justicereigns | Damages.

Well that was unpleasant. If anyone's hurt, a reminder to see the ship's doctor immediately. Damn. Only 7 of their ships but they still managed to hurt the Lady Justice. I'm using the den den mushis to secure a place to get repairs done but it looks like we'll need to stop by Water 7 as soon as possible. We're sailing at 1/3rd of the speed.

Allen, flu or not, see what you can do about helping to deal with the harpoons in the side of the ship. ~~You'd almost think we were dealing with Hina's ship.~~

To whomever dropped off the "prisoner" I received with no easy means of identification, thanks. Because I clearly have nothing to do with my time except chase down this idiot's family. And people wonder why I hate pirate scum.

I've got a headache. I'll be in my office with rum and some meds. Don't knock. Karen I could use your help on paperwork.

Oh and who the hell invited a damn cat on this ship? This pet thing is going a little far people. Adopt a seagull. At least they aren't useless. On that note I have some bamboo for you Lass.

~~Havoc... hn. Not a bad job. Damages would probably be worse without you but see what you can do about that backlash. Damn.~~

It's my feet you gotta worry about!

Anyway, not all of us wanna look like a goddamn gorilla.

Uh-huh. I'm real worried.

Gorillas are majestic beasts, ahou. And at least I can go shirtless freely, unlike your skinny, buttoned-up self.

Gentlemen don't wander around all day half-naked! It's rude when there's female company present!!

Sure. And that's why the girls always find excuses to lounge around on deck when I'm training with my shirt off.

THEY'D BE OUT THERE ANYWAY, like they wanna be blinded by all your stupid skin!

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, love-cook.

You're one to talk about blinding, who is it around here who's so pale he practically glows in the dark?

OI, I'm not pale, asshole, I'm just...fair-skinned!! Some of us actually have WORK to do on this ship and we can't camp out on deck all day, you know - ain't my fault I gotta stay in the galley so much, you idiots eat like fucking black holes!

Pale, fair-skinned, both just mean you're white as ~~the moon~~ a freaking clam. Yeah.

Che! I work! I work all the time! And growing young guys have needs, as I'm damn sure you know.

Whatever, it ain't a crime! S'better than being lobster red, and that's the only other color I go.

Heh. Think I know better than you do, yeah. Only thing YOU ever seem to need besides food is more sleep.

S'better than being lobster red

...Oh, I dunno about that. I can think of a couple situations...uh.

Che. Food, sleep, and training, those are the basic needs. Other things get...sublimated. Doesn't mean I don't know about 'em. ~~In theory.~~

Situations? Do tell.

...In theory. Oh you poor innocent little marimo.

...They don't involve you nosebleeding over a girl. You look better—angry. Passionate.

Oh, shut the hell up, bastard. Like you've done so much stuff.

...Yeah well. You would say that, seeing as how you're the one who's always pissing me off.

Like you would know! The ladies love me~

Hmph. Like I would provoke you just to see—you piss me off, is what it is.

Hah! Like you'd even touch "the ladies"; you have that dumb thing where you think they're all special and precious and pure, which just goes to show that you're an idiot and I don't even know why I--hn.

I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm perfectly courteous and polite to you - when you're not being a dumbass. Unfortunately, you're a dumbass at least twenty hours a day.

...There is the slight hiccup of not wanting to...sully a woman's virtue, of course, but that's not ALWAYS an issue! And what the hell do you care about what I've done or haven't done, anyway?!

Right. Heh, and that's four hours less than you've ever admitted before.

How can it not be an issue? And who says I care?! Che, I'm just not about to let you lord something over me when you probably don't even know what you're talking about.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not completely obnoxious in the middle of the night.

When...when they ain't got-- Oh, NEVERMIND, it's not important! I know exactly what I'm talking about, that's the important thing. Like hell I'd not know. Che. Please.

Generous of you.

..........Oh, you mean prostitutes. Tch, why didn't you just say so, idiot. And that barely even counts as experience.

I thought so.

Yeah, like I’d really go out and find myself a -- that. It ain’t needed, I can pick up dates on my own! Just meant they don’t all gotta be untouchable, and I treat ‘em with respect regardless. ...And don’t call them that!!

Whaddaya want me to call 'em, ladies of the night? Everything else's worse.

Whatever. All that's just a distraction, anyway, it can't be that great.

At least THAT doesn't sound quite as...harsh.

...What, seriously?

Euphemism is ridiculous, and doesn't change their job.

...What?

It's called being polite, asshole!

You've never-- seriously??

Whatever, I'm not saying it.

Che! It's not a big deal, shithead, I've been busy. Not like there haven't been offers, and I've done some stuff.

Then just don't talk about them!

Ha, offers, right. Nineteen-year-old guys don't turn down offers. And busy my ass, if you didn't spend half your time LOST at each of these islands we go to, you'd have plenty of time!
