What: The first leg of the race
Warnings: The usual
Status: Semi-open to the Bloody Roses.



Pls date your threads.

Bloody Roses, how close we're sailing is up to you guys though probably not enough to just casually swing over without some ability. However, feel free to come encounter us at any time on the island!

Straw Hats, enjoy the veggie rain! Also remember our NPC pirates are Mama's Bone Boys who will attack us intermittently throughout the journey and send spies on board. Let's save the major boss battles til the finale, though, shall we? But otherwise, have fun!

Whenever :T /best at timestamps okay

[A: Smoker is awkward. REMEMBER HOW AWKWARD? Well even if you don't, you get a whole fresh new wave of awkwardness as he basically tries to be invisible -- except for one thing, his half-wolf puppy is Luffy's new bff and he can't train it when they keep playing like that!]

[That and god damn his sensitive hearing. He's pretty jumpy already, but Luffy's usual antics induce yelling, and if it DOES get quieter, than pretty much any sound makes Smoker jump. Feel free to yell at him for yelling, or just scare the bejeezus out of him. Or try.]

[B: He's not exactly calmed down, but he does practice jitte quite a bit and offer to help Keimi learn how to use a staff weapon, so he might let others join in too.]

[C: Alternately in a futile effort to not be so high-strung Smoker keeps trying to stack rocks. This fails utterly though since nearly every time he gets anywhere with them, the puppy comes and knocks them over happily. He's pretty sure the pirates are putting the puppy up to it. >:|]

[D: And evenings and nights he doesn't sleep much, hanging out on deck in a tucked away corner, reading quietly and smoking.]

[Of course the better question might be just what the hell he's even doing here in the first place after all.]

A! On a day that ends in Y.

[Pretty much right after they set sail, though.

So Sanji didn't even realize yet that Luffy had dragged Smoker on board, he just kind of wanders past him on the way to the galley, and then pauses. He cringes for a moment, making a face at nothing in particular, and then backtracks until he's in front of where the other man is trying to pretend like he's part of the shitty ship or something.]

...The hell are you doing here?

Awesome XD

[justicereigns]

Your captain kidnapped me.

I'm negotiating the return of my handcuffs key and a ride back to my own ship.

[That's his story and he's sticking to it.]

[serving_love]

...

[Lets a smirk curve slowly onto his face.]

You let Luffy kidnap you? Heh.

[justicereigns]

Who said "let?!" Do you think I'd allow myself to be kidnapped by a moron like that?!

[Cue spazzing and twitching.]

[serving_love]

Kind of, yeah.

[Points at him with his cigarette.]

That, or he's somehow better than you at your own shitty game. How long you been trying to capture him now?

[justicereigns]

He only gets away because he has family who rescue him.

He's not better, just trickier.

[serving_love]

[Shruuuug.]

Either way, you got outsmarted by a rubber idiot. So welcome back, I guess. Put your feet up, stick around.

[He snorts and shakes his head, just amused all over.]

You must secretly like it here. [Gives him a look out of the corner of his eye.] Or like someone who lives here, at least.

[justicereigns]

Don't even joke about that.

[Sanji, you're going to kill him. Smoker will die of embarrassment, and fuming, and it will be all on your head when you make Tashigi cry.]

[Smoker debates telling the truth; that he was an idiot who thought checking up on the Straw Hats was a good idea, and very mistakenly somehow thought it would be quieter here during the race than on his own ship during the merger and race.]

[Then again Sanji already thinks he's an idiot.]

[RE-YET THEN AGAIN: Idiot is better than liking pirates romantically.]

[Ugh. What have his life decisions even come to?!]

Your captain might see fit to save my life, but the feeling isn't mutual.

[serving_love]

Yeah, sure, you keep telling yourself that.

[Sanji doesn't buy your nonsense, Smoker. He slides a hand into his pocket, just watching him.]

So how goes it on the shitty no-pirates-allowed Marine ship?

[justicereigns]

That should be its official name.

[Closes his eyes to think for a bit.] About as well as you'd expect all things considered.
