Trolling my castmates, that's all, no biggie.

[thrillthirsty]

[He stares. And stares. And stares. And then he shrugs, looking... well, bewildered.]

I don't get it. 

[How do you explain to someone that the fact they're emoting is supremely creepy in and of itself?]

You're gonna need to use your small words for this, lady.

[gavemyword]

[walking away I SAW NOTHING LA LA LA~]

[thrillthirsty]

[Following after Zoro, hands stuck inside his pockets, looking like he should be slouching but obviously not slouching. It's just weird.]

Oi, kid. Know your way around here?

[gavemyword]

[WALKING FASTER because if he ignores you hard enough you'll maybe hopefully stop existing.]

[thrillthirsty]

Charming.

[Look! Zoro, look! Baby's old deadpan! Back when it wasn't pants-shitting terrifying! He even sounds a little amused, keeping up with the still younger man.]

Just really need directions, 's all, can we not do the pirate dance today? Not really in the mood.

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure she's not that bad, eh.

[Contradicting Mihawk for the sake of contradicting him. It's a hobby.]

[thrillthirsty]

Didn't say lady was bad.

[He blinks again, slowly and measured. And then, still deadpan:]

She's just batshit fucking crazy.

[A pause.]

Maybe.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins, oh man, it's just precious to hear these things coming from baby Mihawk!]

Only maybe?

[Mischievous twinkle.]

[thrillthirsty]

[Utterly oblivious to that, Mihawk shrugs.]

...have you ever been to the Grand Line?

[fierybluebird]

Born and raised. New World even, why?

[Come on Mihawk, you're not too young to recognize this tattoo, right? Marco is hella fucking old after all.]

[thrillthirsty]

Then you should know being batshit fucking crazy is not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes it's just a lifestyle choice.

[Should he? He probably should, really. He's thinking about something else, though.]

[fierybluebird]

[Bursts out laughing. Oh, he likes this. More than he should, definitely.]

Truer words never spoken matey. Though I've found they often go hand in hand. You ever meet Roger? [Wait give him a moment to think that over.] Mah, I suppose not, eh? Just his protege, Shanks. [Spreads hands and shrugs.] Either way, still annoying. [Although even Marco will concede Shanks isn't actually batshit fucking crazy. Just annoying. And mostly crazy.]

I think I should buy you a drink. And your mun.

[thrillthirsty]

[A small, almost delicate shrug. He saw him die. That's not the same as meeting someone. Then of course you had to go and mention Shanks. And it's suddenly like Mihawk is a cat and you dumped a bucket of cold water on him. Or, if we're going by bird puns... well, you're seeing all his feathers ruffled and puffed up in annoyance.]

Can we not. Talk. About the redhead.

[It's not a question. It sounds more like a well worn plea that knows will be thoroughly ignored. He perks up a little at the drink offer though.]

[fierybluebird]

[And Marco's grin just broadens.] Now you definitely get a drink.

[thrillthirsty]

If you must.

[So put upon. So long suffering.]

[fierybluebird]

I must.

[It's okay, his mun is easy-going so Marco randomly procures a couple of drinks. Blood red wine for Mihawk, and an especially blue fruity number for Marco.]

At least you'll be free of him in Luceti, eh. Assuming your mun goes through with this.

[thrillthirsty]

[He takes the wine gracefully enough. You see hints of a refined taste, but not sophisticated yet. And then Mihawk snorts, a little sullen.]

That's not a plus.

[Because life is annoying boring without the redhead. Like, calm-belt levels of boring.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh really? [Arches an eyebrow. Oh Mihawk, you have to learn to make your own excitement. Like Marco does by trolling people and trying (and failing) to prove they aren't as mastered in the art of deadpan as him!]

[thrillthirsty]

[You'll be pleased to know that he does eventually learn the skill. Right now he's not a Juggernaut of nothing in particular, mostly just a perpetually bored moron.]

Remember what I said about lifestyle choice?

[fierybluebird]

Luceti isn't that boring, eh. Trust me, it doesn't need He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named around to keep things exciting.

[I'm not sure, but I think Marco just compared Shanks to Lord Voldemort =\]

[thrillthirsty]

[Mihawk bets the hat is a horcrux.]

Sounds like you like the place.

[fierybluebird]

[Marco says definitely.]

I do actually. Reminds me of home.

[thrillthirsty]

[Dryly.]

Should I start wondering about your lifestyle choices.

[fierybluebird]

I'm only gay on weekends.

[:| This is a lie. He has a girlfriend, but he gay chickens always. Also don't mind the deadpan jokes.]
