[He's done the best he can to make the post anonymous. Which doesn't mean it's entirely safe, but...]

Ichimaru Gin - is this man currently in Death City, and if so, is he partnered with someone.

[He isn't so sure he wants to see Gin, or be found by him. Not quite yet, anyway. That means stearing clear of anyone at all from his world, but asking about any of the others would make it too clear who is asking. It's easy enough to keep out of the way of anyone else, but Gin always manages to sneak up on him all too easily...]

[Can I just say shit to both of these things.]

Does that matter? I knew him before.

[Matsumoto why you do this, already getting nervous...]

[conduit]

[ SAY NO TO RANGIKU, IZURU... ]

Yes. It matters to me. How did you know him?

[moralizes]

[He can't handle this, hasn't he fought her enough...she could keep it a secret, right? As long as she doesn't get drunk? Maybe?]

Matsumoto-fukutaichou, it's Kira.

[conduit]

[ WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT IS THIS PLOT TWIST

some serious jerry springer shit okay?! Rangiku has to sit down to respond to the news properly! ]

...WHAT?! I thought you were gone forever!! It's really you, is it?! How do I know that you aren't an impostor! [ Time for a pop quiz, Kira |: ]

[moralizes]

Would you like me to switch over to the video option? I'm not an imposter, I have no idea who would care to impersonate me.

[conduit]

Yes. Please switch to video option.

I'm sure many would want to impersonate you. If you really are you.

[video!!]

[moralizes]

I really don't see why someone would impersonate me...

[video!!]

[conduit]

Because you're a handsome young man! [ And now she waves. ]

Hiiii Izuru!

[video!!]

[moralizes]

Wh-- I'm really not...! You always need to embarrass me, don't you...

[video!!]

[conduit]

Yes! You are! You are quite handsome! [ Just like your taichou! ] And it's not embarrassing if it's a compliment! [ Rangiku: Has no shame. ]

[video!!]

[moralizes]

[if snakes are your thing, sure]

Yes, it is embarrassing! Even if somehow you truly believe that, there's certainly no one else who does!

[Not Hinamori, anyway, sob...]

[video!!]

[conduit]

[Free drinks are Rangiku's thing]

How is it embarrassing? I'm not babytalking you or anything. I'm sure there are plenty of girls that find you cute!

[ YES HINAMORI IS INCLUDED... SHE LIKES YOU TOO!! ]

[video]

[moralizes]

[oh, right, carry on then]

It's embarrassing because...well, just because it is! How is this topic ever anything but embarrassing? I couldn't understand it if someone...had an...interest in me...but it doesn't matter anyway...

[He trails off because he doesn't want to say it, but the reason would be his thing for Hinamori.]

[conduit]

[ She sighs. ]

You need to look good to get people to have an interest in you! And you need confidence too! If you acknowledge you're hot, others will find you hot!

[ ...QUIETLY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE NON-SUSPICIOUS ELLIPSES. ]

[moralizes]

Would that not be considered shallow? I don't see it as a good reason. The predominant factor should be personality.

[Which, obviously he thinks his is no good. Especially because uwoo he tried to kill Hinamori?! (using uwo outside of umineko context like a champ)

What he really wants to know is why this is the conversation..... At least it's not in-person for her to stick his face in her boobs again... :|]

[conduit]

Rough love tip number one, Izuru! No girl is going to want to look past the appearance if you don't put effort and confidence into yourself. I mean, I could stop shaving my legs, but then no guy would ever want to get to know me because I don't take care of myself and that'd mean that I'd have no one to buy me drinks but you. And that's terrible.

[ MORAL OF THE STORY: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF OR RANGIKUWILL MOOCH OFF OF YOU.

oh yeah huh you tried to kill the girl you like. that does sort of wreck your chances. ]

[moralizes]

W-well of course, but that is something you should do more for yourself than to impress others. You have to take care of yourself and not be a slob for your own purposes.

[Don't make him buy you drinks when he doesn't even want to go drinking.......

Oh no, don't say that..!!]

[conduit]

But people are attracted to those who care about themselves. You have to take care of yourself, have pride in yourself and love yourself before you can love others!

[ BUY HER DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINKS. or else more of these boring lectures will ensue. ]

[moralizes]

You see, you've just said it, I'm none of those things, so...

[conduit]

Nuh uh! You are some of those things! You're a lot of those things! [ She beams with positivity. ]

[moralizes]

I don't 'love' or 'have pride' in myself.

[conduit]

And just why not...? [ THIS IS GOING TO BE CHANGED.

IMMEDIATELY! ]

[moralizes]

It would be too difficult to give you a particular reason. I know you would deny it even if I did.

[go awaaaaay]

[conduit]

Well, of course I'd deny anything that's not true! I really like you, Izuru~!

[ She beams. ]

[moralizes]

I- ...I'm glad. There's no doubt you are one of the best people I know.
