Yeah, maybe, but I am. I'm a Nobody though. It's kind of complicated really. Sora lost his heart and then I appeared. I just kinda showed up one day just over a year ago in Twilight Town. Sora's fifteen if that helps you. I think.

Marco hides a small laugh mentally as he watches her work, fully aware that at least she'll be able to read his mind.

Go Leanne, go.

[Luka frowned a bit. Wow, he really was skittish, wasn't he?]

Yeah, I am. Sorry about that... thought we might as well look the part, you know?

[streetferret]

[If anything, Mako's more confused now than before. But he didn't become a detective by missing the details. Sora, whoever that is, is the age Mako had guessed, Twilight Town's where he showed up. Like the Empieza from the sound of it.]

Nnnnot really. [But he's not going to pry further into that, not when it's that complicated.]

But now's your chance to be in a party instead of just watching one. [He's not one to talk, but Mako says it with a casual shrug as he looks at the crew that are participating.]

[heartismyown]

[It's probably the best decision really.]

Maybe. I like watching people though. It looks like they're all having fun.

[He smiles and shrugs.]

I used to watch people a lot at home after work.

[allendsmeat]

Oh. [frowns but doesn't really feel the pokes and jabs too much. Instead rubs his eyes and stares at the ball] Should I really be awake? [idly scratches his butt]

[allendsmeat]

Wah! [shock!] Woah that is so cool! I didn't know you could do that! [and then in a hushed awed voice] Can I touch it?

[allendsmeat]

[snorts and rolls over onto her feet. May also drool on them a little]

[allendsmeat]

[CRASHES INTO THE SHORT CONGA LINE FROM BEHIND!]

LET'S DO IT!

[fierybluebird]

Do what?

[allendsmeat]

I thought we were gonna dance in a line!

[pushes and shoves at Marco's shoulders] Come on! Come on! [push push push]

[fierybluebird]

[Grumbles about the Will of the D and mouths "HELP ME" to Ikki.]

[allendsmeat]

[blinks at that and comes over to Ace]

Did you touch her butt? [or worse] Were you gonna try to taste her tongue?

[allendsmeat]

Yo! Robin! [waves at her and comes up to her] Wanna dance?

[hoodwinking]

[Unfortunately, some casualties from the home team were expected. B.B. figured that hey, they'd understand. It was a close space and in the excitement with all of the bodies everywhere, it was hard to keep track of who was friend or foe. Especially if she's never seen them before!

Regardless, it was surprising to hear someone yelling back at her. Must be a pirate since they're hesitating to attack her back now that her identity's been exposed. Which prompts her response, in a tone that's not nearly as pleasant as it usually is.]

I'm sorry, did you forget we're in a battle?! It's your own fault, asshole!

[hoodwinking]

[It's the complete opposite of what Bonnie cares about, sadly. Knowing how most enemies worked, they were a little less willing to cooperate unless they've been captured. She's not looking to kill everyone, but anyone that stopped breathing during the skirmish?

Well, that's just how it was. They were too weak to work fighting pirates if they'd die that easily. Hearing someone speak to her, her foot on an officer's throat, she shrugged her shoulders.]

Oh, I can't promise that. If they get in my way, they're practically begging me to kill them!

[hoodwinking]

With all these people around?! 'Course you should be awake! You're a hazard!

[allendsmeat]

So what? [picks his nose] Oh you're that girl from that night, huh.

[hoodwinking]

So what?! Don't you care about-- [Wait. That night? What is he-- oh.]

Oh. Oh! You're that guy with the bad dreams, right?

[allendsmeat]

Yeah! But I haven't had one in a while. [grins] I'm Luffy.

[hoodwinking]

...Bonnie. Obviously not. Your dreams must be great if you're falling asleep in a place like this.

[allendsmeat]

It's pretty boring. I don't even wanna flick snot at people anymore. [plus his nose is pretty dry so] What are you doing?

[song_princess]

She smiles bashfully as a higher ranking officer takes her hand to kiss it. They chatted up a little before she rewards his bravery by giving a curtsey and let's him escort her to the dance floor. She goes to lean against his arm as the approached the dance floor, giving him quite the shy and bashful smile.

Yes,c dance with long enough to learn all of your secrets and plan, brave human. All of your thoughts, plans and secrets are now hers and hers alone.

[hoodwinking]

You must not be invited to many parties. [Not that... she particularly was either.]

Um... well, I'm talking to people! I'm conversing and having a good time. [And not dancing.]

[allendsmeat]

I've been in lots of parties. But they're fun with bonfires and dancing and drinking and singing. [not just dancing together and talking] Who are you talking to? Anyone interesting?
