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.

I tell you, I may be a pirate, and some may view us as the scum of the universe, but I am indeed a person of honor and principles, whether you wish to believe me or not.

Did you have some sort of falling out with Lupin III?

...Hn.

It... does not matter.

Fine. If you choose to be indifferent towards me, I shall understand but there is one thing I think I must tell you. There is a man after you by the name of sandayumomochi. Be careful Goemon, he certainly gives off a vibe of the living dead.

...Momochi??

But...that's impossible!! He was killed when...

...Forgive me. I must go.

And I'm afraid I may be now on his death list, but that's okay I'm already dead! Yohohoho!

(ooc: I had to laugh at this injection of levity here. You and your character are wonderful. :))

I am sorry that you have gotten entangled...

This is between myself and himself; I cannot allow him to harm anyone else even if you are already dead.

(ooc: Aww, you're making me blush! :D)

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Oh that's quite alright, I happen to have a personal grudge with him now. He did after all try to bribe me to betray you and Lupin, and then threatened to crush my bones into powder when I told him where he can shove his blood money. Yohohoho!

(ooc: Well, it's true. :))

... I...

Thank you for telling me.
I apologize for having judged you unfairly, in haste.

It's quite alright, a lot of people misjudge me just because I'm a little more pale faced than everyone else. Yohohoho!

Brooke; Momochi is ruthless. If he does not find some way to destroy you, I sense he might strive to hunt down those around you. I know well his desire for vengeance, and that it will stop at nothing until it is appeased.

Goemon, my crew is wanted dead by world government. They've sent some of the most elite assassins the world has to offer after us. How could he possibly be any worse? Joining up with the same government? Oh the horror. We're a pirate ship, it's not like we're not constantly on the move and ready for combat anyways.

Innocent people do not deserve to be involved in a dangerous conflict which has nothing to do with them. Whether or not I am needed, it is my problem to resolve so it does not become anyone else's.

I will ask you, then, to let me know if you see him, but I am unsure how the last incident many years ago might have changed him.

[tapdancinskelly.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, but he made it my problem too when he tried to pay me to capture you.

Would you perhaps like to tell me about him?

I...

Sandayu Momochi... was once my sensei; under him, I was an assassin for five years. It was the first job I ever knew... it was also the first time I held money in my hands.

...Never again do I want to return to what was. I rue the day I recklessly accepted a position offered at his school; I did not know, then, the nature of what would be taught. I only wanted to expand my knowledge and to apply my skills.
