There’s a vineyard on this island. On the other side, away from town. What the hell. Clubs, bars, hotels, a pretty fucking decent food market, and a vineyard.

Can we never leave?


Unrelated, but – turkey, ham, or both?

Oh, and I need a head count. Mashiro-san, you guys are staying through Thursday at least, right?? ...And you, Ace?

I feel much better now. You were very helpful.

he flailed and screamed like a girl the whole time

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

THAT isn't the kind of help I was offering!!

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

My head is bruised.

LOL

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Take your lumps like a man—it's character building. You should be thankful; isn't that what this holiday's supposed to be all about?

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Oi. Maybe I'd be more thankful if I didn't have friends who PHYSICALLY ABUSE me for no good reason!

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Abuse? Hah. It's good for you.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

HOW.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Raising your tolerance threshold. And maybe helping control your 90%-of-what-comes-outta-my-mouth-is-bullshit disease.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

My tolerance for what, HORRIBLE NAKAMA??

And...hey. I only spoke 100% TRUTH, it's not MY fault you took it bad. I was just trying to help, you know!!

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Tolerance for hardship. You joined this crew to get stronger, right?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

...Have a good Thanksgiving?

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

YOU shouldn't be the one giving me the hardship!! Even IF you think that's helping, why is it that when I try to help I get tortured?? Doesn't seem very fair to me.

...yeah, it was pretty good, actually. I mean, aside from the food. It was...well. Nice, mostly.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

S'practice for the real thing! M'easier on you than th'Marines would be. Aaaand again, we come back to the bullshit thing.

Whaddaya mean, it was good aside from the food?

Only mostly nice, huh.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

HEY! Just because you don't want to hear it, doesn't mean it's not true! I guess it just must be a sensitive subject for you, huh?

...maybe that came out wrong. The food was awesome, obviously! I just meant...it wasn't the ONLY thing that was good. It's a cool idea for a holiday.

It just...there was still some awkwardness, that's all. It was really good other than that!

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

...Why do you keep coming back to this? You've already been noogied once.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

THERE YOU GO AGAIN WITH THE NOOGIE THING!!!

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Would you rather I just humor you? Because I might, if it'll get you t'finally shut up about this. Hair and looks, for fuck's sake.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

...oh. Is THAT what we were talking about? I forgot.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

...problem?

done

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Mm. Yeah, I guess so. Better than a lot of other holiday themes.

Still, huh. Saw that you at least commented on Lucci's last post, though.

Re: done

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Well. You know. Thinking about what you're thankful for...it's a nice idea.

Sort of? I don't know. Anyway, he's my friend, you know? It was starting to feel really weird not talking to him at all, but then TALKING to him was kind of weird too...

I guess that part is just gonna take a while.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Can't argue with that.

You two good friends? I know he and the cook are, but...

Sucks. But s'better than staying like it is.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty good. ...actually, I think I was kind of his first actual friend here, besides Luffy. Weird how that happened. I know you don't...remember any of that, but...what's it like, having him around now? Have you guys talked much?

It's just kinda... Hm. Well, I think me and George are okay again. Mostly. And I KNOW he's not gonna--

...I guess I just can't help thinking about...how close things came to getting all messed up when I'm talking to him, you know? Not like I'm BLAMING him, he just...reminds me.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Huh. That was brave of you.

...It's weird. Even just seeing him around, but—on top of that, how much shit he seems to be smack in the middle of right now. Was kinda adjusting to him by just—fighting and talking some, and then he—uh. Then all of this other crap happened, and. I dunno, I haven't really talked to him since around my birthday.

Well...that's good? That you can trust him not to, whatever. Can't let coulda-beens and maybes trip you up forever.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

I dunno about that. I mean...it took me forever to even talk to him in person. I just started talking to him on here at first, and THAT was just because I promised Luffy I would. But. Surprisingly, he turned out to be a good friend, even if he's a little weird about stuff sometimes.

O-oh, you mean the--with me and George? It's not exactly fair to blame him, though. Things would be a lot SIMPLER, I guess. But it's not a simple situation.

That's the thing. I really DO trust him, just like I trust you, or Luffy or Sanji or George or any of you guys. If you would've asked me about that even a few months ago, I don't think I would've been able to say that--I mean. He lied to everyone for YEARS, that was...a big part of his job and who he WAS, so trusting him seems like it should be stupid--but, somewhere along the line, something...changed. I can't even say WHAT, because it wasn't a sudden thing.

Anyway...it's moot now. The whole...issue with him and George. So I don't wanna dwell on it. It feels weird not being able to talk with him like normal, though. I guess we just...have to wait for that weirdness to wear off. It'll happen.
