What's the deal with kids? On another note: SDC News (ooc: Long post is long)

[doubleppk]

So yeah. Kids. Who needs them right? They're brats. And frustrating. And... I don't know. I miss them. I hate kids... but not always. Because some of them are really cool. And I've done tutoring and sometimes it's really nice to see a kid actually not turn out so badly just because I was able to help. That doesn't happen a lot for me, you know? But sometimes. And jeez... there are TONS of people here who have kids or raise kids or tutor kids or are kids or want kids. So yeah. To all of you. What's up with that? Do you like kids? Why? Would you want your own? Do you just prefer raising them? Are you sick of them after a couple of years? Want more? What's the deal?



Attention remaining Sweet Death Crew Members.

We're basically... *sigh* I'll be honest, I don't really know where to begin with this. Killua and Gon sent a letter. Their lead on Gon's Dad turned out to be solid so they're going to follow that down. They're not coming back. Ipin is continuing the training and currently sending letters to Jyabura. That said... the crew has been left to us. I'd just as soon rather not continue with the captain rotation schedule as it's been disorganized and not really well utilized for some time. So... positions.

Jyabura -- secret real captain. Take your problems to him.
Me (Fujiko if you really need the reminder of my name) -- I'll do the navigating, some tactics and as far as marines/bounty hunters go we'll let them think I'm Captain because I have a clean record here.
Rosette -- in charge of ammo, firepower and demon-fighting.
Orphe -- foreign relations regarding most other crews (not including the Seven Sins which will be handled as a crew), marines, ports etc.
Toboe -- In charge of keeping an eye on supplies so that we know when to dock to get more. This includes food, soap, etc.
Elphaba -- Vet. stuff until we get another doctor.
Silver -- Continuing the justice stuff... and anything else you want.
Poland -- You already know what you're in charge of. Oh and without Ipin as our cover she's all yours. Just ah... keep her quiet. ;)

We still need: A good cook and a doctor. Anyone requesting a different position/added duties may as well do so now. Fay~ darling~ would you like to come stay on the sub rather than the Vongola? Mokona can come too of course. <3

Also. As our only wanted member is now Jyabura we're not really pirates. We pretty much haven't been much of pirates since I got here. So we're going full steam on bounty hunters. Don't let me catch any of you calling us pirates or I'll whap you.

Objections? None. Awesome. Anyone wanting to find me in person, I'm in the controls room. With a bottle of rum and a very long music play-list. I'm not freaking out but I'm not in a good mood. You're forewarned.

Great. Just call me Designated Problem Man.

...You're putting Toboe in charge of food? I don't think he knows what soap is.

[doubleppk]

Awesome. ^_^ This is why I love you. Among other things.

No, he's in charge of informing people when it gets low. I figure he has to do this already since it's usually his fault. <3 Or Rosette's. Or when they team up. They're scary.

He knows, he just hates it.

Hey, I'll do great!
It's not my fault I eat a lot of meat.

[agent-wolf.livejournal.com]

...You okay?

Re: [Private]

[doubleppk]

I don't know.

No. Not really.

Maybe.

The week was good. It got worse again. I don't know. I miss them.

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

It has its ups and downs, really. I've really been luckier than most.

And poaching already, Fujiko? It's been what, an hour?

[doubleppk]

I see. So with all the work and time and whatever you put into tutoring Dino and Tsuna, is it worth it? I don't know you're kind of lucky. In general the kids I tutored I never see again. It's probably better that way but sometimes I wonder if they're even alive...

^_^ We need a cook, what can I say? Besides we're all in the same fleet~ <3

Bounty hunters?
Explain me how that works; as far as I know, you should have a bounty too.

[doubleppk]

I don't. In this world.

And why should I? I have the marines mostly putting me under a goody two-shoes category. I worked for that, remember? Tch. So far as most marines are concerned, I'm an inch away from being one of them. I wouldn't even attempt to walk around a marine base otherwise.

[onewithwild.livejournal.com]

Ah? Me, in charge of something? REALLY?

I'LL DO MY BEST!

[doubleppk]

Of course! One of the most important things! If you don't do well we'll be in trouble! ;) So I'm relying on you! <3

You can do it! <3

Children are wonderful.
It is getting quite lonely here...I would be honored to take care of whatever you need me to. What would my duties include?

[doubleppk]

Hmn. Do you want ones of your own?

Hn. Well mostly just diplomatic stuff. Making sure any ports we stop at realize we're not pirates there to kill them, distracting any pirates ships or whatever. And talking to/dealing with marines so that they know we aren't pirates, wanted, and turning over prisoners.

[segnato.livejournal.com]

Children are brats.

[doubleppk]

Most, yes.

[kirin-ja.livejournal.com]

Ah, children.

I can tell you with no doubt in my mind and absolutely no regret that I do not want children at all. I do not mind children as long as their parents are not letting them run around like wild, screaming banshees. I firmly believe that if you can hardly take care of yourself and your own responsibilities, then you have no right to attempt raising a child.

[doubleppk]

Hn. I really... can't take care of myself all that fantastically. But... I don't know. It's so complicated.

[fireofshandora.livejournal.com]

I once told Robin that, if there was one thing I could have done differently before my arrival in this place, I would have had another child. Nothing brought me more joy than raising Muse to be the strong woman she became.

...All your flaws, your problems, everything that he held dear in the world do not matter once you've held your infant child in your arms for the first time.

[doubleppk]

I see.

Hmn.

Have you considered having kids here? In this time I mean.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

I never plan on having kids and I don't like them.

[doubleppk]

Right.

I need a cigarette break. Meet me in 5?

[sandlogia.livejournal.com]

You have my respect. Captain Mountains.

What the fuck?!

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

But if I came to the sub, I'm sure Hayanyan would miss me so~

Kids are so refreshing, aren't they?

[doubleppk]

He could come visit~ He can even smoke on the sub now that Gon's gone.

Hn. Are they?
