On peer pressure...

[swordlore]

Mun, I don't care what everyone else is saying, you need to take this seriously! If you're going to try this, you need to give it your all! You can't bring me out here just to flounder around without a purpose. I'm a Marine, and you can't take me lightly!

If you're serious, take a look at the game and decide if it's what's best. You know you'll have your own ship to captain at the start of next month, and I won't have you take on more than you can handle. That's not fair to your own crew, and it's not fair to me or anyone else.

What are they captaining?

[He has some THOUGHTS on the rest, but they're complicated and INVOLVED as everything with Smoker's thoughts tend to get, so they can wait to untangle for a little bit.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Oh no the cute one. [totally deadpan. Kill him (again) now]

[yourotherleft]

Oh, look who's giving the pep talks, now.

[enchantressofore]

[ After her mun has fed her a little info... ]

Oh! You are Miss Tashigi, right? Smoker's second in command?

[ She might be a little excited. SHE'S HEARD THINGS. ]

[swordlore]

Vice-Admiral Smoker! [Salute!]

I was speaking metaphorically, sir! They're a middle school teacher, so their ship 'sails' when school resumes.

[wheres_the_meat]

Oh hey. You're that girl who's got a crush on Zoro or something.

[Or it looks like that with how she keeps going after him.]

[yourotherleft]

[JESUS CHRIST LUFFY DON'T SAY THAT

brain broken. Rebooting marimo.]

[justicereigns]

[Lazily salutes in a "Stop that" way back.]

Oh, yeah? Well, a month is plenty of time. [SMOKER IS BAD. I, HIS MUN, APOLOGIZE ON HIS BEHALF SINCE HE WILL NOT!] And Kuzan took that up recently. He's teaching fifth grade, only he let the younger ones fingerpaint on him at recess.

[swordlore]

Fire Fist Ace!

[And after a brief moment of surprise-]

I didn't come out here just so a pirate like you could take me lightly!

[justicereigns]

Whoever taught you how crushes work did a piss poor job Rubberneck.

[three_swords_stronger]

[JESUS CHRIST LUFFY DON'T SAY THAT

brain broken. Rebooting marimo.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Oh yeah? Where would you like me to take you?

[enchantressofore]

...

You likely want the thread below this one, sir.

[swordlore]

Roronoa?

[Are all the pirates just coming out of the woodwork today?]

I'd hardly call it a pep talk. I'm just trying to keep him in line and make sure he understands his responsibilities.

[three_swords_stronger]

[no he's got it right] Oi, don't just move threads and blame it on other people.

[that shows a lack of character]

[enchantressofore]

I have not.

[ Who the hell is this idiot. ]

The last I could recall, I did not accuse anyone of having a crush. And my name is not Luffy.

[three_swords_stronger]

I know who you're not [trust him he gets you're not Luffy] But this is where I ended up so clearly you shouldn't be here.

[swordlore]

[Oh, a new face! She gives a smile and nods.]

Yes, I work with Vice-Admiral Smoker often! I'm Captain Tashigi of the Marines. I take it you're one of his new acquaintances?

[justicereigns]

[Jabs Ace in the back of the skull with his jitte.]

[enchantressofore]

Or you got lost.

[followthenose]

W-w-watch out! I've got a gun!

[or to be more accurate a super rubbery captain. THAT COUNTS DOESN'T IT?]

[enchantressofore]

I am! We are working together in his garage there.

I have heard so much about you! My name is Adela, and it is a pleasure to meet you.

[swordlore]

[What.]

[WHAT]

[STRAW HAT LUFFY WHAT DOES SHE EVEN SAY TO THAT. SHE IS BLUSHING AND MOST CERTAINLY PROTESTING]

A c-c-crush?! How could you even think that?! He's a pirate, that's why I'm going after him!

[orangeoutlaw]

[can't unsay what's been said, bitch.]

[getaroom]

If you're trying to talk sense into your mun, you're going to need to try harder than that.
