[The feed clicks on and the background behind Motochika is still moving as he's carelessly free-falling out of the sky, having turned on his SFC mid-descent. Though there's a flash of something as there's suddenly a large thud that falls behind him. The pirate however, seems unperturbed like he has to take care of this every day. Which, all things considered, wouldn't be a huge surprise, right?

There's only a soft 'hup' as he finally lands on the deck of his ship, a piece of tentacle laying a fair ways away from it.]

That was a hell of a wake-up call.

[He yawns.]

So... Can we eat it?

[He's about to turn off the feed - really, he only wanted to let the kids know he was awake - before he hesitates and thinks of something else.]

Ah... The pirate ship in the South-West quadrant is free for those who can't fight against this lummox. Let me know if ya need a place to stay, yeah? I'll open it up for as long as ya need.

[filtered to SEES, Renton, Jim, Red, Silver, & N]

Invitation not optional for you kids. I need to see all of ya.

Renton, Jim, you especially, y'hear? We'll talk about self-defense lessons after ya check in.

Aniki!

[... Oh right there was a message directed towards him—]

Um... self-defence lessons?

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Can ya use a weapon?

[straight-forward yeah yeah yeah]

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[Give him a moment.]

Well, I've held a gun a couple of times, but I've never fired one, so I guess that doesn't count...

[... This conversation topic makes him kind of uncomfortable, but as much as he doesn't like it, he understands why it's being brought up.]

Sorry. I've never really fought outside of an LFO.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[A sigh.]

Thought so. Listen kid, I won't stop ya from tryin' to help people 'cause I can't sit still when things like this happen either. But runnin' in there blind is the same as lookin' to die.

Get to the ship soon 'cause I've got a couple responsibilities I need ya to handle, alright?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Ah... sure! What kind of responsibilities...?

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

If I leave the ship to you and Jim, ya think you could make sure it's still standin' while I'm away?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Wait, what? You'd really leave the ship to us?

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

If ya think you can handle it, I ain't got no reason to doubt ya.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

[Grinning now—]

R-Really? Thanks, Aniki! I promise we won't let you down! I'll make sure that Diane doesn't cause any trouble.

[A pause]

... It is okay that I bring her, right? She's my Pokemon.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Well, so long as she don't cause any trouble then I don't care.

When'd you get yer hands on one of those critters, too? Seems like they're all over the place now.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

I swear I'll look after her!

... Not that I don't already, I mean, but—you get the point!

[Blink]

Cheren had eggs about two months ago, and... he trusted me with one.

[... There's a slightly melancholic look on his face as he says that.]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[... ahhh. He nods vaguely.]

I gotcha. Well, you best make sure that she stays safe too, alright? I'll leave Chibioni at the ship if ya need any extra help.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Of course I will. She's important to me.

[A nod]

Roger that.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

I'll meet'cha outside then. Hurry up and be safe.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

I'll be there as soon as I can!

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

... just stay safe, too.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

... Why do you always have to make it sound like I'm trying to get myself killed?
