Wrapping Paper

Robin~chan! Thank-you for the necklace! Just got it in the mail finally! <3

But I really have to ask. Crocodile wrapping paper? Why? Isn't that a little... strange? Cute though:

And I have no idea what to do with the erasers. Even if they're cute too:

~~If you're trying to send a message, it's unecessary. I got it. Jeez.~~

Also between this and Father's Day it got me wondering. There's thousands of types of wrapping paper with some strange, sometimes cute designs. Anyone have a favorite? Do you guys just use whatever's cheap/handy or get something personal for the person it's for, or personal coming from you?

You were shocked because you usually have bad relationships with superiors, and you did not have that sort of relationship with Smoker?

The term "star-crossed" implies that two people cannot be together. At any rate, pardon the assumption, but it seems that you did not sleep with him, or at the very least that you certainly didn't do so consistently. You are quite an attractive woman by typical standards, but if you did not offer him access to your body, I see little reason why a person such as him would continually pursue you based on appearance alone. Perhaps he enjoys the challenge and hasn't found anyone he considers to be as attractive as you, but it's doubtful that he has no other reasons for wanting to be around you. I would not go so far as to assume that he loves you or is even romantically attracted to you, but based on what few interactions I've witnessed, it wouldn't surprise me if he considered you a friend of sorts.

No. Because my ah not getting along with people who gave me orders got me kicked out of every military organization I've been in. And the Japanese police force. It might even account for a few of the countries that I was exiled from. Smoker wasn't in a position of authority over me so there's no reason necessarily we wouldn't get along but... it's been YEARS since anyone offered me a position in the miliary and from what I'd heard about the world government I was well... shocked.... But... I don't know... I keep thinkng if my officers had been more like Smoker or Garp... Nevermind it's a moot point.

....

While I personally never liked the Marines, I won't tell you that you would make a bad one. But the point is that, as a person who does not trust easily, you ought to know better than to want to trust the World Government in any capacity. Much as it pains me to admit, both the Commodore and the Vice Admiral are men of honor who would not hurt you or use you and discard you, but entering the military is a gamble; you never know who you'll end up with. Are you sure you know what you would be fighting for?

I do know better, yes. There's a reason I dawdled, I figured it had to be a trap even if Smoker didn't mean it that way.

And fighting for? Tch. I'm not even going to pretend that I understand Justice. I don't understand Smoker's view of it or why it's so important. I considered it as a second chance. To see what would happen.

But I told Smoker before and it still stands, he's the only one allowed to give me orders. Not because I trust him. I just... respect him.

If you don't understand or believe in justice, you shouldn't try to work for it.

...I have little respect for justice as I used to see it anymore, and none at all for the people I worked for. But I am tired of seeing people fight in its name without comprehending its gravity.

Protecting other people I can understand. Getting rid of scum? That I can understand. I don't want to kill Darcia out of revenge but so that the stupid fucker won't do it again to somebody else.

But laws? Politics? Governments? I don't get. I don't really try to get anymore.

That's justice, Fujiko. But if you don't understand politics, you're better off not trying to pledge your services to an institution that lives by them.

I wasn't planning on ever pledging my life to the World Governmnt. I've pledged my life to governments... over and over again. And they usually cast me aside and trie to kill me in the end.

The World Government is likely to do that.

So I learned.

..........................................................

I.... he.... you....

......

Tch.

He...

I... specifically didn't sleep with him for well a number of reasons but also because... if I had he wouldn't be curious. I know I was a challenge to him and that's why he kept coming back. And granted. Bad timing I could have done without but...

Whether he considers me a friend or not I don't care. Maybe he does. But he only makes friends with people who've tried to kill him it seems. And he's so... stupid. I never did. Not once. And he just... I'd really like to strangle him. And he used to say I was the only one allowed to stab him in the back. Woman's perogative. And maybe he meant that to be romantic but it infuriated me. Because he never gave me a chance not to either and always assumed I eventually would and...

You never trusted him not to hurt you. Why should he have trusted you not to hurt him?

I did. He just... I wasn't asking for his trust just a better chance.

Well, perhaps you ought to tell him that.

Ahahaha... what? Jeez... no! No way! Are you kidding? First off... I don't want back in his life. I'd just as soon we kept our distance this time. Secondly... I'm not telling him anything like that... ever. And thirdly... I'm done making myself miserable with him.

Good. Now just convince yourself of that, and you'll be fine.

I am convinced of that. What makes you think I'm not?

Jyabura's the only thing that proves my luck isn't thoroughly 100% abysmal all the time. I'm not going to mess that up for someone with whom I'd already KNOW how things would turn out. I want to see this through to see what does happen. I'm not going to sabotage myself on this. Especially not for Lupin.

You obviously have feelings for him - feelings about him, rather. You've a history together, so it's understandable.

Tch. I'm told you don't stop caring about people just because you don't want to even think about them. But it doesn't matter. Whatever I feelings I once held or might still linger I have no intentions to do anything with them.

That's fine, but the point remains that the feelings exist and that you have to deal with them.

By doing what exactly? Talking to him about them? Never.

If I knew how to deal with emotion, I would tell you. Perhaps you could speak to someone who might be able to advise you better on the subject.

I'd just as soon not. *sigh* I don't really see who I'd ask or what about.

Well, neither do I. But I hope you figure it out. You're more annoying than usual when in the midst of emotional crisis.
