[aerialassault]

 


[Lupin III doesn't know what's going on in the village...nor does he think he wants to know. Luceti is mad even on a good day, but this? It was well outside the scope of the New Feather cycle...but the crowd oddly reminded him of home. He went about his business that day like normal: drop by Seventh Heaven for breakfast, swing by the barracks to harrass Smoker, bum around the library (in the food and drink section, interestingly,) and drop by the space that used to be Cloud Nine.

He's friendly and in his element with the crowd. Just beware that he has a consealed weapon.

Cliff Fittir, still a New Feather himself, is interested in the entire affair-- but for reasons that he was going to keep to himself. There was still a possibiiity that he could run into some of his friends from home, and he planned to sieze every opportunity to either find them or find out some information. He wouldn't admit it openly, but he was concerned for their safety.

He'll be cooling his heels in various places around the village in a bomber jacket that he managed to find in his size, asking questions and offering directions as they come about. Evenings will find him in Good Spirits knocking back a few cold ones. Just be warned: he's liable to rant in annoyance at any mention of the cold, and he's quite a big man that isn't afraid to start (or end) a fight.]

[Blinks in surprise.] I just arrived today. You know me?

[Not that a lot of people didn't know of him, but this guy seemed at ease with the flame and certainly didn't fear him, which had to mean he knew Ace personally. Or at least the Whitebeard crew.]

[redjacketthief]

No. You've been here for over a year.

[Though now that it was mentioned.....there was a specific lack of wings. Lupin blinked when he realized something that he hadn't considered before.]

...

You're not the same guy who's friends with the annoying blue bird. When did this place become Dear_Mun again?

[ace_of_hearts]

[You get a really weird look for that though.]

You know Marco? Hey! I'm still friends with him. Even if he is a big turkey.

What's Dear-Mun?

[redjacketthief]

Your princess is teasing mine now!

[ace_of_hearts]

[There might be some mysterious chuckling in the background.]

Right.

Maybe I should ask someone else for directions.

[When Ace thinks you're crazy, there's something seriously wrong.]

[redjacketthief]

[Grin.]

Nope. Just ask away. I've been here for a while now, so there might be a few things I can answer.

[ace_of_hearts]

Food and a bar, please.

Although if you know another me here, I guess I should get directions to him too, if that's not too much trouble.

[redjacketthief]

Are we talking pub kind of bar, or restaurant kind of bar?

[It was important. :|]

And I can't tell you where the other...uh, you is. The bird and I don't get along too well, so I don't mess with what's his.

[ace_of_hearts]

Yes. [Nods. Honestly either one is fine.]

Why don't you get along with Marco anyway? He's not so bad if you can shake the sparkles out of your hair. Or hat.

[redjacketthief]

Then Good Spirits it is~

[He motioned for Ace to follow.]

Actually...Marco and I haven't talked very much, but we never found reason to be friendly. Eeh~ It might be a case of a thief knowing not to trust other thieves...or pirates, here. Professional courtesy~

[ace_of_hearts]

[Follows along though he pauses at the last part.] Thief?

[But he hesitantly keeps going. Then again... if there's someone Marco, of all people, doesn't trust, then they'd have to be incredibly dangerous. Enough to give Ace reason for hesitation. The phoenix already got annoyed with Ace being so rash already.] You give him the courtesy or the other way around?

[It's important. Someone with the instincts to stay clear of Marco was probably smart, but someone Marco steered clear of? That was a threat.]

[redjacketthief]

[He glanced at Ace, not sure what he was getting at.]

I like to think that it goes both ways...?

[ace_of_hearts]

[WELL, whatever. Ace is nothing if not reckless. If Lupin's a danger, so be it. He'll face it head on!]

Duly noted, matey. So what's this place like? Any fun?

[redjacketthief]

[There was something to be said about risk taking and flirting with danger...]

You mean generally or for me personally? It's a little wacky sometimes, but a lot of people like it enough.

For me? There's not enough road, sky, or sea for me to have much fun.

[ace_of_hearts]

[Flirting with it is one thing. Ace is more of the "jump in head first" style that makes Fujiko on an adrenaline bender look tame.]

Wacky?

[Okay, the last part gets a grin out of him.] Heh. I know how that is. [He could traverse the whole world and it wouldn't really be enough room.]

[redjacketthief]

Nothing quite like the open road, right?

[Grin.]

Yeah. Wacky. The guys who run this place like to use us as lab rats and their own private army. Sometimes its interesting; other times...well. Hell might be better than here.

[ace_of_hearts]

Damn right.

Whoa.... what? What kind of experiments? Worse than torture? [Hell = Impel Down = torture.]

If you're a private army, why not just leave?
