(How are you doing? How much does Father Anderson know?)
(I heard about what Aizen did to Rangiku. Has it had any positive change on her?)
(After helping Elle change back to her true form, we both needed a break from one another. I also had much to do -
1) Picking-up swords - Rangiku's dwarf-made chisa katana is beautiful. Although the sword was carefully crafted to Japanese specifications it is not an exact replicate. There are intentionally added subtle Celtic touches, the most promiment of which is the tsuba's image of a cat among chrysanthemums. This was done out of respect for both the sword and to the gods on both sides. Supposedly, masking a weapon's true origins is a grave insult to all and can sometimes even result in it becoming cursed.
After looking it over (handles wonderfully, and the inbetween length will serve the duel purpose of being both katana and wakazashi) was carefully wrapped first in white cotton cloth then gray. Simple runic seal put into place to keep it all together and prevent contamination. I can invoke the seal to open only under certain conditions - given how Rangiku is changing, I may do that to ensure the sword is used for what it's intended for.
On the way back, stopped-off in the Asian Demon District and picked-up demon-made katanas for Elle and Jan. Tsuba's image of a kirin for him, snake for her. Both are high quality and pose no danger (even to Elle in her new condition) to either from the minor demon essence contained within.
2) Preparing for a werewolf - Stocked-up both Jan's and my apartments with beef jerky along with various canned meats in assorted sizes. Got a collar with tracking device and a leash....I'm not looking forward to using either one. Also have been reading werewolf lore and found it to be almost as frustrating as vampire lore. Trying to get the general basics in order to be prepared. Have taken note of when the next full moon is and will watch Elle closely in case it's moods that trigger a shift. Hopefully Constantine can help out.
Must persuade her to come home too. Far easier to deal with this if we're living close to one another and Budd is no longer a threat.

Is any of this satisfying to you--the coming and goings? You think I'm a bitch now--just wait.

Maybe you don't know me very well after all, but I'm attempting to be decent with you and not take cheap shots.

Good, because I wasn't going to.Private//Unhackable
Did you not get that this is not going to get any easier? I don't to have our differences turn into a fucking deal
where we both get sick of it all and want to kill each other.Re: Private//Unhackable
Speaking of differences, Constantine wanted to talk to you.
Private//Unhackable
No leash. No collar.
...I know. We are going to talk. There are several things I'd like to say to him. Don't change the subject.
Re: Private//Unhackable
The collar was for tracking purposes. The leash would be a last resort if I had to get you somewhere safe in a hurry. But since have no idea how to easily 'bell' a wolf, probably will never use them. Maybe the food will be enough incentive for the wolf to trust me.
If you're going to hit him, wait until after getting the helpful tips.
Private//Unhackable
The problem is that with the collar, I'd have to wear it as a person for the caution of changing at the drop of a hat. I'm not doing that.
Bastard could use a few knocks around to begin with to get him talking. Nothing too bad. I am capable of being gentle, you know.
Re: Private//Unhackable
Besides following, I don't know of any other way of keeping track of your wolf if she goes wild.
