Marco quickly set up a couple of kegs at the ready for the drinking party. Because it was just plain necessary, and a lot like old times. The last two weeks were still weighing on Marco's mind. War, Peace, phoenixes. Was it a good idea to really enjoy war so much? Was it a bad one? Maybe it was inevitable, so he might as well enjoy it. Like life, right? Or should he not encourage it just because it was amusing?

It was too much of a headache, that's why he was just going to drink.

He also set up some non-alcoholic drinks for Leanne and everyone else. Green tea, fruit juices, but they were all clearly marked.

Marco gave a quick piercing whistle. "OI SPADES! Roll call and drinking games!"

And maybe drunk board games, he would blame that on Ace though.

"For now, he says." he said with a laugh, taking a long sip of his drink then smiling. as hot as Faye was, she could be a problem, and Logan got attached to problems swiftly. Not to mention their death rate. Now, Deesuko on the other hand was no strings and no problems. Also, some good cage fights.

"I wouldn't mind making a trip back there sometime in the near future. Spade territory now, right? We should check in on it for a bit." From his pocket, as he spoke, he pulled out two cigars, offering one up to the other.

[thatched]

"Thanks, mate." He accepted the cigar and lit Logan's before lighting his own with the same match and leaning back, holding it between his teeth.

"Aye, we should. But if we're lucky our next port of call will have a decent bordello. No need to overuse just one." The whole world was their sandbox...whether they liked it or not.

[donthithimintheballs]

He gave a small nod to the thanks and the light. Taking a pull form it and letting the smoke out slowly to the side, partly thought a sign.

"Clearly it's your job to keep these places, all over, in business." He teased. "I'll help whenever I can."

[thatched]

"When a man's not interested in love, it's the least he can do," Thatch said with an exaggerated sigh, putting a hand over his heart. "I like to consider it a civic duty. Show them a good time and make it worth their time. But actually." He tilted his head back and blew out a smoke ring. "Civic duty is sleeping with Marine wives. I honestly don't know why those captains badger me when I treat their ladies so well."

[donthithimintheballs]

"Love, heh..." He shook his head at that. Logan had fallen in 'love' one too many god damn times. He's a little burned by it.

That... however, that made Logan bark a laugh, grinning at the man and his civic duty and Marine wives. "You'd think they'd learn by now. Let a real man handle their woebegone wives while they chase your crew mates around the seas, huh?"

[thatched]

He felt that. Not in the same way, or at least he sincerely doubted it. But forget about that for now.

"Oh aye. There was... oh Regattaya. Cute little island. First part of the Grand Line so full of upstarts both pirates and Marines, but one specifically was Commander General of some ritzy low security prison. His wife, Pomgranata... gorgeous in the quaint sort of way, bouncy hair, well figured, lips that could suck ink out of a squid." More nudging in the ribs.

"Barely had to flutter my eyelashes at the poor lass and she was slipping the key into my pants... which, let me tell you, took a hell of a time to get out." He laughed.

"Had to shake it out through a leg and then get it with my teeth. You don't even want to know what it tasted like. Anyway so I went to thank her as a good man should and she sang like a bird and obviously hadn't had any in years. She was softer than a cloud island... So I might have gotten too comfortable and I'm just waking up about ten in the morning to hear the Commander come marching home-- So I throw on my clothes, give the lady a kiss goodbye and dart out over the rooftops only to realize I'd put on his pants by mistake!"

He whacked Logan in the shoulder and laughed. "Imagine! Trying to get away from a bevy of annoyed Marines wearing pants so bright orange they could strike a man dead just from looking at them too hard."

[donthithimintheballs]

Man, he hasn't had enough to drink for this story, though it's great. He sat there through the nudges, chuckling a bit, actually interested. Surprisingly interested in this guys wild and crazy stories. Honestly, he found his stories the best. Made his own time back home seem like a pit of depression an--oh right. It was.

Still. At the end he was laughing loudly, picturing the guy in orange pants. "Lemme guess, they were a bit too small for ya? Made it harder to run the roof tops with out splitting the ass open?" He mused.

[thatched]

"Not as small as you might think. The Commander was only about maybe half a head shorter, but I definitely felt it after a time as he had no ass to speak of. And it certainly made good target practice. Nothing like having the doctor take a bullet out of your ass." He chuckled and finished his ale then got up to bring a keg over.

"Maybe I'll show you the scar sometime if you ask pretty." And he blew a kiss.

[donthithimintheballs]

He snorted at that, draining his own drink as he saw the other bring a keg over. He shook his head though, waving a hand as if to say no, don't, I wont ever ask.

"I've been shot in the ass before. I know how that feels. I'll pass on the scars. I'm sure you have a good ass too, but I'll save that sight for the ladies who love it."

[thatched]

"Suit yourself." He refilled them both and stretched back, looking out over the sea and the low clouds just on the horizon. There was a small pod of dolphins just in eyesight and he watched them barrel through the water, wondering if they would change course but they never did.

"All in all it isn't a bad place to stay." It wasn't home. Would never be. Could never be. How could anyone love a copy of the real thing? You couldn't. You just learned to deal with it.

[donthithimintheballs]

HE took his drink back and didn't bother looking out at sea, he just leaned back, head tilted back a bit and looked up at sails and sky.

"Naw. Not so bad here." It was better then home for him. He actually loved this place more then home. There was a difference between the two of them. For him this was... this was good. This was close connections and family and a life that he liked not a life he had to suffer through. "I think I could grow to like it here."

Honestly, he already had.

[thatched]

"Well we'll make it a home soon enough," he said pleasantly though the thought of it left him feeling a little hollow. Maybe it always would. He accepted it and moved on.

"Maybe we can find a few lonely Navy women between us, aye? Sometimes they even want return calls."

[donthithimintheballs]

"Maybe." He simply agreed, drinking more and deciding now that getting smashed sounded like a great idea tonight.

"You know, I ran into more then a few tense ladies at that ball. I'm sure there are a few out there we could keep company. Maybe one with dark hair..." He's got a thing for dark hair lately. He left his red haired phase with Jean, and started a dark haired phase lately.

Lets please do forget that Faye has dark hair.

[thatched]

"Dark hair, is it?" Said oh so casually as he refilled his drink, filled Logan's a little more and leaned back, smirking at him.

"Same color hair as your Loganberry sweetheart, perhaps?"

[donthithimintheballs]

God damn it, Faye. He sighed at that, taking the topped up drink and drinking liberally from it. He was going to need to be sloshed tonight to get over that.

“Perhaps. And she’s not my sweetheart. Nor is she ever going to be.” He said, a finger raised to point at him as if to scold him. Then he snorted. “Safer for her in the long run.”

[thatched]

"Safer for her?" he raised an eyebrow. Odd thing for him to say and maybe something with a deeper meaning, but he wasn't going to push beyond that. "Not much is safe in these waters, mate, especially given who she sails with."

[donthithimintheballs]

He grunted, draining this glass now and leaned forward, resting elbows to knees, fingers curling in and out. "I don't have a good track record of keeping ladies in my life long." And he gave Thatch a pathetic sidelong glance. "And she's the type I wouldn't mind keeping around."

Ug, stating that felt stupid. He'd fallen for someone back home fast too, and look where that got her? Held hostage by crazies and possibly dead. "She's actually better off sailing under Grell then around me." God, why can't he stick to one night stands and brothels.
