CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT

These curses do come in handy from time to time... To think, I didn't even need to actually purchase any chocolates. Not that is should deter anyone, mind you~

(ooc: canon mates, people she has talked too, people who gave her some chocolate on the curse day, and if some complete strangers want some chocolate from a cat, more than welcome to have her give some, since she got quite a hoard on the curse day)

You see~ it is pretty simple.

You've got chocolate, city.

And I've got claws.

Claws that I am not afraid to use, and don't think you can outrun me. Feel free to try, for a good chase and chocolate, well, that is even better. So if you want to keep your face as it is, you'll just hand over your chocolate and you can be on your merry way... Otherwise...

Father. I had not thought of him in ages.

... The Shihouin name was always of importance to my father, for one needed to act in accordance with one's station he said, or rather reminded me of that whenever he got the chance. After all, it was my duty and my privileged to be from one of the four noble families? He never approved of my nonchalant way of getting people to address me, for to him the -hime or -sama were always supposed to be there. To simply be called my name was a foreign concept to him. After all, was I not to be the generational head of our family, and the first (and possibly last) female to hold such a title? It wasn't that he was a cruel man, but he always had that aristocratic manner, even outside the public eye. I guess the earliest memory I have is the feeling of watchful eyes, the hard stern voice of reprimand, and the need always for formal clothes.

He died though, many years ago now, and that is probably a good thing. He never knew what happened. Has it truly been that long since I last thought of him?

Another year older, and yes, another year wiser, as the saying goes. And before you ask, it is still impolite to ask a lady her age, though I suppose if you feel the urge, you can guess. I hope you have your own health in mind when you do question such things though, or else you might not like the consequences.

That, too, includes any remarks about my thighs. ~~Yumichika.~~

Oh~ and the perfect resolution; wear less clothing. Just for you, Ichigo.

I suppose I should say Happy Birthday to you too~ though considering this city will place me back right where I was when I left. A drink to your honour, or was it several drinks to your honour last night, even if it is a bit coloured and questionable...

36

It's amazing what a hundred years, or so, can do to a person, especially once you stop the rigorous routine you were on for the longest time. Then again, running around like that had its drawbacks despite its gains. If you thought I was fast before, well, you've another thing coming now.

A pity little Byakuya isn't here, or Kisuke, though I guess I can play compare and contrast with some others. After all, I said I wouldn't get offended, and I'll keep my word, but I did also say I would be getting even...

35

2008-12-18T19:22:46Z

That took about six days too many, though it seems that the city has finally straightened itself out. No more brains, hmm? Though everyone was a bit too slow for that...

That leaves one important pressing question now; what's your flavour~?

Tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine.

34 [voice]

2008-12-08T06:04:02Z

No need to thank me.

And I'll refrain for the moment for kicking you for not taking me with you last night. ... I brought all eight of them here along with the new 'gigai' you were working on. Now get on with it. With the best solution to the worst solution that you'd thought of since you first heard about this from Hirako.

[A moment of silence]

You're one to talk.

[A longer silence, before a small 'feh' noise was heard.]

Don't worry about me. I'll escape somehow.

2008-11-22T04:19:37Z

Reasons to be ever so thankful in this city~

A friendly little bug for all to share... After all, there is no better way to show another person that you care than by sneezing and hacking all over them. Manners, it appears, are lacking in some.
Removal of my favourite thing~ milk. A day, yes, but a full day without it. I'd have preferred the clothes to have been taken, but I guess the city knows that such things are not my favourite... Although I guess it was kind of the city to give it all back once the day ended... although a day without milk... Water really doesn't have quite the same thirst quenching properties that milk does; nor tea, juice, sake, 'soft drinks', coffee, Red Bull, or any thing else.
Ichy little red spots. And before anyone says anything about cleanliness, as I do care about that, just not as much as some pompous people, I've learned that they can be spread through contact~ Think you can hide? Then by all means, say something~

You'll find that once more Urahara Kisuke's name has appeared in the hall of the missing.

Pumpkin carving. What fun, though I do wonder what I should carve into my pumpkin. Choices choices. Somehow a headless peacock just doesn't seem enough. Some ketchup for blood? Ghosts, goblins and faces, no? At least from what I've heard and heard. :< would be a pretty good imitation of Ichigo, and Halloween is supposed to be scary.

Too bad about yesterday's curse, for I heard this little saying sometime after the curse had ended. Truth, dare, double dare, promise to repeat, though the curse probably just worked with the first two, but I'll keep that in mind for next time. Of course, you could always dare someone to repeat what you said...

Teaching~! Perhaps it's time we moved past ~~tag~~ 'Track and Field'. I never did ask. How did yours fight, Yumichika?

Everybody wants to be a cat~♪

By now, I am sure you have all realize being a cat isn't quite as easy as one might think. Unlike some, I am finding today's curse quite amusing.

29

2008-09-30T22:28:56Z

The nose knows, or at least it is willing to tell, today.

I wonder who is cursed today, and are you going to hide? I suppose it would be a bit too much if both Byakuya and Yumichika were cursed, but a girl can wish, can't she? Then again, some people really aren't all that good at lying to begin with, nose or not. Right, ~~Strawberry~~ ~~Firecrotch~~ Ichigo~

(Filtered to Allied Shinigami / viewable to Ichigo)

I'm sure you've noticed one and two, but don't forget about three... Dumb as an ox, but just as strong, relatively speaking.

Dresses? Can't say they are really my thing, let alone yellow ones with black poofy things...

Though this? Feh. If I didn't know better, I'd assume someone went a bit crazy with the glue, but I do know better.

Very amusing city...

(ooc: generic~ has Luna's human yellow dress or Luna's moon)

27

2008-09-07T17:59:01Z

Well now, what is this?

If someone was trying to get on my good side, I'll admit that they are doing a very good job of it today. A little milk, even in shake form, does a body good. I suggest some people take advantage of it... though if you haven't beat me in a hundred years, I think it will take at least another hundred before you even come close.

26

2008-09-01T05:20:06Z

Little Byakuya,
Always put to shame,
If only he drank milk,
He'd be ahead of my game.

Without milk,
where would we be,
brittle bones
and little speed~

Pipping hot
or refeshingly cold,
put in a cup,
or a circular bowl~

. . .

Well. I'm no Shunsui, nor do I think I should quit my day job... ~~assuming I had one~~ though I suppose all those wasteful days cooped inside learning proper prose haven't all poofed away. Then again, I'm sure my sensei would cringe...

And so another month comes and goes, heralding in the end of the summer season. Fall, so it goes in the human world, is just around the corner. Despite the pretty colours, can't say I'm too fond of it.

25

2008-08-17T02:51:56Z

I hardly find it surprising that I can't find Omaeda around. Then again, I don't exactly know, let alone care, where all the food stands are. Better to let him stay there and keep out of my hair, literally, than suffer with his increasing ineptitude. A person of breeding should have better manners.

A pity money can't buy everything.

Soifon on the other hand. I expect better of my vice...

(So, what if Yoruichi never left Soul Society and instead the obligations of nobility side won out. I'd expect she'd become rather jaded over the years~)

24

2008-08-13T23:32:06Z

I do hope no one was too put out by yesterday.

Unshackled, and free. Just the way I like it, or so I shall say, since cuffs should usually go on just one person's hands. I must admit not being able to do everything I wanted to was a bit troublesome, though overall, I rather enjoyed my day.

Kinky indeed, to steal the words of my fellow friend yesterday. Until the next time we can play games, amazing Ayame~ A pleasure.

Not still sulking are you, Yumichika? Stress really won't do anything nice for your looks... After all, my opinion doesn't matter at all according to your own words, does it? Hideous, horrific... You should have added horrendous too. A nice ring to it, those three h's.

Maybe I'll look around and see who else can be added to my little list~ though of course, that might mean someone drops from second even lower...

23

2008-07-26T21:01:43Z

Snow.

Wet snow.

Cold snow.

Slushy snow.

Falling snow.

Drifting snow.

Snow.

I liked the naked curse better. Feh.
Hn, and your hat's back, so come get her, Kisuke.

22 [voice]

2008-07-16T19:14:49Z

Oh~ The city has been so amusing these last few days. Master this, and Master that. Feh. Try Mistress next time.

And cats? Let me tell you a few things about cats.

Cats do as they please.

Cats don't need collars.

Cats don't need leashes.

Cats don't need to be in a designated free zone to be running around your city.

No matter what people in the City say, try that again, and next time I won't keep the claws in.

21 [voice]

2008-07-03T18:51:28Z

I assume we are all back to normal now... though perhaps being a child was an improvement for some, especially when the threat of telling someone's grandfather was enough to make one almost behave.

Speaking of which... Byakuya. I left a present in front of your door. Enjoy ♥

Gather around~
A little story in light of yesterdays events, or consider it a word of warning. Despite popular belief, strangling black cats, or even black cat demons, is very risky for your health. Especially when said cat demon can skin you alive, slowly and painfully, with one claw... Of course, if you are still interested, that is your own problem. Cats have nine lives. Humans have one.

Yumichika~ I suppose I can say you know how to show a lady a good time... Not bad, for a pup.

(ooc: a whole bunch of hair ties, just for Bya >:D Kitty will be napping in Kisuke's shop today. Bratty kids are brats)

Hn. So it seems it is true, unless the Hall of the Missing can be tampered with.

Aizen has lost another arrancar. I'd almost say one for one ratio, though it seems more like two for him and one for us.

I'll be out for a time.

The letter is on the table, Kisuke, if she needs a physical copy.

Character Reference for Urahara Kisuke

Could you find someone better for the job? Possibly, though you can also find someone a lot worse.

I would state that the carefree casual man with his annoying hat is all a guise, though it's not. Many faces, many masks, and have fun trying to sort them out. Having been his superior officer and later a fellow Captain, a position which I recommended him for, Kisuke is passionate about the things that he finds passion in, and tends to go overboard with his eagerness.

Despite the sloppy attire and sarcastic tone in his voice, when he is serious, he is serious. He acts for the greater good, although the manner in which he goes about this might not always be understood, even by those closest to him. He is clever, versatile and intelligent, though also blunt, persistent and sometime unsympathetic.

Yet, when the situation calls for a steadfast and serious attitude, there is no one I would rather have at my back then him. You could do worse than to place your trust in his hands.

New place. Old problems. Though I am still required to wear clothing. Clothing free is the way to be, and there isn't an inch of fat on me where there isn't meant to be.

Somehow, I'm not surprised that Yumichika was breathless at my naked flesh~ I'm not the Goddess of Flash for no reason. Always one step ahead...

I hear you are opening a movie shop, Inoue, Tatsuki. Zombie movies, was it? I've never seen one. Perhaps I will need to drop in.

2008-06-13T20:08:59Z

Friday the 13th?

Well, for those of you who are superstitious, here is some advice.

Shall I say beware of little black cats that might cross your path...? Of course, it is not a well known fact, but giving an offering of milk to said black cat will ward off any ill effects~

2008-06-10T01:32:23Z

I must admit, bird watching turned out to be more fun than I ever imagined.
Too bad the bird wasn't much of a challenge in the end. Though I believe my point was proven. Still think I am fat, little Peacock~?
Though now it does leave the question, what other birds should I be looking out for...

Perhaps gardening.
I wonder how hard strawberries are to grow...

In other news, have you heard, Kisuke? Apparently you aren't rugged enough. Too soft, though I do beg to differ.

Kuukaku. Soifon. Ladies night out?

16

2008-06-03T05:35:27Z

Since I have so much time on my dear little hands, I decided to start a club~

Of course, anyone is welcome to join, so long as you meet the one requirement.

YORUICHI'S BIRD WATCHING CLUB

Of course, I already have my first prey bird chosen to watch...
A peacock. Proud. Noble. Arrogant and Slow. Tail feathers that one simply must pluck and in fact, I encourage just such a thing...

15

2008-05-29T21:06:19Z

Well. Yesterday was quite, shall we say, revealing?

Ichigo, if you're still interested in some chocolate... and I must give my regards to Uryuu. The curls added that little bit of something extra to Kon's dress.

Oh, and Byakuya. You really could use some more sunlight... I thought your face was pale, though it seems I was mistaken, at least when compared with something else.

Though when all is said and done, some things really didn't need to be shared.

Makes one wonder just what the city has in store for us next...
