i blame strong world and its suits for this idea festering

[flagrate]

Can I say yes to the alcohol and no to the speakeasy AU? Ties and I don't get along very well.

Well, if you're that set on it coming into being one way or another, I guess I can't stop you. Let's just go easy with the tommy guns and the arson. There's only so many people that can get offed before my avoiding everyone's notice becomes unbelievable.

Ace!

What's a speak easy?

[flagrate]

It's a place that sells alcohol illegally.

[gomuningen]

You can't just go to a normal bar?

What're you gonna do there anyway?

[flagrate]

Not exactly. It's complicated.

Drink, dance, listen to good music... maybe gamble and do some business. [ "business" ]

[gomuningen]

Eeeeh, It can't be like that. Where are you anyway?

What about eating?! A good place like that should have loooots of meat!

[flagrate]

Nowhere right now. The speakeasy's one of those "might happen in the future" things.

Eh, there'd be some food, but probably not enough to feed you with your bottomless stomach.

[hiken_ace]

I've got some alcohol right here if you want it. [Sup, me. Got some good bottles of sake and rum here.]

[gomuningen]

Oooooh. One of those things. [Nodnod. He gets it right?]

Doesn't sound like such an amazing place.

[flagrate]

[ ... well this is new ] Don't mind if I do.

[flagrate]

It's not. Too high-class on the surface for my tastes. I'd have to wear suspenders. [ oh, the humanity. ]

[hiken_ace]

[Yeah, don't see one of these everyday.] Sake or rum?

[gomuningen]

Neeeeeh, they don't have enough food, that ain't a good place to go...

[Wait a minute.]

S-Suspen...

[Cue the laughter. So much laughter.]

Ahaha-- Ace you-- Suspenders!

[flagrate]

[ he thinks for a moment ] I'll take the rum.

[ when in brain-breaking situations, go for the hard liquor. ]

[hiken_ace]

[Here, you get the biggest bottle. Just because he can tell how weird this must be. Ace holds up a bottle of sake, clinking to his other self's bottle.] Kanpai.

[flagrate]

Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up, little brother. You'll end up in an embarrassing clothing situation sooner or later.

[flagrate]

[ clink! ] Kanpai.

... So I'm guessing this whole thing [ he makes a wavey hand gesture at the two of them ] loses its weirdness after a while?

[gomuningen]

Naaaah. It won't matter, so long as there's plenty of meat!

[hiken_ace]

Eventually. You get used to seeing doubles of yourself around here. Though, ah... some of them are lucky enough not to have this. [He points to his chest where a large burn scare takes up a majority of his chest. There's one on his back to match the front one, too. Ringing any bells, self? Yeah, he's going to take a large gulp now.]

[flagrate]

[ pause. luffy probably wouldn't care overmuch if he was in a frilly dress as long as there was meat, would he? ... damn. he shall have to get his revenge some other way. ]

Which is better, meat or adventure?

[flagrate]

[ oh, that rings lots of bells. and calls for lots more alcohol. ] Lucky bastards.

[gomuningen]

[Keep thinking on it, Ace!]

Nyeee, don't be stupid, Ace! You can't have meat without adventure!

[hiken_ace]

[He'll hand you a bottle of rum with a touch more alcohol. And by "a touch", I mean 20% or something, I am underage and what is alcohol.] ... you're telling me.

[if_its_a_boy]

[Yo, have a mama again, she's missed you.] Ace, I think you would look very handsome in a suit and tie.

[omg can she take you shopping. *u*]

[hollower]

Depending on the style, Fire Fist-san, I think a suit would, hm...suit you. Horohorohoro.

[Sup, Ace, you probably aren't at all familiar with her, but Perona certainly knows you and your idiot brother and his crew. Thankfully though, she's not thinking about them - that'd end badly - and instead trying to imagine Ace in a suit and tie. Hm, hm...not bad. Not bad at all, if it were dark and elegant with a gothic feel.

But, y'know, just pretend you got complimented by a pretty girl. Or something. :\]

[flagrate]

Really? It doesn't seem like my kind of a thing.

[ he prefers to not wear shirts. or to wear them unbuttoned. he's fire, he gets hot if he wears too many clothes!! that's a valid excuse, right? ]
