So the kid's not feelin' so hot- ah. Minato, to clarify. Yeah yeah name rings a bell for legions of ya I figure so.... stuff it.

I've got 'im for a while and I ain't takin' no visits. If you've got somethin' to say, hold it in unless you think it's worth takin' rest from him. 

[yeah. just try it now, folks.]

He's not dead, so don't freak out about goin' without 'im for a while. 

[click!]

[ooc: chances of Motochika actually responding to this are low ahahaha-]

I'm not going to chicken out if we meet face to face if that's what you are asking here.

[>:T He is the angriest lil twerp.]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

That so? Fine then. Got dull anyway.

Where you at, punk?

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

I can be wherever you want me to be, old man.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Not a bad answer. I'm headed back to the lake myself if you know where that is without someone holding your hand.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

I'll beat you there.

[Well, no. Maybe he won't depending on how close Motochika is. But damnit, he will be trying.]

[to action!]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[He'll just be scoffing at that and hanging up.

And you know what, Jim. He hates losing.

So he'll be taking the air travel option and riding his fire-propelled anchor all the way there.]

[Pirate action!]

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

[And Jim will be making his way over real quick too. Though being that he is just on his two feet, he's not going to beat aniki there. Damnit. When he gets there, he glares huffily at him.]

Cheater.

[Not that he totally wouldn't have used his solar surfer if he had it.]

[pirate action for all time]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[Motochika will just laugh and hop off his anchor and impale it on the ground next to him.]

It ain't cheatin' if there's no rules.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Then maybe next time we should agree on some rules.

[He is just going to fold his arms and stare up at him. Look, he is every bit as mouthy and sassy face to face as through the communicator. Aren't you happy, Aniki?]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[.... lololol. Yeah, he's laughing at him. Oh wow, was he like that as a teenager-]

Where's the fun in that?

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

A fair test of skills.

[Oh look at this eyeroll]

But I guess if you are scared of that, I won't make you.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Jimjam? You're about as persuasive as a sand crab.

Nice try, though.

Real skills come from winnin' out of holdin' nothing back.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

[Just eyeing him up and down.]

Well, I guess you can't expect much more of a pirate.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[Was that supposed to goad him on? Because all he's gonna do is shrug.]

Do tend to be a pretty nasty lot. Hard to say otherwise.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, tell me about.

[sorry. Having a bunch of pirates burn down his home is still very fresh in his mind.]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[... oh. That's even harsher than he expected.]

... So? How'd we wrong ya?

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

How about we start with the part where you burned down my home, burned down mom's livelihood. Montressor's not exactly a money pit, you know. That inn was all we got.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[He considers that... and then he shoves his hands in his pockets, cocking his head to the side.]

S'unfortunate. Condolences to you and your mother.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks. That will definitely help rebuild our inn from the ashes.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[a blank stare]

Hell you want me to do, Jim? I'm a pirate. I take what I want, go treasure hunting, and all that shit, yeah.

But I ain't the pirate who wronged you and your ma. Don't go takin' a bias and pressing it on every one ya meet.

Besides. You and your ma will be fine. I don't have a doubt about that and you shouldn't either.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Of course we'll be fine. We always are. Just not thanks to your kind.

[Sorry, man. He just kinda holds grudges.]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Nope. But you know my kind is still human, right? Or maybe they're not- but I thought it was damn impressive of ya not to judge even if some of us ain't from earth.

Y'know pirates got their own reasons too- and just because you're a pirate doesn't mean you can't be anythin' else.

[Really, he's not taking this all too personally. It's a grudge he can understand, but... his crew is made up of pirates. And he will always defend his crew from even the smallest of threats.]
