Fuck my Life

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.

... Lectured on what?! I'm in my mid-20s! It's not like I know nothing about life.

You want to pet him, don't you? I knew it~ You can't keep him though, he's mine.

Oh don't get me wrong, I prefer it this way. I just wanted to see if I could make you freak out about him. Jyabura's not even a real pirate anyway. Ex-government agent getting hunt down for something that isn't fault. More like outlaw. But he's a good guy. He protects the kids on the ship and even though he doesn't want to admit it, he's really good with them.

Yet you still need lectures.

Petting a hedgehog would hurt. So no.

And I care because? Fine, he looks to be... all right. Just don't expect me to sing his praises.

.... On what?

Are you thinking of porcupines? Either way they have soft underbellies.

It's fine. I'll settle for not open hostility. The only thing you guys got along in the past over was little kids and even then in a grumbly-growl-barely hostile way.

And... better him than Crocodile. Or Lupin... or Poon. Or really just any of my exes. Or anyone period.

Apparently you can't pick up my sarcasm, seeing as everything I've said on this subject has been sarcastic.

I have no idea why you think I give a damn... but I don't.

I don't remember talking to him before. But I'll be happy to just ignore when I can.

You're obviously happy with him. At the moment, I'd say that's all that matters.

... But you lectured me all the time Taisa. ~~You still do.~~

Because it's a JUSTICE pet!

Yeah... ok. Well he's kind of... the same about you. I haven't really told him I skip out to come see you sometimes. But I think he knows he just sort of... tolerates it.

I am. Even if I want to leave a lot.

I advise. I never lecture.

... are you high?

He's a big boy, now. I'm sure he can handle it.

At least you realise you shouldn't. Facing up to that kind of thing, and doing what you know you should do, rather than panicking and giving in... it's good.

Uh-huh. Sure.

No. Are you?
Tch. Sorry. I do need a smoke. But no, I'm not high. When you meet him you'll understand.

Doesn't mean I'm going to tell him either. I'm pretty sure he DOES know and that it doesn't phase him too much since he can smell the smoke on me when I get back but...

Maybe. Sometimes... I don't really know what I should or shouldn't do. I just know... Hn. Jyabura says I should trust my instincts. I'm trying. I can't yet because... I don't... trust... anything. Except maybe my guns and motorcycles. But... my instincts say I shouldn't run. And I don't want to until I see this through. And losing Jyabura would be... so stupid. I'd lose everything and gain nothing.

Exactly.

That he's a justice pet?

He knows, and he either doesn't care, or is willing to put up with it. Until you think he has a problem with it, why worry? If you're that twitchy over it, just tell him.

Good. You should never run without a damn good reason, and I don't see one here. A year ago, would you have said you could come this far?

Tch.

Yes. ... He is! Okay. Remember when you were a wolf? Well... not remember but remember me TELLING you about it? You were a Justice pup! I made you a theme song. Silver is like that. Minus the theme song. And a hedgehog instead.

I'm not. I don't think it bothers him that much and I think he'd rather I didn't directly say "Hey I'm going to go see the marines now and play double agent and possibly get myself killed! Be back soon!" He knows I'm leaving for a bit and I'll be back and if I'm not back soon to come get me.

Hn. And... I don't know. Maybe. I didn't really think I had a need to run. Just that I wanted to. It's only when I stopped running that I started getting more... antsy about it. Since I've been doing it for so long. Maybe I needed to all along just didn't want to admit.

.... why do I admit to knowing you?

Then don't worry about it.

That's exactly what I figured. You don't need to run, at least not now. Just keep at it.

Because you're pretty much me but older, wiser, and without having been kicked out of the police force/marines. So I kind of don't leave you a choice. <3 You either know me or I freak you out with how much I know you.

I'm not.

Mn. I'll... try. Tch. It's hard. And I know... it's supposed to be it's just... I don't know that I'm strong enough or brave enough. I don't want you to say I am... I just... don't know.

And male.
I meant that I shouldn't admit to know you, when you're a maniac who makes up theme tunes. But whatever.

Then shut up about it.

The only thing you can do is try. Just take it a day at a time, instead of looking forward for all the things that could go wrong.

I know what you meant Taisa. And I was bored and you wouldn't let me sit still long enough to listen to headphones. Also... I was trying to annoy you. Succeeded by the way.

Justice dog fights for justice
He beats up pirates and their ilk
Hunting down evil enemies
Jaws tearing through their silk!

Whatever. I'm not a song-writer.

Hn.
Okay.

Actually, be a pirate. Anything except a song-writer.

Wow Taisa! That was almost as good a reaction as the first time! Course I fixed it with getting you steak though. At the time, that meant more.

And tch. I'm not taking up song-writing ever.

Don't expect to forgive you this time.

That's a mercy.

Awww.... not even for justice?

You're banned from my ship.

But I was gonna bring you a present in a couple hours!

... the arrests?

Yup.

And cigars. Kings Royal. Your brand. AND rum. Of course.

And a little girl who wants to meet you.

.... Hm.

What?

<3?

You'll have to me come~ Or at least let her come. But I might miss you too. Maybe. A little.

Tch.

Just bring the damn prisoners, woman.
