on his birthday and a very weepy/nervous mun

[sailedfirst]

O-oi... C'mon now, mun! Don't give me that face. You're the one who suddenly decided bringing me out on my birthday is a good idea. And you know, it's totally your fault you're almost out of time now. You've watched my past so often but you still cry over them. Geez... you're a worse crybaby than Luffy.

[Nope, not admitting seeing the happier times with his brothers makes his heart ache. And evil mun isn't even telling him if Ace and Luffy made it safely out of the fire, dammit. He just hopes they did and got his letter before he set out.]

Well, it's still my birthday wherever you are. You better have good plans for me at least, as a gift. And you know what I mean! I want to see Ace and Luffy again.

[Pause.] Wait, why are you making me choose between the Gate and that galleon? [He spent the days after the fire locked up in his room. Nothing special/horrible happened. Besides his bid for freedom, of course. Unless...

Sense of dread? Check. Growing panic? Check....]

Oi. W-what's wrong with that ship? ... HEY! Stop crying, dammit!

[hiken_ace]

Oi, Sabo! [Here is your brother with a big birthday cake on the table next to him. Ssssh this is d_m, I am allowed to do this. Also he is grinning like crazy.]

Happy Birthday! [And jutting a thumb to the air.] An' I hope your mun stops crying soon. [His expression dims a bit.] It's... not something you should think about on your birthday.

[sailedfirst]

Ace! Whoa, where'd you get this?! [Grinning right back at you, bro. And grabbing a piece of that cake and shoving it in his mouth. You never know, a random Luffy might appear and swallow the whole thing down.]

F'aanks, Aechtsu! [Yep, with small bits flying out because he wouldn't be bros with Ace and Luffy without being disgusting while eating. Swallowing now and wiping his mouth with his sleeve, still grinning.] She's done for now. Heh, but I bet she'll be at it again later. Saving the worst for last, she said. Whatever that means.

[He has an idea, but Ace is right. Thinking he'll be caught and locked up again is a horrible thing to think on a birthday. So he shrugs and hands Ace a piece.] Eat up!

[hiken_ace]

My mun made it! [Welp, I had free time, so I seriously made a cake for Sabo. His face lowers a little, and he leans down to give his head a light ruffle.] Eh, just... be there for her, okay?

[But once again, his grin is at full wattage, and he digs in himself.] Don't mind if I do!

[sailedfirst]

Oh? [He turns to you now, and grins happily. Because ASL trio's so badass they can break 4th walls when they want.] Wow, you're so nice, lady! Thanks!

[And now flailing!] Oi, being taller doesn't mean you're allowed do that! [He's ridiculously pleased anyway what with that dorky smile.] Oh, hey, does this mean you're officially the older one now?

[Sabo nods, looking thoughtful.] I get this weird feeling I wouldn't be able to, not for long. But. [He smiles brightly now.] You know me. I tend to stick around stubborn bastards, eh Ace?

[thatsnotcute]

Wh-What--?! Why do I have to mingle with a dirty little child I don't want to I--...being the only one you have from our "canon" isn't an excuse!

[Huff, huff. Guess who got pushed in here against her will! Perona gives the scruffy little boy a long, hard, scrutinizing look as she crosses her arms over her chest. Ch-Child...and he's not even remotely cute at all!

That hat is cute, though. Maybe someday, long the line, she can get a cute top hat...hm~]

[sailedfirst]

...

[Have the dirty little child staring back at you, Perona. You're not the only one who could pull the wide-eyed stare. He's not impressed by your brattiness, he's had worse the first time he met Ace.

Still, mun's being ridiculously happy, so might as well greet her properly.] Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you constipated or something? [... It's probably all that glaring, Perona. Sorry. He'll try again with a smile though.] I'm Sabo!

i love him already.

[thatsnotcute]

EEEEEEHH?! [And down comes the unholy fist of retribution right down on that round little noggin of yours, Sabo. At least it's not an exploding hollow.] WHY YOU LITTLE--MUNNY, DON'T LAUGH! It wasn't funny at all, so shut up! Shut up right now!

And you. [Grinding her fist angrily into that huge melon.] How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know who I am?!

he's the nicest bro, ok? >>

[sailedfirst]

OW! Hey, that hurts, lady! Leggo of me! [r u d e. He's just concerned, you know. Anyway, he's not actually hurt from the fist, because he'd experienced Garp's, thus ruining all fists to the head forever, but he doesn't enjoy it.

So have a wildly flailing kid, Perona.] No! That's why I'm telling you my name, right?! You're being rude by not telling me yours!

[lowkick2heal]

[Mun why did you toss me into here? Because I wanted to.]

Don't worry, you didn't miss much of that kid.

[There mun, I said something.]

[sailedfirst]

[Doctoriiine~ <3 Ahem. Sabo just... stares. He's talked to a ghost girl, and now there's a witch?]

Huh? What're you talking about, granma?

1/2

[lowkick2heal]

[OH NO you didn't---!!]

[lowkick2heal]

[Knuckles, meet head! Yep she just knuckled you down like Garp would on a Sunday morning.]

Actually I'm still quite young brat.

[sailedfirst]

GAH!! [Ok, he feels this one. Geez, what's with women and his head today?

Sitting up now with a fresh, slightly smoking bump on the head.] Geez, why'd you hit me for, damn ol-- [Oops. Sabo's a fast learner though, so...] I mean, you could've just told me, you shitty lady!

[400million]

SABO!!!

-- shishishi, you're so tiny!

[sailedfirst]

SHUT UP, LUFFY!

[Instant raeg. How dare you call him tiny, you're tiny lil bro--waitaminute. Looking waaay up at you...]

Eh?

[400million]

Ah, I forgot it was your birthday.

[ CORRECTION: HE NEVER KNEW IN THE FIRST PLACE ]

Hey Sabo, why do you have to choose between a gate and a galleon??

[fierybluebird]

Oh hey, you must be Sabo, eh?

Happy birthday little matey. [ALTHOUGH HE IS LATE because his mun is made of fail.]

[sailedfirst]

[Hey, a pirate! That's cool--waitaminute, glaring hard at you first Marco.]

You're not one of Bluejam's, are you?

[fierybluebird]

Not a clue who that is, sorry.

I'm Marco, first division commander of the Whitebeard pirates and acting captain for now.

Ace is my nakama so I've heard of you.

[sunny_pirate]

[Why is he here, again? Because it's either him or Blackbeard. Still, he brightens up at the mention of some familiar names.]

Ah, so you're a friend of Luffy-san and Ace-san? It's a pleasure to meet you, then!

[sailedfirst]

[Excuse me, Jinbe. But the kid would just... look at you with awe for a few moments. He's read about the Fishmen and the Merpeople, but those were from the stupid racist books from High Town. He never believed any of those though, and just kept hoping he'd meet some one day and maybe be friends with them.

Oh, but staring's rude. And he mentioned Ace and Luffy so have the widest of smiles, Jinbe.] Oh, they're my brothers. I'm Sabo! Nice to meet 'ya!

[sunny_pirate]

[He's used to the stares - he's not surprised, really. So few people actually see a fishman or a merperson up close, after all. He doesn't see any fear in the child's eyes, though, which is certainly a good sign. It gives him hope - both for the direction that this conversation's heading in, and for the future.]

Nice to meet you as well, Sabo-kun! My name is Jinbe. You should be quite proud - I have met your brothers on my travels, and they are rather remarkable people! As are you, I'm sure.

/throws in this one as well

[mamaterasu]

[Oh, is she being tossed in as well? Is this a thing now? Ammy makes a grumbling noise of complaint - she was napping, darn it! - and yawns wide, licking over her nose afterward. Whyyy did the mun have to wake her up? Ammy was have such a nice dream about Sakuya...and her bikini. ♥♥♥

She rolls over onto her back with a low whine, then completely over, shaking out her fur. Time to investigate, I guess, if she really can't get a good wink of sleep or somethi--oh. Oh, it's a little boy!

Hello there, you're small and kind of cute. Tailwag!]

apparently he's not that hungry, so...

[sailedfirst]

[Sabo has noticed that big, moving fluff of white. What the heck is it even, is there an animal in Mt. Corvo like that--- ah. That tailwag... C-cute. It looks friendly enough, so stepping nearer and smiling.]

Hey there. Wow, you're a big dog, aren't you? So much prettier than Pochi too.

oh, good, now she doesn't have to headbutt him. 8Da

[mamaterasu]

[Big? Well, maybe for a little kid like this, yeah. Ammy continues to wag her tail and snuffles up to Sabo playfully, getting his scent before she sits on her bottom before him and waves a single paw up in the air. Hello, hell--oh.

Pretty? Oh...can he see her markings, too? Most children were able to back in Nippon, so maybe...ah, it doesn't matter. This boy's a good kid - ability to see her true form or not - she can tell that much just by looking at him. He's a good kid.]

Wuuu!
