Masquerade Ball - Totally not an ambush
Who: Anyone going to the Corsair Island Masquerade Ball!
Where: ...IDK?
When: April 26th - 27th (Early AM)
What: The Masquerade Ball + Ambush (12am)
Warnings: D for dancing, V for violence, A for Ace, L for Luffy
Style: Action or prose.
Status: Open to anyone attending!
There are going to be two main threads. One for the ball itself and the other for the Ambush! There will be an obligatory third thread for FASHION. Just remember to tag your muse in the subject header and OTA or 'Closed to ???' as you comment.

OTA
no subject
[Suicidal?]
[For another person perhaps, but with Marco, he's testing Thatch's haki too.]
no subject
Hey, sweetheart.
[why, yes, he is sounding casual about this. It's possible you won't notice]
no subject
[Marco notices and burst out laughing before giving Thatch a hug.]
Sorry, eh. Couldn't resist.
no subject
[ruffles Marco's hair before going back and folding his arms. He should probably say something more than that, though and absently chews on a toothpick he got from one of the bacon wrapped things]
Enjoying yourself?
no subject
Aye.
[Grins.] I'm surprised you're not dancing or surrounded by a dozen ladies, eh. [Aha, that could also be it.]

[and this was neither. He had to work. To mark. To spy. To try not to think of the inevitable fallout and idea that kids were kids and that in the end, maybe you could only trust your nakama.
The sudden thought makes a edged smile cross his face before he can contain it and he tries to calm himself somewhat]
You sure you wouldn't prefer to hang out at the after party?
no subject
I will.
But you better not get so caught up in work, eh? It's a party. Enjoy yourself.
no subject
[he wants to hold onto the darkness as long as he can. Moreover he needs to do this. He needs to work. He doesn't have his division here and he needs to make this as seamless as possible with Ace behind the charge. Anyway, he's not interested in enjoying himself with the navy.]
1/2
[Something is definitely wrong.]
Outside. Now.
2/2
no subject
I'm fine. [but he shoved his hands in his pockets and went out anyway because otherwise Marco would pester him and an order was an order.]
Give me one, too, you unbasted turkey.

Hey, Thatch. I'm feelin' a little bit guilty.
no subject
What did you do now?
[forgive him if he sounds a little long suffering. He's not in the best of moods]
no subject
But, everybody on the Moon's left outta the big show 'cause they couldn't blend in or don't like what we're up to.
We should have a big party when we're back.
no subject
Aye, agreed with the party...
[he glances at Ace before looking over the party]
It's not going to be the last time, you know. Unless of course you decide to take a different course.
[would he say no to Ace softening around the edges? No... But it would be hard to follow and there was no telling what Marco would say or do. But he could work in the shadows if need be. It wasn't anything he hadn't done before]
no subject
I wouldn't do this if I thought it would be the last. If I thought this would all end here, I'd never want to come to this thing.
[He reached up to take off his hat and roll it on his fingertips.]
I'm taking the course I feel like being on, Thatch. As far as I've come--no one's getting in my way, again. From here on out... [Ace reached up to set his hat back on, beginning to walk back towards the party.]
We're looking down at them from the summit.
no subject
Aye, Captain.
[at your back because at that moment he can really believe it. Believe all that Ace can become and more. Maybe he won't be Pops. Maybe no one can be Pops but Pops, but for now, Ace was the next best thing. The new generation. Thatch was caught between watching him go and smooshing his freckled cheeks between his hands.]

Wait, do you want any food? I can bring some up.
no subject
If you can actually get food from the table and back here, I'll be impressed. [he folds his arms and grins] You can't cheat and bring back vegetables either.
no subject
Why?
[Aside from the obvious eating everything ever.]
