valmoraTitle: En Tricotant (While Knitting)
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: none, really, but involves Aizen and Gin
Disclaimer: Do not belong to me but to KT.
Notes: Based on a decision by myself and Gali to write a number of geography- and time-period-based snippets. This one is Revolutionary-era France. Also, any errors in my French are of course due to my own idiocy with the language and corrections are more than welcome.
Also, I have taken some liberties and made a leap of logic that the Gotei-13 are specific to Japanese islands and that other cultures have their own distinct versions of shinigami. This is backed by no canonical evidence of which I am aware.
Summary: Gin is in Paris. In 1794.
Gin doesn't know why he's here, just that he is, and Aizen-taichou's here too, so it really doesn't matter. It's supposed to be a meeting with the French shinigami, who don't call themselves shinigami, but it sounds like gibberish to Gin so he calls them 'shinigami' anyway. Aizen called him, somewhat sarcastically, a master of international diplomacy, which is probably true. Well, as true as the idea that Gin cares about international diplomacy.
Which probably explains why he is sitting next to the skinny-stick moms in the front row of what Aizen-taichou told him to just call "Revolution Square" without bothering to attempt to pronounce "Place de la Révolution" (he would probably mangle it horribly and doubtless offend someone in the audience and then be beheaded, which would damage the gigai and make Urahara-taichou a little angry). They are knitting. He finds this slightly disturbing, because this means they aren't paying attention when people are getting beheaded, and that's the best part, though it would be much more fun with a zanpakutou, since steel rusts when you get it bloody.

So they actually did knit? I thought Dickens made that up. >___< We supposedly learned about the French Revolution last year, but I found it boring, which shows how much we were actually taught about it, heh.

Date: 2006-04-29 02:44 pm (UTC)but that's ok because now i can imagine gin and aizen sitting in rocking chairs in an 18th century log cabin next to a window. naturally, they're wearing lovely shawls and knitting potholders and socks for all of their childrensies.

So they have a primitive log cabin in Hueco Mundo where they're giving little socks to all the Arrancars? XD
