[Smoker hasn't been around much. A certain little brat went missing and for some reason that sent him into some sort of existential "What am I doing with my life if it's not chasing Straw-Hat?!" crisis. However, given this video, you'd never know it. At some point it got kicked on to show Smoker on his back, fast asleep in bed, with a tiny little 8 (11?) year old Luffy on his chest. Drooling and sleeping. Aww isn't that cute? For about 30 seconds until the drooling wakes Smoker up.]

No Pokemon on the bed.

[Gruff voice, a light shove and then cue epic freak out.] STRAW-HAT!?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! GET OFF ME BRATLING! [Lights go on and more scrambling where Smoker shoves Luffy off the bed and tries to get a towel to clean up.]

Damn brat... disappear for weeks and then show up unannounced. Get your own bed. What the hell? This is why I hate pirates. You're even messier than a dog. Is that food in your hair? Che... when was the last time you ate? [Continues griping for awhile, he's clearly been woken up to better means, but he picks up Luffy and moves him to a couch before getting a blanket to tuck him in. Not that he likes the brat or anything, because he doesn't. He obviously hates him you know.]

Following my justice.

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Heh! Is it fair then?!

[video]

[justicereigns]

It's acceptable.

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Keh! Acceptable for who?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Me.

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Keh! It figures!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Of course. I'm not going to trust anyone else's justice on this.

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Keh! And what if it's wrong?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Tch. It's justice.

[Aka; Never wrong.]

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Heh! The ends justify the means?!

[video]

[justicereigns]

I didn't say absolute justice.

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Then what's the point?!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Tch. The principle of it.

Why are you holding back here? [Believe it or not, this may actually get them somewhere now instead of endless circles.]

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Because there's no point in going all out here! There's no treasure to be found!

[Lineface. Of course there is "treasure". People pick up stuff all the time. Kazooie and Luffy and the ghosts and monkeys and some of the birds steal stuff. Not to mention the money and gold nuggets. But if he says that, it'll be inducing piratical behavior where previously none might have existed.]

[video]

[justicereigns]

[So he'll cautiously force his face to normal.]

What do you consider treasure that would be worth it then?

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Keh... something new! Something exciting! Something I have never seen before! That's what a treasure is!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Then this whole world is your treasure?

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

...Close enough! Keh!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Then how do I know you aren't going to try to steal anything?

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Keh! Then you'd just have to watch if you don't trust!

[video]

[justicereigns]

I don't trust, but I'll stop you if need be, as I said.

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Then go ahead! I have nothing to fear!

[video]

[justicereigns]

You should be.

[video]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Keh! Afraid of you?
