Status: OPEN OPEN OPEN

[Don't mind that guttural snarl when you walk around today.

No, really.

You should instead be minding the flaming anchor that's perhaps soaring a little too close for comfort. Yes, it's flying, don't question it-

After all, it's landing just a few feet away as a very, very perturbed looking pirate is landing on his feet (remarkably steady). The scowl he's wearing doesn't seem like anything you want to mess with.]

When I find the bastards in charge o' this place-

[A distinct growl before he whistles sharply, a parrot coming down to perch on his shoulder with an answering caw. He scoffs angrily before glaring at whoever might be nearby without even realizing he's doing it-

Yeah.

Motochika's back.]

Comments

[invoker]

It's a waste of your time.

[Her voice is level but firm, weapons still raised. But that isn't what she's mad over. Mitsuru's mad over the fact that Motochika just feels like he can storm in here like nothing happen, get pissed and start wrecking things with that anchor of is. Not to mention the state that Minato was in after he left... she couldn't forget the sadness in his face. Minato's friends meant something to him. She wondered whether Motochika felt any remorse in him but for now it's just anger and frustration consuming Mitsuru.]

If you're going to storm into my quadrant like that, you're going to have to deal with me.

[treasurehunts]

Yer quadrant, what're ya--

[He's snarling without reason for a moment before something clicks.

Right. Defense Force.

... is he really willing to pick a fight with a SEES member and someone who's actually out to just protect Vatheon because he's angry?

A scoff and some angry muttering about being ordered around by some upstart miss priss say yes-

But he'll impale his anchor into the ground for the time being, though he doesn't seem satisfied yet either.]

Yer lucky my beef ain't with you.

[invoker]

I heard that.

[She steps forward, obviously unafraid.]

Do you remember me, Chosokabe-dono?

[Her weapons are lowered down just a tiny bit. She's not meant to be letting her guard down yet, not when the threat levels are still high.]

[treasurehunts]

[He'll just be stuffing his free hand into his pocket while keeping one on resting lightly on the handle of his anchor-]

Kirijo Mitsuru.

[And not too eager to give her all the control in this conversation, he's quick to make a few demands of his own.]

Fill me in on what's happened since I got whisked away again. How's the kid- Minato? Yukari? Ken? Fuuka?

[invoker]

The bubble has been up to it's usual tricks. Curses in, curses out. Parties and niceties when it feels like it. The terrible fish puns are still abound.

[Her manner is business-like, the only indication of Mitsuru's inner boiling anger is the fact that her tone is sharp.]

Fuuka's been good. Ken went back home. Yukari's a bit shaken but I'm making sure she's taken care of.

[Saving the best for last, obviously.]

Minato was pretty shaken up after exploring your ship, but it's not like he's going show how much things affect him.

[treasurehunts]

[Sharp tones and women yelling at him go hand in hand so he practically doesn't notice.

Instead he nods, considering it all before sighing and answering in a drawl.]

Glad to hear 'bout Fuuka. Shame 'bout Ken. Have you had a word with Yukari or is someone else takin' care of her?

[And he gets it when he asks for Minato first and she answers about him last-

A sigh.]

That kid doesn't learn anythin'. You have any luck with 'im?

[invoker]

Of course I've talked with Yukari. She is my friend. The duty of her care is shared between the people who she is close with.

[Not yelling, but her voice is getting just that tiny bit louder.]

And you know Minato, stubborn as they come. It's unlikely he's going to change any time soon.

[They of course, had an unbreakable bond between them. Mitsuru knew a lot about Minato, as much as a guy like Minato would let her know about himself.]

[treasurehunts]

[ . . . well damn-]

What're ya gettin' snappy for? When ya see yer sure she's been takin' care of, thought I should ask if you were the one takin' care of her or not.

[A scoff.] Sheesh.

But hey, he's been changin' slowly since I met 'im. He's gotten better... but apparently not at 'is best yet. You know where I can find 'im?

[He's got a few hunches but if there's any way to know exactly where Minato is...]
