[Well Chandra does not mind being checked out. She doesn't mind it one bit. In fact, she'll occasionally toss a few glances over at Haruta, with her most winning smile attached. The story though, is the real deal. A retelling of something from her life not so very long ago.]

Right, okay...so...there I was with just my spear and my armor. No magic, because the whole mountain was just soaked in dark power. And the ogre looks at me and says "So, you think you're tough, huh?"

[Embers rise up around the flame, creating the image of a monstrous ogre and a tiny pyromancer with a spear.]

And you know what I said to him, Haruta?

[She calls out to the adult listener now, trying to drag her into the whole performance.]

[For Haru, half her stories were real life stories, half were fabricated for fun. Sometimes (most of the time) the real stories worth telling were the best though.]

[When she looked at Haruta with the question, she grinned, smile large and eyes meeting that smile. Leaning forward, as if to encourage the curiosity in the kids around them she asked:]

What did you say to him, Chandra? [as if she were very into this (which honestly, she was, but she was rewarded with noticing a few kids leaning in more now as well]

[Chandra felt the same way, really. Her life was pretty wild, and it was pretty easy to embellish some of the parts that were pretty boring or made her look bad. Either way...she grins back.]

I said, 'I don't think I'm tough at all. I just know something you don't.'

[The fiery image shifts, showing a whole valley in much clearer detail. The ogre is standing underneath a pile of loose rocks, and it should be obvious to the onlookers the cartoonish fate that's about to befall the ogre.]

And then I said to him, 'Since I'm such a good sport...I'll even let you in on the secret. Turn around and look.' But of course the big dumb thing didn't believe me.

[The ogre clutches his belly and mimes laughing.]

What do you guys think happened next, hmmm?

[Haruta was grinning from end to end, watching as someone said though thoughts on this matter. Chandra was a good story teller, that was for sure. Catching the attention of pirate children (or children that are pirates) was hard.]

[Catching Haru's was harder.]

Oh, oh! I know! He... trips on his own feet. [she said wrong, resulting in a look from one of the others as if to say she were dumb. Gasp!] W-what? That's not it? [a silly smile]

[Chandra chuckles and shakes her head.]

Oh no, no. I decided to throw my spear.

[The little pyromancer pulls back her arm and hurls the spear. Not at the ogre...but at the rocks over his head.]

And then boom! No more ogre!

[The rocks tumble down and bury the ogre, one hand sticking out, waving a little flag. This continues for a few minutes to the giggling and chortling of pirate kids.

Chandra stands up and snaps her fingers, the fire shifting to perform a kind of intermission in the form of a shadow play. This one's about a dragon and two humans having a big fight...and doesn't need dialogue so she walks over and plunks down beside the little frog prince.]

What did ya think, Haruta?

Aww man, I thought I had that one. [she chuckled, faking shame by hiding her face, and in turn her large grin, with a hand. The kids chuckling was good though. This curse sucked, and she'd barely been here a week. Wtf. But it was nice to hear the light hearted sounds on a ship again. Back home, that was none existent since the battle.]

[Resting back on her hands she tilted her head on her shoulder, looking at the story teller as she came to sit beside her]

I was so sure I figured that one out too. [she teased, and grinned a bit more.] Seriously, though. The fire show adds a nice depth to it all. Pretty amazing. Well told.

Hah, thanks. I figured it was the best way to keep them from killing poor Namur. He looks like he's about to die from exhaustion.

[Nam-chan does look pretty dead from where she's sitting, flopped down on the deck napping. It was a fair arrangement, Chandra could keep the little monsters entertained with her show for a little while and give him a break. And she could recover energy while he kept the hellions in line.]

Sorry you've gotta deal with this right off the bat. This is one of the more annoying curses I've seen. Not as weird as the one with the eggs...or the one where I was a man...but it's definitely up there.

My brother is go, but even he will wear down. [She pointed out, peeking over at napping Namur with a bit of a soft smile. She has a soft spot for all her 1600 brothers, but a few of them had residence in her heart.]

Whoa, wait. Back up. [that brought a sharp smirk to her face] Something in this place changed you into a guy? [well damn, she missed ALL the fun events.]

Yeah, I'm getting that. He's a really great guy. Never met anyone like him. [Chandra smiles fondly over at the dozing fishman in a rare moment of serenity. Those, she'd begun to notice, were happening more and more often around the Spades though.

Of course Haruta's smirk breaks her outta that right quick.]

Yeah. Totally woke up one day with no boobs, an Adam's apple, and the wrong parts down there. It...was sorta like being the opposite of who you are though. Like, Ace was quiet, and Selphie was depressing. And I had a dick. [She chuckles, the whole thing kind of amusing in retrospect.]

Edited 2014-05-21 04:46 (UTC)

And you'll never meet another like him. He's one of a kind. [She said it proudly, leaning back onto her elbows, more sprawled out then before and staring up at the sky.]

[Damn, how could had that been? Waking up like that.] I'd say you ended up with the better half of that deal. I'd bet if I were here I'd end up being super ultra serious or something. [Or super girly as all get out. She'd never have the luck to have the right parts]

[Chandra leans back too, eyes glazing over as she looks to the stars.]

Y'think so? I mean, at least my personality stayed the same and all, but it was weird. An eye opening experience to say the least.

Mmm I don't mind the parts I was given. Learned to use em well enough, but being able to pee standing... with ease, would be pretty awesome. Most people think I'm a boy anyhow, might as well enjoy the boy bits too, huh?

[Chandra shrugs.] That was okay I guess. But really? I just like having my parts. It's more fun being the person filled up than the other way around I think. And boobs are awesome.

[She glanced over at Chandra, smirked as she clearly looked at her chest, glanced down at her own, and snorted. A finger pointing at the other woman] You have the awesome boobs. Me? [she waved a hand over her rather flat chest...] They aren't even bound. Not even a real handful, unless you have tiny hands.

[Chandra brushes her hand along her chest, huffing an amused laugh.]

Mine are okay, sure. But...[She smirks as looks to Haruta.] I like small ones better on other people.

[Marco was right. Haruta was going to like this one. She was forward and not shy about it. With a grin, Haruta shook her head, leaning back watching the flirty woman]

I guess I'm in luck in that department. [her hand rested on her chest lightly. She's not completely flat at least. but damn girl she does have boob envy.]

[Coincidentally, Marco'd told Chandra the same thing. She leans back onto her elbows and looks at the other woman with a snort of laughter.]

I'd say so. You may be even more lucky, if you play your cards right. Especially with flattery like that.

[After all, who doesn't like a little flattery?]

[Well. That brought a roguish smile to her face, head tilted a bit to watch the pretty red head.]

Hey, it's not really flattery when it's the truth. They told me you were hot, but their words weren't doing you justice.

[What? You asked for flattery? She was full of it.]

[That draws another laugh out of Chandra, who leans slightly closer.]

Is that so? [Her eyes spark with actual flame, amused.] Well, y'know they told me you were a real cutie too. And feisty in all the right ways.

[What's the first rule of flirting with your crew mates? don't, but, well... on occasion it's fine, right? And two different boats. Yeah, sure, why not be flirty.]

[She rolled a bit to lean on her elbow, chin in hand, smirking.] I'm told I'm an interesting experience when it comes to feisty. It's really too bad you're currently babysitting kids at the moment.

[Chandra laughs and shakes her head, looking back at the kids with a lazy wave of her hand.]

Am I really?

[And much to the amazement of all the assembled children, two short, squat rock golems and a trio of imps appear.]

Y'know, the best part about being me? I can get out of a lot of responsibility by delegating it to minions.

[that actually made her sit up, blinking a bit in surprise, then grinning. Okay, whoa, that was pretty cool. A brow raised over one eye as she looked back to the woman.]

Not only sexy but a woman of many more talents then playing with fire.

[Chandra twirls a finger and chuckles throatily as a flame spirals around her finger.]

Now you're just trying to get me all buttered up.

[Scootches a bit closer...]

[Fire is fire. She's used to it with Ace, though it's still pretty. As the woman scooted closer, Haruta leaned in, giving her a lop sided grin, tipped in closely so her words could be felt as she spoke]

Is it workin'? [she's amused, and she wasn't warned off of Chandra, and two different ships. Flirty harmless fun, right? She leaned in a bit closer, lips alsmot brushing hers. A whisper] Because if not, clearly I'm not trying hard enough.

[Chandra is perfectly okay with this whole harmless flirty fun thing. She leans up just a bit when Haruta's lips don't quite touch her's. It's quick, and only a very sharp person would pick up that it was even a kiss, but there you have it.]

Oh, it's working, alright. Pretty little thing like you doesn't have to try too hard, y'know...

[And she leans up again, this time kissing with a bit more force. Nobody ever told her not to. And hell, Marco practically planted the idea in her head, right? Damn bird.]
