[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

You said something about old guys in the bar?

[crisis_rain]

[Raven could do with drowning some sorrows/getting wasted, he enters the bar to see you scavanging for another drink.]

Get us one while yer over there.

Something that totally needs to happen. Get all ten of them in here, man. 8Db

[skulljokelol]

[His voice is a bit muffled, as he's still hanging over the counter. But he recognizes that voice!] Ah, Raven-san! Do you have a preference, then?

Damn that's gonna require some pestering!

[crisis_rain]

Been a while!

[He leans over the bar counter himself, he can't reach anything but he points to a brown bottle.]

That one should do! Think ya can grab it for me?

We can just have Masa drag them all in. He plays half of them.

[skulljokelol]

Certainly! [Having long arms definitely has it's uses. Handing the brown bottle up, and snagging a green one for himself] There you are.

If Goroh doesn't show up, it'll be some kind of blasphemy.

[crisis_rain]

[He accepts the bottle from Brook and takes a seat at the counter.]

So, drinkin' fer fun or drowning yer troubles away?

Might be his day off!

[skulljokelol]

A little of both. [Uncorking his bottle] Though hopefully they will go hand in hand.

And how have you been?

Secret Hiatus? xD

[crisis_rain]

Long as yer still livin' it can't be that bad.

[He bites the cap off his bottle whilst thinking of a reply to that question.]

Hmmm... things have been better, but they've also been worse. 'Spose it's some kinda middle ground right now.

[skulljokelol]

I could say the same. [He takes a long drink] But things could always be worse, neh?

[crisis_rain]

A little optimism can go a long way. Is it anythin' you can solve or have ya just gotta wait it out?

[skulljokelol]

I'm afraid it's the waiting game in these instances. [And some of it are matters he can't even take care of here] Fortunately I am blessed with exceptional patience.

[crisis_rain]

You are a skeleton, I figure patiences must come with bein'... hmm.. actually how old are ya?

[skulljokelol]

Hm. Eighty-nine now, I suppose.

[crisis_rain]

Only eighty-nine?! I was expectin' something like... two hundred or somethin'.

[He takes a drink from his bottle, gonna need it.]
Waitin' things out ain't bad, but if there's anythin' you can do to help it'd be worth thinking about!

[skulljokelol]

Yohohoho! I'm hardly immortal! I don't believe there's anyone from my world that lived to be of that age.

I'm working on what I can do here, but it is regrettably little. Though at least it's better than wasting my time.

[crisis_rain]

But yer a skele... ya know what nevermind. Somehow I got the feelin' I wouldn't understand anyway.

Oh? Ya don't look like yer doin' something to me, well aside from getting drunk.

[skulljokelol]

I am not drunk. [He sounds amused at the idea. Would you even be able to tell the difference if he were?] This is serving as more of a break, if you will. I actually haven't gone out for a drink in quite some time.
