On the possibility of the Fair Folk

[chases_hawks]

Oi! I'm gettin' antsy here. You let me have a go with the wings, and never followed through. I got all fired up for some good fights and to see my crew. The wings…tch. Whatever. But then you dropped the whole thing.

Now you're thinking about fairies. I don't know about all that, and don't really care. But if they put up a good fight, bring it.

[Crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow.]

Like I said. I don't care where you put me. Just--do something already!

-Zoro

The sidhe, child.

Is it wise to pick fights with immortal beings?

[chases_hawks]

[Sid-who now? Zoro skips over the things he doesn't know and jumps right into the words that do catch his attention. Immortal beings, you say?]

[A snort. The last fight they had with a guy claiming a similar status didn't end well...for the guy. Who was not actually immortal. At least Zoro didn't think he was. Then there's Brook, so who knows. Maybe there is something to that immortality thing. Regardless…]

Lady, I dunno about immortal beings, but who said anything about picking a fight? All I'm sayin' is if these, uh--what you said--are strong, and it came to a fight, it'd be a challenge I'd want to take on.

[guardianofthesea]

What's wrong with wings and fairies?

[chases_hawks]

[Placidly.]

Not a thing. S'long as you're a bird, or always had them or something like that.

[Definitely not waking up in someone else's pajama pants with an aching back and new wings that weren't there before...]

[thetruehistorian]

Muns can be such aggravating creatures, sometimes.

[chases_hawks]

[Oh, hey. It's a Robin. You're...different. Have a curious look.]

[But more importantly, they've got you, too.]

[A frustrated huff. Whether it's agreement with what Robin said or because she seems to be in the same predicament as he is, tethered to a mun, or a little bit of both, is anyone's guess.]

...Yeah. If I'm gonna have to do something, I want to do it already. [Waiting around isn't his thing, Robin.]

[thetruehistorian]

I have heard the folk in that place do indeed put up a good fight. Is it that your mun feels she doesn't have the time to give you as full a life as you deserve?

[chases_hawks]

Mm. Then that's good, then. It'll be something to do.

...Nah. Not exactly. I don't think she was ready, before. Now she's just making excuses. [Crosses his arms.] So I gave her a nudge.

:Da

[mikangirl]

...fairies?

[Questioning tone is go, because she happens to know a place full of fairies and Zoro's already been here once.]

^__^;;

[chases_hawks]

[Come on, Nami. He knows you know what fairies are. But. Just in case.]

Yeah. Fairies. They've got little wings and float around doing...stuff. [That helps, right? So knowledgeable, this one.]

There's some place with a bunch of 'em. I might be going there.

ROFL YOU LIIIIVE

[mikangirl]

[...Zoro please.]

Yeah, well. If you end up coming here you're gonna find out in a real hurry faeries don't look like anything of the kind.

finally!

[chases_hawks]

[What? Ignoring that look. He was being helpful, you know.]

Yeah? [Ruining his girly mental image of pastels and fairy dust, here. But. His interest is piqued.]

[Something else filters through, and derails that other thought.]

Wait. ...Here?

[katananokokoro]

Well, you know, sometimes it's nice to have nothing to do.

...

Come to think of it, you look sort of familiar....

[chases_hawks]

Sure. Can't beat a good nap. But there's a difference between a nap and being idle for months.

[A beat. Funny thing. You don't look familiar at all. But, his wanted poster does get around. A proud smirk.]

Probably saw my picture somewhere.

[lordofthesea]

How about if I just kick your ass.

[chases_hawks]

[You. He remembers you. A derisive snort.]

I'd like to see you try.

[lordofthesea]

Oh I will, Squidface. I'd say I'd cut off your fucking head as a warning to others but then I'd have to look at it.

[chases_hawks]

[Squidface? That's new. Arlong might be the first to insult something other than his hair. Regardless, the name elicits a feral grin.]

Oh, I think I'll be doing the cutting, here.

1/2 - SOB I'M SORRY FOR THIS ONE

[mamaterasu]

[Why is there grass growing out of your head?]

2/2 - BUT FFFF ZORO <333

[mamaterasu]

[Oh, right, yes! Fairies. And stuff.

So far, they're a lot like the imps and demons of Nippon, ranging in strength and size. ...Meaning you really shouldn't pick too many fights, grass-head person, it's unwise. Besides, doing nothing and sleeping (and eating) all day is so much better. Less work, too. And safer!

Mm, he sounds like Issun almost, heh.]

dat reaction <3

[chases_hawks]

[It's a white wolf. Staring. At him. If Zoro knew what Ammy was discussing, he'd totally agree. Naps? Sanji's Good food? Yes, please. That bit about safety, though? Not so much. Unfortunately...]

Oi. Wolf. There something on my face? [Or something growing out of his head?]

It is the only reaction for awesome people. <3!

[mamaterasu]

[Danger, unfortunately, seems to follow her (if only because she can't say no to helping others and has an insane sense of justice), so she can understand the safety issue if brought up. But still, humans are kinda squishy from what she's seen...so best to keep them away from the real dangers of the world.

BUT THAT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. Ammy keeps staring at Zoro's head, tilting her head to one side, wondering if something would sprout from his head if she used Bloom on it. Like that one guy in Sei-An City. But instead, she paces right over and jumps up on Zoro, pawing towards his head curiously.

WHAT IS IIIITTT? Marimo?]

[fierybluebird]

You want to fight magical creatures?

[chases_hawks]

[Want isn't quite it, but whatever.]

[A careless shrug.]

If it's a chance to get stronger, then yeah. I want to fight them, if there's a need.

[I.e. Zoro's not going to walk up to a magical creature and punch it in the nose. However. Since their crew always manages to metaphorically punch people in the nose, might as well anticipate the fight.]

[fierybluebird]

[Oh all right. Now that Marco can understand.]

This does seem to be like quite the place for you then. From what I understand, faerie fights are likely to be a common occurrence even on the best of days.
