Contemplating Fast Food

[sleepy-fire.livejournal.com]

Ace hadn't really said much at the little welcome meeting. It was great and all, getting their excited out and repeating what they'd found out. More like been 'told'. He wasn't sure if any of it was true.

He still didn't consider himself part of this crew, not really. His crew was worlds away, and possibly gone. But he was still Whitebeard's man.

Not...whoever was captain on this ship.

And who could call a living thing a proper ship anyway? He could see stars out the window. Not dimmed by the sky, the actual stars. And the food couldn't even be called food. this place was really starting to freak him out, he'd like to go home now, and forget about this supposed hero gig. Though, preferably not back to the location he'd just left. Back to Whitebeard's fleet, maybe? He'd love that.

Maybe he should go find and bug his little Lord of Chaos, at least he'd be entertained...

His fingers trapped against his side as he studied the garden area, trying to decide if any of the fruit or animals were toxic.

And how much he cared, after a week of tasteless slop.

"Yeah, me too. We're in the same boat." He smiled warmly at the kid, keeping his own voice gentle and quiet. "I'm Ace, you?"

"I'm Fletcher," he said, and returned to his watering. "Did you wake up recently, Mr. Ace?"

"It's nice to meet you, Fletcher." He grinned, easy going and friendly, and considered the question. "Yeah, this last wake-up period. Still getting my legs under me, getting used to this whole situation, kinda insane, isn't it?"

[greennotgold]

"Yeah..." Fletcher was coming to the last plot now, a plot of carrots. Once he finished that, he stood up straight, hands folded behind his back with the watering can. "It's really confusing for everyone at first. Especially the part with the goo... But it's not that bad here most of the time."

"The part with the goo was really confusing, though the part with the tentacles was weirder. I can handle a bit of whale snot, it's the sentient tentacles picking me up and tossing me around like a child's doll that really messes with my head." He smiled at the kid, relaxed and easy. "So do you always stay in the garden, or do you go other places too?"

[greennotgold]

"I guess that was weird." He hadn't really thought about that part much, but everyone did seem to think it was strange. "Um, I work in the science department too, and I spend time in the Sensoriums and the city too." Especially the Sensoriums, once he'd figured out that it could make copies of people.
