foolishwren: generally what daddy tells me is pretty reliable (Daddy told me never to talk to strangers)

034. [Video]

[It's a little before sun-up-- that weird hour of the morning where the sky is still dark but just starting to brighten in a thin, pale line at the horizon. Of course, where Heather was, that horizon was hidden by the trees, so it's... still mostly dark.]

[She's sitting up in her sleeping bag with a couple of blankets around her shoulders, next to the camp's fire, which had mostly burnt down to ash speckled with a few tiny, stubborn embers. They stood out against the general grayness of the clearing 'Camp Otacon' resided in. Said grayness was only emphasized by the layers of frost coating the earth and grass. It was well into October now, so... unsurprisingly, the weather had been getting colder.]

[Heather was not sure she liked this, though thankfully she's in possession of a living heater in the form of a now-distinctly-potbellied dog (Camp Otacon had been treating him well. Especially because though she'd never admit to being such a softie, she'd been giving him more treats than normal out of pure guilt over the whole 'I thought you were a double-head and also I was kind of a jerk to you in general anyway' thing), who was curled behind her and serving as a backrest.]


So hey, guys. I have a question.

[Her words were accompanied by puffs of steam from her breath. It's c-c-cold this morning without the sunlight.]

What happens when our warrants expire?

[A couple of people had asked her this before, but she'd never had too specific an answer to give them.]

I heard we're like... basically off with a smack on the wrist and not much else, but... [She pauses, sucking her lips inward a little and fiddling with that stubborn eye-bandage. She's gotta be able to get rid of that thing soon, right?] ... That seems pretty lenient for a bunch of "dangerous fugitives". [She's quoting Officer Jenny directly from that announcement, and there's suspicion in her tone. SCREW THE COPS, THEY'RE NEVER HONEST, RIGHT? THIS HAS TO BE A TRICK.]

Turn yourself in...

Guess he was being nice then? I've heard once he picks a target he's got total tunnel vision. Like at Marineford. The minute he saw Straw-hat he just went boom! Off and running. Even though even Hina-jou couldn't catch Straw-hat. He even picked a fight with a shichibukai for getting in his way!

Maybe he's targeted someone else?

I don't know if Straw-Hat is here, I haven't seen him. Nor that stupid long-nose brat. I kind of heard from my buddy that some dumb chef with them was around, but... since Fullbody's gone... I don't know.

[For Jango, he actually sounds pretty sad. Fighting it. But sad.]

What, Straw-Hat? LIKE HELL!!! THAT LITTLE BRAT...

[Trails off because how does he explain the psycho was hypnotized and survived weird freaky things and actually saved him from Kuro which is good, but if it hadn't been for him he wouldn't BE in danger so really...]

No. He's some dumb kid pirate that thinks he can be the pirate king. He was at Marineford too. The whole world is after his bounty practically.

[Smoker, Jango, and Straw-Hat, yup. There's also Luffy's Dad: Dragon.]

Oh it is. It really is. Aside from all the creepy ghosts doing all sorts of creepy stuff, this place is pretty tame in comparison. They even give you a free starting ally.

Me too.

I miss my friends, but it's kind of nice here.

Huh, what kind of place were you from?

[identity profile] 1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Guess so. My world wasn't so bad. Kind of up and down, you know. I guess like here, heh.
