cranium tilts upwards with a fleeting gaze , heterochromatic interstices never giving away the CEO’s emotions . instead , manicured nails drums along the desk while irene ponders for but a moment . no hunger pains registers in her brain , but perhaps the bubbling force within her masks it .

❝ while i appreciate your concern , it is not needed . burning the midnight oil is something i’ve been doing for the past … five ish years . nonethelesss , thank you for your compassion , doctor . ❞

she prefers to call most by their title or last name unless they are close to her . optics flit back down to the papers in front of her , the pen dancing across the page as the ink scripts out her signature . another deal made , another trade route opened . leaning back , irene cranes her neck left and right to get out the kinks .

❝ state whatever business you wish to convey . i must give faust some ... rather interesting reports soon . ❞

WELCOME BACK TO THE BOY!! 😊

      here comes the booOOOO-

   -OOOOOOYYYY !! 

“ so — is this a similar test you had to go through on your first day or am I just a special case? ” Ratio sat cross legged at a table placed in the middle of the sunny as he was stared down by a skeptical straw hat crew, their archeologist sitting cross from him.

   ❝ I believe you're the one being interviewed here, not me. ❞ the scholar's question goes deliberately unanswered as Robin offers a subtle smile instead ( with a hidden coyness flashing across a brown gaze ). her chin rests casually in the palm of her hand, propped up by an elbow, with the other forearm draped across the lap of her own crossed legs. the relaxed pose has become synonymous with the straw hats' archaeologist, especially when she feels like playing a little game. and to be on the other side of the table this time herself, well, she wouldn't deny if asked that she wanted to have her fun. 

   ❝ I'll ask the questions. ❞ she continues, taupe irises examining the man across from her with intent — searching his face for a reaction or perhaps another memory that places his face among the towering bookshelves of a long-lost library.

   ❝ so tell me, what is it you're skilled at? ❞ a redundant question, but still a formality, of course. 

╰ ☆ ✧ — @thecursivelegends / Kaimen asked: “ You know, when I was offered to be part of this mafia place. I didn't think I'd be on baby sitting duty. tch, this is stupid. ” Kaimen complained as he tucked his hands within the pockets of his new suit pants. “ I should be live streaming my achievements of findin' treasures from banks right now. They took my phone. . . say, what did you say your name was again?”

˗ˏˋ *ㅤ★ㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔 lurking around the mafia dungeons ? It wasn't as if they had the ability to go anywhere with these thick metal bars ! Never mind the fact that they COULD pick the locks if they tried butㅤ—ㅤno one needed to know that. They certainly weren't going to attempt in front of THIS weirdo.

⊱ ★ ⊰ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤIt must be REALLY nice to only have to worry about your fancy suits and your phone. Oh, and call me Yumeno.ㅤ❜

⊱ ★ ⊰ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤThe ONLY reason they even graced the man with their name was so that he wouldn't go off and ask another grunt. ' Q ' was quite frankly, a TERRIBLE name. They sit on the grimy floors; far too used to the confines of the cell as they gave the man a DEADPAN stare.

⊱ ★ ⊰ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤWHAT is livestreaming even ? Are you going to go jump in a stream ?ㅤ❜

   ❝ uh, yeah? nobody was eating it. ❞ not that Luffy had never taken food directly from a person's hand as it was on the way to their open mouth before … 

   ❝ finders keepers. i found it, so i ate it ! ❞

  staring at a distant point, unblinking, the straw hat captain pauses for an awkward period of silence. then dark brows knit together, Luffy frowns, and his attention swivels to the other man. 

  ❝i dunno what your job is.❞

                        [  23.  ]   sender  playfully  steals  something  from  receiver,                                      initiating  a  chase.   "come  and  get  it,  then."

          PLAYING  WITH  USOPP  ABOARD  THE  SUNNY        was  always  incredibly  fun  as  there  was  a  seemingly   endless   amount  of  games  for  the  both  of  them  to  play.  an  often  occuring  one  was  simply  tag  ,  and  with  the  size  of  the  sunny  it  was  easy  to  do  that  to  their  heart's  content.  that's  what  the  pair  was  currently  doing  at  the  moment   ⸻   chasing  one  another  up  and  down  the  deck  ,  laughing  and  screaming  and  throwing  stupid  punches  as  they  passed  the  time  between  islands.

          keeping  entertained  during  their  travels  was  a  little  difficult  half  the  time.  luffy  had  a   wildly   short  attention  span  as  it  was  ,  and  if  you  add  in  the  endless  ocean  he's  never  allowed  to  touch  for  fear  of  drowning   (  even  if  the  fish  in  there  are  suuuuper  tempting  )   he's  just  kind  of  stuck.  so  games  it  was!  as  luffy  and  usopp  rounded  a  sharp  corner  together  on  the  upper  deck  of  the  thousand  sunny  he  giggled  excitedly  ,  his  hand  catching  on  a  corner  to  keep  himself  from  skidding  off.

          at  some  point  usopp  had  managed  to  get  his  grubby  little  hands  on  luffy's  ever  so  precious  straw  hat  ,  and  he  was  determined  to  get  it  back.  reality  was   …   it  wasn't  going  to  be  that  hard  ,  but  he'd  gotten  so  many  lectures  over  the  years  about  not  destroying  ships  so  he  was  trying  to  at  least  be  sort  of  careful.  emphasis  on   sort  of.    “  usopp  give  my  back  my  hat!  ”     he  cried  out  ,   lips  tugging  into  a  grin  that  screamed  he  was  about  to  do  something  he   really   shouldn't.  but  who  was  going  to  stop  him  ,  huh?!
