[The first image you'll get to see on this particular video feed is pretty much a scenic view of someone's nostrils. The individual responsible for such a sight is trying his damndest to figure out how the hell this thing works, how you can send messages or even videos on something that's very pointedly NOT shaped like a snail, and how you even know if it was working or not.

Eventually it seems like he's stopped caring, or decided that on sheer force of will alone that it's working. Because the feed pulls back and you can see this very 'good dog' expression on a very simple-looking man. A scar under his eye, and a rather ratty old straw hat perched atop his head.]


The food's really good here! And I wasn't even yelled at when I ate a lot, either, and I like that. [The feast at the festival hadn't been the most fun, but who needed fun when there was food involved.]

An' yanno what? I don't like being away from my crew an' home, but if there's an adventure--Nihihi, then I guess I don't mind stayin'! around! [And then that 'good dog' expression melts, as if exposed to heat very suddenly. A frown on his face.]

But I don't like this uniform! The arms are too long! I don't have any mobility at all, so I ended up tearin' the sleeves outta them, see? [Look at the mess he's made.] Ne... I guess if anyone's got a needle an' thread, I can try to fix them myself...

...Where's Nami...
agrizzlysin: (but elizabeth got there first)

[Luffy's lovely nostrils are met with lopsided doubt.]

If that's how you alter your clothes, I'd hate to see how you sew them.
agrizzlysin: (my best friend is a helmet)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-06-25 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[But, Luffy... That's his point. You didn't have to just tear the sleeves off, man.]

You didn't even think to look for a knife first?

[I mean, Luffy is standing there talking about the feast. Come on, it's not that hard.]

Seriously?

[A single brow rises in blatant disbelief. Is this one of those keep-the-prime-experimental-subjects-away-from-Merlin type situations? He sure doesn't look like the kind of guy who can hurt someone else with a kitchen knife... Of course, he does look like the type who could hurt himself.]

Well, I can find a needle and thread, but are you sure you know what you're doing?
agrizzlysin: (aaaand there goes my dignity)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-06-27 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
...

...

...

[Okay, now he kind of wants to hand over the needle and thread just to see how badly this guy screws up.]

Where are you then? I'll bring some over.
agrizzlysin: (how to kill an immortal 101)

boom! action;

[King is ready for everything and nothing all at the same time. By which I mean to say, he thinks he's prepared for everything.

Soon enough, he floats into the dining hall. Chastiefol's pillow form serves as support for his elbows. It also now carries a small sewing needle and a spool of black thread. Tools of the trade.

Luffy is hard to miss even in the crowded hall - partly because most of the crowd is shuffling away from him. King waves the spool of thread in the air as he approaches.

You can't eat and fix your uniform at the same time, you know.

[Which is probably another reason it's good that the ALASTAIR uniforms magically replace themselves when you ruin them.]
agrizzlysin: (yes he brags about making these clothes)

it's not one piece action without explosions

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-02 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Everyone has taken his power at face value since they returned to Oska, even people he's never met before. With the immense variety of species packed into the crowds, that's no surprise. Apparently, this guy hasn't picked up on that mood just yet.

King comes to a stiff halt when Luffy charges to his feet laughing like Ban during a good fight. He blinks stupidly at his new audience for all of a second before Luffy's question reaches his brain. Suddenly, he's all pride and poise, straightening out with a huff.
]

Of course, I am! I'm a fairy! It's obvious I'd be able to fly!

[How is it obvious? King declines to elaborate.]
agrizzlysin: (it's probably better that way)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-06 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[King isn't particularly big for a fairy, but then again, Olivia's talk of "fairy slime" has taught him that fairies differ wildly from world to world. He wiggles forward so he can drop his head down and pout at the weirdo having so much fun beneath him. By the time he gets down there, Luffy's already bouncing back up.

What is this guy, a human jumping bean???

King sputters.
]

W-Why would there be a catch? I told you, I can fly because I'm a fairy. I can do a lot more than just that too!

[And you know what? Just to prove it, that straw hat is now floating a foot above Luffy's head. So there!]
agrizzlysin: (my sin is better than your sin)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-16 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like just anyone can do it where I'm from either. [Puffy cheeks! King is very special people, okay?] The humans and giants have their own abilities. Only the fairies can fly.

[The demon and goddess clans don't count because they suck.]

If you want to see more that badly, just look up.

[Luffy's signature hat is still floating in the air above him. When King twirls his pointer finger, it begins performing roller coaster-esque loop-de-loops all around.]
agrizzlysin: (she's like a mini snickers bar)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-18 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [Luffy's question distracts him from his haughtiness long enough to ask one of his own.] Your world has giants then? That's pretty rare, even here. I only-

[That jumping bean's arms just stretched high enough to reach his flying hat.]

What are you doing?
agrizzlysin: (and i'll be doing diane)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-22 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
...I know a pretty cool giant too.

[What else is he supposed to say here? King cocks his head, curiosity and courtesy battling within the confines of his brain.]

So is that your special power? The stretching thing? Or was that something else?
agrizzlysin: (you mean a date like the fruit?)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-23 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[King hasn't forgotten about the shirt, but now he's wondering whether any effort put into it wouldn't be completely wasted. He only came here for a bit of a laugh in the first place, and-

Oh, wow. That is a little grotesque. Also fascinating. The enthralled look of interest that creeps across King's face is comical at best, ominous at worst.

Instinct guides his hand to Luffy's opposite cheek. Without a word, he too pulls on Luffy's rubber flesh, stretching the pirate captain's mouth to even more ridiculous proportions.

agrizzlysin: (now i know how ban feels all the time)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-07-23 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Screw Stretch Armstrong. Luffy is the perfect kid's toy all on his own.

With what King refuses to acknowledge as regret, he lets go of his side of Luffy's stretchy face, letting it snap back into place. Is this guy even human???? Whatever a "gomu gomu no mi" is, it must be pretty damn impressive.
]

I've never seen anything like that before! Does it hurt? How do you even put something like that to use?
agrizzlysin: (bitch i'm the fairy king)

[personal profile] agrizzlysin 2016-08-01 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[King snorts. Clearly this guy has "priorities" in the same way that Ban and Meliodas do.]

So it's mostly a weapon, huh? [And yes, stealing food from someone else's plate counts as weaponization.] I was expecting those crewmates of yours to use you like a tether or something.
