Hey, I'm a pirate. No judgment here. Does that mean you're still shopping or are you about to head somewhere less shady?

wow being = buying what's wrong with my fingers

[privateeyed]

Don't worry, I judge myself. [he does, it goes against a hell of a lot of what he believes in, but even so, he likes being able to protect himself as well] Dunno yet, mostly just killing time - why? Need a bodyguard?

I FEEL YOU

[mikangirl]

Well, I could do with some company. Once the streets are a little more busy, I'll stop being such a spook. [Here's a little more prone to dark and sinister alleys than she'd like.]

[privateeyed]

Sure, ain't like I got any plans. [he snorts] You can be spooky all you want, I don't care if people give me weird looks for talking to air.

[mikangirl]

Noted! But I'm too cute to stay invisible for long. [That and it takes some effort.] So have you joined a team?

[privateeyed]

Yeah? [and that's all he says because he isn't stupid] Not yet, no. Might down the line, but for now I'm not that interested. You?

[mikangirl]

[Wise man, Ben.]

Not so far. I was thinking maybe the Brightbirds, though. Or maybe the Waves, but Brightbirds feels more me.

[privateeyed]

I was thinking the Waves myself. I don't want to join the winning team 'cuz that seems too easy.

[mikangirl]

But not the underdog ones because that'd be too hard? [She can't even remember their name.]

[privateeyed]

'Course not. I wanna walk away with some pride left. [he ain't gonna sugarcoat it sorry loser team]

[mikangirl]

Well, make sure you let me know if you think you can win any contests. I'll come lay bets on you.

[privateeyed]

[a snort] I've been doing some fights; winning is hit or miss 'cuz overpowered aliens, but I'm doing pretty well.

Might try trivia too, if they've got Earth shit.

[mikangirl]

Trivia's right out for me. Nobody's ever heard of the place I'm from, I doubt this planet will cater for it.

How good are you at cards?

[privateeyed]

Impression I've got from some folks is that I'm way into the future so I wouldn't get half the questions anyway. Unless they went into military history.

[he's a bit of a nerd]

Uh - decent? My poker face is unbeatable.

[mikangirl]

Hohhh? Perhaps we'll have to play one day. Between friends and all.

[And they're hitting busier streets now, so between one moment and the next she shimmers back into view again, a staff in hand.] Ta da.

[privateeyed]

And lose all my money to you? Yeah, no. Better idea? Teaming up to clean out a table and splitting it.

[look, he's not stupid. He doesn't exactly jump when she reappears, but he does do a double-take and make a face] That's a handy trick.

[mikangirl]

See now, that sounds like fun. I assume you're used to poker tables turning ugly.

[And she grins at him in person now, breaking the staff down into three segments with swift movements done a thousand times before.] It's very useful. Especially when avoiding awkward conversations about money!

[privateeyed]

Not poker tables specifically, but yeah.

[oh, is it a magic thing, not an ability thing, Nami he thought you were normal] I bet. Did you freak out the people coming after you? Ain't worth it if you didn't.

[mikangirl]

[It's a science thing, actually, gosh. Nami herself is as normal as a pirate can get.]

Well, they were already kinda pissed, so I didn't wanna push things. I mean, just vanishing is probably better than the alternative.

[privateeyed]

Not the kind to add insult to injury, huh. I would've done it, but I'm also an asshole.

[really tho he would've totally been all over fucking with them if they tried to come at him]

[mikangirl]

[She grins at that.]

Welll... let's just say I'm the kind who knows exactly how much she can bite off and chew, and I know to stay within my limits.

[privateeyed]

Smart lady. [he does the same, but he isn't about to give himself any credit after calling himself an asshole]
