Feeling a little bold, aren't you, lady?

You don't have much to go on, but I appreciate the effort... It's good to see someone looking my way for a change! Considering the two show-offs I'm sure you know about. [Haruta grins, and then bursts out laughing as she leans back with her hands behind her head.] That right?! Marco's the one that got you interested in giving me a try, huh? Hahaha!! He better not expect any royal treatment from me for it!

Yeah, yeah, I know... [She sees Izou down there, too, no need to bounce around like that, mun, god. 8|] Maybe I'll pay him a visit later, who knows? It's good to see some of us popping up now and again. S'pecially Pops n'Ace...

Oh, and nice name you picked out, lady. Clever - I like it. Much better than your other attempts.

--!!!! Jumping jehosephats!!!!! Could one woman really give birth to so many children!? Or even two women for that matter!

[spring_swords]

[LOL there's the reaction she was hoping for, and better than she even expected!]

HAHAHAHAA! We're adopted! Pops took us all in and we joined his crew - as his sons and daughters. You'll never find a better crew, a better family, than that of Whitebeard!

[xenon]

Whitebeard.... Ah! So you're like a band of pirates then?

[spring_swords]

Not "like", mate, we are pirates. I'm the twelfth division commander of the crew. My brothers take care of the other divisions and Pops is our captain. [Is. Not was - never ever "was". The spirit of Whitebeard will never die so long as the crew remains.]

[xenon]

Great Scott!!! You must be an old veteran when it comes to adventure and exploring then, huh?!

[spring_swords]

Haha, you're right. I've had my fair share of adventures on and off ship. [Fond memories, every one.]

[xenon]

Could I hear some, perhaps...?

1/3

[spring_swords]

Well, there was that one time me and Ace painted an egg and put in in Marco's bed to make him believed he laid it... [Snerk, ah...memories. Beautiful, beautiful memories.]

He tried to hide it, but very little is kept secret on the ship. Pretty soon, the whole crew knew what happened, and we made fun of him for a while.

It was great.

[spring_swords]

Then Pops found out and told us to stop, but he also started poking at the egg, too. And it cracked! [L M A O.] Hahaha, you should have seen how Marco reacted! Just like an agitated mother bird! He squawked and I think he was even molting a little! Because he thought Pops killed it! Killed his baby.

[TEARS. TEARS AND LAUGHTER.]

3/3

[spring_swords]

...But then the egg hatched into a lizard and we were all really confused.

[fierybluebird]

[Jumps on here, practically tackling.]

DON'T TELL THAT STORY!

[xenon]

((Keels over from laughter because HI-LAR-I-OUS.))

HAHA. Oh come now. That's a swell story!!! Shoot, I'd tell that story for ages to come!

[fierybluebird]

[Shoots John a small glare.] I recommend that you don't.

[xenon]

((Jake, actually, but same difference.))

W-woah woah! I'm just saying, it's kind of a great story! ((weep the angry phoenix.))

[fierybluebird]

[[Argh I totally meant Jake, honestly! SORRY ;;]]

How so?

[Don't worry Jake, Haruta will tackle Marco and make him stop being an intimidating jerk soon enough.]

[xenon]

((It's okay. i say every name BUT jake when i address him. it's p bad.))

It's funny, and that's the sort of thing you should share, of course! Maybe it's a bit embarrassing, but everyone goes through it, naturally. I've had a few moments myself, and you think back on it and HOOOOOO boy talk about a mess worth remembering!

[spring_swords]

[AHAHAHAHAHAAA~!]

WHY NOT?! IT'S A GREAT STORY!

[fierybluebird]

[asdklajsdkjasl]

[Grabbing baby sis with an arm around the poof around her neck and tugging her close to mess up hair.]

And should I tell him about the Easter we wound up with a hundred frogs on deck?

[spring_swords]

[H-Headlock!! Unfair, big bro, unfair! She'll...she'll tell on you! Or just wave her arms and laugh, attempting to fight free.

Until he mentions that. Haruta blinks, scowls, and stops. That's...that's just mean.]

...Sorry I embarrassed you.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs and kisses her cheek.]

Cute Haru-chan.

[xenon]

PFFFTTTTTHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Oh great Scott!! That is a story for the ages!!

[spring_swords]

HAHAHAAHAHA--ISN'T IT?! One I'm not soon going to forget! Marco either, for that matter!

[xenon]

No kidding!

Hoo boy it sure sounds swell to be a pirate. ((DAY DREAMS. He's seen movies were pirates are the good guys, so he's totally apt to dig the idea.))

[spring_swords]

Aye, it's...something.

[You can't describe it. The openness, the freedom, the thrill. The waters of the New World were more tumultuous than any of the Grand Line, and Haruta enjoyed the adventure of sailing - through sun, snow, storm...anything. She had her family through it all, there was nothing better to her than that.]

But don't think we laze about when and where we please, mate. We have to protect our territories, and guard ourselves, too. Pops' name is infamous on our seas, many try to do him in. [And have failed. He only passed because...because of those bastards at Marineford. If haruta could, she'd cut their throats one by one.] And my brothers and I, too, have to watch out. I've had a scrape or two myself...a few times.

[xenon]

Nonetheless! It sounds like a great way to go about it! The wide open seas and the smell of the salt in the air! Protecting your captain and facing all the chumps who dare attack a man's ship! Oh boy what I wouldn't give for that sort of adventure!

((What he wouldn't give for ANY kind of adventure?))
