Twenty-somethings gotta twenty-something

[mikangirl]

Who: Everyone invited, everyone gatecrashing (technically you're all invited, so...)
Broadcast: Who knows, maybe some drunken texting later on
Action: Iskaulit Pool!
When: 3 July

[It's a party for a narcissistic redhead who likes to be reminded she's alive.  Come celebrate!  Alternately, come sneak in and steal the food!  There's a bar set up for drinks drastically lowered to cost-price or to-be-paid-later-tab, a non-alcoholic punch in case of wandering minors (spike it and Nami will end you) and random snacks.

Oh, and a pool.  Which is heated.  Kind of important, that part.

Step right up, I'm reliably informed we'll have Thor with his shirt off, take pictures while you can.]

Comments

[mikangirl]

I generally appreciate the alcoholic kind of six pack more, but fair. [Spoilers: Thor is cute, but she isn't one to admire the male form, really.] Partners in crime has a good ring to it, though. Maybe we can get him to pose for the camera.

[privateeyed]

See, I'd appreciate alcohol more if it didn't knock me out so quickly. I can't even blame fake shit, always been like that. [a thoughtful noise] Think he would?

[mikangirl]

He doesn't seem the type to deny the birthday girl. I'll see what I can do. And drink enough for the both of us.

[privateeyed]

Nice. This is why you're my new favorite.

[Ben don't play favorites]

[mikangirl]

It's my birthday. I'd be offended if I wasn't your favourite for today.

[No she wouldn't be.]

[privateeyed]

Birthdays don't earn you favorite points.

[he says, as if he ever had a ranking system]

[mikangirl]

Hohh, you don't say. So what does earn points?

[This is obviously important.]

[privateeyed]

That's top secret information. I can't tell you or else you might try to game the system.

[again, as if he had a system to begin with]

[mikangirl]

Well, unless your favouritism involves showering me in cold hard cash, it doesn't sound much like a system worth gaming.

[privateeyed]

Do I look like a guy who's drowning in cash and can offer money showers?

[lbr he looks like he's a hobo most of the time]

[mikangirl]

No, but if you ever are you should totally look me up.

[Nami's true alignment. Moneysexual.]

[privateeyed]

Yes ma'am, I'm sure you'll spend it wisely and all that bullshit.

[he has no idea what she'll do with it]

[mikangirl]

[SHE LITERALLY JUST

HORDES IT


...until she goes on mass shopping sprees with some of the excess, but for Nami money=control, so.]

I always spend wisely. I'm the treasurer on my crew back home-- if I don't look after the money, my dumbass captain will spend ninety percent of it on meat.

[privateeyed]

On - meat. Who the hell spends all their money on meat?

[he understands splurging on it every now and then but there's a limit on that stuff geez]

[mikangirl]

Idiot captains who have no concept of ship maintenance costs, that's who.

[privateeyed]

And you haven't kicked his ass and taken over because . . . ?

[mikangirl]

[She laughs at that.] You serious? I'm not captain material. If I weren't sailing on this particular ship, I wouldn't be a pirate at all.

He's got redeeming qualities. He's an idiot, but he gets the job done.

[She'll just hold onto the money, thanks.]

[privateeyed]

Okay, then why aren't you - I don't know what the pirate term for "keeper of the money" is.

[look, he believes your captain is good or whatever, but he also agrees that he's a big idiot]

[mikangirl]

Quartermaster.

And I am the keeper of the money. [She smiles cheerfully.] Whether they like it or not. The only one with a grasp for finance on that ship is me.

[...okay, probably Robin, too. But Robin knows Nami likes her money and doesn't get involved, she's a good frand.]
