Have you ever woken up with a craving for everything, ever? [No, but seriously. The courthouse has been taken over. Boxes of cigars, the most unhealthy food he could get out of the shops possible, a single bottle of booze (it's hard when you've got a pirate emperor's son hoarding it all) and apparently.... smooth rocks? Go on and hazard a guess what that's about. But seriously, if there's a minor vice, it seems he's been addicted.]

Nothing is making this headache go away.

I'd take pills, but at this point I'd probably get addicted to them too. God damn it. Anyone got a solution? Or something?

And Washu, that motorcycle ride will come... whenever this headache goes away. Damn.

[ooc: Right I got sick with bad timing (always) so this is pretty late. Smoker's chip event is still in effect, anyone else can have their characters addicted to and/or craving anything you feel like! Sorry it's late! It runs through the 7th though if you still want to get a post in!]

[justicereigns]

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid that at the moment.

Not that I normally have a problem with addictions.

[...... That is a lie. Just. Oh dear god, such a lie. Even if technically it's just denial because he doesn't really mean it to be a lie or anything. OTL]

[crabbygenius]

[She raises an eyebrow at that. If this is the result of his chip being removed, Washu has the distinct impression that what he just said was a bold faced lie.]

...Right.

[justicereigns]

[Yup.]

[And Smoker just nods, a little bit of relief showing on his face.]

Glad you understand. Hina'd never let me live this down usually.

[crabbygenius]

I bet.

[-She- may not let him live this down after her own addictions go away.]

[justicereigns]

[A shrug.]

Some friends huh.

[In other words you're all terrible.]

[crabbygenius]

The best kind.

[There's another calm sip. They were the kind that didn't let him forget the stupid things so he didn't repeat them.]

[justicereigns]

[That's one way to think of it. If not the way that Smoker does.]

I'll drink to that.

[He still loves them though. In his own tsundere as hell way.]

[crabbygenius]

[Good.]

We can both drink to that.

[She offers up her mug of coffee so he can pour a bit of whatever alcohol he's drinking in.]

[justicereigns]

[Pours her up some rum in that coffee. Hopefully she doesn't mind it strong, because that's the only way Smoker takes anything.]

Your friends ever like that too?

[crabbygenius]

[Strong is perfectly fine with her. If she wanted to she could probably drink her daughter under the table... if she ever wanted to.]

You mean idiots that need to be saved from themselves?

[Washu grins.]

Every single one of them and I love them for it.

[justicereigns]

[Grins back a little.] Sounds like "nakama."

[Especially since she said some of them were space pirates.]

[crabbygenius]

Oh~?

[Now she's curious about that.]

[justicereigns]

Yeah. I've never really had any myself. [Marine =/= pirate. Although Hina and Tashigi come close with him.] But from everything I can tell, that's exactly how most crews describe their nakama. They might not always get along, but they're coworkers and their common goals are enough to push past any differences.

[crabbygenius]

Then I guess that work describes the Masaki household perfectly~.

[justicereigns]

Family, huh?

Must be nice. [No comments from him whether he'd know anything about what that's like however.]

[crabbygenius]

Some of them, yes. Others you could say are extended family.

[That just leaves her to speculate.]

What about you? Any close friends like that back home?

[justicereigns]

Definitely sounds like nakama then.

Nakama? No. I've sort of got an adopted brother in the East Blue and a niece, his daughter Carol. But otherwise, just Hina who's always trying to boss me around, and my second-in-command Tashigi.

[crabbygenius]

Well it sounds like you have a few good friends at least.
