Hot Spring Party & Luffy's Birthday [Video]

[smokinghunter]

[A slightly unusual sight for you all. Smoker and Luffy are hanging out at the hotsprings, a pirate flag backpack sits in the background while Luffy splashes about noisily. Smoker looks practically asleep, up to his neck in hot water, though every so often he opens an eye and hooks the kid back by his floaty device to keep him from drifting too far. By the time Smoker notices the pokegear is recording, he's about to shut it off when he thinks better of it.]

I'm making ice cream for the brat's birthday later if anyone is in the Ecruteak vicinity, feel free to drop by. We'll be -- What the hell is that?!

[ATTACK OF THE GRIMERS! They start bubbling up from the water and soon they're flooding everything!]

Why? It's probably slimy. Tch... look who I'm asking.

[Noooo but Smokey he almost touched it!]

Think it's a pokémon? Maybe I can catch it!

[justicereigns]

[Gross!]

Fine, but then you better get a pokeball if you're going to try. [Picks him up and puts him out of the water.]

Kaaay!!

[And once he's on land, he runs over to his awesome new backpack and pulls out two pokeballs. One's empty, a shiny new one ready for the capture.

The other... His Drifloon.]

Get it, Airhead!

[Smoker just shakes his head and gets dried and puts his jacket on, almost instantly lighting up another pair of cigars.]

Still don't know what you see in that thing. It looks like a melted Magellan.

[little_anchor]

A melted Mawhatsit?

[And the Drifloon immediately engages the Grimer in battle. But as there is half handwaving going on all up in this thread, Luffy turns to Smoker.]

You sure you don't want one?

[justicereigns]

He's a devil fruit user made of poison. You'll meet him someday. [Because that totally explains things.]

Definitely sure, those things are gross as hell. And from the sounds of it, we'll get plenty of chances to deal with a lot more of them.
