[Action] ...I blame Ash (Hellboy-mun)

[skulljokelol]

[A few hours after Sanji's disappearance finds Brook at the bar. And no, that's not tea he's drinking for once. Despite that, he's not looking to drown his sorrows, just some time to collect himself.]

[After a little while, he's just going to stretch over the bar to pick something else to drink. Apologies in advance to any other patrons who might

Everything's always MY fault

[histruename]

[As Brook reaches across the bar for a drink, the front door behind him opens, and a rather large but familiar demon ducks in. He's looking far more put-together than he did two days ago, despite the bandage still wrapped around his middle. He's been to the clothing store, apparently, because he's found the rest of his clothes (which isn't much besides the jacket anyways.)

Hellboy sees that afro the second he walks in, and heads for the bar stool next to Brook, taking a seat.]

You didn't tell me they had a bar.

We're used to it. You're just a bad influence. SHAME.

[skulljokelol]

[He plops back from across the bar with a bottle in hand] I would be surprised if this place didn't have a bar, to be quite honest. Feeling better?

Shame? I'm damn PROUD to corrupt the innocent. It's my primary goal in life.

[histruename]

[He puts a hand on his bandage.] Ah, it was a lucky hit, but it takes more than that to keep me down.

You missed a couple of schoolyards.

[skulljokelol]

So I would imagine! [What with that hand of yours] My nakama are similar. Care to join me for a drink then?

Oh, I'm just getting started

[histruename]

Got any rum? If I'm drinking with skeletons again, might as well make it a tradition.

Y-you won't make them read badfic, will you?

[skulljokelol]

Hmm. I think I saw another. You can have this one, for now! [Coincidentally, that bottle was rum. He already took a drink from it, not that you know that, of course. BACK OVER THE COUNTER HE GOES.]

I said I wanted to corrupt you, not give you brain damage

[histruename]

Thanks. [He takes a deep gulp, then swallows with a sigh.]

So what's brought you here?

You do have a heart. I knew it was in there. ;~;

[skulljokelol]

[Still over the counter. Some bottles can probably be heard clinking around] It's been a bit of a rough week. [Nothing in comparison to the weeks before that, but things add up after a while.] I decided that I needed some time to collect myself- aha! I knew there had to be another down here.

Nah, I just thought that if your brain was any more fucked up you'd be useless to me

[histruename]

Tell me about it. Two days ago, I got stabbed by a fish.

It's okay to show the love, Ash.

[skulljokelol]

It wasn't a small one, was it? [Because that would be embarrassing]

Bullshit. I have no love.

[histruename]

Punched a hole through me bigger than my fist. [He holds up his flesh-and-blood fist for clarification.] One claw.

LIES.

[skulljokelol]

[...You know, he never actually did SEE the injury when he visited you.]

Definitely not a small one then. I'm surprised you recovered so quickly. [If you were from One Piece, you would have been down for at least another few days.]

Prove it.

[histruename]

Surprised myself. [He drinks from the bottle again.]

So what's your story?

You still talk to me. :3

[skulljokelol]

[One Piece. It's a manga.]

A long one. Pick a chapter. [Because he's too tired to choose one at random]

I see what u did thar

[histruename]

A chapter?

Shhhh you saw nothing

[skulljokelol]

Numbers one through eighty-nine.
