[This is a man who sounds pretty angry. Of course if you know Smoker well, then you might know he often sounds like that. Still, even for Smoker, clearly something's set him off.]

Welcome to New Feathers, if you haven't heard about the Shifts or Drafts yet, I suggest you look into it. If you want to learn basic self defense I could teach you, or Chun-Li could, or any of other teachers who offer it. Normally I'd offer to teach jitte as well, but I'm using flimsy knock-offs right now because some idiot seems to have borrowed it without permission.

[And here he gives a lethal glare to the camera.] I know a pirate took it before, and I've spent all this month hunting you down. I don't know who took it, but step forward now and I'll be far more lenient than if you continue to make me wait!

[His tone suggests that "lenient" means he'll only beat the thief half to death instead of two-thirds.]

I'll be by the barracks stacking rocks. [And making a snowman. Not that he's going to admit to that to anyone. Except kids maybe.]

Comments

[justicereigns]

You're joking.

[spohkh]

[Spock gave him a bland...blank Vulcan look...]


Vulcans do not joke Mister Smoker...

[justicereigns]

I wish you would.

This is all wrong. And possibly something that could destroy a world.

At least it won't destroy Luceti I'm pretty sure. [Pinches the bridge between his eyes. Note: he's only pretty sure on that >:|]

[spohkh]

[Spock tilts his head in confusion....]

Perhaps you are regarding this situation in an overly dramatic manner? It is not complicated.

As it stands... relationships will resume to their 'normal' states when returned to their appropriate universes.


[Spock was regarding Smoker with a concerned look... ]

[justicereigns]

Perhaps. Unless the relationships here are because of something there.

[spohkh]

Indeed... though I am wondering why you are allowing it to bother you so much...


Perhaps...


Do you have romantic feelings for any of these individuals? [Spock was genuinely curious...]

[justicereigns]

[Smoker genuinely looks sick at this question. And makes a strangled sound, trying to get words out.]

NO!!

[Shudders.]

[A lot.]

[He's going to have nightmares forever.]

Firstly, I'm seeing someone here. Secondly.... [He can't even say the second part.] That's just wrong.

[Nightmares forever man. Forever and ever.]

[spohkh]

[Spock nods... though the amusement is apparent in his eyes.]

My apologies Mister Smoker... I did not mean to presume.... though I do not know how else to classify your behaviour...

[And since Spock is in on all of the gossip...] May I inquire as to whom you are seeing?

[justicereigns]

Grell Sutcliff. For quite a while now actually. It's a long story.

[spohkh]

[Spock tilted his head in obvious confusion...

Grell? Smoker was with Grell?...]

I see... I have had the opportunity to meet Miss Sutcliff... she is a fascinating individual. [And Smoker has a problem with Robin?....well then.]

[justicereigns]

You seem.... surprised?

[Sure. Surprised is one word for it. More like unnerved though.]

[spohkh]

Merely curious.....

It seems odd though that your own partner's personality is similar to Miss Robin's when it comes to a penchant for mischievous behaviour.

1/2

[justicereigns]

[What in the...]

2/2

[justicereigns]

[Ahahahahahaha Nope.]

You must be mistaken. Grell has a job upholding justice, not thwarting it.

My mistake, completely forgot Grell was Male.... >_<

[spohkh]

I see... [No you don't Spock. The last time you talked with Grell it was exactly like talking with Robin.]

My apologies. [He's not sorry.]

No worries, that isn't why XD

[justicereigns]

Don't worry about it, I'm just confused now.

[Since he doesn't go around telling people what Grell's job is...]

[spohkh]

By my comparison? Is Mister Grell not a god of death? [Yes, that's right, he's talked to him before...]

[justicereigns]

Miss. [Eyes narrow.] Unless she tells you otherwise.

Did she tell you that?

[spohkh]

Not exactly.... she had me undergo a rather elaborate guessing game which concluded in me guessing correctly....

As I stated before, she is a rather fascinating character with a rather... flamboyant personality. [Hence his comparison with Robin...]

[justicereigns]

[Instantly relaxes at that.] All right, future reference, keep that kind of thing off the journals, all right?

And yeah, flamboyant about sums her up. But she's nothing like Nico Robin. Robin is all shadows and hiding. Grell's a hunter like me, but she follows her own justice.

[spohkh]

Very well... my apologies if I have offended you Mister Smoker.

Though I am curious... why do you label yourself as a hunter? Do you hunt people?

[justicereigns]

What? No, I'm not. Why would I be offended?

And right, I hunt pirates. White Hunter. That's my marine nickname. [Official one anyway. The unofficial one is that he's the loose hound of the marines, but he doesn't usually tell people that.]

[spohkh]

Then that would be perhaps why you and Miss Robin do not 'get along'... [Way to go Spock, gold star.]

I wonder what would happen if you not longer 'hunted' pirates.

[justicereigns]

[Y U P.]

She'd still be annoying. She's only a pirate because she chooses to be.

[TRUTH TOLD, he doesn't hate Robin THAT THAT much. It's hard for him to really "hate" most of the Straw Hat crew in general, but he does find her genuinely frustrating.]

[spohkh]

And you are only a hunter because you choose to be. A rather fascinating turn of events, yes?

Though I will admit that her personality takes much to.... get used to. She confuses me often, though I do not believe that she would intentionally harm anyone who is not an absolute threat.
