Not bad so far with the reviews. Really appreciate them since they are rather important to this story. And thank you, 0oNinja Dragon Queen o0 for the plain review. Here is the next post though. Don't panic. This doesn't mean that you won't get to keep responding to the first post. Here's the deal. I'm posting the zanpakuto's wielder's response to the want ads. However, it won't be signed by name, so you still get a chance to figure out who it is. The third installment will have that answer.
That however does not mean that the fun will end though. As you send me reviews with your guesses and replies, I will post those and a response for every character that I have received a guess for so far. You can keep replying to any of the posts until I announce that the submissions are completed on the description for this story.
I also will do some creative interpretation and include create zanpakutos for characters who have not had their sword revealed yet, not to be cruel, but because some of them are very interesting to write.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. With the replies and guesses? Just because someone currently has that particular zanpakuto does not mean that they will get to keep it. If I get enough replies, guesses, or simply out and out requests for one character to get the sword by the end of the story. They will.
Metaphysically impossible, maybe. But I've never seen a zanpakuto write either. And that is the point of want ads after all. So if you want another shinigami, Quincy, vizard, arrankar, or just one of Ichigo's classmates (sorry, no Bount- have not seen that arc) to have the zanpakuto, well you have to review to try. They can even reply just to tell the sword that they are not interested.
A final chapter will be posted as an epilogue to show the characters and their responses to their zanpakutos, new or otherwise.
Hope that makes it more interesting. I am going to modify the chapter titles so as this gets longer, just let me know which chapter's post you are replying to.
So, the outcomes (and chapter lengths) are up to you. So, onto the fun.
In response to your ad, I am intrigued by your offer. I have been traveling quite a bit recently and am in the process of changing positions. I am willing to move as far as it takes to do so. I like to think that I am tolerant of others and their views, but for this to work, you must be tolerant of me and my theological position and be willing to commit to this for the long term. However, I think you will meet those standards nicely and look forward to having a sword who is able to help me with my goals. Interests include long walks, playing games, and creating poetic wall scrolls using traditional proverbs.
Okay, that was the wielder's response.
So far, you have guessed: Aizen and, maybe Gin. (I-Like-WAFFLES and Tomas Hydraxus)
Okay, well, one of those guesses was the current owner of the sword. So, to be fair, I really have posted his reply. But, that still leaves your other guess. Let's read shall we?
Your offer sounds really interesting. I don't mind traveling and it wouldn't be the first time that I have switched positions. Ambitious enough. I have a short attention span and get bored easily, but if I want to focus on something, I will worm around until I get what I want. I think a sense of humor and a great love for life is important too. You can always find something to smile about. Not impressed by people who are willing to give an arm and a leg for things. If my favorite food is involved though, I may consider it.
So, there are my replies for those guesses. Onto the next ad!
I respect people who can keep themselves pulled together, even when everything has fallen apart. Extremely collected but also very adept at multitasking. I will cover just about any job I can that you ask. Don't think I'm a pushover though. I expect my wielder to treat me like royalty. A bit traditional and old-fashioned, but I am not going to bend on that point. Through trips to the living world, have developed a keen interest in botany and playing Para Para Paradise. Want someone who shares these interests and can keep up to me when running.
