ooc: OPEN LOG Water 7, anyone who wants in is welcome

Who: Anyone/Everyone/whoever
Where: Water 7 and/or the train
Why: Jensu asked and I love logs so I'm an easy sell
What: Exploring, rooftop jumping, watching docksmen, drinking, whatever you feel like
When: VAGUELY SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER :| Plot holes = yay (Smoker at least is somewhere after Thursday and I have to talk to Tyr again heh)
Rating: Seriously there are non-R Smoker/Karen logs but... this is not one of them XD

Smoker wearily climbed the stairs, on his way back to the hotel room. Chasing after Fiyero had taken longer than he'd hoped and he still had friends visiting to at least greet. Mostly he just wanted to crawl into bed with Karen and sleep for the next twenty-four hours. Still he took the time to look around at the city. It was a beautiful city really. The water was a bit much but it reflected nicely and red tile rooftops sparkled in the sunlight in stark contrast with the blue waters. Maybe if there was time he'd take Karen out jumping rooftops at night.

The Inspector followed him, taking an occasional quick glance at his new surroundings. "If it's not too much trouble, sir." He said, his hands sliding into his pockets. "I promise that I won't take long. How long do you plan for you and your crew to stay in Water 7?" While he did want to do some investigating of the area (out of curiosity for once), if there was a schedule planned he felt he shouldn't uphold Smoker if he had plans after repairing the Lady Justice.

Smoker grunted, taking the long strides Tashigi usually had to almost jog to keep up with. "They think the repairs will take until December so unfortunately we'll be here a while." Smoker gestured off into the distance slightly towards the train station. "I'll be taking the train in about a week or so over to St. Poplar for a day or two. You're more than welcome to come but you don't have to. Any pirates I find there," yes it was definitely so he could go beat up pirates. And ride the train. "I can deal with alone but Karen, my ensign, Allen, Nataku and a few others will be joining." He rubbed his temples, "I'll have to check on Lavi."

He paused then suddenly remembering, "Lavi is the red-haired guy with an eyepatch. He's my intelligence officer, a bookman in his world -- I have no idea if they have those in yours or not, and you'll want to check in with him. He was around while Lupin stole the marine ship and any information he can get he can use to help you. Of my crew he knows the most about the other country people and is in charge of their histories so he could help you with that too."

They walked over one of the arched bridges and Smoker mentally ticked off a checklist in his head. "Near the end of November around the 28th we'll be dealing with promotions. There probably won't be too many but there's a formal, I don't make anyone not getting promoted come but again, you're welcome to. Aside from that, not much is scheduled while we're here but every day there will be exercise and training drills at 9 am and 3 pm. No sailing training right now so just rifles, swords, and calisthenics, I'm sure you've been through it all before."

"Understood." He replied, filing away the information in his head for later use. He then perked up as the captain mentioned intelligence officer, Lavi. 'Hmm, I'll definitely need to speak with him about Lupin,' He thought. 'There might be more to this stolen ship incident, as well as the story behind those human countries...'

As Smoker mentioned exercises and training, the Inspector nodded. "I've used firearms before, and like I have mentioned I'm quick to learn. I promise I won't bog you down when the time comes, sir." He replied, reaching into his coat for his Shinseis.

Smoker nodded, "Good man. I'll count on it. There's no formal meals right now, everyone is responsible for getting whatever they want since we're all spread out; no marine base in this city but it's covered with the hotel rooms so you can just eat there if you want."

The marine commodore led Zenigata into the hotel room and spotted a bit of red hair belonging to Lavi. "Oh here he is." He signaled Lavi over with a simple, "Lavi. This is Zenigata. He's looking for Lupin and joining the crew in the meanwhile."

Lavi, who was preoccupied with looking out a window, turned around upon hearing the door open. He grins at Smoker and his guest while his arm raises to give a wave. "Nice to meetchya." He takes a few steps forward, hands resting against the back of his head. "So you're in the Marines now?"

As he was about to pull out a cigarette, Zenigata looked up. Lavi was much younger than he imagined, but he definitely had the red hair Smoker had mentioned. It jet out in several directions like red hot spikes, while his bangs hung to the side of his face, barely covering his remaining eye which was a striking green. While he seemed more relaxed than the Inspector anticipated, the captain mentioned he was a historian of sorts so it was possible that he was much more clever than he appeared. "A pleasure." He replied, stuffing his cigarettes back into his coat and giving him a salute. "I'll be joining your crew for the time of being, Lavi sir."

"You can drop the sir," he says, his grin falling to a smile. "Lavi is fine." The salute and the whole sir thing was enough to make the red head laugh. He was all too used to being laid back when it came to greeting people. Hopefully Smoker wouldn't force him to stand up straight and salute back. "I'm warning you that the food in the kitchen isn't that great," he says partly to take a jab at Smoker and partly to find out what kind of person Zenigata is.

"As long as we have enough of it, I have no complaints." Zenigata said. "I'm not a picky eater." As he reached inside his coat for his cigarettes again, he continued the conversation. "Smoker told me you were some kind of historian, correct?"

"Almost like Allen," Lavi comments, not bothering to go on with mentioning who Allen is at the moment. "You could say that. The real term for it is Bookman though. Historians are pretty boring in comparison to what I have to do, " he begins to explain, not caring that he wasn't exactly allowed to share what a Bookman does.

The Inspector looked at him. "A 'bookman'? There is a term similar to that where I'm from but I'm afraid the occupation attached to it has nothing to do with history." He said, recalling when he had to arrest a 'bookie' during his early years on the Tokyo police force. He bit down on a Shinsei, drawing it from the pack with his teeth as he returned the cigarettes to his coat and began to pat himself for his lighter. "I'm guessing Allen is another member of the Lady Justice's crew as well?" He asked, finally uncovering the lighter from his back pocket.

Lavi tilts his head in the slightest as an act of curiosity. Perhaps he'll ask about it some other time. "Right, we're also from the same world," he responds, adding a nod.

After several clicks, Zenigata frowned. His lighter was out of lighting fluid. Slightly irritated, he pocketed it as his unlit cigarette remained between his teeth. "Interesting," He replied, reminding himself mentally to look to see if they had lighter fluid at the shops here. "Are all the members here on the Lady Justice from different worlds?"

Smoker casually flicked out his own lighter and lit the cigarette with an arched eyebrow. Disadvantages to arriving in a new world with only what you brought along.

"Most of them are from the East Blue, my home ocean. This world," Smoker clarified. "Tashigi grew up there same as I did. Allen, Lavi, Karen, and a few others are from different worlds though."

A click interrupted them, as Smoker held out his own lighter to the Inspector. Smoke unfurled from his bottom lip as Zenigata looked to the captain. "Thanks. I'll have to get another one in town."

After a long drag, He looked up at Smoker again. "How many of use make up the Lady Justice now?" He asked, wondering how many questions he had raised since he had arrived. He hoped he didn't come off sounding like a curious kid, bugging an adult about why the sky was blue and if ants had ears or something.

"A little over two hundred, plus the non-militia," Smoker answered simply glancing at Lavi with an unvoiced question.

'Over 200? Damn, that's a lot of people.' Then, Zenigata reminded himself that he was in the marines now. Hell, that might even be chump change compared to other fleets that could be out there in the Grand Line. While he still felt like a cop, the Inspector had to convince himself that he was going to be a man of the sea soon and that he'll need to get used to life on the ocean; that is, until he could find Lupin and get back to Tokyo. Even if he was going to start raising sails and swabbing decks, he sure as hell wasn't going to give up on arresting that French prick.

"Well, I should be getting cleaned up then." He said, nodding to Lavi and then saluting to Smoker. "Thank you again, Smoker sir! If I may ask one last question, what hotel are we staying at?"

"Mizu Mizu Canal by the Bay. Ask for the one all the marines are staying at," Smoker answered with a rare smile.

The inspector smiled back. "Mizu Mizu Canal, got it." With that, Zenigata saluted again and left, walking along the cobbled streets and breathing in the salty air from the bay with his hands stuffed into his pockets. Getting used to this might not be so difficult after all.
