[voice] A stormy question

[Hello Luceti, is the nice little ice storm distracting you from post-Valentine's woes? Don't worry, here's a grumpy marine asking questions to painfully reminds you all.]

Seeing as we're all stuck inside -- [Once again, an usually feminine voice from Smoker's journal account.] -- I've got a question for everyone affected by the event.

Are there normally lines you won't cross in relationships that the Malnosso seem to cross for you? Or do they seem to take those into consideration instead? Since they seem to know us pretty well, it begs the question whether they're using our weaknesses, or if it's completely random.

And if anyone needs help out there in the storm, let me know. This weather is good practice.

[ooc: and feel free to threadjump like the dickens. It might be the only time Smoker keeps quieter than not, seeing as he's a girl now.]

Good luck with that.

You are way too uptight, y'know that? "Just fighting"... geez, you're dull.

As opposed to what, Portgas? [Annoyed (cute) growl.]

Going out for a drink, maybe? Just talking? Hell, we don't have to be friends, but what's the point of being enemies here?

[Pauses...]

Fine.

Just don't read too much into it. [The only person reading too much into it is Smoker... but well /tsuns more.]

Pretty sure you're the only one doing that right now.

I -- I AM NOT!

I'm setting boundaries. Obviously.

Uh... sure, then? Whatever works for you. [NOT BUYIN' IT.]

Why doesn't this bother you more? Shouldn't you be more upset about this?

Why the hell should I be?

Right. We're not really enemies here as much... I guess...

Forget it.

It's better that you're not? [Oh look at him try not to tsun. Daw.]

Still on for sparring?

Yeah, sure. Just call whenever you wanna.

Likewise.

All right, later. [That was short...]

[That's what happens with grumpy marines. But it's okay, he's also way too freaking inquisitive.]

Portgas. You were affected by the Shift, right?

[... bullshit time.] Mn, I think so. I've been kinda only half here for a long time, so I can't really tell. I might've, though.

Half here?

Yeah. Half here. Kinda in a daze. [And that's all he's willing to say on it.]

From the Shift?

[Smoker is just flat out confused since that doesn't quite jive with how others experiment the event, but fuck it, Ace is Ace, Smoker wouldn't be surprised if he fell asleep for half of it.]

[...haha "fell asleep". Quite the opposite, Smoker.]

Mn, something like that. [Or not.]

Spill it. You just make it sound more suspicious like this.

[And do you really want to see Smoker get paranoid? IT'S NOT PRETTY.]

It's no business of yours. [He's only willing to talk about ~issues~ with people close to him.

aka not you.]

All the more reason. You know why people talk to bartenders?

[See how much Smoker cares about your deep and dark personal issues that can only be shared with the closest of friends? He doesn't. He will always and forever be a nosy bastard, even when he kind of means well. Or if he doesn't.]

This ain't a bar, and you're not a bartender.

[Well. Fuck you too, Smoker. And that angry tone should tell you all you need to know.]

So it's something more serious than the Shift?

[Because if all this is over kissing him... well fuck you too Ace. >:\ No one asked you to. And such.]

Tsk, fine. I'm only interested in spotting problems there. If you want to carry on the agreement not to discuss... other things, that's your choice.

I'd really rather not discuss it. [As if you couldn't obviously tell by his angry tone earlier.]
