Twenty-two stabs

[joyinthefight]

...Tha dates changed. Again. All I did was chase after somethin' interestin' through a cave. Yeah was down there fer a while, havin' fun, but didn't think it was this long.

December. Don't got a clue how it's December already. Dates don't matter all tha' much, but dunno how time passes so quick. Guess it's nice tha' there ain't much sittin' 'round ta do here.

If anyone's interested, there ain't much eatin' on these guys, but there're a few o' 'em in tha cave, an' tha adults 're fun. Don't wanna take too many out, wanna make sure there're plenty fer tha future.

Heh. Guess tha only good tha' came o' this is tha' I prolly missed an event 'r five. Most o' 'em ain't been bad, but tha less tha' hit, tha better.

Guess it's time fer presents already, an' I ain't got Ayasegawa ta help this time... don't wanna get 'Chiru candy, 'cause she's got a lot o' it already. Anyone got any ideas?

Only those tha' 're afraid o' death can be manipulated like tha'. Gin. Tousen. Ya. Not Ukitake, 'r Kyouraku, 'r me, 'r likely Unohana. Not Ayasegawa, 'r Yachiru, 'r Madarame, 'r Abarai, 'r Iba. I taught 'em. They know wha' loyalty is.

He tries ta interfere wi' me all tha time. Don't pay much heed but he gets in tha way sometimes.

Righ'. Ain't 'bout ta believe tha'.

Anyone can be manipulated. And why would I be afraid of death? I've recorded it so much, it seems like it can be interesting. And congratulations on sharing your delusions with a group of fools?

Why would he even bother with you? Even he should be able to tell that any effort would be wasted.

It doesn't matter to me what you believe.

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

Ya hide so much, figured ya might wanna avoid it. An' yeah, anyone can be manipulated, but there's a limit. Group o' fools? Heh. Easy ta call foolish wha' ya don't understand.

He can order tha gate closed so captains ain't able ta go mess wi' Hollows. Ya should know tha'.

So why do ya even argue wi' me if nothin' I say 'r believe matters ta ya? 'r is it tha' ya just like bein' show ta be foolish?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Of course I want to avoid it. That doesn't mean I'm bothered by the idea. And any belief in limits isn't to be trusted. There's no reason to understand a delusion like that.

He can't do that for long. Not without risking too much damage to the human world.

Why do you argue with me?

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

Then yer better'n Tousen. But ya still don't understand people. Prolly 'cause ya don't really live.

Can limit tha openin'.

'cause it's fun ta see how closed yer eyes 're ta reality when yer so wrapped up in chemicals an' vials.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I understand what's interesting to me. I'm content with that life.

Yes, but it's still less effective.

And you're blind and enjoying your fighting, getting wrapped up in blood and entrails. At least I spend my time on something productive.

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

Small minds 're easily content, tha' sort o' thing?

We know tha'. He don't.

Nah, my eyes 're open. I'm willin' ta give near everythin' a shot, an' then I decide wha's worth my time an' wha' ain't.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Nothing like that.

I never said he was competent.

Oh, you should try being a research subject then, if you're so open minded.

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

Pretty close ta tha'.

Neither did I.

Open ta doin'. Not bein' done ta. Ya even try ta use me an' ya'll regret it. Though ya won't have much time ta regret in.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Of course you'd think so.

...The thought of you trying to dissect something properly is almost worth testing itself.

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

O' course. It's me speakin' after all.

I know how ta make a cut. Can show ya. Can show ya on ya, even. Ain't picky 'bout where on ya, either.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I've noticed.

Unlike you, I'm careful about where I plan my scars. I can perform my own surgeries myself.

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yer smart enough ta figure tha' one out.

Just offerin'. An' tha offer ain't gonna go away. Heh.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

I have no interest in your offer. And that isn't going to change either.

[joyinthefight.livejournal.com]

Heh. Too easy, sometimes.

We'll see. Ya said ya were wonderin' if I could do a dissection. Maybe ya'll get curious 'bout wha' else I can do. I can always hope. An' keep tha blade polished.
