[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.]

Not with this one. You're free to not answer without it being rude.

That's weird, really, really weird.. Are there some sort of special rules for dealing with Smoker's twin sister-chan?

[ that's what Smoker told her (s)he was and she believed it, okay, super gullible. ]

[Smoker's twin sister...]

Yes, there are special rules for her. Because she's a liar.

A.. liar..? [ wait, that doesn't sound very good.. but she actually liked this person who said she was the twin sister of someone named Smoker, but she's actually a bad person? ]

Did she lie about anything?

She has. That's why she doesn't deserve you being polite with her.

[Should he be horrible and say that she can also be a bit of a bully? Nah, this is enough.]

[ She would be positively frightened of Smoker if Ikki said that.. ]

... But what did she lie about? Smoker's twin sister-chan didn't tell me much she could lie about..

[Takes that moment to speak up.]

I'm not really Smoker's twin. Just Smoker. I got mallynapped and thought it would be less confusing on people like this. [Except that no one else believed him >>; he did try though.]

Sorry. I understand if you're mad at me now, but the rest was all true. And I do like books.

That's true, though he doesn't like them as much as you do, Kotomi-chan.

[This can be a three way for all he cares, thanks.]

[ Three way up in here. ]

So.. Smoker's twin sister-chan isn't actually Smoker twin sister-chan, but instead Smoker-kun himself..? [ she's speaking a bit slowly, but it seems she's starting to understand.. besides, she doesn't sound mad or even generally fazed in the slightest, just continuing in the same tone. ]

I get it. It must have been really confusing to see Smoker-kun as a woman, right? [ nodding to herself. ] That's okay, instead of being friends with Smoker's twin sister-chan I can be friends with Smoker now, right?

... How much does Smoker-kun like books? I don't get it anymore..

Correct.

I like books a lot, but I also train a lot as well.

He likes books more than me but less than you. He does much more than just be at the library and at home reading.

Still, even if Smoker-kun would only like books a little, then that would already make me very happy.. It's nice to find people who like books. [ she sounds happy, too. ]

And.. is Smoker-kun training to fight bullies like Ikki-kun does?

Exactly. Pirate bullies.

And pirates who aren't bullies as well, so long as they are a pirate.

[Well, it's true. Also...]

I like books too. I just don't sit to read them often.

[Because he has little education on that matter, you two wouldn't read much either if you spend most of your childhood like he did. Also, he's not pouting because now Smoker makes Kotomi happy or anything. He's just stating a fact.]

But pirates usually are bullies, right? The dictionary definition would be 'someone who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without having a commission from any sovereign nation', so.. they're doing bad things, like bullies would do. So fighting them is very good.

[ Smoker and Ikki are just fighters against bullies together, okay. ]

Hmm, I know Ikki-kun likes books.. Ikki-kun likes the stories I read to him after all, right?

Exactly. All pirates are bullies, pretty much by definition. Bullies with ships.

[Doesn't say anything about the reading together, just files this away mentally.]

I don't hate them, that's for sure.

[He would admit he likes them but he's still aware Smoker is there listening so he tries to block some of the damage.]

You have good stories to read anyway so it's natural I guess.

[It's not because of you, it's the books. Yes.]

Smoker-kun, please keep fighting the bullies.. That's great, now nobody with ships will have to worry about the bullies with ships.

[ She seems pretty happy still - who knows whether it's because of the bullies thing or Ikki liking her stories, probably both.. ]

If Ikki-kun likes them I want to read them to him more and more.

[Blushing on his own end. He is never going to handle compliments well. Normally he just gets insults or yelled at.] I'll do my best little lady.

How often do you read to him?

[ so cute, Smoker, Kotomi just smiles. ] Thank you.

... Ah.. Ikki-kun and I promised to talk every day until White Day, so I read to him at least once a day. Sometimes at night too, if he says good night to me and then he listens to me reading to the plushies.

[Nooo he is scary and tough damn it.]

Why only until White Day?

[Although speaking of cute...] So he makes sure to say goodnight? That's nice of him.

[No, wait. When did this turn this way. Kotomi why are you telling Smoker those things??!!! Don't you see it's just going to feed his already wild imagination??]

I don't make sure! Sometimes I'm just bored enough I decide to do that, because I don't remember if we talked already or not, it's no big deal!

[Except that he makes sure of it.]

What's with your wild imagination? Next you'll say that I also make sure to call her before she reads those bedtime stories to listen to her voice for longer. Being a woman is driving you crazy, Smoker.

[ Nope, Smoker is cute now, and so is tsunning Ikki. ]

It really is nice of him, right? [ completely ignoring what Ikki is saying.. ]

I always feel really, really happy too when he says good night to me, it's really kind.

[Noooo... they are manly and tough and just happen to like bedtime stories :|]

Yup, he's a pretty good guy like that. And I'm sure he enjoys hearing your voice too. It is a very nice one, isn't it Ikki?

[He is just... grinning like a cheshire cat here.]

[Ignoring Smoker, since it's like talking to a wall. And Kotomi said she felt happy when he says good night to her. Not that he cares but it's just that the thought of it is, ridiculous. Yeah, that's the term.]

You sure get happy with little things.
