Fuck my Life

[doubleppk]

Yeah. Remember all those seaking shares I bought? Just my luck.

Record storms continue to ravage the edges along the Grand Line and Calm Belts! Earlier this month, the Grand Line which commonly sees a great number of typhoons, saw a record number of storms skirting the edges of the Calm Belts. The Calm Belts of course, so named precisely because of their usual lack of winds or storms. While very few islands or people were affected by this, some were devastated. Ma and Pa Grubbs were particularly affected by this minor destruction.

Their fledging "seaking farm" took a particularly heavy blow when the seakings went crazy from the storm. "They jus' up and wen' nutters, ya know? One minute they were all peaceful like and then the storms came and the seakings, well they are wen' and freaked out like it was the end of the world. Kind of were the end of our world." A tearful Pa Grubbs sobbed onto his wife's shoulders. The Grubbs had just started their seaking farm on the edge of the Calm Belts as a means of raising seaking meat for Grand Line travelers.

The 200 acre "farm" was a small island with a large number of nets. During the latest storm's havoc however, the very seakings the Grubbs were raising went on a rampage attacking the island, destroying the nets and the poor Grubbs themslves only just got away. "Luckily," Ma Grubbs confided, "I put all our money investing into bath houses in Alabasta! So now at least we have someplace to go and we aren't completely financially ruined."

... Fuck my life.

It happened to my papa once when he was young and bought shares as well.
I'm sorry it got ruined, Fujiko-san.

[doubleppk]

Oh. What'd he invest in?

Thanks. Whatever. I'll find something new... eventually. Argh.

[chocogun.livejournal.com]

I'm really not surprised. I'd say "I told you so", but I actually didn't because I'd rather wait to see a post like this sooner or later.

[doubleppk]

Hn.

Yeah like I'm sure you've never made a bad investment too. Tch.

[saint-rosette.livejournal.com]

Shares??? oh it's that thing with economics -
Don't worry, you'll find something else!!! have chocolate, it always helps me!!!

[doubleppk]

Yes.

Oh. Thanks. ^_^ Is the kitchen still a mess?

[herotoyouall.livejournal.com]

Told ya.

[doubleppk]

*sigh*

Yeah yeah. I know. It just... tch. It seemed like a REALLY good idea at the time.

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

Luckily for you, a bit of piracy and you'll be right back to square one. ;)

[doubleppk]

Hypothetically. Except that would ruin certain other things I've been working on.

[isahusband.livejournal.com]

S'too bad. S'ry.

[doubleppk]

Uh. Thanks. S'fine. Or it will be. Eventually. Maybe.

[king-rubber.livejournal.com]

What's going on? Did the seakings run away?

[doubleppk]

Yes. After wrecking up the place.

[justicereigns]

This is what we call 'the obvious result of blatant stupidity'.

[doubleppk]

... Tch.

I don't need the lecture old man.

[onewithwild.livejournal.com]

Ah? So, what now?

[doubleppk]

No idea. I guess there might be a few bounties I could go after. I have to think.

[normalskeptic.livejournal.com]

...and I'm guessing you didn't put any of your money in any other shares.

[doubleppk]

Tch. Haven't you ever heard of the expression, "No risk, no gain."

[scoppio-di-ira.livejournal.com]

This is why you don't invest all of your money into one item. Or at least have a back up plan if shit like this happens.

[doubleppk]

I have back up plans I just don't want to employ them yet when waiting would be a lot more fruitful.

And I had to invest all into one. It wouldn't MAKE anything otherwise.

[chaolingshen.livejournal.com]

Wow, sounds to me like the investment was doomed from the get-go.

[doubleppk]

Doomed from the get-go. I'll show you doomed from the get-go. It COULD have worked out just fine. Who are you to tell me about money anyway?! What are you 6?

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that, Fujiko. What are you planning to do next?

[doubleppk]

Maybe some bounty hunting. I'll have to do some investigating, see what I can find nearby that's quick and easy but still worth the time and effort. I'd kill for just a nice little treasure map right now.

What about you? How's the Grand Line treating you?

[onewithwild.livejournal.com]

Ah... Fuji. I've a question.

This world. When people come here, is it possible that some are from the future, some are from the past?

[doubleppk]

Yes. Exactly that in fact. People have come here who know each other in their own worlds and come from completely different times. In some cases I believe there are some people who have come from versions of worlds that might have been.

Is this about the guy you called a noble?

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

I have something else for you, Fujiko.

[doubleppk]

Yeah? ^_^

Something good I hope though I appreciate the warning if it's not.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

I am sorry it did not work out.

(ooc: sorry I'm late X__X)

ooc: Not late at all!

[doubleppk]

Ah well... these things... Happen. A lot. Especially to me.

I'm thinking of bounty hunting to recoup my losses. And for justice. You interested?

[suicidalsensei.livejournal.com]

[doubleppk]

Yo.

[sandlogia.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

[doubleppk]

....

Tch.
