Entry tags:
"To" is for "tough," Captain
Who: Motochika, his motley crew, and anyone else who wants to come gawk
Where: Isla Empieza, the shipyard
When: October 16, evening
What: The captain's finally bought his boat and while he really would be content to just stare at it a while, he'd rather show it off to his crew.
Warnings: Excessive dumbassery?
Style: Anything goes, I'm using [brackets]
Status: Open!
[Motochika considers the majestic caravel he's spent all of his money and an undisclosed amount of money that he's borrowed and stolen (but never begged!) over the past week or so on with no small amount of pride. She isn't what he's accustomed to and she'll never hold a candle to his beautiful Fugaku, but she's a beautiful thing nevertheless. He's spent the day hard at work getting things just how he wants them and all in all he's quite pleased with how it's turned out. The only worry now is his crew.
He has barely enough to man this ship and he knows it and that's assuming they all show up. He's sure he can make up for the lack of manpower and experience himself, but he doesn't know quite what to expect when they actually make it out to sea. He heaves a heavy sigh and scratches at his head. This is all turning out to be a fine mess.
He's tried to let them all know to meet up at around this time, giving them the day to go about their business, but they don't seem the most reliable bunch. He misses his loyal crew back home, always hanging on his every word and calling out his name with worshipful zeal. He'll whip this crew into shape as best he can, but they don't really seem to be the devoted and hero worshipping type...]
MOTOCHIKA! MOTOCHIKA! [Pi-chan squawks out his name as he makes his way down from his perch on the ship to his usual spot on Motochika's shoulder. Motochika chuckles to himself and scratches the parrot under the chin.]
At least someone here looks up to me.

Motochika, thank you very much. Is there some curse on this island that prevents people from using a man's proper name? [Pi-chan offers a helpful Motochika! possibly trying to cement his place as first mate on this ship of fools.] If the parrot can manage it, so can you lot.
[Pi-chan gives Gintoki a smug, superior look at that.]
no subject
he leans in, looking at the parrot - he doesn't like that smug look on him]
Ohh! Good to see you brought some emergency food!!
no subject
This would be Pi-chan and unless one of you lot shows some skill other than running off at the mouth, he's first mate of the ship. Count yourself lucky that he takes his payment in peanuts, otherwise he'd get a bigger share of our treasure than you.
[Pi-chan preens his feathers and gloats.]
no subject
Noooo problem!! I'll make sure to take proper care of Pee-chan!!
[hm? does the name sound different? anyway-]
So, Boss, where are we heading out to first? Fighting pirates? Getting treasure? Finding some chocolate parfaits?
no subject
no subject
Anyway, who are we sailing with?
no subject
no subject
L-Luffy? Strawhat-wearing Luffy, right?
[more to himself than to Moechika]
Ah, what the hell, is this some sort of test?
no subject
[He can think of any number of reasons why Gintoki would be reluctant to sail with Luffy. He has quite a list himself.]
no subject
[does he look nervous? a little. not so much over luffy, tho, who Gintoki knows is pretty chill.]
No, no, no, I have no problem with him. It's the people who don't like him and their stupid powers that worry me.
[haaa he can't help but wonder which kinda enemies came here with luffy. gintama is definitely not that overpowered of a manga!! how is he supposed to deal with those monsters???]
no subject
[Motochika crosses his arms and looks at Gintoki expectantly. Pi-chan mirrors the look for good measure.]
no subject
No, no, he's just... the kind of guy really powerful dicks wanna go after, you know?
