Homeless, voice testing like *whoa*

[ace_of_hearts]

Now this is familiar. I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised though. I've been gone for awhile and you usually prefer other people's takes on me, if I remember right. [Small laugh.] Not that I'm complaining, it's nice to stretch my limbs and get a little freedom.

Still, I have to wonder at your motivations. Missing someone with manners and a sleep disorder? Those really can't be the best reasons.

At least you're having fun trying to write an app, just make sure you're not being too rash about this. Only one of us gets to be the hothead around here, and I've got the fire to back it up, and you don't. Besides, weren't there other things you were planning to do?

And as for the screen name, I'm not sure anyone will get that reference. Vista doesn't count, his mun came up with it.

Mm...

Looks like my Mun can't get enough of yours. I wonder why that is?

[ace_of_hearts]

Maybe it's my winning smile and charming personality.

[06unwinged]

Maybe. Looking at who else is here in this space...she does like that type.

[ace_of_hearts]

Oh really? Anyone I've met?

[06unwinged]

Probably not, though I think he's met a version of you.

Lupin-Sansei ring a bell?

[ace_of_hearts]

Unfortunately.

I wouldn't say we have much in common.

[06unwinged]

[He felt himself flush at the memory of those insistent flirtations.]

The man's a brat.

[Homura--no, Kagari. He was off-duty. He barely snuffed out the flame that heated his hand under the table. The mere thought of the man...]

But that has no place here. [He lit a cigarette to deflect from his frustrations, using a lighter rather than his powers. Ever the Host, he offered one to Ace.]

[ace_of_hearts]

Tell me about it. [In Lupin's defense, Ace would probably get along better with him under different circumstances.]

[He's amused at the offer of a cigarette. He doesn't smoke except under special occasions, but he takes one at the offer and uses a flaming finger of his own to light it up before extending the hand, completely back to normal to offer a handshake.]

The name's Portgas D. Ace. Nice to meet you matey.

[06unwinged]

Kagari. [He offered a smile, still the host even with all of his stress.] It is a pleasure.

Have you found a way to make these girls listen? I wish mine would let me go back already.

[ace_of_hearts]

Likewise! [Proffers a grin of his own.]

Wait, go back where? To headspace? But wouldn't you get bored?

Hell, if anything, I want to get out of here. I just feel like she's teasing me. All this is just a little taste of freedom that she might not be prepared to back up with the muscle behind it. It's kind of funny really, usually she won't do anything without a lot of conviction behind it.

[06unwinged]

Go back home. I have something that I must do. [Or else there would be no end to the cycle.]

As for my mundane? You spoke with one of her's here already. She's being impulsive again, though these impulses can lead to interesting places.

[ace_of_hearts]

I don't think the muns can really send us home though. It seems to be a little out of their power sometimes.

Eh really? Well, impulses usually do in my experience. [Small smirk and a wink.]

[06unwinged]

[His smile, at the reply, is more bitter.]

That always is the case, isn't it?

At least there's less to worry about here. Just some unwanted stares and loud parties.

[ace_of_hearts]

Hey loud parties can be fun. As for unwanted stares, maybe there's a way to turn the stares into something else?

[06unwinged]

[His serious mood brook with a peel of laughter.]

Ha ha ha ha ha~

I'm sorry-- I know that game, but do you really want to do anything with that man?

...Besides. I think women are better.

[ace_of_hearts]

[Actually he gets a little flustered!]

Err... no... well, I hadn't meant sexually. Not with him anyway. Hah... I just meant maybe you could scare him. It's how I handled a lot of people back in my world.

[06unwinged]

[Blame the company he keeps. Or his job. :|]

Ah. I see.

There's plenty of ways to scare a man, honestly. I've had to do it a few times when they were harrassing customers at the club.

[ace_of_hearts]

Eh really? Usually I just use a bit of fire or punching. [Or trying to kill them... You know, whatever.]

What kind of club do you work at?

[06unwinged]

[He smiled indulgently at the show and lifted a finger in reply-- flame dancing upon it without the disturbance of a breeze.]

I used to work at a club that catered to the ladies...and playing with fire wouldn't have been too wise.

[ace_of_hearts]

Oh hey, you're a pyro too? [Happy grin!]

Sounds like something one of my little brother's nakama would say.

So if not flames, what technique did you use?

[06unwinged]

I wouldn't quite use those words...

But yeah. Usually I'd call security, or scare them down with my words.

Though now I wonder, what kinds of companions do you and your brother have?

[ace_of_hearts]

Fire user? In my world I'm almost the only one, one of my brothers is a phoenix, but his flames are different. But I've met a lot of different fire users around here and old places.

Words scare them? Really?

Heh. Pirates. On both accounts. But Luffy's nakama in question is named Sanji. He's a real ladies' man. All about protecting them and everything.

[06unwinged]

I understand the protecting part. [Though, for him, it was more than just women...] Everyone has something, right? Whether by fire or a few well placed words, there's always something to protect.

'Fire user' works, and we have something in common. Back home I'm also the only one...but I haven't had the pleasure of meeting others who use flames in any way. But, that's life.

...Piracy, huh? That sounds almost romantic. Some of the girls would love hearing about that!

1/2

[ace_of_hearts]

Definitely. Protecting is the most important part of fighting. If you're not protecting something worthwhile, what are you even fighting for?

[Nods.] Is it impossible for someone else to have fire in your world? It is in mine... unless I die. [Kind of a wry, almost grim grin at that.]

2/2

[ace_of_hearts]

[But then he just laughs.] Sanji would be thrilled to hear that I'm sure. And yeah, I do all right for myself as far as the ladies go. My crew's pretty famous, so that helps. [Smirks a little~] So does the lack of shirt I'm told.
