Back from canon update & hiatus [video]

[smokinghunter]

Geez, I've got such a headache. Anyone know how long it's been? Or where the hell the chibi brat in a straw hat is now?

[Smoker's outside of the pokecenter to get a smoke, and all his pokemon are practically clinging on him. It has been since about Christmas after all. Even his gyarados is practically on top of him, though he seems pretty nonplussed about it.]

What month is it anyway? Hey. Anyone who's returned home, what's the longest anyone's gone and come back?

Tsk... I need a drink

[It should also be noted he has sunglasses, a cool new scar over his eye, and his hair isn't spiky anymore! How sad. And <user name="justicereigns" is still my icon and comment account! Sorry for the delay, all.]

Ilex Forest. [Smoker is so proud of himself now.... and completely exasperated about Luffy, but eh, that is a feeling that never dies.]

I'll be out there as soon as I can.

Was that supposed to be, "A lot?" [He understood most of it though. Which also saddens him. It's like he's talking with his mouth full even though he's not. Yuck.]

[video]

[little_anchor]

[He nods happily. Smoker's got this 'understand the idiot' thing down!

Luffy smiles and shakes his head, fanning his mouth again.] Haaaaat! Zha bah-rehs!

[video] 1/2

[justicereigns]

Something about the berries... [Confused stare, why is the chibi so happy with his tongue all fucked up from berries? Oh Luffy...]

[video]

[justicereigns]

[And he snaps his fingers in their gloves.]

At the berries?

[video]

[little_anchor]

[He shakes his head but ends up laughing. Sounds kind of like gargling air.]

Nah! Haaat!

[video]

[justicereigns]

[Shakes his head, though he's all packed up now and jogging lightly into the forest before putting hunter skills to test to look for him.]

What about your hat?

Oi chibi, do you have enough water there? I'm not sure I'd trust the water in the forest. [But he brought... a bunch of water bottles. And his gyarados.]

[video]

[little_anchor]

Nah 'at! Bah-rehs! [He points to the tree, then points to his mouth, then fans it dramatically. Come on Smokey, you can get this one!]

[video]

[justicereigns]

[Yup. This time he nails it.]

You're hot. Feverish, because you ate the berries. [Face palms.] What have you learned from this squirt?

[video]

[little_anchor]

Nah sek! Jas haaaat!

[He fans his tongue again. Ow ow ow.] Brahng a lanch!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Chibi, if you're not sick you wouldn't be hot. And you'd be able to talk properly. If I bring a lunch are you going to throw it up?

[video]

[little_anchor]

FUUUUUUD!

[Trying his best to be excited but ah ah ahhh that hurt-- okay fanning mouth again.]

Nah ganna thaw ap! Brang wada wi'it?

[video]

[justicereigns]

[Exasperated sigh.]

Fine fine. Food and water. But if you get sick, I'm not carrying you.

[video]

[little_anchor]

[And he laughs. He won't get sick, he's sure of it!]

[video]

[justicereigns]

All right, I've got a bento. I'll be there in five minutes.

No more berries.

[video]

[little_anchor]

[And he laughs. You're funny, Smokey.]

[video]

[justicereigns]

I'm serious. [Drags a palm down his face as he's walking through the forest.]

[action]

[little_anchor]

[Thankfully, Luffy did listen! But he's kind of playing with the berries right now, which is better than eating them but not by much. He's making piles of them on the ground and trying to design patterns before Aipy eats them.]

[action]

[justicereigns]

[Scoops up both Luffy and Aipy and hands him the water bottle.]

You are more trouble than you're worth brat.

[But he's relieved Luffy isn't in worse shape. Also check out his new sunglasses, they're awesome]

[action]

[little_anchor]

[And Aipy steals the water bottle but can't open it, so while he gnaws on it, Luffy just touches his sticky hands up to Smoker's scar.]

COOOOOOOL!

[action]

[justicereigns]

[Grins... and takes the water bottle back to open it and hand it to Luffy.]

You think so, huh?

[action]

[little_anchor]

[He nods. Meanwhile Aipy tries to jack his sunglasses. Stop taking away his playthings! And finally Luffy gets the water open... and chugs it empty in a good two seconds.]

You have a scar like me now!

[action]

[justicereigns]

No way. My scar is much cooler. It's bigger.

[Tilts Aipy's hat in Aipy's face and rummages into his backpack to give him the pokegear... :| Totally safe.]

[action]

[little_anchor]

It's cool! Gonna tell me how you got it? Huh huh?

[And he bounces around in Smoker's arms, while Aipy goes almost straight for all the buttons on the gear. Smoker's a pro at dealing with crazy bratlings.]

[action]

[justicereigns]

[Gets out the bento for Luffy.]

Fighting a dragon. [MAKING THAT UP. Because it was from something way more badass than a fucking dragon. But Luffy is like 8, so he doesn't get the weird details about pirates being evil since he'd ignore it anyway.]

[action]

[little_anchor]

A DRAGON?!

[Temporarily distracted from food, TELL THE STORY SMOKEY.]
