Re: April 13-14th

[ For the first few hours, Naruto was interested in everything. It was all so cool, and wow you can practically see the mystery coming from wherever the hell they're headed. And who cares! This is going to be an awesome adventure!

Now, just a few hours later, the excitement has worn off, and he's laying in the middle of the deck




Being bored



Really, really bored.





He will occasionally roll over to whine and complain about how boring it is, because why isn't there more to do on this ship? When will things get intereseting?!



...Help help S O S! He's so bored he's gonna diiiiiiiiiiiie!!!!!! ]

[then_there_were_none]

[Hey.

Hey.




Hey.

Naruto.

Think fast there's a cast iron staff flying at you.]

1/2

[ramenkage]

[ HOLY SHIT--Yeah, gonna roll away from that ahhhh. ]

[ramenkage]

[ AND SITTING UP SUPER FAST. ]

THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?

[then_there_were_none]

[The staff bounces harmlessly off the deck, but only once--when it lands again, the iron seems to...slither, like a snake, back to whoever had thrown it.

Said whoever was giggling.]

You looked like you were bored!

[ramenkage]

That doesn't mean you throw stuff at me!

[then_there_were_none]

Sure it does!

[THOSE SURE ARE THE BEGINNINGS OF DANMAKU APPEARING]

[ramenkage]

No! It doesn't!

[ Aw crap those don't look good. This is what he gets for wanting some excitement, isn't it...]

[then_there_were_none]

[FZZT. The bullets promptly disappear.

And Flandre pouts.]

Well it's supposed to.

[ramenkage]

[ Aw man, now he feels kind of bad. ]

I'm bored, that doesn't mean I wanna be in pain, too. [ Shhh he can totally contradict himself. ]

[then_there_were_none]

It's not supposed to hurt unless you run right into one, and then you lose anyway.

[IT'S ALL SUBJECTIVE ANYWAY]

[ramenkage]

I don't get it.

[then_there_were_none]

It's a rule, in danmaku! If you get hit by one you lose.

["One" meaning "a flying potentially multicolored glowing projectile of various size and shape", like the softball-sized crimson orb suddenly flaring into existence in her hands.]

Like this.

[AND THEN SHE THROWS THAT AT HIM.

Though if it hits, it has pretty much the same force one would expect of a softball on fire.]

[ramenkage]

I see, I see.

[ --And not expecting it, it hits him square in the chest--OOF. He would get upset but, hey, that didn't hurt all that much.




....he's not going to catch on fire, though, is he? ]

Oh, that wasn't so bad---Oi, throw one again! I'm ready this time!

[then_there_were_none]

[No, just explode into powerup blocks

Oh, she will! It doesn't seem to tax her in the least.]

[ramenkage]

[ Yeaaaaahhh!!! Dodging that! This is fun, in a weird way! ]

[straw_hat]

[Luffy was climbing around the one mast, hanging upside down by the beams when he saw Naruto whining. So, he latches his feet around the beam, and jumps down, his legs stretching all the way. He lands a few feet above Naruto and smiles.]

Wanna go fishin'?

[ramenkage]

[ Woah!! That was a pretty neat trick there, Luffy. Though Fishing...sounds boring as hell.


Oh well, it's better than rolling around the deck like a bum. ]

Yeah, sure. [ ... ] How'd you do that thing, anyway? Is that some kinda special power, or...

[straw_hat]

[He laughs bit, still hanging upside down.] If we catch any monster ones, we can kick their asses!

[He shoots back up to the top, and then jumps down on the deck.]

I'm a rubber human! [Stretches his cheek out to show such.]

[ramenkage]

Monsters? [ INTEREST AQUIRED. ] Hell yeah! We'll kick their asses no problem!

[ And...rubber man.... ]

Ooo that's cool, yeah? Does it hurt? [ He kind of wants to pull on your cheek just to see. So strange and mysterious, this rubber power. ]

[straw_hat]

Shishishi, let's do it, then!

[He shakes his head, and lets his cheek snap back into place.] Nope!
