Renji, Rukia:

I ran into a bit of trouble last night. May I ask for a similar favor as last time's? If you're both too busy, I understand.

What trouble Find me as soon as you can, unless you'd rather wait for tonight.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

Are you free now? If not, I'll try to speak with you at lunch.
-Adel

[norainu]

Better sooner than later. Any conversation I'm having today can stand an interruption.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I'll stop by shortly, then. ...and it might be best to do it as early as possible, anyway. I'm afraid it might be taxing.

Adel

I hope you're learning those things I gave you last night. There might be a test.

-Ed

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

A little harsh, isn't it? I'll try to learn as much as I can anyway, however. Thank you.
-Adel

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

I learned a lot of it by being repeatedly beaten up by my sensei. A test is kind.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I've learned a great deal by being 'beaten up' in general, but I'm glad that I can get by with just a test for you.
-Adel

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Uh... you should teach me some stuff too sometime. You know some interesting fighting stuff, and it's equivalent exchange, right?

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

Me teach you? I'm... afraid that I've never taught anyone anything before. I'd be a poor teacher.
-Adel

You feeling better than you were? Or are you still moping about everything?

Cause you can keep running into trouble until the message gets through.

Hold off until tomorrow night, and then I'll be happy to show you the differences between us, and why I was in such a state last night. Not every problem can be solved by pulverizing it.
-Adel

[damnrudecock.livejournal.com]

You still don't get it, do you? I already told you, I don't give a damn about the differences. Even if there's no chance, I'm going to keep fighting.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

An admirable sentiment, but one that doesn't apply to me. What I can do can't really be written down in words; once I show you, perhaps you'll see my point of view.

Even if not, I promise not to leave you in the same state you left me. I imagine I'll have a bit more control than you did.
-Adel

[norainu]

Someone picking fights?

[damnrudecock.livejournal.com]

Because you're too special to be weaker than anyone else? I've met lots of guys like you, guys who were ready to roll over and die when they lost. I've been that way too. I ran out on my best friend who needed me, and I showed a bad back to the one kid who was fighting to keep everything together when everything was lost. All of that? That's too fucking easy to do.

Kid, you're a lot better off than you should be. You don't know a damn thing about that technique, or about what it took to learn it. Don't talk about it like it's some cheap trick, because it's not. The guy who made it put everything he had into creating it, and I risked my life to learn it.

Tomorrow night. Normally I'd just be looking forward to a good fight, but you're pissing me off.

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, Adel. Strangely, I seem to be unable to hand out such favors anymore. I'm very sorry.

-Rukia

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

...did something happen? Or should I not ask? Moreover, did this change happen recently?
-Adel

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

I don't know that it matters, as I suspect something was done to me by the people of the Institute. I noticed it last night. I hope that others have not been similarly effected.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

Last night, something happened that nullified my powers... but I've gotten it back now, I believe. I was wondering if you were suffering from something similar.
-Adel

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

Really?? Perhaps the same has happened to me. When I am able, I will test the idea and let you know. Thanks, Adel.

[norainu]

What.

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

I guess there's no point in being secretive. I tried to use kidou last night and couldn't. How about you? Orihime was fine...

[norainu]

I was fine. As was taichou as far as I could tell, and Artemis. Not like it really came up. I know other people were having problems, though.

...feeling better today?

[haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com]

Glad you're okay. I'll have to wait and see.

[Rukia has taken down the previous post describing the loss of her powers.]
