Meal 02 | Video (forward-dated to Feb 09 @ 8am)

[ilumeat]

[Luffy's peering down at his NV, seated cross-legged on a bed. Now, that fact alone might not be all that strange. What's rather unusual is the fact that the only article of clothing the pirate is wearing is the straw hat on his head. Yep, that's right, he's sitting there and using his NV while completely naked, not giving a damn that he's flashing

[Ace just happened to be browsing the network when Luffy posted. He intends to wave and offer a morning greeting but his hand freezes mid-wave up in the air and his greeting gets as far as the "y" in his "yo.~" Ace stares, brows drawing together. Time skips by.]

. . . . .

Luffy.

[video]

[ilumeat]

Ah, Ace! [Luffy's expression does the exact opposite of Ace's; when the catches sight of his brother's face, the younger D brightens up.] What's up?

[video]

[firefreckles]

You need money for the hotel bill, you say?

[video]

[ilumeat]

Mm, yeah. I had some when I came here, but it's gone now. My clothes, too.

[video]

[firefreckles]

How the hell did you lose your clothes? [Ace makes a face, but laughs.] Idiot. Why are you at a hotel, anyway?

[video]

[ilumeat]

They were just gone. [Really. He woke up, and his clothes were missing.] Because the girl I went to dinner with brought me here.

[video]

[firefreckles]

Huh?! A girl actually took you to dinner? Man, did you empty her pockets when you got your fill? [Wait. Wait wait waaaait. Did Luffy just say--Ace jerks his logpose NV up, closer to his face, staring hard.] Oi, Luffy. How'd she get your clothes off you?

[video]

[ilumeat]

It was a buffet! Na, Ace, have you tried buffets?! There's so much food! And you only have to pay once!

[And then he's blinking at Ace's sudden seriousness. What gives, bro?] Ah, you think she did it? Nnnn... [THINKING FACE. Complete with the teen scratching his head, hand occasionally bumping his hat.] I dunno. She said we could do something fun if we came here, but I dunno what happened after we got into the room.

[video]

[firefreckles]

It's hard to beat a good buffet. [Just had to be careful of that one with the laced meals, he had learned.]

FUN?! [Teenage Ace is a little flusterflabbergasted by this information. Nothing..happened... right? Luffy was too stupid.] ........You jumped on the beds and hit your head, didn't you? And woke up naked.. [Big brother is so not impressed.] That's totally lame!

[video]

[ilumeat]

Hahh? We didn't jump on the beds! And besides, that wouldn't hurt my head!! [Little brother is displeased Ace thinks he's weak enough that he'd let a ceiling beat him.]

......... [HEY HE'S FIGURED SOMETHING OUT] Ace! It's gotta be the room taking clothes away! Cuz just after we got here she came outta the bathroom without any!

[video]

[firefreckles]

. . . .

[video]

[firefreckles]

. . Did you say she took off her clothes?

[video]

[ilumeat]

Mmhmm. I don't get why, though. [He crosses his arms, looking a little befuddled.] What's being naked got to do with having fun?

[video]

[firefreckles]

Eh..

[Ace does not want to have this talk with Luffy. Garp should have beaten it into him not to have anything to do with naked women. Ace loved his brother dearly, but the world probably couldn't handle more of this stupidity.]

You misheard what she said.

[video]

[ilumeat]

[Oh come on. Who wouldn't want adorable mini Luffys running around? ....Okay don't answer that.]

Ah, I did? Mm, she must have just been feeling too hot, then. [Blink.] Maybe she was sick and that's why she left.
