Open RP -- Rukia skips rocks

[kuchiki.livejournal.com]

Rukia didn't often go down to the river except when she needed to bathe, but today was an exception. The little shinigami was desperately bored, and she'd ultimately taken to skipping rocks on the water's surface, and watching the ducks scatter when one got too close (she actually tried not to aim for the ducks and for the most part she succeeded, but occasionally, one went astray).

What was frustrating was the way some rocks skipped gracefully across the water, some skipped one or two times and then stopped and some fell into the water with a plunk almost as soon as they left her hand. Rukia was sure there had to be a trick to it. She just wished she knew what...

((Anyone who wants to come talk to her, give her pointers, feed the ducks, etc., is welcome. :D))

"That," Rukia said to Lilly in a very dry tone of voice, "is precisely what I'm saying."

She turned to Una and nodded a little. "It's possible," she conceded. "Around here, anything's possible. The real question is, is it likely?"

"Absent any proof one way or the other, it seems to me that any option is equally likely," Una said. "They could be turning into ducks. They could simply be going back to wherever they came from, picking up where they left off. Or they could be simply vanishing into thin air. Without further evidence, we can't do more than speculate."

"That's true," Rukia confessed. She bit down on her lip. "What do you make of th reappeances?" She was asking both of them, and indicated it by glancing back and forth between Una and Lilly.

"Reappearances? I've only just recently gotten my head around the disappearances; I wasn't aware that there were reappearances."

"I on the other hand didn't even know there were disappearances," Lilly said.


((Onf. I'm so sorry. Last final was today, and I have a sneaking suspicion I didn't do well, so spent the majority of the day simultaneously freaking out and celebrating))

"I see. I do hate to be the bearer of..." Rukia paused. Was this good or bad news? She went with, "...confusing news. But there have been disappearances for a while. And recently, people have started reappearing as well. As far as I know, always by the moat."

((*hugs!* Maybe you did better than you thought? D: Congrats on finals being over, though!))

Lilly took a few seconds to think about this and then asked, "do any of the reappearing people remember disappearing?"

((I ended up getting an 81% on the final which is all right, I guess, even though it dropped my final percent by about three or four points. To a 96%. I'm such a worrier over nothing. XD))

"You mean, of what it was like when they disappeared?" Rukia asked. She shook her head. "To the best of my knowledge, no."

((Awww! Sorry about the final. At least 96% is still an A? XD And er, sorry I took so long replying. >< LJ decided to quit emailing me and I forgot to check forever...))
