I think I'm just about done with this island.

Although it's kind of fucking hilarious we'll be here for tomorrow. Least we don't gotta worry about decorating.

...On a completely random note, I can't seem to find Shitty Bug. Er. Help?

I'm positive the whole "turn the sin against the sinner" spiel is just for show. It probably runs on strong emotion or biochemical reaction.

Well, now I'm just doing it to annoy you.

...Uh-huh. Hey, so speaking of lust...

I know. Got you to stop, though.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

Oh, whatever shall I do.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Looks like we found the next island.

I'm sure you're distraught.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

So we did. And it has, as you mentioned, places to go.

Heartbroken.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

You up for going to one of them tonight?

Too bad there's no stupid symbol thing for that.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

I'd love to.

</3?

Zoro apparently went looking for a bar and got lost and now Michiko-chan's going to find him and I was gonna go with because booze was sounding kind of fucking awesome - I could meet you after? Or I could bail on them. Or you could just come with.

...Damn you.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

If you wouldn't mind me tagging along, booze sounds good to me too at the moment.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Mm, don't mind at all. Meet ya on deck!

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in a minute.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Heh. So that was fun.

Sorry, I'm bored, so you get to deal with me.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Mm. Yes it was.

That's all right; I'm bored too.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

We definitely need to do that again before we leave this place.

What're you doing?

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

I agree. I take it you're in better shape than the first time?

Right now? Just wondering what to read next. I was thinking of asking Miss Robin, so we would possibly have something to talk about. You?

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Mm, yeah. Definitely still feeling it but it ain't anything bad.

Oh yeah? Still think that's a good idea. I was writing out a menu for tomorrow.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Good. Hm. You're a lot of fun, you know.

...You really do love cooking for people, don't you.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I mean, it's not like I get too many complaints, so I assumed as much. But seriously?

...Well. Yeah, of course.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. I certainly wouldn't have asked for another go if I didn't mean it.

Why? Out of curiosity.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Ha...right, point. To be honest, I wasn't sure I'd like it enough the first time to wanna go again, but. I was way wrong on that account. So. Kudos, you're fun, too.

I dunno, I guess...I mean. A lot of it's probably for my own benefit. Making something that other people enjoy, it's a real ego booster. But it's also...comforting, in a way. Knowing that everyone here is eating and eating properly at that. Food's so fucking important - guess I just like knowing that I'm helping to keep you all healthy or something.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Not that I really get complaints either. What made you decide to try it, anyway?

Hmm. I just wondered, because...well, I'm not sure why I wondered. I suppose I feel like I don't really talk to people. Not about...themselves. I was trying to find common ground with Miss Robin, but I don't have common ground with many people at all, do I.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Do I need a reason aside from being really fucking horny? Five months, remember. I mean, I guess I could've waited for the next island, but... I dunno. Maybe I was...curious. And it's kinda nice to do it with someone you actually know sometimes.

I don't think you necessarily have to have common ground with people... You can form bonds other ways. Just being able to talk about nothing in particular with them or sparring or whatever. I dunno.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

I do know what that's like. The familiarity part, I mean. Well, the horny part too, but that's not what I meant. Because with someone you actually know, it can be...well, fun. With someone you've just met, it's more like a business transaction. And I normally end up paying for it in drinks and a room because they inevitably turn out to be a pirate too who was hoping to go home with someone who has a house... Anyway, it gets to be a bit tiresome after awhile, especially because you never know what you're getting.

True. It's just that lately - hmm. I feel...isolated, I suppose. And I'm used to that, and it's fine, but with people I care about, and in this small a space...it's awkward. Actually, I don't know why I'm bringing it up to you. You probably don't want any part in any of this. I apologize; forget I said anything.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

An exhausting business transaction, even if it IS worth it. I still gotta do the whole song-and-dance routine to get a girl interested and make sure I'm not crossing any boundaries or being too rude and then I always end up spending most of the night focusing on them and making sure they're happy and enjoying it - and then I still gotta pay for the drinks and a room, too! Geez.

What the hell, don't apologize. You can talk to me, I don't care. You're feeling isolated?

The advantage to picking up men is that nine times out of ten, plain directness gets the job done. The disadvantage is that on a lot of islands, men do not appreciate attempts at picking them up. I tend to like women better anyway, but it is...difficult. And it hardly matters because, regardless of gender, anyone who looks interesting is going to turn out to have maybe 50 douriki at most.

...I'm not sure that I really want to talk about it. It's rather pathetic. Going out the other night with you and Zoro and Miss Michiko was a nice change of pace, and I appreciate the invite, but aside from that, I've mostly been trying to stay out of everyone's way. I'm not exactly popular right now, if you've noticed. If I could have kept my mouth shut...
