[Ace is camped on his favorite spot on the beach of Genessia on another pile of driftwood and such that he's been collecting for various Ace related reasons. He doesn't look really happy, though. And he even sounds pissed, voice tight and clipped.]

I'm looking to start a pirate crew. Not sure what the ultimate goal is but for right now adventure, breaking laws, maybe some arson and never paying for anything you eat ever.

If you're interested come and apply in person.

You know where I am.

[it's almost as if he has ulterior motives for this post. But what could they be?]

[ There is a pause, she has to change what she's about to say really fast-- ]

Sorry, not right now. I can see about finding a copy for you later?

[ NOT A FULL COPY. Nehra that was too close, she almost slipped... ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[fortunately for the most part he just thinks she's tired and it's not a huge deal]

Don't worry about it, Red.

Where should I set you down.

[enchantressofore]

[ Phew. That's one crisis averted, at any rate. But, unfortunately, she knows that Ace will not be able to resist saying something in response to what she's about to say by now. ]

... My bed should be fine.

[orangeoutlaw]

Inviting me to your bed already?

[he knows he shouldn't but he can't resist this one]

[enchantressofore]

[ You know what

She's not going to give him the pleasure of a verbal response or her flustering

So she's just going to flick the back of his head for that instead. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[he laughs. ]

Which room is yours anyway?

[enchantressofore]

The first on the left, down the hall.

[ Just going to helpfully point it out now while pretending she isn't blushing. Damn it Ace. ]

I should be fine from there.

[orangeoutlaw]

[he goes and misunderstands a bit what she wanted because he just goes right on in and kneels down to let her off...

And looks around.

This is a girl's room....

It smells nice... Weird.

Somewhere she has bras and things.

S u p e r w e i r d

Her floor is even clean.]

Thank you.

[said automatically because it seems polite??? Though somehow he wonders if he should have knocked]

[enchantressofore]

[ What the... ]

... Are you all right?

[ He's acting weird. She can tell he's acting weird.

And even if it is a girl's room it's probably surprisingly plain. There is a vase on the desk, along with a lot of big and heavy-looking text books, all of them related to automail and one or two novels there, one of which being the copy of Moby Dick Marco gave her. There is some new clothing in the closet, things she hasn't worn in public yet, and perhaps unsurprisingly there is a sword and scabbard in the closet as well.

It might be a girl's room but it's still Adela's room. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[but it's still a girl's room with bras and things.

he wants to try one on his head.

He's not quite drunk enough for that.

And she'd probably kill him.

But maybe he can torment Smoker with it somehow??]


It's a new experience. [bow] Thank you very much.

[enchantressofore]

[ She doesn't get it but okay?

She just stares at him a bit, rubbing the back of her head. ]

Do not worry about it. I should be thanking you for making certain I returned here safely.

[orangeoutlaw]

In that case can I borrow a bra sometime to annoy Smoker with it? I won't hurt it I promise.

[nothing ventured...]

[enchantressofore]

[ What the-- Why does he even -- And what does Smoker have to do with it!? ]

I... Uhm... Do I want to know?

[orangeoutlaw]

I want to wear it on my head and sneak into his room at night and see what he'll do.

[it's not an elaborate plan but you know]

[enchantressofore]

[ . . .

Adela really isn't sure just what she expected.

Seriously, what was she expecting. ]

I... Suppose. Please try not to allow it to get ruined.

[ Ace is strange, really. Then again, maybe she really should embrace more weirdness in her life. He's not getting anything too flashy, a white bra with a little lace. Should probably work for whatever he has in mind, right? ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[oh...


Well he didn't actually expect it to be that easy.

He stares at it.

Stares at her.

It's got lace on it...

He's not sure if he's ever touched a bra before.

it had boobs in it once.

Hers.


Okay this officially got too weird.

He's not sure if he wants to torment Smoker with her boobs on his head.

Because then he'd probably hate himself more than Smoker would hate him...

But it would be so good...

...]

Is that a new one?

[enchantressofore]

Yes it is.

[ Look there's even still a price tag on it. Yang made her get the thing, but Ace doesn't need to know that much. ]

Honestly it will not be missed that much if it does not survive whatever you plan on doing with it... Is that what you are worried about?

[ SERIOUSLY HE'S ACTING WEIRD SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT HOW CAN SHE MAKE HIM STOP ACTING WEIRD ]

[orangeoutlaw]

I'll take care of it. [offended!] I just didn't want your boobs to have been in it because it's going to be on my head...

And that's weird.

[enchantressofore]

[ And that's a face palm from one very red-faced Adela. He had to say it aloud, didn't he? ]

Look, if it helps, I...

[ ... ]

Nevermind, just... No, I have not worn that one. It is fine.

[orangeoutlaw]

Thanks! [takes it and stuffs it in his pocket. Though a large portion is still hanging out but whatever]

Anything else you need? [he wants to make sure she's comfortable before he leaves]

[enchantressofore]

You promising to not let him beat you to a bloody pulp after whatever you plan on doing with that would suffice.

[orangeoutlaw]

[he laughs]

Probably not.

[as long as Ace makes sure the seastone stuff is away from him...]

At most we'll probably beat each other to a bloody pulp.

1/2

[enchantressofore]

[ ...

Yeah she's too tired for this. ]

Then there is nothing I can think of.

2/2

[enchantressofore]

[ But, she will give him a real smile again even as tired as she is. ]

Thank you again. I hope to see you again soon, Ace.

[orangeoutlaw]

[he goes to the window and salutes a goodbye]

Later, Red.
