[Lupin is sitting in front of the camera, looking a little confused, a little shy.]

Soooo....  [Behind him stand a young man in a top hat and older clothing who seems very similar to the thief, and a beautiful young Japanese woman in a yukata.] Um. Guys. Meet my mama, and papi. [There is another figure, but his back is turned to Lupin and the other

Grand Line always is.

Well, at least it doesn't get too dull. Right when I think I'll be bored for a day, I get attacked by sea kings or hit with ghosts.

[chocogun]

I won't call them ghosts.

Ghosts are of dead people. And not all of these figures are dead.

[thee_bestthief]

... Holographs, then? I need a stereotype word, or how else do I describe them?

[sanctus_memoria]

Your parents...?

[best_thief]

Yup, and my grandpa~!

[sanctus_memoria]

Ah I'd love to say it's nice to meet them but- I wish there was more emotion in these ghosts...

[best_thief]

Ah, well, it's still a little nice to seem them--well, nice to see two of the three, anyway. I'm not really a big fan of my father.

[needs_a_plan]

...You know, that's weird - your dad is the only one I've seen who doesn't stare at the person they're haunting.

[theebest_thief]

Like I told you, dad didn't really follow the groove of my other folks. He wasn't a horrible man, but he grew up with an ego bigger than mine. And a lot of spite for a lot of people, myself and my mother included.

[needs_a_plan]

Ego bigger than yours? I'm having trouble imagining that. Anyway, he looks like an asshole.

[theebestthief]

Yeah... Well, he was a big enough asshole to deny me as his son without bothering to see the facts. Even if it meant getting me out of that shit orphanage.

[theebest_thief]

Well, I've seen weirder. Especially here. So this fits 'kind of' to me.

[theebest_thief]

I dunno, some people are saying they can't be spirits. Aya-chan says she can't feel any ki in them, or something... I'm thinking they're more like illusions.
