won't be the only one.

[Walking over the banner now, hands in his pockets.]

What's this for?

SAME DAMN THING

[taichou_tb]

[So did.]

Hence why I will be a good patient, even before being checked in.

[However, he approaches his little snowman in order to answer Riku's question.]

Just a bit of silliness, really. It's the insignia of the Thirteenth Division, my Division. The top half is how we write "thirteen."

[Lifting a hand to pull his hair away from the back of his haori, he turns his back to Riku so he can see the matching number inside a diamond on the overcoat.]

See?

The bottom is our Division's flower, the snowdrop, which stands for hope.

[hyuugahime]

... A snowman?

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

Just for fun.

[Video]

[hyuugahime]

Why thirteen?

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

That's the number of my Division back home.

[bunny_flower]

Juushirou-san ...

[She wants to look disapproving, but the snowman is too funny.]

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

I know, I know. I'm heading in.

[Video]

[bunny_flower]

Thank you.

... That is very cute, though.

[taichou_tb]

I couldn't help myself. The snow called to me.

[And he goes back inside like a good boy.]
