That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

I have standards, though I wouldn't expect you to know the difference. Who gave you this contact?

[theflashyfool]

[WHY.]

I have plenty of standards!

[crosspurpose]

[ He's asking himself the same thing. ]

Really. And how have those been working out for you so far?

[theflashyfool]

How have yours been working out? When was the last time you were even naked in anyone's bed, huh?

[crosspurpose]

What a terribly interesting question coming from someone who I understand routinely loses track of his body. At least when someone sees or touches mine it's with my permission.

[theflashyfool]

[Ouch. Why hit below the belt?]

It's not... I don't routinely lose track of anything! Forcibly separated, but look at me... I'm all back together again.

[crosspurpose]

[ You don't get to bring up his sex life and then cry about getting hit below the belt! ]

Fortunately, I'm not looking at you.

If the standards that you have led you to that particular debacle, of what use were those standards?

[theflashyfool]

[Come ooon, just a little bit of friendly ribbing!]

I'm not that bad to look at.

[You know, nose aside...]

It was that straw hat kid and Arlong. I feel like those are exceptions.

[crosspurpose]

[ He plays rough, to say the least. Try ribbing a real hawk and see what happens. ]

I couldn't care less how you look. It's that you're such a pathetic excuse of a pirate that I don't like.

What do you know about the straw hat boy?

[theflashyfool]

[He'll decline tussling with an actual hawk, thank you.]

Did you just call me pathetic???

Enough. What difference does it make? He'll get himself killed one way or another. You have a run in?

[crosspurpose]

We met. Apparently he's going to be the new king of pirates.

[theflashyfool]

He's going to die like the dumbass he is.

[crosspurpose]

You seem upset.

[theflashyfool]

Why would I be upset? He won't be the first kid who thought he could compete with actual pirates.

[Except Luffy has a certain... spark, he's got to admit. And luck on his side.]

[crosspurpose]

Do you like him, then?

[theflashyfool]

The straw hat kid? He took my map and whined about Shanks. He's a nuisance.

Don't tell me you like him.

[crosspurpose]

It begs the question of why he isn't dead if you think him so easily dispatched.

What did he say about Shanks?

[theflashyfool]

Who says I won't kill him?

The hat. I noticed it belonged to Shanks. I guess he left an impression on the kid. Still seems pretty enamored with him.

[crosspurpose]

So he didn't actually say anything of him.

You let a novice cut his teeth on you and take what was yours. How is that not pathetic?

[theflashyfool]

He screamed about the stupid hat. Thought I was gonna destroy it. Do I need to spell it out for you?

It's not pathetic!! Besides, you had a run in and didn't kill him? How are you any better?

[crosspurpose]

I didn't want to kill him and he didn't take anything from me. We could not be more different. Do I need to spell it out for you?

[theflashyfool]

I'll take care of him next time I see him. Arlong got in the way of my plans.

buggy ilu I am sorry

[crosspurpose]

Let me ask you a very fair question, Buggy. Is there anything that you do successfully? Aside from setting the bar for piracy on the floor, that is.

it just wouldn't be the same if mihawk didn't bully him!!

[theflashyfool]

[Oh, that is a kick right below the belt. The amount of seething and insult Buggy is feeling right. The absolute gall...]

Did you really just respond to insult me??? You have no idea what I've done or what I'm planning!

it's the circle of life

[crosspurpose]

[ This is actually kind of fun. It's like playing with your food and stirring the pot all at once. ]

A bold new way to humiliate yourself, no doubt. But that is the role of a jester, isn't it? Perhaps it's fortuitous after all that you now have a boy king to serve.
