It's cold.   And I'm bored.

Anyone from home want anything from the square?  And Noel, you're coming shopping with me.  [Sound of knocking on the victim in question's door.  Mwaha.]  You have no choice in the matter.

[Nami will be ransacking the most of the shops for anything and everything that looks vaguely interesting, entertaining, and/or

[Yea~ er um. Alexei will be present at Good Spirit, sitting at the bar whenever the two show up there. He hasn't been wandering around town as much lately with all this cold weather. Plus, he doesn't like leaving his place for very long periods ever since some of his items were stolen from someone he didn't get a good look at who. So no, he's not in a good mood, but he sure knows how to hide it.]

[Action] Alexei->Nami->Noel?

[mikangirl]

[That'd be late afternoon, when the two of them are no doubt laden down with packages of all kinds. Nami thinks here is a good place to wait for Luffy (because if he doesn't want to give her a hand, she'll be a total brat and remind him he owes her favours) and besides, it's cold out there. Hot drinks sound really attractive. She'll hold the door open with one foot just long enough for Noel to get in, but she will notice that distinctive white hair. Have a voice calling your name cheerfully.]

Oh, hi Alexei!

[Action] Hope this is okay!

[bullet_dance]

[Annnd in comes Noel with more bags. Christ, Nami, I think you grabbed a little too much... but still, Noel's going to look at Nami curiously upon hearing that name.

Wait. Didn't she hear that name from somewhere before...?]

[Action] Works for me~

[fallenambitions]

[Alexei glances up from his drink, recognizing that voice and looks to the door. He smiles.]

Hello Nami-...hehe. My, my, stocking up for the winter there with your friend? [he sees all them packages. He stands, coming over to see if they needed help]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Nami will gladly surrender some of the bags to Alexei and give him an appreciative grin.] Thanks. You could say that - Noel didn't have any winter clothing and I'm also picking up some stuff for my crewmates.

[It's not all clothing. There's a long, old-fashioned cane there with a curved handle, and what looks like a seashell, and a toolkit, even. Nami's been busy.]

How have you been, Alexei?

[Action]

[bullet_dance]

[She's just going to give Alexei and nervous smile and nod at him in greeting. For now, she'll let Nami do the talking.

But still, that name is really, really familiar. Thinking here.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

So you're normally in charge of gathering items for your crewmates? [Yea sure, he'll carry a few stuff. That's all a guy's good for when it comes to shopping eh?] Trying to keep warm. It's been a little difficult to get much done with this weather.

[he glances over at Noel and smiles] Noel was it? I don't think we've met yet.

[ooc: I'm going to be a little slow with tagging. Project DX]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Not normally, but I was coming down here anyway. And it's ... probably better that I go shopping for this particular crew member, honestly. [Nobody wants to start a panic in this weather. Oy.]

Noel, this is Alexei. We met a while ago when Luffy went home.

[Thanks for that help, Alexei. Settling into a booth now, methinks.]

((ooc: s'all good. o/ As said, Noel needs to run away shortly anyway. :D))

[Action]

[bullet_dance]

[She smiles back.]

It's... nice to meet you, Alexei.

[ooc: yeah. I'm sorry if I randomly disappear tonight.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

Heh, I think you might be right. [Luffy, shopping...hrm]

A pleasure. [he says to Noel as he places their items on a vacant table since they won't be leaving anytime soon]

May I join you both? [It's only proper that he at least ask.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Luffy's shopping expeditions this week have thus far netted them a living room full of bronze elephants. Come to think of it, maybe she SHOULD be the only one allowed to shop...]

By all means. [Grin. Though she will duck a quick look at Noel to make sure she's okay with this.]

[Action]

[bullet_dance]

[Noel noticed the look and only gave her a small nod; yeah, she's fine with it. She guessed. I mean, it wouldn't hurt, right?

Right, so, taking a seat.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[...Why does Luffy need bronze elephants? 8| And what harm would fall if they're just sitting around, drinking some hot drinks? Taking a seat he shall then...across from Nami and I guess Noel too in the booth? Uh]

Avoiding the cold weather by coming here?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Who knows what goes on in the mind of Luffy. Nami has given up on ever working that out. And yup, across from them is just fine.]

Yeah. Trying to get some feeling back in my hands. It's freezing out there. But I could say the same for you, Alexei. They say you shouldn't drink alone. [Mildly teasing. Says the hypocrite.]

[Action]

[bullet_dance]

[Just listening to the two because she's cool like that.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

Well that is no longer the case, isn't it? Conveniently enough, I haven't drank anything yet. [he glances out the window] It's only going to get colder once the sun sets.
