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've.

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

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.

Re: Private

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

I'll do what I can! For you. Not for him. No offense.

What do you need?

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Ace-san.

I found an old antique chest, I've been looking for it for a while now, but that's going to be where I put all of his other presents. I know that I'm getting him a pair of gloves, I have the style already in mind and I'm getting him a pin... Don't as what of, but just know it'll be funny to see his face, I will send you pictures of it, I promise...

But, I always get him something else and simply leave them on his desk unwrapped. And... I'm not sure what to get him. Cigars would be too obvious, as I'm sure I'd have to order from Logue Town and I don't know who else knows of the place on the ship. However, something simple would also be wanted, something that leave anonymity. ... So I really don't know.

Hm.

Food maybe? If he has a favorite or something? He seems like the kind of guy that could go for food a lot.

My other answer would be a lighter but he probably has a bunch. Or maybe one of those desk toys he could get distracted with? Hm. Let me think. Does he chew his pens?

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hm, perhaps.

... He surprisingly only has one that I know of. Hm. I.. may have an idea for that.

And yes, he does chew on his pens.

Re: Private

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Well a lighter then maybe.

Or those pens with the flavored caps. Then when he goes to chew on it he gets surprised.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hm. Thank you Ace-san...!

...

Re: Private

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

So... flavored pen caps?

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

And a lighter.

Re: Private

[inyourf-ace.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

It should be a trick lighter that burns extra bright and singes his scruff.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

... I was actually thinking of getting him a silver zippo engraved with something he told me once.

But that sounds just as amusing.
