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.

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.
