I. Main Street Usa!
It's twilight, edging to evening, and yet the streets are still alive with citizens and Apprentices (that means you!) alike. Take the time to admire the lights, pop in and out of the cafes or just relax in the garden.
Weapon shops and magic shops are open late into the evening this time of year, so feel free to enjoy yourself before you equip yourself for the life head.
II. Apprentice Training 101- Evening Class
Same commons behind the fire house, same weapons and wands available for practicing your skills-- though this time under the cozy street lights and the bright blues and tired purples of a fading summer twilight. Strike at the training dummy or try to catch fireflies with whispers, its all up to you.
III. Things that Go Bump
Are bumping. And they mean business. A few level 1 corroded monsters are scurrying around Main Street causing havoc and it's up to you to stop them. The question is, is it early in the evening or do you dare to face the creatures at the night's darkest hour?
IV. It's time to Sparkle!
Everyone has a spark of imagination. That is, in fact, why you're here! It's time to shine with your own scenario! Just try to keep from causing too much trouble.
Buggy | One Piece
Date: 2019-08-30 04:31 am (UTC)[Main Street Usa is amazing to Buggy. This is fantastic. It's a bustling, busy, exciting place even at this hour. And despite still feeling very out of his element, Buggy is starting to actually enjoy himself. He's always up for a fresh start, after all. And there's something about this place that's starting to feel, well, magical to him. It's a flashy experience, and Buggy is wandering through with a bright grin and an appraising eye.
He can be found watching the lights, enjoying a snack in a cafe, and window shopping through the evening.]
II. Apprentice Training 101- Evening Class
[If Buggy is going to rise to the same power and status as he did back home, it's going to take a hell of a lot of training. This magic is a whole different animal than the powers that came with his devil fruit, and he's absolutely unsure of himself when it comes to this. That said, anyone who sees him listening wouldn't be able to guess at his insecurity. And maybe that faux confidence will bring people to him.
Or maybe they don't care, or are purposefully keeping their distance. It's hard to approach a clown for some. Especially one with bones colored on his forehead and a mouth that stretches impossibly wide when he grins. It's an shining endorsement for creepy, after all.]
IV. It's time to Sparkle!
[No one sparkles like Buggy does. No one's quite as flashy or fabulous. And he's telling stories of his amazing fabulous prowess as he stands on a bench, with a crowd of people around him eating up his amazing feats of piracy. He talks about the high seas and circus camaraderie, about dear friends and childhood rivalries, about treasures that are priceless and that sparkle the stars, and impenetrable prisons and his dashing escape from them.
And the best part? He doesn't even have to lie. And he's homesick enough that nostalgia really does tinge the stories with a feeling of sweetness and excitement, no matter how dramatic they are.]

Though I'm not quite sure I understand the...er...clown motif.
1/2
Date: 2019-08-30 05:19 am (UTC)[Buggy might be a little touchy about this. And who the hell is this loser, thinking that he can interrupt his stories with accusations?! Buggy points at Aziraphale with an angry and indignant expression, full of self-righteous fussy anger.] Who do you think you are, saying things like that!?
Done
Date: 2019-08-30 05:20 am (UTC)I am a hell of a flashy storyteller though! This much I'll admit. Flashy! A clown is a handsome and intimidating person, and I'm the flashiest and most fabulous of all of them!

Date: 2019-08-30 05:12 am (UTC)Want a drink?! Hey! Thanks for helping out Luffy and Pops at my execution! [Like it was some sort of fucking cotillion instead of his death.]
1/2
Date: 2019-08-30 05:23 am (UTC)[He's so glad that he's not alone here, and this is amazing. Ace is a good kid, he's a little weird but he's quality and he's Roger's brat and he's Luffy's brother. So he's good people, regardless. And Buggy is suddenly way more excited about all of this. Just having someone worth allying with makes the whole situation change.]
Damn right I want a drink! Let's have a fabulous alliance here!
2/2
Date: 2019-08-30 05:24 am (UTC)[And then it hits him. Hard.]
HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALIVE?!
dat first face omfg
Date: 2019-08-30 05:28 am (UTC)[And Ace just laughs at the obvious question!]
I know, RIGHT!? No idea! Apparently magic is real or some shit! And it messed up! I'm not complaining!
Something about still being inspirational or imaginative even if you're dead! There's a few others around like that too! Crazy, huh?
It's a good one, haha
Date: 2019-08-30 05:33 am (UTC)This is so wild. Buggy's mind is blown, and he gives Ace's chest a hell of a look over. He almost expects to see a hole through it, and while it's reassuring that it's solid, what magic can do is a bit frightening.
And a bit exciting.] Well damn! I knew it could do some flashy stuff, but this is way more than even I expected! Well, you're here and alive! And that's what counts I guess! Let's get that drink, and talk about stuff where it's comfortable. Flashy!
It's amazing XDD
Date: 2019-08-30 05:40 am (UTC)[Any second thoughts yet?] Oh, you're not monster type are you? That's what I am, so the new moon might knock you out with it.
[Or maybe that's just Ace because you know: narcoleptic.]
no subject
Date: 2019-08-30 05:48 am (UTC)[Buggy isn't smart enough for second thoughts in this context. It's just alcohol, right? Nothing to be afraid of. Nothing at all.]
Wait, you're monster type? [He's almost mad for a minute. Considering Ace's death, and what people thought of him and Gol D. Roger, it's almost insult to injury that he ended up a monster here. Salt in a wound, the kid isn't a monster, he just didn't stand a chance back home. But Buggy isn't in the mood to dwell on things like that, so he pushes the thought and accompanying emotions away almost as fast as they come into his head.] Yeah, no. I'm not. But it's not like I can't still drink you under a table fabulously. [He probably can't, but he'll make a damn good attempt at it.]
no subject
Date: 2019-08-30 05:55 am (UTC)Is that a challenge?
Okay! You're on!!!
[The shit is literally liquid explosives, Buggy. Talk about flashy! But Ace merrily leads him to his "lab" which is just a section of the park. Hi, you're in a really really weird place now. Even by Grand Line standards. And Ace cheerfully hands him a bottle!] You're the second person to try this though! I promised Eleanor first taste. She's dead like me.
no subject
Date: 2019-08-30 06:08 am (UTC)That's right! It's a challenge. We'll see how flashy a game you talk when you're dead drunk! [Shit. Oh, not the best wording.] When you're sloshed, I mean!
[He's trying. But he's also making bad decisions in this, and he follows Ace to the 'lab' without realizing just how much trouble he's potentially in. The bottle looks normal enough, and he opens it without a second thought. And takes a decent swig out of it.
SHIT. THAT IS STRONG STUFF. Buggy stares into the bottle with wide eyes, and then back to Ace. This is going to hit him hard, he just knows it.] ...What's in this?!
no subject
Date: 2019-09-04 04:19 am (UTC)All right you're on, man!!
[Laughs even harder at Buggy's reaction and holds a finger up over his lips.] That's a secret. [Murder, death, NOT corrosion.... but just about anything else Ace thought might do the trick. Yes.] But it won't kill you, just make you stronger.
[Famous last words.]

Date: 2019-09-04 05:40 pm (UTC)Yeah? Okay!
2/2
Date: 2019-09-04 05:43 pm (UTC)Hey, but I don't want anything to happen to the people here, got it? They've been through enough, and they're under my protection.

Date: 2019-09-06 05:40 am (UTC)["Gentle" punch in the arm -- gentle for Ace standards, for a fellow strong pirate captain, not a tap.]
YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!!
[Sure, in some ways he's smarter... in others.... ehhhhhhhh.]
no subject
Date: 2019-09-06 05:44 am (UTC)[Oof, Portgas that's one hell of a punch even in play.]
We'll get some testing done and blast away the enemy fabulously!

From:IV
Date: 2019-08-30 08:03 am (UTC)Truth to be told Ace wasn't that bad, most of the time. When he wasn't picking her up and hauling her around. But that didn't really balance against Shrimpy and her pathetic little crew.
no subject
Date: 2019-09-06 05:30 am (UTC)It's a long and convoluted tale, and he's the star of it of course.] And that's how it went down in flashy tragedy!
no subject
Date: 2019-09-06 05:50 am (UTC)She shook her head and turned to head off, then considered, and turned her magic mirror to capture an image of him. she could show Ace once she was away. Of course, that flashed a light right in his eyes for just a moment....
