OOC: Thanks guys. Not much better, but I know it’s not COVID now.
OOC2: @Spirit: Maybe get a doctor to check that out???
IC:
Ryke Hart | 26 | Doctor | Jade-Mythic Pirates | Tagging: Linkk, Nico | Location: Hanging Muse, Infirmary
Ryke examined the bruised area. When had he seen a bruise that bad? "Must’ve hit the deck pretty hard there, young man." Ryke straightened himself and nodding towards the infirmary bed in the corner. "Feel free to lay down, relax a little and work out those muscles, I’ll get to work on getting some painkillers for you." It certainly made him glad they’d made a point of making a supply run. Bruises weren’t the most dangerous wound in the world, but out on the Grand Line, the slightest mistake could kill.
Karter Zael | 17 | Crewman | Calm Belt Pirates | Tagging: Navii | Location: Stormchaser
The more Karter thought about things, the more uncertain he became. This ship, these familiar surroundings, these people…they were the only home he had known for more than three years. But he had never allowed himself to linger in one place too long. He knew it was risky. "Navii, if you come with me…one day you might end up havin' to see or hear about somethin' very difficult. My life's a giant mess, and that means I need to fix it, and sometimes, a mess has to be made worse before it can get better," he warned.
Coby Angelos (Alias "Orekani") | 22 | Admiral | Marines | S.W.O.R.D. Agent | Tagging: Lucian, Ellena, Georgia | Location: Home
Coby had no idea if the child knew what the word indicated, but he smiled regardless. The fact that she was imitating sounds she heard from her parents was a positive. She would be a fast learner someday. He fed her a bit more of the applesauce before putting the jar aside. That would be enough for now. Let her digest the food. His gaze shifted to Lucian. They didn’t have a ton of time left before Coby at least would have to return to duties, but sitting together, the three of them, and being able to feed his daughter was a breath of fresh air. It shouldn’t be. It should be a completely normal thing…
Helmeppo | 25 | Ensign | Marines | Tagging: Anya | Location: Marine HQ
They had been together what, almost three whole years now? Day in, day out, working alongside each other, laughing and talking and swapping stories. He’d known for a long time he wanted to spend forever with her. Helmeppo turned to lay his forehead against hers. He raised a hand to cup her cheek softly, a gentle pressure on his hand. "When?" He regretted the question as soon as the word left his mouth. Maybe he sounded selfish, or maybe pushy. "Not- Not that there’s any rush or anything, we're still young. Just…so we have an idea if we're thinking along the same lines," he quickly amended, feeling the first flicker of warmth flourish in his cheeks. Oops.
Trafalgar D. Water Law | 29 | Captain/Doctor | Heart Pirates | Tagging: Buck | Location: Polar Tang
The doctor raised an eyebrow when he finally noticed how Buck was physically reacting to the words and attention in general. "Whoaaa there, you’re gonna tear up the couch if that tail wags any harder," Law teased, though he didn’t really mind. It was nice to see his friend happy. He cuddled against Buck. If anyone ever asked, he would deny it, but sometimes he just wanted floofy cuddles. Buck was MADE of floof.
"Yeah well…then I guess we’re on the same page." Law couldn’t help but let himself bask in Buck's praise for the moment. He’d been called a lot of things. Handsome. Hot. Intimidating. Demon. Given the epithet the Surgeon of Death, called everything from A to Z, but 'pretty' was not one of the things he had been called before. He liked it. "Oh yeah? Did I do my hair up extra nice today to deserve that compliment?" He joked. "I’m flattered."
