oo1 - Apologies.

[tashigi]

I'm very sorry I haven't been around much... I've been trying to catch up on some things. Such as my training and attempting to try and get through the paperwork and research done on the island we're on... I apologize to anyone who's been affected by my absence.

However, if need be, I'm still willing to train anyone who's interested in learning how to handle a sword, I hear there may be some meitous on this island, so if anyone would like to join me for a while looking for them, they are welcome.

... I believe that is all.

I'm doing well! Putting up Christmas decorations on the Vongola with the others. You? Or do marines not celebrate Christmas?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

T-the ship is already decorated...

H-however... I am... doing things to prepare u-us for something else.

I... am also... t-thinking about what I'll get S-Smoker-san--- Though, that shouldn't matter.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Ohh! Christmas shopping! Sounds fun!

Just a guess but cigars?

I still haven't figured out anything for half of my crew.

What do you want for Christmas 'Shigi-chan?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

H-he has enough of those...

...I s-see....

--!!

PLEASE STOP CALLING ME THAT!!

1/2

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Damn I was hoping you wouldn't notice.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

If it makes you feel better you can call me a dirty pirate again.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

...

...

Please, just... don't call me that.

If I tell y-you what I'd like for Christmas, will you stop calling me it?

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I'd say yes but I might feel guilty lying to a cutie like you.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

...!

I-I...!

...Please s-stop it!

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Alright alright, let me guess. Is it something to do with swords?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

N-no...

I actually... want something... different.

... It's silly, I think. But. I want ... a kiss at midnight.

... Don't tell anyone, please?

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

....

I won't.

But you're making it near impossible to resist the urge to fulfill that wish.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

--!

No thank you, I know who I want the kiss from, but also realize it's almost impossible to get from them. It... makes me upset to even think about. ....

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

... Ahhh I'm sorry.

Sometimes people just try to get away from everything for a little while. She probably misses you and just doesn't know what to do about yet. I'm sure she'll come get you before you know it.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

T-thank you.

I think.

...U-uh... What do you w-want for Christmas, Ace-san?

ooc: yes you can see the strikethroughs

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I really just want to spend time with my brother and my friends. And to set off an ungodly amount of fireworks. Bwahahahaha. Lucci's getting me East Blue rum though.

FFF

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

I-I see...

U-um... Please don't... hurt anyone? And please d-don't set any Marine Ships on fire either in the midst of this?

.. I'm g-glad you'll get what you want... Ace-san.

Re: FFF

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I never set marine ships on fire! I mean except as a distraction if they try to hurt my crew or Pops but most marines aren't too bad. A bit uptight but still pretty good guys, I'm not going to let them die over that.

I'm not so sure I will. But you will, I'm sure!

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

I... most likely will not. But that's not a problem, Ace-san.

Thank you, for telling me that you think some marines aren't horrible people. Usually, all I hear from pirates and civilians is how they paid off some Marines to get themselves out of jail... or how they're horrible people in general.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Nah I know better. Yeah sometimes Pops does bribe some marines but it doesn't last long anyway. I know there's lots of marines like Jii-jii out there. Only less insane. And Luffy doesn't seem to hate your captain so you must be pretty good too.

And it's Christmas. Christmas wishes come true if they mean enough. Or so I'm told.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

I've.

Lost what little faith I had in Christmas wishes a long time ago.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Tashigi...

What would it take to make it come true for you?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Nothing you could do, Ace-san.

I'm fine with it. However, I hope yours come true for you.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

You'd be amazed what I'm capable of.

Hm.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Ace-san... I do not doubt your abilities, but this is something that simply won't happen, no matter how much I want it too. Instead, I'm going to be happy with my make-shift family and perhaps join in to make my family dinner.

It's the least I could do...!
