Voice testing to the max

[spring_swords]

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.

What's all this about royal treatment?

[Pretending to be all arrogant and crap instead of instantly glomping her like they both know he will in a countdown of 10 seconds....]

[spring_swords]

Something you're not going to get, birdbrain.

[TO HELL WITH WAITING come here, big bro, let me love you.]

[fierybluebird]

[Phoenix tackles! And messes up her hair. For being bratty.]

And they call me the bratty one. [Feathery headbutt of love.]

[spring_swords]

[WOW, KEYWORDS. Though she will at least hug him. Stupid feathery nutter, she loves you so much.]

I got it all from you!

[xenon]

Ah-ha! It's always good to see the mundane adventuring around a little. An invigorating experience to finally make contact.

[fierybluebird]

[LOL This is why she's his secret favorite (sister).]

Damn right you did. [SITS ON HER. Like a plump birdie jackass big brother.] Stealing all my style~ [Still teasing though since she's got her own style obviously~]

You know I actually had someone read my fortune recently and they promised I'd be laughing again with you guys before I knew it, but I really didn't believe it until just now. [Phoenix hug for Haruta!]

[spring_swords]

[...Wow, you talk funny.]

Ah...right. [Seriously, what did he even say just now. Mun? Help? D8] She's the adventurous type. Or in her words, the "morbidly easy to enable" type.

[spring_swords]

[Oh my god, get off, she is not an egg. You are totally the worst brother ever forever okayokay. ....Okay no, but you're still getting shoved off enough for her to smack your beak gently.]

Can't steal something that doesn't exist, Marco. Maybe Vista will lend you some of his, though. Or Izou down there. [Cackle. She's glad to see you, really, this is exactly how she shows her love. Really.]

Eh, eh? I never though you one for fortune telling...though I don't mind the outcome.

[fierybluebird]

[PUFFS THOSE FEATHERS UP IN A HUFF.] I have plenty of style! Great style! Style so flashy none of you young'uns can keep up!

[Another feathery headbutt of love.]

Eh I'm not one for fortune telling, but a friend was at it so I had to give a try, eh.

[spring_swords]

[HAHAHA, just like she remembers. ♥ He hasn't changed one little bit.

And again, Haruta will shove Marco's head away, but pet and ruffle up his feathers. Revenge is well known with the crew, after all.]

You're making friends?! Stop drinking seawater, Marco, it does things to you. [Shove. And hug. Haruta's glad you're getting out and stuff. Don't coop yourself up and all that. And introduce her.]

[fierybluebird]

[Ohhh pets! .... AHHHHH RUFFLES?! alskdjaslkdj]

[Flapping wings at her in irritation!]

Blame Ace. My first month there I barely talked to anyone and just slept up on the roof. Then Shanks decided to move into my place, and then I kidnapped Ace when he left and Ace kept making me meet people. Fiend.

[More flaps and a hug and maybe messing up her hair again. Deal with it.]

[spring_swords]

[SERIOUSLY THE WORST BROTHER EVER. But Haruta's just going to laugh and wave him off lazily. She's not as sour about being messy as others may be.]

You actually shared a room with Red Hair?! Eh, now I know something wrong with you. [And socializing, too, what is this blasphemy?! But she's glad, Marco needs to get out more.] And where is "there", anyway? The one place that lady's going on about?

With my...clone? [Staring at you now. Explain. B|]

[fierybluebird]

Whoa. Whoa. No. No.

Apartment. Not room. I'd kill myself if I had to share a room with him. Luceti's on ground, eh. So buildings, not ships.

I'm in a couple of other places too, but Ace is in Luceti. [Flicks his tail.] Norma too. She's like you. Or your daughter. I swear if she gets anymore like you I'm going to demand to know the father. She's adorable though. Another little sister and all feisty like you.

[xenon]

((Fortunately, Jake acknowledges that he talks like a proper gent' from the 1960s.))

Easy to enable isn't so bad. I'd say it opens quite a vast gateway to all sorts of possible shenanigans. Often the fun sort.

[spring_swords]

[SNERK. Okay, apartment sounds a bit better than room, but even still...Haruta is amazed that both of them survived the ordeal. Honestly, the girl just cannot imagine such a thing occurring without Shanks losing his other arm or something.

Though her joking tone takes a nosedive at the mention of Ace, and her smile lowers considerably. She drops a hand on his head, both to ruffle him and to hide his eyes long enough for Haruta to get a real smile back on her face.]

Ah, seems like you're got your hands full... But my daughter? [C'mon, bro, be serious.] Like you and all the others would even allow me to have a boyfriend, let alone a child!

[spring_swords]

[Okay, that Haruta understands, and her grins wide. Shenanigans? Oooh, does she know shenanigans - and how! Her poor brothers and father feel the brunt of those shenanigans most of the time.]

Aye. That I can agree to! Lady has a good eye for mischief.

[fierybluebird]

[Shanks was a perfect drunk gentleman. Mostly Marco just came to fetch him from the bar at night and Shanks made sure Marco didn't go on suicidal dive bombs to kill Blackbeard. But yeah, he's gonna... avoid mentioning that last part because wow.]

She even looks like you. [A little. Where it counts, not as froggy, but don't worry, Marco loves your froggyness.]

And hey! It could happen! You're sneaky! I mean, I think I'd notice if you were suddenly spending less time with us, but time here is really weird.

[frostythesnowpheasant]

[In this thread, a nice civil discussion that will most likely not blow up in their faces in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER.]

... 12th division commander Haruta.

[xenon]

Heh heh. I say with a mun like that you'r bound to have a good time.

oh my god i got so excited just how i can't ahdjkcd

[spring_swords]

[Yeah, this'll blow over well. So very well indeed. Haruta's just putting her hand on the hilt of her sword and sneering at the guy because she's just oh so happy to see him.

And it's opposite day. Or...something.]

Aokiji.

[Haruta reserves no formalities for people like you.]

[spring_swords]

She gave me a chance to catch up with my brothers, that's good enough time as any I could ask for.

[spring_swords]

[Y-Yeah, please to be not mentioning the names of various individuals we want to gut and make into chum kthnx. Haruta's content in just talking with her brother about something a little more light-hearted. ...Even if it is a bizarre subject.]

Eh...you're not replacing me are you, Marco? [BECAUSE THAT HURTS. And Haruta is irreplaceable and 100 times better than anyone ever the end.] Though if you think I'd leave my family for any one single person, you've been away from me longer than I thought.

[Shove. Dodo-bird, thinking she'd give up a single second to anyone other than her brothers and sisters.]

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi Lilypad.

[Glomps right back on her.] None of my family are replaceable. I said daughter, not you. You will forever and always be my favorite moe sister. [Tugs a cheek and snuggles happily.]

And I didn't say you'd leave us, I said less time. I'm pretty observant you know. [To... a degree. That's something he'd notice at any rate.]

[xenon]

Brothers, you say?

HE HAS COME TO... possibly crash on your couch man, he's unemployed now

[frostythesnowpheasant]

[So. This was who the mundane decided to throw him at next. It couldn't have been an old friend or even someone he's on vaguely good grounds with. It had to be Haruta, known in marine circles by her derisive nickname "The Little Prince", and she was most likely NOT going to be interested in remaining nice and neutral.

Time to put on the patented Aokiji charm!]

Kuzan, these days.

[At least he would have, if he had ever given half a damn about appearances.]
