[a shrug. He does feel a little bad about that too. Well the eking out a living thing.]

It was a big place. [and they'd had a rotation going. Sometimes it would be a year or two before they'd hit a place again.]

Anyway it matters but I'm not going to be here forever....

[justicereigns]

Pretend you're going to be here a few years. Humor me and the people who care about you.

[orangeoutlaw]

A few years? [man way to bring the mood down] There's nothing to do here for that long. I'd-- [rather die than stay but wait he does.

It's been a while since he thought about that]

Meh... well... sorry what's your point? [he lost track of it somehow]

[justicereigns]

[Dead silence.]

[Just looks at Ace.]

[This will literally go on for five minutes if Ace doesn't snap him out of it.]

[orangeoutlaw]

........

[waves a hand in front of his face]

Are you okay? Did you fall asleep or something? [pats his cheeks]

[justicereigns]

[Flicks Ace's forehead and goes to a stall to buy food and return with some for Ace.]

[....]

[No, still not speaking.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[eats solemnly watching Smoker. Maybe he broke him somehow. Marines are weird yo.

Well something will happen eventually. Omnomnom]

Tasty

[justicereigns]

[... Ugh.]

[Why rehash what's already been said.]

[Maybe Ace just lived too much in the moment.]

[And Smoker couldn't understand it.]

[Like having no ambition or goals or...]

[He doesn't want to ask if Ace is happy here or not.]

[He just grunts in response.]

Hn.

[orangeoutlaw]

[it's just not where he wants to be that's all. So why bother?]

Thanks. [sucks grease from his fingers] Now what?

[justicereigns]

[You're a pirate, Portgas, sometimes you don't get where you intended. Don't do nothing with it, that's pathetic and weak.]

What do you want to do?

I don't feel like coffee cups yet.

Rollercoaster? Or baseball throwing games? Your Gramps ever show you how to throw a baseball at least?

[orangeoutlaw]

[you're a marine, Smoker. Pirates do as much or little as they like. That's the point of being pirates]

Why would Jiijii need to teach me how to throw a ball? [steals a bite of Smoker's food] I can hit whatever I aim at pretty much.

[justicereigns]

It's a useful skill.

You could create an opposing team to my marines. [He doesn't mind the food theft.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Yeah? Could be fun. [here, have a bite. He holds up a fry to Smoker's mouth, wondering if he'll take it. Almost wanting to see him take it with his lips and teeth.]

But I don't know how to play.

[justicereigns]

I'm surprised.

But I can teach you.

[Ace will be pleased, because that's exactly what Smoker does.]

[Nom nom nom.]

It's not too hard, and I'm teaching Adela and a few others.

[orangeoutlaw]

[that's nice. Why is that nice? Ace isn't sure. But he wants to do it again, so he does. Have another fry. A shorter one this time]

Yeah? Then teach me, Taisa. [gives him a lazy smile with hooded eyes] Give me all you've got.

[justicereigns]

[Noms, and licks and kisses Ace's fingertips lightly, keeping his teeth from biting however, like a good dog.]

Okay, I will.

[It's said casually, but he flicks an amused smirk at Ace, eyes sparking as if threatening to do so in more ways than one.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[that's also good. Even better in fact. He hooks a leg around Smoker's and pretends to hesitate with a fry before eating it himself, sucking the salt off and watching him]

In that case better be prepared for me getting better than you....

[justicereigns]

Good. You can create an opposing team, and my marines will kick your ass.

[They have Coby to pitch for them. Mr. Cannonballs-as-baseballs Jr. himself.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Huh? [he was really into this huh? it was cute] Sure. [though he'd have to teach others how to play somehow.]

Let's do it, Tasia. [noms another fry and absently reaches under the table to run a hand over his leg]

[justicereigns]

The... baseball?

[alakjsdalskdjas]

[He's not distracted, fuck you! But not literally. Unless that was what Ace meant. But even then, not in a fucking amusement park with kids and people around jeez.]

[But it's almost certainly not what Ace meant.]

[Which is why Smoker is trying hard not to blush and failing miserably.]

[Guh.]

[Stupid hand on leg. He can't kick it off either. >:T]

[Stupid brat grrr.]

Yeah... I'm... looking forward to it.

[Except maybe he'll have to have Adela teach him because...]

[Reasons.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Unless you had something else in mind...

[grin grin and slides his hand to Smoker's inner thigh] Want to go for a ride?

[justicereigns]

Y-yeah... yes.

[Shut up.]

[He hates you.]

[Guh.]

Teacups?

[HE'S NOT FLUSTERED, YOU ARE.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Nah... [leans in a little]

How about the haunted house? Dark in there. [molest molest]

[justicereigns]

[Ace you're not helping!]

[Grabs his hand and moves it away >:|] And usually with people in costumes, but if you really want...

[He's not going to fuck you in a haunted house, he is just so dumb he assumes Ace wants to go in there for jump scares and atmosphere.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Don't you like costumes? [laughs and crams the rest of the fries in his mouth before getting up and starting toward the building]

I'll protect you. [he says or something like through a mouthful of fries]
