To whom it may concern,

It is my duty to advise you that Abarai Renji fell in battle as of last night. In light of this news, Arts and Crafts will not be convening as normal; however, I will ask that three volunteers offer to perform our usual duties of tending to those who have been taken to the second floor for testing. Please post your names here if you are willing to undertake this task.

For all other members, you are free to do as you wish tonight, or as you must.

Fowl, we will need to meet tonight. Bring Abarai-fukutaichou's possessions, including his uniform. I do not anticipate it will take long.

Lucivar, we need to meet first thing tonight. Abarai-fukutaichou had a special request for you.

Thank you,
Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro, 10th Division
Leader of Arts and Crafts

...He fell? You mean he--?

I'm...sorry.

I'm going upstairs to take care of the ones who will be taken tonight, like I promised before, even though I'm not part of your club.

Be careful, Ritsuka.

I knew I felt something strange last night.

[thecamellia.livejournal.com]

Ritsuka-san? Would you prefer to go together? I'll also help.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

Raine and I are coming with you and Soubi. We'll meet at your room, okay?

I doubt there's any use in trying to put you off the idea?
At the very least, come find one of us or wait until we get to your room tonight. It's important. And doesn't involve tying you to anything.

I see. Thank you for telling us. I didn't think someone like him could die...

Taicho... we should...

Are we going to be paying our respects?

[whiteychan.livejournal.com]

I think we should.

I have his uniform. He shouldn't be buried within the walls.

[braidless.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

You knew him. If you wish to join us tonight, you are welcome to.

If you need any help tonight, or need another volunteer for anything, I'm willing.

I'm sorry. He seemed like a good guy.

[notmyfather.livejournal.com]

How?

[whiteychan.livejournal.com]

He fell against a score of nurses, protecting humans. The way any shinigami would want to go.

[jurisfictional.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.
