high_seas | A Water Park with Hammers

[Waves a hand at Luffy and forces himself to sit up as the bartender deposits their drinks in front of them.]

Maybe later.

[AKA no. 8|

Not while he's still sober, anyway.

As he picks up his mug and promptly downs half of it in one go just because fuck this place and their not real naked mermaids orz orz orz.]

[looks at Sanji with his chin resting on his hands]

We can go somewhere else if you don't like it here. [cuz it's no fun if Sanji's just gonna be annoyed]

He'll be fine. [Zoro is quite sure of it, as he downs nearly half of that glass in one go.] You got his hopes up, talking about boobs. [gives Sanji an extremely knowing look over the rim of the glass] He'll get over it.

[Glowers right back at him over the rim of his own glass, but then he winces a little because ugh chugging booze, that was dumb and not at all how his body likes to handle alcohol. Nngh. He sighs and sets the glass down heavily on the bar, then rubs at the bridge of his nose briefly before waving Luffy off again.]

Nah, I'm fine. [Glares at Zoro.] I'm over it.

[He props an elbow on the bar and rests his cheek against his hand, eyes drifting to one of those mermaid paintings.]

...I just really like boobs. [Annnd then his voice goes a bit dreamy, because it's actually quite a nice piece of art.] They're so lovely~

Mmmm. [he doesn't see why but] Zoro let's win that prize.

[cuz Sanji'd really like a thing like that. He picks up the glass and chugs it down but it's super bitter and it makes his toes curl and there are no fizzy fireworks in it but he wants to win one or maybe even two for Sanji so he works really hard on getting it all in his belly]

[leaving the cook to his daydreams for a minute, Zoro nods to Luffy and upends his glass, finishing off the rest just as quickly. The bartender looks positively aghast that they both managed the first glass and he will indeed have to fill two more]

Ahh. Not the best beer I've ever had, but not the worst. I can do two more.

[Will happily allow himself to be distracted for a few minutes by that painting, as well as the others around the room, turning in his seat to lean back against the bar as he admires them. He continues to sip at the bottom half of his drink, figuring the sooner he finishes it, the sooner he can move onto something less shitty. There's a dopey smile on his face, as per usual, since some of the paintings are rather risqué~]

Haha I guess you like this place after all, huh, Sanji? Maybe we can steal some of the paintings!

[though that gets him a glower he doesn't seem to notice]

MORE BEER AND FOOD! And this time make it a super big glass! I'm gonna beat Zoro all the way down!

[yes, cook, go and drool all you want. He's not threatened by paintings, not after yesterday's little chat. Ahem. No, Zoro is pretty much one-track-mind on the beer over here.]

No way. Bring both of mine! I'll finish 'em off so we can get the prize and then drink for real.

[Snaps out of it a bit when he hears his name.]

Eh? [Spins back around so he's facing the bar again.] Uh, yeah, it's...yeah. [SHRUG.] I guess it's alright.

[Takes another gulp of his drink, then points at Luffy.]

Next time take me somewhere that has real girls, though.

[Though his comments probably get lost beneath their shouts for more booze. He rolls his eyes, downing the rest of his glass and then snagging the bartender.]

Oi, when you're done serving the pair of idiots, get me some rum. The shitty good stuff.

[he heard it! He's just busy cramming his mouth full of two big handfuls of nachos and then draining the second beer half way before setting it down, half his face and hair covered with foam]

hahaha maybe we can just put boobs on Zoro. [he doesn't know any bars with girls in them all the time]

[he's halfway through the second glass when he hears that, and nearly chokes. No fair, Luffy! The beer needs to go down his throat, not up his nose!]

What is it with the two of you and putting boobs on me?! That's weird! You're both weird.

[hmm, that beer might be hitting him harder than he expected]

[...Haaaaa, okay well that finally has him breaking out in snickers as he nurses a new tumbler filled with rum. He gives Zoro an appraising look.]

I'm telling you, marimo-kun, there are islands we can go to and find out just how weird it is or ain't. I've heard things.

[Or seen in the journal, whatever.]

Shishishi Then he'll be an okama!

[Drains the rest of his beer]

Gimmie more! GIMMIE MORE!

NO! [points at Sanji first, then Luffy.] No. No. I'm happy with the equipment I got, I don't need to experiment.

[oh shit Luffy is ahead of him. Wait, was this a contest of speed or volume? Right, volume. But Zoro can't be left in the dust, so he finishes glass two in a massive chug and moves on to number three right away.]

[Aww......you said the 'O' word.

Sanji quite abruptly twitches so violently that his glass falls right out of his hand. He makes a quick grab for it before it hits the bar and sort of juggles it some, sloshing the rum a bit but luckily not making a huge mess, and eventually manages to get a good grip on it again only to slam it down with a fierce scowl as a shudder wracks his body.

Then he rounds on the other two, leaning forward across Zoro to get pissy at Luffy.]

Not an okama, NEVER a shitty okama, that's not what I fuckin' meant, alright?! I meant boobs, real boobs, [don't mind him, Zoro, he's just gonna smack your chest once or twice like that helps emphasize his point somehow] not any of that fake shit with the dresses and terrible makeup and no, never, NOT THAT. GOT IT?

[his eyes go wide. He must hit a nerve somehow. He didn't mean to do that]

Okay. Got it. [he wants to ask what happens if an okama joins their crew one day or if Bon-chan wants to hang out. But tonight is drinkings and fun times.] And no boobs for Zoro. [licks foam off his face]

I guess that's hard when you decide to go with a guy but it just makes it really special that you're together right?

[he likes that.]

Don't be mad...

[he has ingested enough beer that he's actually feeling pretty mellow, all things considered, and tolerates the smacking easily. When they're both done, he waves a hand gently to try to get Sanji to cool down.]

Easy there, curly-cook, I already said no. It's my body you're playing with, I get final say anyway.

[definitely touched a nerve, Luffy. Geez, who knew?]

'S just one of those things. Don't worry, Luffy.

[So long as the possible hypothetical future okama crew mate doesn't try to shove Sanji into a dress or trip him up by looking vaguely feminine, you know, from a long...long distance -- he might be just fine with them maybe! Probably. Possibly.]

The hell does that even mean, just one of those things? It ain't a thing at all, it's nothing.

[Wooooo but okay, wow, fucking calm down already, reel yourself in before they get nosy enough to actually question shit.

He squeezes his eyes shut for a beat and sits back out of Zoro's personal space, then reaches for his rum and tosses back the remainder of the glass. By the time he's gesturing for the bartender to top him off again, he's got a new cigarette out and is much less rage-y and only slightly grumble-y.]

...I ain't mad. And it ain't hard. [Rubs the back of his neck.] I know what I like. It's either women or men, not a shitty combination of the two. Liking ladies doesn't mean wanting a fuckin' fake one and liking guys doesn't make me any less of a man or mean that I wanna be a girl or some shit.

[Ah, nope, one too far. Sanji winces a bit and then slaps on a quick grin, facing the other two again.]

Hey, you know, Luffy got some action the other week.

[Hopefully that wasn't supposed to be a secret. >.>]

Sanji, did an okama try to kiss you?!

[because he doesn't see the big deal but Sanji did and maybe that's what he was so freaked out about it.]

Ahhh! NO WAIT!

[slaps a hand over Sanji's mouth before he can answer. He doesn't want to make anything worse!]

I didn't say that!

[then he hops over and presses the hat over Sanji's face as if to make him feel better and leans over to Zoro]

Maybe we should go somewhere with less boobs.

[he wants to fix the situation and if boobs started it maybe going away from them will help end it?]

It's fine, Luffy, really.

[he may not be drunk, exactly, but Zoro is feeling no pain right now. He's a little taken aback by the energy of the cook's outburst, but he can understand the sentiment. Something to file away for later. He slides a hand onto Sanji's knee under the table to try to calm him down.

Besides, he's trying to finish this beer so he can move on to something tastier, like sake or rum.]

Now what's this about getting action?

[Pales a little at the sudden question, even though it's not what happened, but it's dangerously close to asking if something did happen and that's bad enough. But he's downed enough booze by now that the alcohol-induced flush in his cheeks might hide it, plus then Luffy's covering his mouth and shoving his hat in Sanji's face anyway.

It's an excuse not to answer, at least, so he doesn't bother to, instead making an indignant sound and yanking at Luffy's wrist to make him lower the hat.]

Oi, get off! I wanna smoke!

[His twists his knee away from Zoro's hand, too, because he's fine. Mostly. In any case, he doesn't want his pissy attitude to keep bringing things down, so he shoves everything to the back of his mind and decides to stop being a grumpy shit. All the better to keep them from asking more questions.

He manages to get the hat lowered some and finds Luffy over the top of it.]

C'mon, the shitty marimo plant is curious now.

Mmmmm. [frown. But okay. He puts his hat back on his head and drops from Sanji but decides to stand between them instead because they have a lot of time to themselves and he wants to be right here. He grabs his third beer and doesn't want to lift it so sticks his lips in like a straw and slurps it up a bit, getting foam on his nose when his lips snap back into place.]

Flowers farted on me and that Draco guy and I got to taste him. But then he got scared. I like him when he's a weasel and why are blushes so interesting? It's not like when you guys blush cuz that's just funny.
