OCTOBER SURPRISE You're doing it wrong.

...me alone...no...no...help..." Ichigo heard Rukia let out a small shriek, Ichigo then walked toward his closet, opened it, and saw Rukia sitting up, sweating a storm, breathing hard, wide-eyed. "Are you ok?" Ichigo asked. vicious_lullaby : Rukia shook her head, "Yeah, I'm fine...it's just..." Ichigo sat next to her, "You want to talk about it?" he asked. "I don't want to bother you..."...

quick note: I've removed about the least-used 10-20% of tags (literally by usage level). I give it five minutes until you bastards use them all up again ;) am very busy at the moment, so squint and pretend this is an hilarious goth macro: [ 8 ...] bonus points for guessing what it is/says.

... And this is why I have a tendency to leave the radio on, even when the vast majority of American music makes me want to gouge my eardrums out with a rusted spork.

...Fear of God, that stops everyone from even trying? I once knew a man who conquered that fear... who wasn't afraid to work towards his goal. Was he really the only one in this universe to have that courage? Or perhaps, all of this is a farce. Maybe none of you are really alive here but merely images this hell has produced for me. My own personal hell. It does sound sort of lovely, doesn't it?

... [The sounds of something large and flapping-- and barking ?-- comes in through the window.] Ah. Yes, it does appear to be closing. The portal. We'll have to... All right. Do you have to bring the dog, Ishiah? Oh, it's still- [Click.] [/Voice Post | | Accidentally Posted To Journal With Phone] [ooc And it's off to NYC.
