Reason: Sorry for the epically long wait of Herculean proportions! I was doing NaNoWriMo, you see.
Ichigo: Thank God-
Aizen: *gets kicked by Reason before he can say anything*
Ichigo: Thank God she tortured her OWN characters instead of us.
Reason: *glare* I don't own these ungrateful brats, nor do I WANT to own most of them. Nor do I own anything else I might reference. So don't prosecute me, Mr. von Karma!
Ichigo: Ungrateful for WHAT?
Reason: For the privilege of basking in my radiance, that's what. Our first letter is from AbaraiArekushisu.
"Kurosaki-Dare him to dye his hair black and ask him (truth) if he has a crush on ANYBODY (not just specifically Rukia)
Madarame- Ask him is he really shaven or bald, because I haven't seen him shave his head once, NOT ONCE!
Matsumoto- Is that her real eye color?
That's all. Oh, just a quick question...why do you hate Inoue-chan, she's sweet, even if she is kinda useless."
Ichigo: WHAT?
Reason: Truth or dare first, Strawberry?
Ichigo: Like hell I'll cooperate with you!
Reason: Let me phone up Byakuya, then, and discuss the fact that his sister lives in your room… in your 'dirty little closet'…How would that go for you, I wonder?
Ichigo: *pales* Umm… the dare. Wait, did you just call my closet dirty?
Reason: *tosses bottle of black hair dye* Who am I to argue with the whims of Rukia? Shoo.
*Ichigo goes off to the changing/dying stations* *A female scream erupts, followed by some random soul rushing out clutching a towel*
Reason: Dammit, I thought I had the Kusajishi Candy-and-Coffee-Fueled Eviction Service sweep that place before the show started. Of course, she's fairly erratic at the best of times. Anyway, Ikkaku, while Ichigo's turning into a REAL Deathberry, is your head seriously shaven, or are you bald? And AbaraiArekuishu, were you WATCHING him?
Ikkaku: I'm NOT BALD! PREPARE TO DIE! Extend, Hozukimaru!
Reason: You realize that I have APAP, right? All Powerful Author Powers?
Ikkaku: …And?
Reason: I can not only not die, but can turn your Zanpaku-to into a candy cane. Like so. *snaps fingers*
*Hozukimaru becomes a candy cane spear of very little lethal power*
Ikkaku: …Fine, I'm bald, okay? I got my hair scorched off by a Hollow and the follicles were wrecked. But that's kinda like shaven!
*His Zanpaku-to returns to normal*
Reason: Thanks, Ikkaku-see, that wasn't so hard, was it? It makes you sound even more macho, actually. Oh, stop sulking. Matsumoto! You're up.
Matsumoto: Hello, everyone! *makes kissy lips at the audience/rest of the cast*
Reason: Is your eye color natural?
Matsumoto: *wink* Everything about me is completely natural, Reason-chan!
Reason: …Ooookay then… Hey, I get a truth this time! That gives me warm fuzzies.
Aizen: Glad to see something does. Aside from torturing people.
Reason: You're one to talk. Look at Hinamori. So…Why do I hate Inoue-chan? *opens up a midair author-window that plays Ichigo's fight with Nnoitra*
*In window*
Inoue: Kurosaki-kun!
Kurosaki-kun!
Kurosaki-kun!
Kurosaki-kun!
Kurosaki-kun!
*Window closes*
Reason: I rest my case. *eye roll* She irks me. Especially her voice. Not to mention…Have you tasted her cooking? *shudder* I went to go interview Matsumoto for something at her place and got forced to eat dinner there. Ugh.
Aizen: Heh, I pity you. Not.
Reason: Aizen. You know, Ichigo went really pale earlier when I threatened him…Would you call that 'bone white'?
Aizen: Just where are you going with this?
Reason: Well, I thought…I might like to check by taking one of your bones and comparing it to Ichigo's afraid-face…
Ikkaku: OOOOH, creepy.
Matsumoto: Aizen, I think you've got COMPETITION…
Reason: Bite your tongue. I'm nothing like this traitorous son of an excrement-laden biscuit with delusions of godhood.
*Ichigo returns in time to hear this conversation, hair now black and awesomely-fuzzy looking*
Ichigo: …I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT GUY ANYWHERE NEAR MY FACE!
Matsumoto: That's what she said!
Reason: Look, I stole Ulquiorra's Negacion Box earlier, and I will not hesitate to use it on perverts. Now, a letter from Elise-hime once again!
"Kurosaki Ichigo - Dare: Fight Zaraki again.
Madarame Ikkaku - Dare: Visit a hair regrowth center to prove that your hair is truly "shaven"
Zaraki Kenpachi - Truth: Did you or Byakuya beat Yammy?
Kusajishi Yachiru - Dare: Act like Nanao for a chapter.
Kurotsuchi Nemu - Truth: Exactly how did Mayuri revive you after you were affected by Szayel's Gabriel technique.
Matsumoto Rangiku - Dare: Admit that you have implants."
Ichigo: Oh, no way in hell am I gonna fight that guy again!
Reason: Sorry… you don't get to choose. *throws Ichigo bodily into the underground lead-lined bunker where Zaraki awaits* I built that place as a safe fighting ground, but I dunno…Zaraki and Ichigo… That might tax its capabilities…Aizen! Seal it off with the Hogyoku!
Aizen: Yes, O Revered Mistress. Was there anything else you wanted, Great and Glorious Queen of Everything?
Reason: The saccharine is leaving acid trails in the lead, damn you. Okay…we've already established that he is not shaven… we'll have to wait on that fight…um…oh, dear. I had to dose the pink chaos vortex in question up on sugar earlier… This ought to be fun…or at least interesting… YACHIRU!
Yachiru: : Yes Ree-chan?
'Ree-chan': *decides to let it go while a sugary Yachiru is inside the expensive facility* Can you act like Nanao Ise for a little while?
Aizen: I don't think I'D be able to tame her while she's on sugar, though it does give me a great idea for wreaking my revenge on you…
Reason: What, hyping up Nel's child form AND Yachiru on Red Bull and Monster, then siccing them on me? Sorry, been done. By me, I might add. Although I didn't sic them on myself. Anyway, Yachiru…if you will…or can, at this point.
*Yachiru suddenly stiffens her spine and grabs a clipboard out of nowhere. She shuffles her hair into a reasonable imitation of Ise's haircut. Although, admittedly, still in pink.*
Yachiru: Hello, Reason-san, have you seen the Captain anywhere? I have some paperwork I really need him to do, and I heard he might be drinking with Rangiku-san.
Matsumoto: Nope, no Kyoraku here.
Reason: Wait, wait. *waves hands and Kyoraku appears* Shhh, Kyoraku-taicho, just go with it, okay?
Yachiru: Captain! *stands menacingly in front of the much taller man* I'd appreciate it if you didn't run off all the time instead of doing the things you need to! These are urgent documents from the Head Captain himself, and need your signature, but instead you go gallivanting off drinking at mid-day! Isn't it just a little early for that sort of behavior, sir?
*several seconds of awkward silence*
Reason: *blinking* Holy hippogriffs, THAT is disturbing. I'm gonna try to erase that from my mind for all eternity. Nemu! Get up here and delete that creepy little performance!
Nemu: Yes, Reason-san.
Reason: How did Mayuri revive you after Szayel's Gabriel technique?
Nemu: At the base of my neck is an organic system 'soft-reset' device. It does not affect my memory, but the soft-reset process causes some odd sounds.
Reason: How… boring, although I have to admit I'm a bit…relieved. Um…and Rangiku, you ought to stop lying.
Rangiku: How can you—
Reason: I had Aizen interrogate Gin for a while, you're not natural at all…
Matsumoto: Gin betrayed me… Again …?
Reason: Considering what Aizen did to Hinamori-fukutaicho, you might want to consider Gin lucky he's not psychologically crushed-wait, it'd be impossible to hurt that creep's brain.
Matsumoto: I suppose …Ugh… Maybe I just had… a LITTLE enhancement done…
*Haineko pops out of nowhere*
Haineko: Don't tease her, guys! An old woman like her kinda needed a bit of perking up, if you get my meaning…
Matsumoto: What d'you mean OLD WOMAN?
*Matsumoto attacks Haineko, and the two wrestle around on the floor for a while*
Reason: I'm just gonna let them fight. Okay, I'm going to end the Ichi-Zaraki fight prematurely, I think Ichigo deserves a break and we've got a question for them.
*Zaraki appears. He is bleeding across his chest and laughing hysterically. Ichigo is wearing his Hollow mask and, seeing his new surroundings, removes it.*
Reason: You're even creepier after just watching DiamondDust Rebellion and seeing what you did to Kusaka's castle, Zaraki, you know that? Anyway, did you or Byakuya actually beat Yammy?
Zaraki: Wait, why am I up here again? I was just getting started!
Reason: And Ichigo is probably extremely grateful to take a breather. So?
Zaraki: I don't know for sure, I was busy at the time, but to be honest, I'm pretty sure that it was Kuchiki who hit him last. Of course, I did all the work for him.
Reason: *rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath* Oh yeah, cause Byakuya would actually need you. Bah. Anyways-
*She is interrupted by a flock of owls pelting in the window and dropping letters*
Reason: IT'S MY HOGWARTS LETTER-whoops, sorry. No it's not, it's more dares. Coolbeans in awesomesauce!
Aizen: I'll read them, shall I? First, from Ishuri Sousuke- and, by the by, 'Sousuke' is a highly excellent name to choose-
Reason: When you're done inflating your ego…
Aizen: Fine. *ahem*
"Kurosaki Ichigo: dare-Dress up as pwetty butterfly Aizen singing about being a fairy whilst prancing around the room on a snowman (Kenpachi)
Madarame Ikkaku: truth-Ask if it's true that he wanted to become a bowling ball when he was younger, or if he was just exposed to radiation as a child.
Zaraki Kenpachi: dare-admit he can't even beat up Orihime. If he refuses, force him to fight a million weak opponents before he can fight someone powerful again. If he loses to one of them, he must dress his katana in pink
Kusajishi Yachiru: dare-Give all her candy to Hitsugaya and stop calling Kenpachi 'Ken-chan'. Instead call him God (to annoy Aizen *insert evil grin here please!*)
Kurotsuchi Nemu: truth-Does she really like her Captain (brother?)
Matsumoto Rangiku: dare-give up sake for a chapter... She won't make it.
Kuchiki Rukia: Dare-Admit any hidden feelings you have for Renji to his face in a very dramatic manner.
Reason: Ikkaku, you wanted to be a bowling ball? Cool! Quick, set up the Squad Four members and we can have a round of bowling! I call Zaraki for my team!
Ichigo: Do you even have teams in bowling?
Reason: I dunno, I'm not a bowler. I play hockey, thanks. Much more fun. And more opportunities for violence.
Hitsugaya: Actually, bowling does have teams.
Reason: Yay, Shiro-chan! When did you get here?
*Shiro-chan's eye twitches*
Hitsugaya: I came to find Matsumoto. Unfortunately, I forgot that you were here.
Reason: How sharper than a serpent's tooth. Little bully. Ichigo, with your awesome Deathberry hair, you've got to dress up as 'pwetty buttewfwy Aizen' and sing about being a fairy. Zaraki, you get to be a snowman.
Zaraki: Hell no!
Reason: It's not exactly your choice. Now you can be a real snowman. Shiro-chan, if you please!
Hitsugaya: Why?
Reason: Don't you appreciate jabs at Aizen? I mean, he almost killed Momo and all.
Hitsugaya: I see your point… Okay. Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru!
*Zaraki is suddenly covered in thick snow frozen to his clothes and light dustings across his hair and face.*
Reason: Thank you Shiro-chan! I may have to hire you as a minion! Now, Ichigo, am I going to be able to get you to put this on voluntarily?
Ichigo: I know it's futile, but what Zaraki said.
Reason: *sighs* Why are you so difficult? *waves hands and Ichigo suddenly gets forced into an eerily accurate Aizen cosplay, complete with butterfly wings.*
Aizen: Do I…Do I really look that ridiculous?
Reason: Ichigo makes things look worse than they are, but yes, as a matter of fact, you do. Prance, Ichigo!
*Fairy-Aizen-Ichigo climbs up on Snowman-Zaraki's shoulders. Zaraki begins to hop around the room, shaking the whole building, muttering 'I'm gonna kill you' under his breath, and Ichigo begins to sing…*
FA-Ichigo: I am a pwetty fairy, (I hate you)
With wings like a butterfly. (Cut it out!)
I can grant your wishes,
So children please don't cry. (Bah!)
I am a pwetty fairy,
I love all the day to fly. (What kind of line is that?)
I prance in the woods and glades
For I am a fairy spry! (Who actually says spry nowadays?)
Fairy, fairy, fairy, fairy… (I will never, ever look myself in the eye again…)
Reason: If we could get Hichigo to sing that it would be amazing, but I can tell that's not happening. IKKAKU!
Madarame: Is this another bald question?
Reason: You can read, I'm sure; you're fairly clever for an Eleventh squad member. So, did you want to be a bowling ball, or were you exposed to radiation?
Madarame: I TOLD YOU I WAS IN A FIGHT WITH A HOLLOW!
Reason: Although radiation would explain a lot…Is that eyeliner on your eyes?
Madarame: …No. Rangiku, give me that!
*Ikkaku snatches a bottle of sake away from Matsumoto and takes a huge gulp*
Reason: Good work Ikkaku! She can't have any anyway. Next up, is…How precisely do you propose for me to get Yachiru's candy away from her, pray tell? Hey Ichigo, you're freakishly fast, help me out a bit here?
Ichigo: …Immunity?
Reason: I won't call you back for a while.
Ichigo: ...Best offer I'm gonna get?
Reason: Yep.
Ichigo: Fine.
*They vanish. After about two minutes, the two return carrying large sacks of candy bigger than Yachiru herself and about the same size as Hitsugaya.*
Reason: Shiro-chan, these are for you.
Hitsugaya: I don't want them.
Reason: *eyes get big and watery* But…but…they're a present! You wouldn't be so mean to little Yachiru, would you? God only knows what she'd get up to if she came into your office and found Rangiku's sake stash…
*Hitsugaya's eyes widen and he almost desperately grabs the bags of candy away*
Reason: I knew you'd listen to Reason.
Aizen: Don't talk about yourself in the third person. Even if you are trying to make a pun.
Reason: What do you mean, trying? I succeeded, so nyeh to you.
*Yachiru bounces-literally bounces in through a window- into the room and clambers up on Kenpachi's back.*
Yachiru: God, have you seen my extra candy?
Aizen: Yes, Reason just-
Yachiru: Not YOU, Bad Man-san! I meant Kenny!
Zaraki: Er, what?
Aizen: And just how do you come to that conclusion?
Yachiru: Well, God can smite people, right? Nobody smites people better than Kenny! So Kenny must be God!
Reason: I shouldn't laugh. I should be mightily offended at the total lack of reverence. I must not…oh, hell with it. *bursts out laughing* She didn't even hear the dare, Aizen! She worked that one up for herself!
Aizen: Well… anyway, Yachiru… *tries to fiddle with his glasses, realizes he doesn't wear them anymore, and starts fiddling with his odd hair strand instead* Reason stole your candy.
Reason: I plead innocent to all charges!
Yachiru: Yeah, Ree-chan asked me if she could borrow that candy! She says she'll take me to go get snacks from Byakushie's house later!
Aizen: Are you suicidal?
Reason: The SWA does it all the time and gets away with it, why should I be any different? And now a letter from The Psychotic Cherry Blossom!
"Review: Very nice. I've read all of your stories and instead of reviewing five different times, I've decided to just review in a massive way on the last one. Broken Requiem, both the original and the re-make caught me in a way that hasn't happened for quite awhile. I read more than can be considered normal, FF, normal novels and text books, and I end up seeing a modus operandi in anything I read. These two stories on the other hand, showed a delightfully refreshing originality that I haven't seen since I read The Art Of War. Well thought out ideas posed in titilating ways can be the epitome of a good plot. Clashing Harmonies clinched into the enthusiasm of Broken Requiem smoothly and continued in an undaunting flow, which can be difficult to do. Most authors pick one huge problem and run with it. But this sequal posed entirely new problems, and did it in an easy-to-read amusing way. The Queen's Huntsman was a little hard to follow, and you didn't seem to get all of your ideas across in a flowing, clear manor. You might want to slow down just a bit and think over your concepts a bit more to make sure you have them fully developed in your mind first. However, you did get your sentiment across, and the Renji/Rukia jab was funny. Now, as for A Dose of Unreason, this is the best truth or dare story I've ever read. You aren't running all over the place with half-baked ideas and broken dialogue, which is a deffinite relief. I was almost too wary to read it. Plus, the fact that you're open about your admiration about Kuchiki Byakuya and his awesomeness but aren't a slobering, foaming at the mouth, constantly shreiking fan-girl is admirable."
Reason: That really made my day. This is flat-out the most in-depth review I've ever received, and I'm really glad you enjoyed Broken Requiem and Clashing Harmonies-and I'm glad that you think so highly of Unreason as well. Thank you so much!
"Now, as for the dares...
Kurosaki Ichigo: Dare-Go tell your father, Kurosaki Isshin, that you love him, and then engage in a father-son bonding session for three days. You cannot deny any ideas your father has, and if your sisters ask (cough-Karin-cough) what the hell is wrong with you, you have to tell them that you adore Isshin's fatherly advice and would follow his command to the ends of the Earth.
Kanpachi: Dare-Switch personalities with Yachiru.
Yachiru: Truth-Does chewing on Madarame's head make you happy? Does he taste good?
Nemu: Dare-Show expression, and then go make out with Ishida after you put on one of the frilly dresses he's made.
Matsumoto: Dare-Do all of your paperwork for the next month before the deadlines and in perfect order. No slacking or skipping.
Kuchiki Rukia: Dare-Admit any hidden feelings you have for Renji to his face in a very dramatic manner.
Kurosaki Karin: Dare-Tell off Inoue in the most heartbreaking and hilarious manner you can think of."
Aizen: She wants Kenpachi…to…switch with Yachiru? GOOD ME IN HEAVEN.
Reason: Shut up, at least she still won't have Bankai. Can you imagine? Okay, Ichigo's dare will take the longest, so first let's call good ole Isshin over to start the party.
Ichigo: PLEASE. I'll do ANYTHING, just let me PASS.
*Isshin walks in through the door, with a giant Masaki Forever poster, Karin, and Yuzu.*
Isshin: Sorry, no can do, Ichigo! You ought to stand up to your dares like a man and make Daddy proud.
Ichigo: Nooooo…
Reason: Get on with it. If you don't, Kurotsuchi Mayuri has made some very generous offers for you, Chad, Orihime, and Uryuu...
Ichigo: What? *pales* Okay…Dad… I… l… l… lo…*swallows* ILOVEYOUDAD!
Isshin: *sniff* Even under duress…It still makes me so happy to hear that, Ichigo…To celebrate, let's go and walk on our hands down the big hill outside of town!
Ichigo: *casts a fervent look at Reason, who is grinning just as evilly as Aizen is* Um…Sure, Dad! That sounds like an amazing idea!
Karin: What the hell is wrong with you, Ichigo? You're actually agreeing with Goat-chin over there?
Yuzu: Karin! That's not good language?
Karin: I don't care! Listen to him!
Ichigo: Do I really have to?
Reason: Yep-a-di-doo-da.
Ichigo: Grrr…I'm gonna kill you…
*Ichigo rolls his eyes, gets down on one knee and puts a hand on Karin's head*
Ichigo: Well, Karin…it's like this…I absolutely adore Dad's fatherly advice…he's probably the wisest man I've ever met… and I would follow his commands to the ends of the Earth and back!
*Isshin tears up*
Karin: *slaps his hand away* Which one of your creepy ghost buddies got you, Ichigo? Which one?
Ichigo: *stands back up and glances darkly at Reason* Well, she's not actually a ghost…
Reason: Semantics, good Deathberry! Hey, Karin, stick around a while, will ya? We've got a good dare for you.
Karin: Better than what those guys are doing. See ya, Yuzu. Don't bother coming back, Dad.
*Isshin spreads out the Masaki poster and falls on it sobbing*
Isshin: Why, Masaki? Why are our daughters so cold to me? Why don't they bring me their problems?
Karin: Haven't we had this discussion before? You're over 40 yet have the emotional maturity of a toddler.
*Isshin rolls the poster back up and grabs Ichigo by the collar*
Isshin: Well, at least I've reclaimed my son from the depths of delinquency and disrespect! Let's go!
*The trio leaves.*
Reason: That was so touching! I almost cried- no, wait, that was the mutilated onion I have on me to help with the big-teary-eyes trick. Now, for the purposes of this next dare, I borrowed this device from Kurotsuchi-taicho.
*She holds a little glowing blue box aloft and ricochets it off of Kenpachi to clock Yachiru in the head*
Yachiru: *from inside Kenpachi's body* Hey… Hey! I'm God now!
*Aizen bristles but doesn't speak*
Kenpachi: *From inside Yachiru's body* …The hell? Put us back!
*Yachiru screams with glee and charges through a wall, grabbing Kenny up as she goes*
Reason: *Looking after them* Okay, so in retrospect that was a really bad idea. What have we learned?
Aizen: Not to give Yachiru Kusajishi access to Zaraki Kenpachi's brute strength?
Reason: That too. Also, that cube has cable.
*The cube is playing Bleach on one of its faces*
Aizen: So you're not concerned about the fact that you just let Yachiru Kusajishi, with Zaraki's massive physical strength, get into the larger Seireitei?
Reason: It'll get put right somehow. I'm not in charge of the repairs, so I don't give a flying squirrel-like Hollow. Next on our list is-
Aizen: You're remarkably laidback about this.
Reason: *totally unfazed* And…Yachiru…isn't…here. Oh…uh-oh… Guess we're gonna have to do something about that if we want to get her truth answered.
Unknown Voice: There is no need.
Karin: What the hell was that?
Reason: Much as I disapprove of your language, I must concur!
Unknown Voice: I am the D Cube. Since I was used for a transfer of the following personalities: Yachiru Kusajishi and Kenpachi Zaraki, I have electronic records of the individual in question's personality. I can therefore answer the question.
Reason: Um, excellent.
Cube: *in Yachiru's voice* What is it, Ree-chan?
Reason: Yachiru, does chewing on Madarame's head make you happy? Does he taste good? And by the by, I just adore how that sentence is phrased. It's amazing.
Cube Yachiru: His head is really neat! It tastes all salty! Salt is really good after you've eaten a lot of sweets! And Cueball is always so angry when I do that. It's funny!
Aizen: Who'd have thought…She chews on him to relieve the excess sugar in her system…
Reason: She's getting a real salt lick for Christmas, I promise you. Now. Nemu! You're up again!
Nemu: Yes.
Reason: Now. Can. You. Say. That. With Expression~?
Nemu: *snaps a pose* Oh yeah, baby! Here I am! …Was that sufficient?
Reason: Nope, here's one of a certain Quincy's masterpieces…
*Reason waves her hands and Nemu is in one of Uryuu's special frilly lacy concoctions*
Reason: And now if you'll go indulge in some face time with your favorite Quincy…
Nemu: *grins widely* Oh yeah! He'll never know what hit him! …I will do that.
Reason: Are…Are those phrases pre-programmed?
Nemu: *shocked look* How'd ya know, man? Too good! …Yes, they are.
Reason: Uh, right. You go on then. Shiro-chan, Rangiku, you both still here?
*Hitsugaya is standing in front of Rangiku. Behind him, a large number of sake bottles have been frozen to the floor while Rangiku begs for them. He actually seems to be enjoying himself.*
Matsumoto: Please, Captain? Please?
Hitsugaya: Nope. No way. Never.
Reason: Actually, it's only for the rest of the chapter, Shiro-chan. Anyway. Rangiku, you're gonna have to do your work properly for the rest of the month!
Matsumoto: But that's a really long time!
Reason: I'll send you special sake on Christmas.
Matsumoto: Really…? Okay, that sounds really good! It's a deal!
Reason: Now, Karin, you get to tell off Inoue! Break her heart and stomp it all to dust!
Karin: Cool. Where is she?
Reason: Probably moping over Ichigo. *claps her hands and Orihime appears*
. . . BOOM . . .
*For approximately thirty minutes, Karin yells at Orihime, and as far as Reason can tell, not repeating herself once. She mentions Orihime 'throwing herself at Ichigo', being 'totally incompetent', and that everyone can 'see right through her'. By the end, Orihime is crying.*
Karin: I kinda feel bad, but she had it coming.
Reason: It's cool. She'll be fine. She always. Comes. Back. Like a weed. Anyways. I believe that wraps this episode up, right, Aizen?
Aizen: Indeed. About time, too.
Reason: So far, we're awaiting the following reports: The results of Ichigo and Isshin's father-son-bonding trip; Matsumoto's work report; And somehow, Byakuya's gluey kenseikan transmission was interrupted, it'll be here eventually. So keep a weather eye out for those reports! Now, we're awaiting the return of one Kuchiki Rukia to perform the following dares slash truths… Kuchiki Rukia: Dare-Admit any hidden feelings you have for Renji to his face in a very dramatic manner, from The Psychotic Cherry Blossom, and Kuchiki Rukia: Dare-Admit any hidden feelings you have for Renji to his face in a very dramatic manner, from Ishuri Sousuke. That's all we're waiting on! Aizen, what's our cast for next time?
Aizen: The next episode will feature the Great Espada-Gotei Thirteen Christmas Competition. There shall be eggnog, ice sculptures, and probably before the end of the evening a war will break out.
Reason: Oh yeah! Excellent! Send in ideas for contests between the Espada and Shinigami; Aizen and I will choose from the best! We already have an eggnog-drinking contest.
Aizen: For the purposes of the GEGTCC, that's pronounced Geg-ticc, like Hectic, because you're making me organize the whole thing-
Reason: You staged a coup on the whole Seireitei, are planning to destroy at the very least two worlds, and you can't plan a simple Christmas celebration? What kind of omniscient being are you? Anyway, for the GEGTCC's purposes, none of the Espada are dead.
Aizen: So please send us contest ideas. I'm fresh out.
Reason: And I have school. So! Please do review, and once again we apologize for the delay in bringing you this episode! This has been A Dose of Unreason!
The Cheshire Cat: It most certainly has.
Reason: GAH! Save me!
