FLOOR RULES

1. For the sake of not being anti-social, showers are forbidden between the hours of midnight and six am.

2. Other activities forbidden during these hours include using the hand-dryer (use a towel), blow-drying your hair (yes, Orihime, it looks lovely, but you still have eighteen hours a day free for blow-drying), loud phone conversations (Rukia, this means you. Aren't you and Renji capable of being civil to each other? I thought you were supposed to be friends), and playing the trumpet. (Are you just doing this to annoy me, Ichigo?)

3. If you're going to cook curry or fish, at least have the decency to light the odour-eliminating candle I bought for precisely this purpose for at least fifteen minutes afterwards. It's next to the microwave.

4. Speaking of the microwave, PLEASE cover any food you put in it before you heat it up. I don't want to have to spend the entire year scraping crusty food off the roof of it.

5. Ichigo is not allowed near matches. End of discussion.

6. Weapons are not to be left in the communal areas. If I walk into the kitchen and find Zangetsu, Sode no Shirayuki or any fairies sitting by the sink, they're going straight into the skip on the building site up the road. I will not be arrested for harbouring swords or breaking the laws of physics.

7. Just generally tidy up after yourself in the communal areas and you won't incur my wrath.

I reserve the right to add to this list as I see fit. -Uryu Ishida

Dramatic as always, Uryu. -Chad

Hey, genius. How the hell am I supposed to light one of your pansy-ass candles if I'm not allowed near matches? Would you rather I used Getsuga Tensho? Actually, I wonder if that would work... -Ichigo

Rukia, if Ichigo has trouble lighting the candles with only the power of his tiny little mind, would you mind doing that for him? And preferably not with kido... -Uryu Ishida

~~Not a problem. Hey, Ichigo, could you show me how matches work? - Rukia~~

NOPE. I'll show you myself when you get back from your lecture later. -Uryu Ishida

*Hello everybody! To celebrate moving into this corridor, I decided to make cookies for everybody! The plate is on the communal dining table. Don't worry, Uryu, I remembered to use the candle after I cooked them! Unfortunately, I kind of forgot I had left the candle burning so I'm afraid it's burned out, so you're going to have to buy a new one. I'm so sorry! -Orihime xx*

(Sigh) That's all right, Orihime. Thank you for the cookies. They look delicious. -Uryu Ishida

Hey, is nobody alarmed about the fact that Orihime used the curry-and-fish candle after having made cookies? -Ichigo
