[Filtered from Hazama, Hazama, and Hazama]

Uh.

[...

...oh the most sheepish of tones.]

If someone is near the tunnels, I could--

[and then there's a heavy shifting sound and a sleepy voice can be heard.]

Huh...?  [Followed by a sharp gasp.]

--hold that thought.

[Journal slam.  We'll be right back after these messages. >_>]

All right. Sounds like a good idea. [Because lord knows it's been a long three days. She'll yawn again, rocking back on her feet before she rights herself.]

[...it almost looks like that large, blue webbed hand reached out from the gloom by the doorway to steady her, settling down on Nami's shoulder in a proprietary sort of fashion. And there's someone grinning a very, very sharp-toothed grin just behind her.]

[Your nakama? Is that so? The words are almost lazy, leaning one hand against the closed bedroom door as he looks up at the skeleton. Brook has the height; Arlong has the bulk. Grin. If you say so. She knows who she belongs to.

And the grin might be smug, but his words ring slightly hollow. Yeah. Nami knows who she 'belongs' to. And Arlong knows it, too.]

[Hm, those teeth really are sharp. >_>

...

Right then.]

Everyone on this crew knows just who she belongs with. [Nami belongs to no one.]

[Action] But I only have one. Arlong always glares like this obv. mikangirl July 30 2010, 11:54:46 UTC
[And the smile slides away from his face, leaving an ugly scowl in its wake. Arlong leans back, eyes glittering with fury - and an underlying, knowing malice. Your crew? Don't make me laugh. What use does she have for a captain who can't even protect himself, let alone his tools?]

Luffy-san is not nearly as good with tools as he is with people. [Is it strange how Arlong's fury merely strengthens his resolve to keep talking?] And if he can't protect her, I scarcely believe she'd be safer with you. Arlong, isn't it?

[Why yes. He's actually heard of you.]

[Action] Point! mikangirl July 30 2010, 15:32:21 UTC
[Yeah, that's me. And he'll move away from Nami's room to ...sit on a sofa chair, nice and comfy. Seems he has no intent of fighting right now. You have a lot of faith in that scrawny captain of yours, don't you?]

[Brook just... watches. One hand held atop of that cane. He's wary of this guy.]

It is well-placed.

[That so? And he sounds amused, now. She doesn't.]

I doubt that.

[No? Webbed fingers drumming idly on the chair arm. Grin. She shows him no respect, she fights, she doesn't do what she's told. She'd rather go to that boy's enemies than place any trust in him. What 'faith'? And he tilts his head, propping his cheek on one hand as he regards Brook with a sneer. Not that I can blame her. He's useless.]

Now see here! This is not your typical pirate crew. I may not have been with them for long, but I can tell you that any one of us would gladly give our lives for that man! [An image springs to mind clearly here. Thriller Bark. Kuma. Give me the head of your Strawhat Luffy and you will be spared.

And Nami's voice ringing just as loudly as the others. Like hell.]

That does not come about without holding respect for such an individual! The rest goes without saying.

[You'd gladly give your lives. I see. The anger is back, burning deep behind that knowing gaze, but Arlong doesn't move, beyond his free hand sliding off the chair arm and out of sight. Admirable to show such loyalty for your captain, despite his failings.]

As I said before - It is well-deserved. I will not have you badmouth my captain any longer.

[But badmouthing is all he can do, Brook. And thus he'll do it in spades.

Well, that and have some fun at your expense. His hand flicks up, sending something sailing gently across the space towards the musician.

One familiar-looking straw hat, badly torn and streaked with blood.]

[If it were possible for a skeleton to stand any more rigidly, now would be the time where one would see it. Brook catches the hat gingerly - the blood is fresh and stains his fingertips, contrasting red against bone white.

There is a part of Brook that forgets here that he should be taking anything that he sees with a grain of salt. Luffy's hat is to the captain as Brook's afro is to himself, he knows. Even if this isn't real, it should not be here.

A dangerous edge slips into his voice now.] Where did you get this?

[And there's a snort. Off the corpse of your captain. Where else?

...a shark's grin has many, many teeth.]
