Gin Ichimaru

I'm sure you're all greatly relieved to know that I survived that heinous ordeal in the engine room, all thanks to my daring rescue team. ♥ Though perhaps in future we should treat all engine difficulties as possible hauntings and perform regular exorcisms. I'm sure I could find some willing volunteers for the task.

You were the one in charge of investigating Morris' death, weren't you, Miss Grants? I have some questions~

[Filtered to Aizen | Unhackable]

I would promise you a report by tomorrow morning, but you see I have this inexplicable ache in my wrists.

Perhaps you'll settle for a verbal recounting at a later date?

[Filtered to Kira | Unhackable]

My hero~♥

Well this is quite an inconvenience, isn't it? So if rumour is true, it seems he have quite the vengeful ghost in our engine, although I do wonder...

Morris's death was an accident...or was it? I find it hard to believe that the ghost of a man who'd simply tripped and fallen to his death, no matter how messy it may have been, would be quite this furious. It makes you wonder exactly what he's trying to get revenge for. Perhaps it's time for all of us to reconsider the circumstances of that little 'accident' and contemplate the possibility that not only do we have one very unpleasant ghost haunting our corridors, but also a murderer in our midst.

Just a cheerful little thought to keep you all warm at night~♥

But while these speculations are all very fascinating, it seems we have need to rid ourselves of this problematic poltergeist, and if I can loan the ears of our Captain and Officers, perhaps they would be interested in hearing a suggestion?

Our ghost seems to have been lashing out at every member of the crew, but if it's true that Morris's death was something other than accidental, perhaps all he really wants is revenge on the person responsible for his death. In that case, why don't we give it to him? He doesn't seem to be a particularly intelligent ghost. I imagine we could just pick anyone at all to go in there and confess to the crime in order to lure him out of hiding, and then I'm sure with the combined efforts of a a few of our more magically inclined crew members we should be able to find some means of either capturing or exorcising him.

Naturally, the person we choose to be our murderer will be in a very dangerous position. Our avenging spirit seems to be quite powerful, after all, and being the one who proposed the idea there really is only one clear course of action.

I volunteer for the role myself.

[There is a fierce, angry hiss of radio static that at first seems like it might be a problem with the journal signal, but after a moment there's the sound of what should be very familiar to many; the metallic crash and squeal of machinery on the warpath, and to anyone who's made assumptions on where Gin is, they'll figure out it's not his journal that's gone nuts but the radio equipment. To anyone listening carefully, the static is eerily full of sounds that might be voices or screaming, but it's difficult to make out over the sounds of a struggle.

It ends with the very resolute slamming of a door, and the only sound is Gin who's a little out of breath and clearly still not at his best. His voice is a muttered undertone, almost too quiet to make out.]

Why now, of all times...

[Abrupt switching to Text]

Our little epidemic has reached the Radio Room. I'm afraid calling for assistance is out the question unless anyone can get a journal signal to carry to the nearest town.

Now is there any place on this boat that's not full of things trying to kill us?

[/Filter]

[As an unpleasant side-effect of his 'illness', whenever Gin exerts himself a little too hard his hearing starts to fade out, which is terribly inconvenient when one is trapped on a ship full of homicidal machinery. Anyone running into him is welcome to notice he's acting a bit odd. He can lip read a little, but he can't hear audio posts or things creeping up behind him, so if you do so, be ready to dodge. X3]

While I understand holidays are always a very exciting occasion, perhaps whoever's making all that ruckus down on the lower decks could cease and desist. It's rather ruining the mood.

My thanks for all the kind gifts. So nice to know not all of you are taking those ridiculous accusations to heart. I hope all of you manage to find your lost items, and that the perpetrator is appropriately punished.


[OOC: Because Gin's senses are still a little off-kilter, he can't actually tell what the deal with the engine room is - such as who, what, or even precisely where it's happening - only that it's annoying. Also, his Lunasa gift list is here. Enjoy!]

[Gin still sounds a little haggard, but anyone who came to visit him will note that it's an improvement]

You know I'm really quite amazed at the number of visitors I've received over the last twenty-four hours when I'm quite sure my last communication invited nothing of the sort. Either I'm given to understand that you're all terribly concerned about my health, or you all really have nothing better to do. In either case, I would like to extend a personal thank you to those who felt the need to invade my quarters. I'll be quite sure to pay you back for your kindness.

Toph-chan, my door could use a bit of your tender love and care.

[Locked to Toph | Unhackable]

Also, I have a little question for you about this earthbending of yours.

[Very painfully written text | Locked to Toshirou Hijikata | Unhackable]

Major? A word.


[OOC: So everyone who dropped by in Gin's log? Is going to find themselves on the wrong end of some very bad luck some time in the near future. Important items getting lost or breaking down, being made to work double or triple shifts, that sort of thing. Nothing too lethal because he's not quite at his best, but some petty retribution to make himself feel better. The only people getting spared are Kira and Tear (she brought him tea~♥). The rest of you are on his blacklist. Yes, even you, Shinji, even though he'll be hard pressed to think of something more he could do to you.]

[At a generous estimate, this probably comes about two hours after Gin really should have been on duty]

[And his door is barricaded. You'd have to be pretty damn determined to get in.]

(Pre-dated before the races, soon after this log.)

Could one of the Doctors please report to the top deck to help me with an incoming patient? Shinjiro Aragaki was wounded in a skirmish on the outskirts of town and requires immediate attention.

[Filtered to Cirucci | Unhackable]

Well, admittedly that wasn't a bad little performance, Cirucci-dear. At least, right up until the end there. Were my eyes playing tricks or did I see you falter for just a moment?

Now, should I be leaving you to the tender mercies of our doctors, or would you prefer me to ask Izuru to take care of those unsightly bruises of yours? We can't have Cirucci looking less than her best now, can we?

[At the same time as this log and Ichigo's sudden power burst]

Seems there's some kind of radio interference going on, everyone. Don't worry, I'll be sure to have the problem sorted out shortly. In the mean time, just stay put. It's possible someone's trying to hack our communications to pull us out of position.

[Locked to Aizen | Unhackable]

Before you ask, I'm sure there's a good explanation for this.

[/Filter]


[No, there isn't any actual interference unless you count Gin's own. He's crossing wires with the Silvana's communication lines to keep people from being able to respond to the incident in the hanger very quickly. You owe him, Luppi-chan.]

Luppi-chan~? I hope you're not busy. I have a little chore for you.

[Locked to Shinjiro | Unhackable]

I went and found us a nice little sparring ground...that is, unless you've changed your mind?

[Locked to Cirucci | Unhackable]

Keep your afternoon free, Cirucci-darling. I'm going to need your assistance later. You're ready to put on a convincing show, aren't you?

OH EDGEWORTH~?

I just wanted you to know that, having seen the flight records of your pilots, I can safely say we have a little girl on board who'll be happy to show them how pilots really should fly. I'll be sure to introduce you after she wins so you can all be properly humiliated.

[Filtered to the Silvana | Insultingly easy to Hack]

I believe in you, Sara-chan~♥

Since it's been a long while since I've done one; relationship meme time! Post with your character and I'll tell you Gin's thoughts on them or, if they haven't met, what he'd likely think about them if they did.

Seems like we just missed quite a show.

[Filtered to Alex, Agrais, Aizen and all members of the Bellcius mission | Unhackable]

Something you forgot to tell us, Captain?

Well that was a wonderful little detour, but isn't it nice to be all back together? Incidentally, I have souvenirs~♥ Sara-chan, I hope you didn't think I forgot about your birthday. I know you said you didn't want anything, but little Emily's dress was looking just a bit worn around the seams and I thought she might like a new one. Don't worry, I'm quite sure it'll fit. I'm quite good a judging a girl's sizes with just my eyes.

John, I owe you my gratitude for taking care of our post during my absence. I have a little something for you that's probably best given in person. Naturally, since you've been taking all our shifts I'll be happy to return the favour for the next few days. I imagine you'd appreciate a short break, hm?

And Toph-chan, I got you the friend you always wanted. I'll leave it outside your door, hm? Try not to step on it.

Now I believe someone promised me Persimmon cookies~

[Filtered to Alex | Unhackable]

Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate on the mission, Captain. It was quite a unique challenge. I haven't had one of those in a while. I'll be happy to be of service to you again.

[Filtered to Bangladesh and Madarame | Unhackable]

So was it as dull for you as it was for me?

[Filtered to Kira | Unhackable]

Izuru, I think you and I need to have a word about your performance.

[/Filters]

[OOC: You got a pet rock, Toph. Gin drew a little foxy smile on it, not that she'll be able to tell. It's actually a stone taken from a mana-crystal vein so it does have small traces of magic in it. He's curious to see if she'll take him up on his suggestion. Also, Rangiku, you were deliberately snubbed in the gifts department. He's pretending to forget you on purpose.]

Now just remember, everyone...

Shinjiro-kun threw the first stone, figuratively speaking. Let's make sure the nice Quatermaster knows, hm?

To whoever left the tea and cakes on my bedside table,

While I very much appreciate the gesture, I'm usually just as easily pleased by a more traditional form of gratitude...one that doesn't involve breaking into my room without permission.

I'd prefer it if you'd confess so I can return the favor, but if not, don't worry...I'll find you, and I'll be perfectly happy to indulge whatever game you like.

Also my bruise is fine. I thought you'd all like to know~♥

[Filtered to Kira | Unhackable]

Izuru~♥

Ignore the Captain's orders. We're staing in town tonight.

[Filtered to Aizen | Very, Very Unhackable]

Have the details of this new mission filtered back to you yet?

[There's a distant, wispy shuffling sound of Gin moving around in his room; currently he's checking himself out in the mirror.]

Well that's not good. It left a mark after all. Can't have that now, can we?

[The noise of someone moving closer to the journal, and when Gin speaks again it's directed towards the device rather than just to himself.]

Izuru, you still have that spell for getting rid of bruises, don't you? I might need to borrow just a little of your time.

[Filtered to Cirucci | Unhackable]

Cirucci-dear, don't you owe me a report by now? You're not slacking off, are you? If you need more to do I'm sure I can find a few more little chores to add to your list.

[Filtered to Aizen | Unhackable]

I was thinking of going out tonight on that little errand of yours~♥ I don't suppose you could ensure that I'm seen walking about the ship just so no one starts to get worried and wonders about where I've gone? I’d hate to trouble anyone, after all.

[[OOC: If you've seen Gin within the last twenty four hours you'd have noticed it looks like he's been punched rather righteously in the face. Feel free to mock his pain.]

I'm ever so dissapointed. You left without even a word of goodbye. And here I thought we were close, Joshua-kun.

By the way, how's your Cellar doing? Is it just as nice as you remembr it?

Well as nice as our fluffy friends are, I think it's about time we gave them an invitation to elsewhere. Not to worry, I have a nice, safe place for them to dissapear to. If everyone would kindly start herding them towards the mid-aft deck I'll make sure they're taken care of.

[Locked to Kira]

I set up a magical portal on the doorway of Storeroom Four. If you can extract yourself from the fuzzballs could you go and 'assist' the creatures in making their way to their new home? I'm not exactly sure if they'll all fit but at least we'll be able to rid ourselves of a fair portion.
