Nice of them to leave my jacket. [AWKWARD PAUSE. The voice coming from Smoker's journal account is not his usual. Or from a male at all.]

What's with my voice?! [That just squeaks there in high-pitched worry.]

Ah hell... I have boobs.

Fuck you Malnosso.

[He... she rather, clears her voice.]

S-Smoker is back... [That's a bit hesitant.] Ikki, he... he might need help. Jitte and kickboxing lessons will return to normal, sorry everyone about the delay. Could I have a headcount of everyone still wishing to take them? I might need to reorganize his schedules.

[The last part is muffled as he starts to shut the journal.]

Damn it! These jeans are way too big! Now what?!

[He meant biologically, he knows what adoption is.]

Her mentor was. But her biological father probably was a mermaid or however they are called when they are male.

[The only mermaids he knows are Smoker's daughter -barely-, and Thetis who... Doesn't really count.]

Oh, that's... Convenient. Also explains why mermaids always seem to be pictured as young and pretty.

[Chuckle.]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Well, her father could be a fishman. [See? SEE? His world is weird.]

Right. That and less people are into looking at ugly fish. [Less, because even Smoker allots that there are some out there who are into that :|]

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

... I guess that makes sense.

[He guesses.]

I suppose so. There are all types of tastes around.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Exactly. Same goes for everywhere. [Hands him some shirts.] Are these okay?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

[He takes them and gives him a look. Are you really asking for his opinion?]

If they fit they should... Will you pick up bras as well?

[Smirk.]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Folds his arms again.]

I hate bras.

[You know. On principle. Because they hide boobs from him and are annoying to remove from girls.]

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Oh, I didn't know you had tried them already.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Flips him off.]

Getting them off of other women. Why would I wear one now when I don't even like shirts!?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Who knows, why do women wear them?

[Action]

[justicereigns]

I'm told for support and so they move around less. Seems stupid to me.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Suppose you'll know in a few days if you stay in this shape long enough.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Annoyed face.]

By which point I'll have no reputation and pirates will have enough blackmail photos to last a decade. Great.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Sounds about right.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Fine, I'll just break their heads later. Problem solved.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Will you do that every week?

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Yes. It's fun.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Let's hope no one thinks you're abusing power or something.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Abuse nothing, it's deserved.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

It wouldn't be if you stay out of their way for the most part.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

If I avoid them, how will I [stalk them] find out what happened?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

You can do that once you're normal again.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

But who knows how that will take! I might have missed something important.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Define important.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Anything pertaining to the brats.

[:|]

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

The brats... The pirates? Now you're treating them as kids? I always knew mother instincts came with being female.
