[2nd - video/action]

[hiken_ace]

[Oh, look. A post from Ace. Damn, he looks pretty pissed, too. Again. Looks kinda justified this time, though. I mean, look at what he's wearing. He does look rather pretty, though.

Did I mention angry? He's throwing things left and right, going up in flames every now and then. Poor guy looks absolutely horrible. His language matches his temper.]

Comments

[Action] - I hope this is okay. |D;;

[lookinforlight]

[It's barely a few minutes (twenty, give or take) after Ace's first rescue that a very sneaky dragon spies all that pretty, shiny, sparkly goodness. Norma, eye alight with greed, makes a desperate grab for his tiara, but jerks back when she learns firsthand that shit just doesn't wanna come off.]

Wh-What the heck?! [She tugs again, seemingly forgetting that, hey, her treasure is kind of attached to someone, and huff.] Oooh, that is just unfair! Now I have to take the whole thing with me! How do you expect me to carry you around, huh?! It's not like I can just lug you over my shoulder, jeez! So you're going to come peacefully, okay? I'll treat you nice, and I promise I won't hit you over the head, so just come peacefully and give me your dress and crown, okay?

[Biiiiig smile! This is how you win over a princess, amirite.]

[Action]

[hiken_ace]

[He's feeling a little better now, but still wet, so he can't use his fire.

Oh, well, then.....] I do workout a lot.

--oi, oi. I made it clear you will not eat me.

[Action]

[lookinforlight]

Well it's not like I can eat you, all covered in mud! Blech! I do have some standards, you know! [She sticks out her tongue, making a face, then takes a seat on the grass, Indian style.]

But I can't just leave you here either! I caught you fair and square so that makes you mine, I guess...huh. Right! Okay! You're gonna be my treasure! All of you, Hothead, and I'm gonna take you right back to my den! You can keep me and my treasure company. What do you say, huh?

[Action] keywords. yep.

[hiken_ace]

.....I doubt you could eat fire, miss.

[...okay, well.] I'm a pirate, miss. I won't keep you and your treasure company, I'll take it. And I've already been imprisoned once, and I hated it. Don't think I'll let you.

[Action] sob so mean Ace...

[lookinforlight]

Whoa, w-wait a second! A pirate? [Who ever heard of a pirate princess.] Jeez...this place has some seriously weird princesses for sure. Now what am I going to do with you?! I can't just let you go...

[Don't ask her why, Norma doesn't really know herself at the moment. SHE'S JUST GOING WITH THE FLOW, BRO.]

[Action] he can be, sadly.....

[hiken_ace]

OI! I didn't ask to be a princess! I'm not one, I'm a pirate first and foremost.

[This officially sucks. Even his nakama wouldn't do this.] Why can't you just let me go?

[Action] thankfully norma has quite a few jerkish friends. :|a

[lookinforlight]

Well, if I just let you go, I'll lose all my street cred, y'know? I'm a dragon! We're not supposed to just let princesses go just like that! We either eat them or just...keep them until a knight comes to get 'em or something. If I just let you go, then what kinda dragon would I be huh?!

[Norma makes a face, obviously upset. She can't eat Ace, and she's not risking her stolen junk treasure for him to just steal when she's not looking. After a while, though, she comes up with a plan. Oho, a very devious plan!

...Influenced by the experiment.]

But I can make a deal. I'll let you go, but you tell your prince charming or pirate buddies or rich king dad or whatever to pay me a handsome little bill, okay? Oh, and I'll need some new clothes. You got me dirty and wet you know, Hothead!

[Action] That's......good?

[hiken_ace]

No one even has to know! We can both just walk away and pretend it never happened!

[His WHAT.] .........do you happen to know someone named Nami?

[Action] She knows how to deal? 8D;; 1/2

[lookinforlight]

Huh...Nami? [Norma actually has to think about that one for a second, then shakes her head, the hood flopping over her eyes. She pushes it back up with a little smile.] Nope! Not ringing any bells. Is that the queen or something? Should I make my bill out to her or something?

Oh, and you're not hurt or anything, are you? You really went up in flames there before, Hothead. [Seriously. HOW THE HELL. Norma loosens the ropes a little, only to inspect Ace somewhat.] You look okay, but...hold on, don't move, okay?

Revive! [Look, she healed you. Isn't Norma such a sweet little dragon girl?]

[Action] 2/2

[lookinforlight]

Now you owe me medical fees!

[...Okay, maybe not.]

[Action] That's always handy.

[hiken_ace]

[He pauses to think for a moment. And then shakes his head.] She'd kill you if you did.

Hm? Ah, no I'm fine. I do that all the time since I'm made of fire.

[Ah. Hold it there.] Oi, I never asked for that. I don't owe you anything.

[Action]

[lookinforlight]

[You can practically hear the whoosh as everything else that Ace says flies right over Norma's hooded head, and her eyes widen in a mixture of shock, awe, and maybe a bit confusion.]

Made of fire?! That's... [Not possible, for one.] Well, you're not on fire now. [She pokes him in the arm to prove her point.] But I guess if you're being truthful, that just proves my point of how you're a definite Hothead!

[Action]

[hiken_ace]

I can control it so that I'm not. [Fuck U need to reread about this shit...]

It's like I can change my body at will. [Arm turns into flames.

Again.] And quit with the Hothead jokes. I get enough of those from my nakama.

[Action] - 1/2

[lookinforlight]

[SWEET BABY NERIFES IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA.

Reeling.]

[Action] - 2/2

[lookinforlight]

[Norma has to resist the urge to put him out, though she really isn't sure how. Well, at least she believes him about the whole "made of fire" thing.]

Jeez! Okay, okay, I believe you, I believe you, put out your...your arm already, you're freaking me out!

[It just looks painful to watch, okay, and Norma's rubbing at her own arms self consciously. Uuugh...she can just feel the blisters in the back of her mind...]

[Action]

[hiken_ace]

[He notices that he's made her uncomfortable. Hell, even if she is kidnapping him.....]

Ah.....I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable. I'll hold off now.
