Sexy Spade Pirate Times. I Mean, Romance. Maybe.

[booyaka_boom]

 Who: Spade Pirates All!
 Where: Aboard The Ship, in various places.
 What: Pop up romantic dates! 
 Warnings: Depends on how saucy or not the dates get!
 Style: Whatever turns you on ;)
 Status: Open your hearts!

So Selphie has decided that there's been far too much doom and gloom around the ship lately. The kraken, Sora dead, all the problems with the curses, and then turning back again. What better way to make that better than with a little bit of romance? Selphie set to it, using her own supply of candles and flowers (admittedly rather dried up by now). One evening, dotted around the ship in several places, are pop up romantic dates. These include a couple of candles, some flowers, some chocolates, and a sandwich sliced into two (because she wasn't going to cook a whole bunch of meals)!

Who left it there? Who knows? But it definitely looks like it was put there to be enjoyed, ideally by two people. If it looks romantic, that's because it's supposed to be. So grab your nearest and dearest Spade pirate, or bring two people together, and enjoy some flirting, love, and relaxation.

As for Selphie herself, she might be A) somewhere on the ship. Perhaps you stumble across her near a pop up date, or maybe you go looking for her to drag her/invite her to join you for the evening. Or B) you spy her/find her making a massive pile of sandwiches, or sorting dead dried flowers into bouquets, using strips of her pillowcase as ribbons.

Enjoy, Spades!

What did she want? To turn you?

[reluctantjinrou]

No. She wanted to make sure I knew she was killing Tohru-chan, because I liked him better than her.

[darknessinside]

Ohhh. Well, that's...pretty awful. [Frowns.] She sounds terrible.

[reluctantjinrou]

She was definitely that. Jealous, I suppose.

[He sighs.]

It's not like I could deny it, I did like Tohru-chan better than her.

[darknessinside]

[Quirks an eyebrow, filtering that through this NEW KNOWLEDGE he has of Natsuno's type.]

Like, as in...?

[reluctantjinrou]

That's not how I meant it!

[He blushes ever so slightly and looks away. It may not be what he meant, but it's not exactly a lie either.]

[darknessinside]

[The corner of his mouth tugs up a bit, but he just grabs another chocolate instead of calling him out on that blush.]

If you say so.

[reluctantjinrou]

It isn't how I meant it when I said that.

[He sighs.]

Maybe I did but...

[There isn't much else he can say about it really. His life is far too complicated to think much about romance.]

[darknessinside]

See, now it just became a tragic Romeo & Juliet vampire love story. Except you're still here. [Pause.] And you're both guys.

[reluctantjinrou]

[He scoffs.]

Sure, Romeo and Juliet. We weren't a couple or anything, don't get the wrong idea. I can't even say if he was interested...but probably not. He talked about asking the nurse at the clinic out.

[He picks up another sandwich half.]

Yeah, here I am on a boat in the middle of nowhere...and a vampire.

[darknessinside]

No ideas, don't worry. Especially not the wrong ones. But you never know, right? Maybe he would've been into the idea.

[Leans back against the ship wall they're next to, crossing his arms behind his head.]

Anyway, as uninterested as you claim to be, you're on a ship that's basically full of guys. You could go suck on Ace some more. He's hot. ...You know. Literally.

[reluctantjinrou]

[Riku is really making it hard to be so moody.]

I'm not sure how that would translate to a favourable situation for me.

[darknessinside]

[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.]

Hmm. Maybe you should be on a manly date with him instead, then. Persuade him to return the favor.

[reluctantjinrou]

I don't think that would be taken very well with Thatch either.

[He looks thoughtful.]

Well aside from Tohru-chan the only man I've let suck on me was you.

[There's that smirk of his once more.]

[darknessinside]

Yeah, well maybe Thatch is just secretly jealous. Maybe he's the one who wants to—

[STOPS TALKING, even clamps a hand over his mouth, then speaks through it, his words muffled.]

Wow, okay, not going there.

[Lowers his hand.]

Just gonna file that away under mental images I did not need.

[Then he snorts and grins at Natsuno's second comment.]

Gosh, what an honor. Can't forget Selphie, though. So you've had some girl action after all.

[reluctantjinrou]

[Natsuno reaches over and punches his shoulder.]

What did you give me that mental image for?!

[He rolls his eyes.]

Yeah sure. It was messy and tedious. Sounds about right.

[He sighs.]

Truth be told it was terrifying being bitten again.

[darknessinside]

[Laughs.]

It was your fault! [...Somehow.] Seriously, you're a bad influence, I can't usually keep it up for this long because half this stuff goes right over Sora's head.

[Still chuckling, but he sobers up at that last thing.]

...Ah. Sorry. You really didn't have to let me do that, you know.

[reluctantjinrou]

I spent a lot of time with someone who was older than me. I'm pretty sure I heard it all. [Riku wins another chuckle. Natsuno isn't sure how he's managing to do that.]

It was fine. Necessary, even for both of you. It's hypocritical to go around biting people but not offer the same in return. It's a somewhat irrational fear. I'm not going to die from it again...so it shouldn't be a problem. Neither of you would have taken that much.

[darknessinside]

And I spend a lot of time with a guy who's younger than me and gives me this look if I tease him.

[Imitates Sora's Pouty McPouterson face for a moment, then rolls his eyes.]

But I traveled to a lot of different places and didn't always hang around the best crowd while doing so. Guess I heard a lot, too.

[Looks at Natsuno.]

I wouldn't say it's irrational, I mean it definitely makes sense that being bitten again would be scary. ...At least that's not something you'll have to go through again.

[reluctantjinrou]

[He hides a smile at that and shrugs.]

I've been teased a lot, especially by him. I won't back down from you.

As long as I'm this way, that's true. I'm not sure how my blood would fare should I get bitten. Probably not well. I have bloodlust after all, I must need it to some degree.

It was fine though. Quick, relatively painless. I didn't experience any of the dying part.

[darknessinside]

Sounds like a challenge. [Smirks.] Can't ever resist those.

[Blinks.]

Oh, well. Good. I'm glad I didn't almost accidentally start to kill you.

[reluctantjinrou]

Maybe it is a challenge. Something to keep in mind when you get bored.

[He leans back against the railing behind him, finishing the rest of the sandwich in his hand before speaking.]

I mean, if I had let someone bite me again, it would have been a problem. I don't think you can drink enough to cause that in one shot.

[darknessinside]

I'll have to build up my repertoire.

[Frowns, shifting a bit.]

No... I'm glad I don't have to do that again. Which I feel bad saying since...you're back to normal now. But I wasn't a fan.

[reluctantjinrou]

[Natsuno shrugs.]

I'm not a fan of it either. I would be fine not doing it, but some people are really tenacious.

[He's talking about you, Riku.]

You must get used to it over time...or something. Tatsumi didn't say, although when he was choking me, I kinda missed a few things.

[darknessinside]

[Flat look.]

You would not be fine not doing it. It sucks, but you have to eat.

[Then his eyes widen.]

...Geez.
