[Gino is in the arcade. ...and he is Impressed]



......No way this is what commoner prisons are like!

[It has been several days since Kurogane has seen Fai. Not that he’s worried. Just.. annoyed. The stupid mage was probably off moping somewhere again, and the ninja was further irked by the thought that he was unable to find the man.
To make matters worse, the shoulder where his mechanical arm attached to his body had been sore – and even bled at times – ever since the intense spar-fight he enjoyed with the Living Pirate Magnet (aka Eustass Kid). If he had known the stupid arm would be so troublesome, he would never have agreed to have it put on.]

Grrhh.. Has anyone seen a stupid blonde idiot with an eyepatch?

[grumblegrumble Fai probably wouldn’t let him hear the end of it when the bastard found out Kurogane broke his fake arm]


((ooc: Yeah, Kuro hasn't realized Fai is gone. And the arm problems occur canonly and would've happened eventually without aggravation anyway.))

So... just out of curiosity...

Are there any pirates or ninja here?

Because if there are, I can probably die happy.

I AM NOT A CRIMINAL!!!

If you're going to arrest somebody, arrest him! Arrest them! Arrest society! Society is to blame! Society!



Or at least wait until I'm 18, you pedo.

[a brash sounding female voice clicks on, clearly pretty pissed off about something] --This has gotta be the old man’s fault. Who else would think it’s funny to toss me into a weird place like this? Where the hell’d he get such a dumb idea from in the first place?! Another Chinese guidebook he picked up at the grocery store?! That old man ain’t got a nick of common sense in his damned skull… And splashin’ me with water first thing, too… Talk about a low blow, geez…

OKAY, POP. JOKE’S OVER, YOU’VE HAD YOUR FUN, RIGHT? LEMME OUTTA HERE ALREADY! SINCE WHEN DO PRISONS TEACH YA MARTIAL ARTS TECHNIQUES, ANYWAY?! CAN WE JUST MOVE ON NOW? WE’RE GONNA MISS KASUMI’S DINNER!!

Hi everyone! Sorry to interrupt anything you might be doing, but I was wondering if everyone could just look around and see if there is a Conrad near them and then have him call me?

Oh, and if you can hear this, Conrad, just let me know!

THANKS!

[Late morning, Fai is sitting on the ground at the Dolphin observation deck. It looks like he's watching the dolphins, but his gaze is distant. His expression is pinched with worry and fatigue, but it's more disturbing that he's so calm. Even though he spent all day yesterday searching, he knows the clone simply isn't here. It's a detached feeling, and Fai wishes him the best but he still feels like he's lost something very dear yet again.]

[One Eustass Kid is currently inside the club, leaning back in a chair with his boots kicked up on a table. The glass he holds is undoubtedly filled with some sort of alcoholic beverage, regardless of the fact that it's still early on in the day]

In case it hasn't been announced, booze is back on the menu.

Oi. Kurogane.

[A very strange looking person is standing in the middle of sector three, looking disgruntled as new arrivals tend to do. He's examining the communicator, pressing various buttons before activity the feature that posts on the network.]

Alright, so who's going to explain to me just what the hell's going on here? Where am I and why the hell is this place such a freakin' dump? You know what? Someone just point me to the guy in charge down here. I wanna have a few words with 'em about some of these crimes I'm being charged for, the pirate thing is bullshit. ...Heh. Though I gotta say, you have me pegged down for the rest of em.
