Curiosity Killed the Cat

Satisfaction Brought it Back [independent Lisa Yadomaru blog]

“Alright, alright… I get it. Old habits die hard, that’s all. Now can you stop sitting on my desk? It’s not a chair.” Sometimes she wondered if she would ever get used to the feeling of wearing Nanao’s old badge. Who knew. “Anyway. Christmas plans. And no skimpy outfits.”

“What if I get off and you just go ahead and do the paperwork anyways instead of leaving it alone?” Lisa surreptitiously slides off the corner anyways. She really should count her questionably lucky stars more often that Fujiwara is about as touchy-feely as Lisa herself is. “Christmas plans? Uhh... hot cocoa? Put some mistletoe up and bring a pretty girl? I hadn’t really thought about it. What do ya’ usually do?”

kakeruketsui:

“… Well it’s not like you made me do it or anything.” Old Fujiwara would’ve gotten snippy by now. Doing good. “But okay, fine. I won’t touch them. Just was getting on top of all the paperwork, we–this Division always used to fall so far behind and the workload would pile up…”

This captain business is hard. Lisa has literally no idea what she’s doing. 

“Yeah, that sounds about right.” Goddammit, Kyoraku. “Like I said, don’t worry about it. Most of this paperwork is just gonna sit on somebody’s desk for days anyways, nobody’s gonna notice if they’re a few hours late.” 

Kyoraku never really bothered Lisa about paperwork. Mostly because he knew she never wanted to be bothered. She pressed him from time to time, but it wasn’t in Lisa’s nature to be pushy about that kind of trivial shit. 

“You’re a vice-captain. Yer subordinates look to you for strength. Things probably don’t feel that different for you, ‘cuz you only went up the ranks a couple of levels. So since you’ve got the experience already, you can take yer time and stay at top shape.”

kakeruketsui:

“Look, as much as you think you can sway me by sitting there in your weird… too short kosode–crop top. I’m not impressed.”

“Well put, kid. You sure told me and also my crop top for some reason.” Still not moving, though. 

“Look, let’s just get this outta the way- its troublesome t’ have a lieutenant that doesn’t know her limits. Not only are you just making work harder for yourself, but also I got enough on my plate without being ‘that captain that makes her second-in-command work herself into a fugue state’. I could care less whether these three files get in perfectly on time, so you should take advantage of that an’ use it bide your energy for when you have more important shit to be doing, ‘cuz you’re not much good for anything right now.”

kakeruketsui:

“Truly you’re a gem of humor in this dour world. Get off those.”

“Thanks but also nah, I’m good here.”

[drinkofiron-blog]

kakeruketsui:

“The ones you just sat on.”

Well, you’ve got her there. 

“But, tragically, I’m sitting here now. Paperwork is canceled.”

[drinkofiron-blog]

Nothing if not willing to jeopardize another person’s integrity, Lisa often fake-flirted with Kyoraku or pretended to be having a relationship with him, much to his chagrin. 

This, in addition to being something of a power move for Lisa herself, had an additional plus for her role as a lieutenant. By making her squad question whether or not she actually had a relationship with her captain, Lisa gave the illusion of being very close to Kyoraku and keeping secrets with him, when the truth of the matter was even as captain and lieutenant they often kept secrets from each other and were out of sync. 

Lisa, of course, never had any feelings more significant than respect for her former captain. Though pretending that she did often caused vexation in people in her social life who knew that Lisa didn’t pursue men. Which is just how Lisa likes it.

Get your ass in bed lieutenant wtf,,,,,

“Look…… there are like. Three more reports to file. Three.”

[drinkofiron-blog]

Sits on her desk.

“What reports?”

[inspirenjional-blog]

Soooooo, some interesting changes coming up,,,

To whom it may concern, school is taking up like one million percent of my concentration right now. I have a fairly demanding class load and internship, plus my mental health and home situation has been kind of #tense for reasons I don’t feel like extrapolating on. 

As a result- all my blogs are going private !! Not just because of my hectic life, but also because my vision for my portrayals of Renji, Shuuhei, Rukia and Lisa have kind of gone off the rails in such a specific way that I’m more interesting in following those developments with a more intimate group of people. I don’t think I’m being dramatic, either, when I say my portrayals aren’t for everyone and I don’t expect every person to want to share my ideas or headcanons. 

Basically I’m going to be all around narrowing my activity on here. I’m also going to be unfollowing a lot of people very liberally in order focus on creating an environment conducive to my own progress. If you think I unfollowed you by accident you’re free to approach me about it, but I can’t guarantee a response. This really is a case-by-case basis sort of situation.

I’m going to throw this post around a few times in case folks miss any info they wanna see.

“Well… you can’t just take a vacation in the middle of… whatever happens in those meetings.” 

Not gonna lie, though; ignoring the other captains fighting or whatever sounds a lot better these days. Is it just him, or have the captains gotten a lot more prickly over the years?

He’s one to talk.

“Y’ don’t have to tell me that. Kyoraku’s worse than the old man like that — he talks a lot to say just a little.”

[drinkofiron-blog]

“Kyoraku has never said a single thing worth listening to, in a meeting or otherwise. Not that most of the others are any more fascinating for healthy discussion.”

There’s no crime against having a reserved opinion on most of your new peers. Yet, anyways. It’s still a little too obvious that she’s Odd One Out, even with the New Captain Kuchiki. One of these things is not like the others~

Eyes hidden behind thick lenses flick towards Kensei, scanning him up and down. She sees- she thinks that he looks happier here.

“I mean-” Lisa’s brows knit. “Maybe this is a stupid question, cuz’ I’m still baby captain, and you’re like a dinosaur. But do you wonder if they have all these meetings and stuff t’ intentionally waste our time?”

[drinkofiron-blog]

Rests head on her shoulder, whining softly.

They take her by surprise, and in that one instant of unexpected contact on her body and sound in her ears. Lisa feels a shiver run up and down her back with a hollow echo like the chiming of bells. And for one fleeting moment, her own inner likeness coils up inside her soul. Her white hand gropes in the darkness, hovering between a soft palm and thin fingers to narrow claws. 

Of course Lisa doesn’t have anything to worry about. It was hard (not impossible) to make Nothing break her own aloof character, even with some familial moping. 

Of course Lisa combed her fingers over Principal’s neck, finding a place rife with plumage and stroking them in a manner she hoped was soothing. Honestly, Lisa was not cuddly. She was not warm. Sometimes she wasn’t even nice, so it was a mystery what kept bringing Rose’s hollow to her for companionship. 

She was here. That was something. She was here and a friend. Someone had to take care of them, and a friend was best.

Yellow eyes glint through the dark slot of a face with no features. Just gold and bone and always watching. Lisa’s hand runs circles around Principal’s back narrow back, over the bumps of their spine, and Nothing flits in close enough. Close enough to hear Principal’s sad song, to hear even the blood being pushed through their veins. They are the sound, she is the echo.

“Dunno what to tell you, Lisa.”

Look. If he isn’t able to continue wearing his shihakusho in ‘deep vee’ fashion anymore thanks to the obscenity of a number, he doesn’t have a whole lot of sympathy for anyone else’s ‘appropriate or not appropriate’ plights.

“Why’ld you want to bring ‘em anyway? Then you’ll just… associate your favorite busty blondes with Kurotsuchi and Kenpachi arguing.

[drinkofiron-blog]

She had half-expected him to not even participate, but it seems that Kensei was actually willing to put up with her nonsense. Score one for Lisa.

“Don’t you talk about my busty blondes that way. They’re like a mental vacation away from all that bullshit.”

A moment is taken to adjust her glasses on the bridge of a broad nose. “Besides, I already know how those meetings work. Half of them are just dusty formalities and listenin’ to fossils who love the sound of their own voice go on and on. Always seemed much more important when I was hiding in the ceiling rafters.” Is that a note of pride in her voice? No, you were probably imagining it.

“They didn’t even let me bring my magazine int’ the captains’ meeting.”

Truly, there is no rest for the wicked. Not that you could even tell if Lisa was actually upset or not, given her usual perfect deadpan.

“Can you imagine? Me without my swimsuit mags? That’d be like you without your tats. Or Shinji without his teeth. Or Rose without... that thing his hair does. The wavy thing!”

 GET A LOAD OF THAT FRIEND

   They’re already racing over, all long legs and joyous squawking. Lisa’s hair is 100% going to be nibbled and preened on. Love this friend, this is a good friend. Their chitters are soft when near, having a conversation only they could understand.

[drinkofiron-blog]

Oh fuck there they go! A hundred-and-some pounds of gangly limbs and overzealous enthusiasm. 

Lisa doesn’t let her face betray that she’s pleased to see them. A loose hollow was always mischief, but they were more than bearable company compared to her. Nothing never wanted to socialize or do just about anything pleasant. 

“Hey, bud.” Lisa scratches the avian.... being under their chin and tries to direct that beak away from her braid. “If yer looking for treats, I’m not hiding any in there.

[drinkofiron-blog]

Lisa has mild claustrophobia, tracing back to her death as a teenager. She has developed ways to cope and work around it- for example. she’s used to sneaking and squeezing into tight spaces to spy on people. Restraints don’t unnerve her as long as she remembers to stay calm. The key is for Lisa to stay focused and not think about her fear.

However, she does not like small rooms. Low ceilings and narrow hallways can make her anxious, as does being underground. She also doesn’t like being inside for long periods of time, and can get edgy when she has to be indoors all day.
