The wedding is still underway. After the classic cake-cutting and -eating scene, Shoda and Shigeko snuck off for a bit of…training? Meanwhile, Tokuzen’s daughter, Kohana dives in and wrecks the cake. Fortunately, the Drunken Brothers had a spare cake made in case of such a catastrophe. Then Taiken skillfully cut the cake with his awesome Fuuton skills. Not long after, the Hyuuga couple returned, and their first dance commenced. Currently, the reception is on their second song, being played by super awesome DJ Hinote, the Tsukikage.

But outside the land of the Naruto RPG, I’ve been doing a few things in Bleach. Most notably are the addition of two new characters to my roster: Yokoto Setsuna and Rundi. Setsuna is at E-Rank, the lowest possible, and I plan to slowly work her up to skills. Starting from Shinou Academy, she’s in the Onmitsukidou program (or Ninjagami, as I like to call them when I don’t think I can spell it). Rundi, whose surname I’m still deciding, is the Sexta (6th) Espada. I’m still working on him, which is why Kuro and I are practicing together in the Bleach Waiting Area.

Last night, I sat down and worked on a sketch for Rundi, thinking having a clear image might help me think of him and his characteristics. After spending a lot of time trying to draw in Kubo’s style and me messing it up with the final features, I got frustrated and began to draw randomly, luckily creating this image you see. It may not be the neatest or cleanest, but I like it.

Elsewhere in Bleach, Kurai got in a little scuffle with Kidou Corps chief Neriki. It didn’t last very long, but it was quite the short show. After Kurai finally passed, he checked out Karakura, only to find that any event there that he had sensed was already over. He was too late, due to the shinigami delay. So, he returned to the Kamenjin base, finding someone new inside.

In other news, the current badge battle is a Pinky Battle Royal! Not to mention, it’s being run by Dorian. I guess you can call it his first act of pinkness.

Congratulations to Dorian on becoming the next RPG mod.

We know you’ll do great. You’re an awesome RPer, one of the very best. You always have good ideas and are willing to help out. So no worries, because we all have faith in you.

Dorian tried to add his characters to the mod list, as every moderator gets to and is usually the first act of a Pinky, but there was great saving difficulty. With my internet being bad at the time (and still now, at the moment), barely enough to get on TN, Kuro kindly split the mod post between Pinkies and other mods so as to make the post smaller and easier to save.

Kuro also did some other post manipulation, allowing the Deceased/Retired and OOA lists to be on the second page. This has greatly increased loading speed. Hopefully those who have had viewing problems in the past will no longer.

So not only did the RPG get a new mod, its most popular News Thread got a bit of a makeover.

With the wedding completed, the Hyuuga couple made their way to the reception in Kankyou Town. From there, everyone ate, and even the Hokage showed up to give a toast to the new bride and groom. And it was a super awesome toast, might I add.

And a nice big welcome back to RPer Dorian (Silver Cross), who controls the Hokage and was gone for so long. We all missed you. That toast was a nice way to make an entrance back into the game.
