Voice July 18th, lunch break

[justicereigns]

Yo Portgas, it's me.

I'm going to check out the fire ruins later and wanted to see if you wanted to come along to team up. We probably won't make twice as much money, but we can go twice as fast at least. Let me know.

It's Smoker... in case you couldn't tell.

[LIKE WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE BUT SMOKER IS AWKWARD SHUT UP.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[Smoker voluntarily wanting to spend time with him?

Asking him to come?

Is this a trap?

No it can't be he's too much of a dork.

Who else would sound like that? And say his name like Ace couldn't tell right off?

Yo Portgas. Yo. So cute. Ah Ace just wants to save this forever listening to Smoker be dorky in his ear.]

I'll meet you there.

[he sounds super amused. He can't help it]

[justicereigns]

[He's really relieved that Ace didn't do something like point out how weird this was, because Smoker already knows, but it was important so...]

[Yes.]

[Good.]

[...]

[There's nothing more to be said, right?]

[It's not like he can tell him to bring water or something, that'd be super stupid.]

[YEAH FUCK IT HE WILL JUST MEET HIM THERE AND GIVE HIM SOME TAKOYAKI ON A STICK BECAUSE IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE LIKE... A trap? Something something...]

Voice / 3:40 am July 27th :|

[justicereigns]

Yo Portgas. You awake?

Man, this is stupid.

Whatever. I'm going for a walk. And for once Adela is actually asleep where she should be. I mean, I think. I assume. She better be.

Whatever.

I'm going down to the beach.

Just you know, in case she gets worried or something.

Voice

[orangeoutlaw]

Mmn. If she's worried she'd just call you right? [sleepily] Did you want company? [yawn]

Voice

[justicereigns]

No.

Go back to sleep.

You weren't supposed to wake up.

Voice / August 13th / 11:30 at night

[justicereigns]

Portgas, are you avoiding me, or did you just fall asleep for a week solid?

12

[orangeoutlaw]

Do you miss me?

[justicereigns]

[Sigh.]

[He wants to play. To say something assholey and snarky and playful and...]

[He did say he would listen to "Auntie's" advice though so...]

[Maybe he can just turn it down a notch.]

[So just a low bass voice, the kind he would drop only very close to Ace's ears.]

Would I have called otherwise?

[Because it's mostly true, but it still gives him enough leeway to pretend that sure, he could have other reasons. Maybe. Obviously. Totally.]

[Maybe.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[aklerpejrejrsfusueres

wriggle

God he just--

And Ace just--

damn dirty Marine didn't play fair]

Voice / August 26th

[fierybluebird]

[After this.]

[Ace might just have been jealous and wanting to prove that he could get laid and wasn't a horny teen and feeling . . . lonely? Left out?]

[Something like that.]

[OR it might have been Ace's version of hinting at something important, albeit, relatively shocking.]

Yo Sparky, it's me. Call me back when you're ready, yoi.

A few hours later

[orangeoutlaw]

I'm on Striker. Want to come fishing? [it's nearly night but whatever]

[fierybluebird]

I'd love to. How'd you get it? Adela?

[Flies over, but puts his comm on his belt so Ace can keep talking and get a nice view of the sky.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Yeah... and woah! That's so cool! [Marco is the most amazingest person ever]

Do a barrel roll!

Sept 10th / Action

[justicereigns]

[Stalks Ace down to kick him in the face and plant his boot there.]

[Hi.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[he's not talking to him because of things so suck it. But he will turn around to bite Smoker's ankle]

[justicereigns]

[Tugs him up and forward for a hard kiss.]

If you missed me, just say so, moron. You don't have to embarrass me in front of everyone to get my attention. You already have it.

[HE'S MAD TOO, but... only in the permanent state of his existence way.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[pulls back from the kiss and puts a hand on Smoker's face to push him away]

I didn't miss you. [more than a little] I just wanted to antagonize you.

[grrr grrr]

[Video]

[redcinemareel]

[There is definitely a frown on her face once the video feed starts. She doesn't look happy, but she isn't angry.]

Ace, don't you dare even attempt to burn down my city. Marco is also one of the deputy guardians there, so I doubt he'd be happy, either.

[Video]

[orangeoutlaw]

[this is a lot late but]

Oh okay. But I might have set a trash fire or two on accident. Hope that's okay. They're mostly put out.

[Video]

[redcinemareel]

[How can a trash fire be okay...]

...as long as you put them all out completely.

[Yes, as long as he doesn't let them burn all night, then she doesn't care.]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[because why not I mean living together in a treehouse...

At least it's been warmer around Fayren, but nights are still chilly and Zoro likes to be warm when he sleeps. Makes for cozy good times. He's noticed Ace being much more possessive around him sometimes, on and off, like he's been officially adopted or something. It's a little weird, but not at all offputting. After all, he's been even closer to the cook both in spirit and in body, and survived. Ace is just Ace, and he's a pretty cool guy.

Zoro wanders back to the treehouse around midnight as usual, even if he never falls asleep then. So if Ace is at all around, he'll have a swordsman sitting up against him back to back, intending to warm his chilly butt after walking around the town in the dead of night.]

[action]

[orangeoutlaw]

[oh hey look, a Zoro. As soon as Zoro appears Ace will toss him a drink before looping an arm around his shoulders and ruffling his hair]

What's up, man? Where you been?

[yourotherleft]

[good, Ace is up. No flopping onto a sleeping firepit. Though he does shift around to allow that arm]

Out and about. I don't like just sitting around all day, even if there's nothing to fight. [literally, he just sort of goes into the woods until he comes out at some point, maybe fighting, maybe just walking.] Thanks for the drink.

[orangeoutlaw]

Yeah, me too. There's not even enough trouble to cause. [he rests his chin on Zoro's shoulder and sips his own drink.] Other than the dungeons but after you've been through them once...

[there is a sound of cracking bone in the corner but it's just one of the dire wolves he smuggled out nomming on a bone with Sir Wincy Fortitude Fartface the First, a well bred pug with an attitude to match]

Maybe we can go kidnap someone. What do you think? [flicks his earrings just to listen to them chime.]
