St. Poplar

[justicereigns]

Damn brass think they can tell me what to do. Tch. Finally got the orders clearing a ride over St. Poplar. Who here has been there before?

I can't take another minute in Water 7. If I don't find some pirates to hunt soon... Picking off Mello's attackers hardly counts as an appetizer.

I'm taking the sea train over and staying a couple days. No one but Tashigi has to come along but anyone who wants to should. Allen I know is coming. Karen? You still interested? Nataku too. Zenigata and Lady if you feel like it. And Lavi it's a good chance to see a new city. Did you get that information we talked about?

I think I need to get some breakfast. Anyone got recommendations or something? And some painkillers wouldn't go amiss.

Also. The ship should be fixed soon. Any last minute buying trips you'd better finish up now.

Why thank you lady Tashigi! I thought that since you were the one who inspired me to write it, I would share it with you first. Do you think Smoker might like it? I'm hoping to make it up to him since he seemed to hate me for my last two songs.

By the way would you perhaps answer another question for me? I thought I should ask for permission to ask since people always seem to get angry at me when I ask questions.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

... Yes, I think he would like it. Most definitely...

But, h-huh?

... Of course...? Go right ahead, Brooke-san.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Oh what a relief. Then I shall work to complete it as soon as possible! Maybe Smoker will stop threatening to put my head on his jitte like some sort of trophy! Yohohoho!

Thank you for being so understand Lady Tashigi!

If you were suddenly transported to the sun because of an evil scheme devised by an evil Russian chicken and asked to take off your clothes and make love to the burning flames and then recite the presidents in alphabetical order by their middle name while juggling 11 midgets holding soda cans between your two front teeth that will be operated on by 86 evil Czechoslovakian dentists named Farkus who got their degrees studying the taste buds of Tom Selleck at a college named after some guy who wasted away his life by eating pork grinds naked in his mom's basement while searching for pictures of Kirsten Dunst to use for purposes that cannot be explained by the 1972 Junior High class of some school that no one cares about in Eastern Idaho where woodland creatures choose to spend their lives trying to recreate some bad 1940's soap opera instead of frolicking happily in the woods, would you prefer chocolate ice cream or vanilla?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

.... V-vanilla.

And yourself, Brooke-san?

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Wow... you know, nobody has ever asked me that before. It is quite remarkable though that every person I've ever asked this question to has answered vanilla. I suppose I would like vanilla too.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

W-well, there's a first time for everything, now isn't there, Brooke-san?

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know about that. For instance nobody has said they'd like chocolate Ice cream yet, and I rather doubt you will ever show me your panties. Yohohoho!

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

P-perhaps, you have never asked them if they'd like S-strawberry or chocolate, you don't know if they would answer any differently, Brooke-san...!

And A-ah... No, that I don't think will ever happen, I a-apologize, Brooke-san.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

No, no, it has to be chocolate of vanilla. Although I doubt I could truly explain to you why.

Oh no, no need to apologize! It's nice enough of you to still be willing to speak to me as a friend afterwords! Yohohoho!

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

B-but again... You don't know if you don't try, do you?

And... if y-you're sure, Brooke-san. You seem nice enough, even if you're a pirate.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Well that's why I'll still keep asking, but if I broadened it to strawberry it would be so long that nobody would want to read it, and if I took out vanilla, why then I would be changing one of the variables and I couldn't be scientifically accurate.

Hmm... I wonder if Smoker would torture and kill me slowly if I asked you for a date friendly spar? I'd promise to be on my best behavior as long as there's no sea stone involved. Something tells me that might kill me considering my devil fruit is the only thing keeping me alive.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true enough... Why don't you ask two questions? Or a-alternate between the two?

... I doubt he would approve, Brooke-san, nor can I accept as it is my duty to arrest pirates. And you being a pirate, and me sparring against you would have to end with you in jail.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Well I suppose I could try something like that... but I don't see how adding another flavor into the mix would help.

You know, it still might be worth it. I don't often get the chance to spar with beautiful women. Although when you arrest me can you at least be gentle~ Yohohoho!

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

... Ask Smoker-san, perhaps he'll allow it.

[justicereigns]

If you want me to say no you'll have to tell me otherwise I'm going to allow it.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Really?!

[justicereigns]

I didn't say that yet I'm talking to Tashigi about it first afroskull.

*salute*

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Sir, yes sir!

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Brooke-san, I would think this means yes, I will be able to spar with you.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Then I look forward to seeing you in person my lady! It shall be the most memorable spar you've ever had, if I can help it! Yohohoho!

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Sir, I was only assuming you would prefer me to ask your permission...

I have no problems sparring with Brooke-san.

I-I just figured I would be polite.

[justicereigns]

As you wish then. I'm not going to forbid the chance to get stronger and learn more about the Straw-Hats. Knowing out enemies is crucial to the fight against them. Try to win and do the marines proud won't you?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Yessir!

I will try.

[justicereigns]

Good. Don't get hurt.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Yessir!

I won't!
