Ah? You still remember me. I'm quite flattered; you could have picked any of those cute rookies, but you chose to play with me for a while.

How cute of you, mun. I'll be sure to give you something special later, alright?

Comments

[notbloodylikely]

Not only rookies are cute, you know.

[overcharging]

Is that so?

[notbloodylikely]

Not like someone suddenly stops being adorable or, for example, drop dead gorgeous, once they get some experience is it?

[overcharging]

My, my, what mature point of view, Stripe-chan. But don't you think people are so much cuter when they're easy to tease?

[notbloodylikely]

Eh...? Stripe...Chan?

[That'd be finding one of his two major teasing weaknesses right out of the gate.]

Ah-hem. Anyways, I can see that point of view, but maturity has a lot of charm too, doesn't it?

[overcharging]

A different kind, but I suppose maturity does have it's charm. Being young is still much more fun, though. You can do whatever you like without concern.

[notbloodylikely]

Oh, don't tell me that around a woman like you. I might just take it as an invitation.

[Yeah he's trying to flirt with her. He has been since the start. He's just crap at it.]

[overcharging]

[Oh, Shakki's noticed. She noticed a while back.]

Who says it isn't an invitation, Stripe-chan?

[notbloodylikely]

[Oh. On one hand, the super hot chick is apparently saying its a-okay to just go to town. On the other, she keeps mentioning the hair.]

...It's Feda, actually. Maybe if I accept that invitation I can get you to scream it a bit.

[overcharging]

['Stripe-chan' is just her way of calling him a cutie-pie. Really, he should be flattered he gets one of her precious nicknames.]

Feda-chan? I've never heard that name before.

[Shakki's never going to let up with the '-chan' suffix. It's sort of her thing. But, if it makes Feda feel any better, he's going to get a nice shot of her cleavage when she bends down a runs a finger over his lips.]

You had some hair in your mouth.

[notbloodylikely]

[Alas, his dislike for his white patch (understandable considering it's his personal death clock) negates how much he'd usually be into a nickname. Chan though, he knows what that means and totally digs it.]

It's a proud name of-

[Oh my. Boobs and physical contact also a woman actually taller than him. He's glad his skin tone doesn't show blushing easily. At least he manages to keep his smile.]

...of the Ancient Eastern World.

[overcharging]

I quite like it, though you'll have to work quite hard to have me scream it.

[Blatantly hitting on a guy way younger than her? Meh, doesn't bother Shakki too much.]

If I let you, that is.

[notbloodylikely]

[Oh wow he actually thinks he has a shot here. Time to compose himself, although that's pretty hard when you're a stupid teenager and not nearly as cool as you think you are.

He puts a hand on his hip, rubbing his chin with the other.]

Well you know, sticking to the theme of our conversation so far, I happen to not be a rookie but still have a lot of youthful exuberance. So in other words, I know what I'm doing and I just don't stop doing it. Guess the only thing left is to get that permission and for a woman like you I can't think of a reason to give up easily.

[Uuuuh kind of talked himself into a corner. Oh wait!]

So might as well save yourself some time, huh?

[overcharging]

[Shakki lets him have his piece, calmly puffing away at her cigarette and exhaling tiny streams of smoke.

He's cute enough, yes. He may talk a bit once, but Shakki knows plenty of ways to shut him up; and, honestly, it's rather sweet that he's legitimately interested in her to the point he'll actually argue as to why he deserves a shot.

When Feda finishes up, Shakki remains silent for several long moments before chuckling and stubbing out her cigarette.]

I have nothing but time, Feda-chan. Besides, wouldn't you rather chase girls your own age?

[notbloodylikely]

[Honestly, Feda has a whole host of reasons why he's happy to chase women without restraining himself in selection and could bring one or two up as to why she's the target right now.

Instead he decides he's talked too much. Slowly and obviously, he looks right down at her ankles, all the way up to her eyes, lingering for a second at her hips and chest on the way (hadn't actually intended to do that but he is a hot blooded guy). The whole process takes just less than ten seconds. Once done, he closes his eyes, crosses his arms and hums in deep thought. Apparently her question is a deep and complicated one, which doesn't stop him smiling.]

Nope.

[And that's his answer.]

[fierybluebird]

Still chasing rookies then? And here I'd think you'd settle down with someone a little older by now.

[Sup Shakki?]

[overcharging]

[Nothing much, bro. What's up with you?]

Ah? Could that be an offer, Marco-chan?

[fierybluebird]

You know I'd never refuse a good time with you, but I'm not sure I could afford your rates that long.

[Deadpan joking forever, he loves you really.]

[overcharging]

You know I'd never charge for you.

[And she loves him, because if she didn't, she's probably kick his ass for that one.]

But it's cute you'd be willing to pay.

[fierybluebird]

[One would think!]

Does that mean I can get a drink on the go to bring back to Pops?

[Because that would be a big drink!!!]
[More deadpan teasing though, because when does he stop? And the answer is: never.]

[overcharging]

Only if you've got 100,000 beli on you.

[She knows how big Whitebeard is and there's not a chance in hell he's getting a free drink. She'd go bankrupt!]

[fierybluebird]

Damn, I just knew there'd be a catch.

You just want me to keep my drinks around you so I'll be easier to flirt with. Well, I have news for you, Miss Shakki!

That is perfectly acceptable and highly encouraged. Keep it up.

[overcharging]

Ah~ You've found out my secret. Good work, Birdy-chan!

[She leans over and ruffles his hair.]

But you're already quite easy to play with, don't you think? After all, you've yet to reject me.

[fierybluebird]

Now what kind of a foolish man would ever reject someone as charming and brilliant as you, eh?

[overcharging]

A man who didn't want free drinks, I suppose.

[fierybluebird]

He'd also have to be blind, deaf, and an idiot to be oblivious to your charms.

[overcharging]

Compliment me all you like; Papa-chan isn't getting a free drink.

[You only love her for the booze!]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] Damn, still too obvious, eh?

A woman's intuition is a frightening thing. But what if I was serious~? Well, at least a little.

[lordofthesea]

....

[It's been a long long long time]

[overcharging]

['Sup be-atch?]

[lordofthesea]

[That's his line]

Still alive, huh?

[Aren't you old by now?]

[overcharging]

[She's taking it.]

Of course.

[Old, but still a smoking hot babe.]

I'm surprised you are, too, Fish-chan.

[lordofthesea]

[He bristles a bit at that]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[overcharging]

[Shakki chuckles, taking another puff from her cigarette.]

Fish-chan? Ah, would you prefer Nose-chan?

[Casually avoiding the issue, just like she does with her age.]

[moveyourdeadfros]

My lady, the man who could ever put your panties out of their mind would be either as fickle as the breeze or as devoid of heart and blood as the walking dead... even if that also includes myself, YOOHOHOHOHO!

Well, or they could prefer men or be my captain, but I have never been the sort to torpedo a perfectly good simile!
