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.

Pity.

Hn. I don't really miss anyone.

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Suddenly it feels as if a cold wind's blown in!

Really?

[doubleppk]

Oh?

... Yes. Maybe. Why not?

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Fujiko-san doesn't sound so sure about that~

[doubleppk]

I'm mostly sure.

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Well, if Fujiko-san is ever not completely sure, you should know it's fine to miss them.

[doubleppk]

I don't miss them so it's not an issue.

And if I did... it wouldn't matter. Doesn't change anything unless I allow it to and I won't. I don't want to miss them.

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Because it would hurt?

[doubleppk]

Tch.

What do you think?

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

I think that hurting is part of living, all considered.

[doubleppk]

Tch. Well it's not a problem because I don't miss them.

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

If you say so~

[doubleppk]

If I said I missed them and the sub is lonely and boring with so fewer people around would it convince you to switch ships?

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Would Fujiko-san mean it if she said that, I wonder?

[doubleppk]

...

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

...?

[doubleppk]

I might.

Yes. I miss them. I knew I would... it's why I stayed on the sub. And all this.... people expecting me to know what to do and handle it... I can... but what about when I screw up? When I can't do everything as well as the others? Or just... screw up period. Gon and Killua and Ipin ... they weren't just fun to be around, and they were, but they were reliable. If there was a problem they handled it. Gon and Killua always said not to treat them like kids because they could probably kick my ass and were on their own and full-fledged hunters in their world. I miss them. For a lot of reasons. When they were here everything was fun. They'd invite me to go fishing and Gon came up with this idea to keep a squirtgun up my sleeve so we used to practice on each other and Ipin was like... when I couldn't explain something to Jyabura she could. And...

I don't normally just spend time with people and have that much fun. They get sick of me after awhile or I run away or something happens. I didn't expect it to last but I thought I'd run. I know why they had to leave and I'm not even mad at them for it... and I wish I was because maybe I wouldn't miss them so much.

That's quite a bit to worry about~ But I think it's okay for Fujiko-san to be a bit more open; no one can help if they don't know anything's wrong, mm?

All in all it's painful, but try to face forward~ There's nothing that can be done, after all, and if Fujiko-san thinks such sad thoughts all the time, eventually they'll be impossible to forget.

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

I don't want their help. If everyone knows what's wrong they can use it against me too.

Hn. I guess... But if I could control what I thought about I wouldn't overthink anything I suppose.

Re: Private

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Not everyone! But would Toboe-kun or Orphe or Silver-kun really use anything against you, I wonder~?

Practice makes perfect.

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

Ah... maybe... maybe not. But either way they miss the others as well. I'm not going to whine about it and make them sadder than they already are.

Maybe. But if I'm going to forget anything it'd be Lupin. And if I forget Lupin then I won't remember what made me stronger. And somethings... if I want to be stronger then remembering the bad is important too. Without it we'd just be weak. For all the bad as long as I can out alive at least I'll know better next time. But if I don't remember, I won't know better next time either.

Re: Private

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Rather than being sad separately, you could always be sad together.

Ah, that wasn't what I meant! Rather, if one thinks about something all the time, it'll eventually take over so one can think of nothing else.

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

Hn. I guess we could all use a break. Everyone here loved Killua and Gon and Ipin and Lambo. I mean... Lambo's still around but not on the sub so it's not as bad but the sub is really quiet. Maybe we should all try to take Lucci off-guard during his visit. Or go treasure hunting. Whichever.

Oh.... hm. I guess... you're kind of right. I've never been able to get Lupin completely out of my head. I just... sort of section him off and ignore him.

Re: Private

[butwhenyousmile.livejournal.com]

Exactly, something like that!

Occasionally I do know what I'm talking about~
