Log 001 [Action] Storming your castle

[toujoursfluer]

[There's a troll in your dungeon Robin in your bedroom. Don't get too excited Sanji certain people, she is not there for your entertainment. Perhaps the Malnosso are just messing with her, or perhaps she's just messing with you. In either case, she's obviously a new feather, judging by her garb, but then again perhaps not.]


[Ooc: Time breakage and thread-napping are great. have fun, kids]

Comments

[hiken_ace]

Well. [He stands up, taking Marco off him and putting him on the floor.]

I'd love to stay and watch you guys flirt, but I want to actually have an appetite for dinner. So, I'll leave you to that. [Gets up and walks out. Have fun. And that is totally him avoiding being ganged up on.]

[fierybluebird]

Hah. That kid wouldn't know flirting if it kicked him in the ass. [WATCHING to make sure Ace is really gone, and leaning against his door as a human. Though... yeah... he should probably let Robin go home. Or cook her breakfast. Oh but she'd probably prefer Sanji's cooking.]

Do you want coffee or juice or breakfast or something?

[toujoursfluer]

[Run while you can, Firefist-san. But there is no escape.]

[When he is well and truly gone she smiles at Bird-chan's offer.]

Just coffee.

[A beat]

You really enjoy flowers, don't you?

[fierybluebird]

[Luckily Marco has had decades of practicing being purely deadpan, and so it is that he answers in purely deadpan.]

Yes, yes I do. Why does this surprise anyone?

[He's not spoiled like you Robin, he can't just convince Sanji to go get him fresh flowers by batting his eyelashes. ;; Woes!]

[toujoursfluer]

I think everyone is surprised when they learn something new about someone else. Surprise doesn't mean a bad thing.

[And neither does being cute. It could work in your favor, actually.]

[fierybluebird]

[Siiiide glance. This is completely winning him over by the way.]

You think so?

Oh, but that's no fair, you know something new about me and I don't have one for you.

[toujoursfluer]

Isn't life cruel like that?

[She might give him something.Or she might not.]

Maybe I would tell you something you wouldn't like.

[fierybluebird]

[Grabs her hand mischievously and kisses the top before leading towards the kitchen to make her some coffee.]

You say that like you could. Unless it's that you're married, but I think I'd rather know that than not.

[toujoursfluer]

[She laughs lightly and allows him to kiss her hand and lead her to the kitchen.]

Perhaps I prefer women to men.

[fierybluebird]

[... Okay quick pause for Marco to grab a box of tissues. Nope, totally not sporting a Sanji nosebleed here, nope nope nope. Maybe just a little one.]

Oh~? [A small cough while he tries to cover that nosebleed up and flits about his kitchen getting coffee stuff.] Is that exclusively?

[toujoursfluer]

Maybe I am. [She sits so she can watch him] After all they are soft and make the most...interesting noises. Have you ever noticed?

[fierybluebird]

[A small amused hum to himself as he puts on fake glasses. It helps control!]

I have indeed. They can be rather like flowers themselves. [Let's just not dissect that analogy, okay?]

How do you like your wo-- uh... coffee?

[toujoursfluer]

Are they really? [Giving rolling in flowers a new meaning, are we? At Bird-chan's question, she smiles as she thinks that Sanji would A) know the answer to at least one if not the other and B) Knowing it would definitely kill him. How on earth did men manage to survive so long.]

Strong and sweet. With just a hint of mystery.

[fierybluebird]

[Hiding such a grin at this. Well, "hiding" really, since even his deadpan can't completely save him now.]

I'm a little leery of adding mystery to your coffee, I'm not quite a barista boy, eh? [Gets out cream, sugar, and randomly honey and sets them all the on the table so she can add them to taste.] Well, I'll try one thing. [So he makes sure to hide the coffee while he adds his mysterious hint of hickory.]

Now does that go for guys too or only coffee and women? [Had to be asked.]

[toujoursfluer]

You'll just have to find that out. What's the fun if you know all the surprises?

[And she hasn't told the truth yet. Or has she? You may never know.]

[fierybluebird]

[That's okay, keeps it interesting.]

Oh indeed, I just like to know when I've got a chance, or better yet, a headstart.

[Okay NOW he's flirting. So good thing Ace got out early.]

[toujoursfluer]

I don't know. What do you think?

[And she gives him a lingering look. This is most definitely a test. Let's see if you pass.]

[fierybluebird]

I'm keeping my theories to myself.

But I know I intend to give it my best either way. [Returning that look right back before getting up to pour the coffee.]

Besides, chance or no chance, [Gets out two coffee mugs, one for himself, and after a brief second thought, takes out a third and leaves it next to the coffee maker for Ace.] I'm sure it'll be fun either way.

[toujoursfluer]

[Interesting tactic. Responding to mystery with mystery. And of course determination despite the odds, which she's found she likes very much. The third cup, however, causes a raised eyebrow][She'll make certain of that.]

Are we expecting more company?

[fierybluebird]

I'm leaving it out for Ace. He's probably scared we'll keep flirting in front of him, but he might want some later.

[An apologetic shrug as he returns with the two poured cups.] Little brothers require some looking after even when they insist they don't need it, eh?

[toujoursfluer]

I suppose. [She's never had a little brother and, though perhaps she can count Luffy as one, he's always asked for help when he needs it]

[She takes a sup of the coffee and it's different, but good, and definitely mysterious.]

I wonder how many others like Firefist-san will find their way here...

[No one really she can think to want to see again. She's buried her ghosts for the most part but she's fairly sure others have loved ones they would enjoy meeting.]

/sliiiiiides this is. carry on, i'll just pop in from time to time, my bad >>

[hiken_ace]

I don't need looking after! It's a fact, not me insisting it! [He calls out from his bedroom. Don't mind him, just carry on.

And yes, your little brother is eavesdropping on you.]

lmao

[fierybluebird]

[Smirks quietly to himself at Ace's yelling.] He's always been this way. I'd bring him soup and he'd do the same thing at first. Eternal wildfire. [Marco will never stop though, because it's not about making sure Ace eats or has coffee, well it is, but that's only a small part of it. He knows Ace can fend for himself, he just wants Ace to be surrounded by constant signs of loving affection and support and to know that just because Ace can fend for himself, doesn't mean he has to. It's an ongoing endless other type of war.]

And there are a few other wildfires here, eh? [By which he doesn't mean people actually made of fire; but those who are rash and wild and occasionally get themselves killed with it.] I'm not sure if you were here when Bellemere went home though. [Small frown. Poor Nami. Marco can't even imagine having Whitebeard back just to lose him again. Though, really, he'd be glad for any amount of time, just like with Ace.]

[toujoursfluer]

Ah, so she did leave. [Mothers never do tend to stay around for very long. She wonders why that is.]

[She sips her coffee again, mildly annoyed by Firefist-san's interruption--but that is, perhaps because she hasn't had her caffeine]

Even wildfires can exhaust themselves if they roar too long. [Hint? What hint?]

[hiken_ace]

[He's just down the hall after this, and calls from behind the wall:]

Yeah. That's what happens when they go after a stronger fire. [His tone is serious and pained.You can hear footsteps going down the hall.] Wildfires are always put out eventually. They don't listen. [And that is the closing of his door. He is officially out of the scene.]
