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.

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

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...!

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Ah... alright then. But if you can't get it from that person maybe someone else can substitute? It won't be the same and it might not seem as good but it might wind up even better instead.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, though. I'm pretty sure that it would be frowned upon greatly if Smoker-san sees a pirate on his boat.

I'll make due, I always do.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I didn't necessarily mean myself. I'm great at disguises and all but I've got 3 other places I'm supposed to try to be at that day.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Just making that clear, Ace-san.
That is a day that I want him to spend without having the chase pirates away from the boat, just to warn you.
But... Thank you.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I'll be good.

Maybe Lavi? Just saying.

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

... Erm. No thank you.

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I could send you some fireworks?

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

...
That I may allow, Ace-san.
Y-you... can call me Shigi-chan if you want... A-as l-long as you only do it in p-private, okay?

Private

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Why thank you Shigi-chan! I'm flattered!

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Y-you're welcome, Ace-san.
U-uhm. ... Would you mind helping me find a few other things for Smoker-san?
I-I... have an idea for one thing, and no cigars, I want to make this special.
