We be devotin' full time to floatin'

[om_nom_namur]

Who: Spades!
Where: Aquatica Paradise
When: Nov 5- ???
What: Waterpark Paradise!
Warnings: Language, violence, UST- all the usuals
Style: Any
Status: OPEN!!!

With the nightmares finally subsided, the Spades weigh anchor at the next island. Thankfully, the entire thing is full of water parks! Your generous Commanders will find a way to work out a deal with one of the medium sized parks on the waterfront for an extended stay pass- discounted, of course, since they'll be buying in bulk, but if you want to go to the other ones you'll do it on your own coin- or have to sneak in. Make sure to read the island description, there's a TON of things to do here! Catchalls, dated threads, etc, whatever. Just jump in, have fun, and to hell with fiddly particulars. I have no idea how long we'll be here.

Pity. There's some great stuff here. [he picks up a flat stone and skips it over the surface of the water] Enjoy yourself at all?

[originaldragoon]

I will take your word for it.

[She gives a bit of a nod as she watches the rock skip along.]

I suppose. It is relaxing here.

[thatched]

What is it you do for fun anyway? [since it's about time he knew, he supposed, given everything that happened] What are your hobbies?

[originaldragoon]

[That gives her pause. What does she do for fun anyway? When was the last time she could truly say she had fun? Throughout the ages she really only concentrated on her fighting skills and her mission. For a while she did go flying with Micheal for just the sheer enjoyment of it, but he has been dead for over a thousand years.]

I do not have any hobbies really. I do like to read, though, and swimming is nice.

[thatched]

Used to like to swim. [still did only it was a little more difficult these days] What do you read? [he reads, too. Not often but he enjoys it when he does]

[originaldragoon]

Used to? [She gives him a curious look.] Are you like Ace with the whole Devil Fruit thing?

[She gives a bit of a shrug.] I like all kinds of books, but mostly I like mystery and adventure novels.

[thatched]

Aye. Unfortunately. [he misses swimming honestly] Have you ever tried astronomy?

[originaldragoon]

[She gives a bit of a nod.]

When I was younger.

[Like when she actually looked her age.]

What about you? What do you like to do for fun?

[thatched]

[he had been hoping to well, ask her to watch the stars with him. Not romantically but to try and get some closer connections perhaps-- since they were crewmates after all. Perhaps he'd find another way]

Reading, stargazing, netmaking and I dabble in poetry and cooking on occasion. Though not lately.

[thank god he got out of the galley, really. He preferred cooking as a hobby]

[originaldragoon]

[She wouldn't object to star gazing. The main reason why she got out of it was because after a few thousand years of seeing the same sky, it got boring. That wouldn't be the case in this world.

She gives a short laugh.]

Been on galley duty too much lately?

[thatched]

Haven't been for a long time. One of the perks of being a captain. [he winks] Back in the bad old days I used to make meals for my fellow commanders.

[he missed that actually. It was a pain in some ways because making food for sixteen people when most of them had the appetites of bears, and a D's appetite on top of that, took a lot of prep and planning. But the end had always been worth it]

[originaldragoon]

[She gives a bit of a nod.]

What are some of the things that you like to make?

[thatched]

[good question. He didn't particularly have a favorite]

All depends on the time of year, mostly. I like feast food, you know. Special stuff. Or really good food made fast, barbecued or tossed in a skillet. Something everyone can enjoy quickly.

[originaldragoon]

It sounds like you enjoy cooking a variety of things.

[Which is better than what she can do. Really when she cooks she only makes simple things and only to the point where they were edible.]

[thatched]

Aye. I'm handy, I have to admit. Can't do anything fancy. I should probably make a grand meal before too many of us leave.

[he hates to say the word and therefore forces himself to say it]

Any requests?

[originaldragoon]

[She shakes her head some.]

Not from me. I am far too used to eating whatever is available to me for meals.

[thatched]

Ah come now. Surely you have a favorite of something or the other.

[originaldragoon]

Not really. I like several things but I cannot say there is one thing I like better than the other.

[thatched]

Nothing gets you going? Makes you smile? [it's hard to believe, frankly. But maybe she's forgotten] Would you like to try and find out?

[originaldragoon]

[Well, a few months before she arrived in this crazy world, she actually did say she forgot how to smile. But she's gotten better since but only slightly.]

There are a few things that do make me smile now.

[She gives a bit of a shrug.]

I just have not come across any food that will do that for me.
