wild and hopeful hypothesising

Not a bad day; got some useful work done, and the crossmapping cycle is almost about to hit the next step, which means that I can get off the helpdesk and back to crossmapping again. Which will be very good.

On the other hand, I have yet again managed to open my mouth and insert my foot, as some of my coworkers want me to write a murder game for them. Hm.

Today's chapter of Bleach was (from the spoilers so far, at least) very promising. And the absence of a particular character from a group shot has led me to certain thoughts, ( which I will put behind this cut so as not to spoil for people. )

And which may well turn out to be totally inaccurate. Ah well.

Requested Topic: Oooh ... Ritsu from Cent Demons and Gin from Bleach, please. (Or Aizen, or someone else. It's the -- almost diametrically opposite constructions of the supernatural here ... )
Due to http://incandescens.livejournal.com/622248.html

Ritsu had grown used to the intrusions of youkai on his daily life, and did his best to get them out of the way as smoothly and rapidly as possible. Simple avoidance usually made matters worse. Running away only attracted attention; and, too often, excited hunger.

However, sometimes the shortest distance between two points involved a very long detour round someone who just shouted trouble to every instinct that Ritsu possessed. Keeping his head down and his behaviour inconspicuous was simple common sense.

It wasn't the black robes. It wasn't even the white hair.

It was the hungry, hungry smile.
