Time to live it up in here!

Who: Anyone!
What: Marco's surprise birthday party.
When: October 6th, in the afternoon.
Where: Community Housing 3, Room 40
Summary: It's Marco's birthday. Ace planned a party. Need I say more?
Rating: Uh, PG? Since there will be pirates here, I'm hoping not to go above PG-13. PLAY NICE, KIDS.
[Ace wasn't going to go overboard on the decorating. In fact, he had to leave a lot of it up to everyone else since his injuries prevent quite a bit of movement. But soon enough, there were a decent amount of streamers up, and a nice big banner that says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCO". He had to work extra hard to get the cake to look just right. The cake is surrounded by the presents, and there's a few separate tables for food and drinks. Fruit punch for everyone, and some alcohol for the adults and pirates.

Come on, people, this is a party. Let's live it up a little! And don't forget to embarrass congratulate the birthday pirate. Feel free to leave your own comment below, just for mingling, or just doing something silly, or giving Marco your present! Have at!]

[After the party died down, and most people went home, Ace snuck out with a bottle of sake to go out and find Shanks. By chance, he decided to check the roof first, and lucky enough he found him. Silently, he walks up to him, giving him a light smile when he stands next to him.] Mind if I join you?
tibias: (damn whitebeard you tall)

(yea)

[ oh, this is a surprise. shanks was expecting to move out a day or two from now without ace getting over some of the uncomfortable awkward. still, it's a pleasant surprise, so he shifts over to make room. ] Not at all.

Thank you. [There's a tense silence for Ace as he takes a seat next to Shanks. There's also a question he wants to ask. Not a lot about his dad, just one. It's hard, though, managing to muster up the courage to ask it. After a sip or two of sake, he lets out a low sigh, staring at the sky.]

Was... he a good captain?
tibias: (beginning of a l'oreal commercial)

[ the tense silence is expected, but still a little hard to deal with. thank god for booze. the question is a little surprising, but shanks really doesn't mind answering. ]

He was the best.

[There's a slight bit of relief when he hears that, possibly because it's the only good thing he's ever heard about Roger.] ... good.

[But now he's curious. He's always met people who hate Roger, so how does he react to someone who liked him? What if Shanks has different stories to tell?He'd rather have the truth, anyway.] What... was he like? As a person.

He was... larger than life in some ways. He liked doing things in a grand manner. Big parties, big fights... you name it. He never ran from a fight. Ever. There were a lot times when I wanted hm to back down from something, but he never did. Once his mind was set on something, that was that. [ he laughs suddenly ] Which landed us in some sticky situations. Captain Roger was reckless as reckless can be—he was a lot like Luffy in that respect.

[ there's a pause and shanks' voice softens a bit. ] He really cared for his nakama, and the people he respected. He took even the smallest slight against us personally, and did everything he could to make sure we were okay. That meant everything when I was growing up.

[As Shanks tells his story, Ace becomes more and more confused. This is... practically the opposite of everything Ace has been told about his father. Was Roger really that good of a person? Then why did so many people hate him? Roger... he was so many things, Ace didn't even know who he was.] He was really like that? He sounds... like a good man.
tibias: (wait we don't have any huns do we?)

[ so ace really didn't know much about roger. shanks had suspected, what with how much he didn't like his biodad. that is... really, really sad. ] He was one of the best. Your father wouldn't have liked him so much if he wasn't.

[personal profile] hiken_ace 2012-10-09 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks up at Shanks and nods slowly.] Marco told me they were friends, not really rivals.

[He lets out an exasperated sigh.] I don't even know what to think of him anymore.

You don't have to think anything about him if you don't want to. [ though that would make shanks super sad. ] But if you want to come up with your own judgement of him, I'd suggest talking to people who knew him.

... Though I think that might just be me and Marco right now.

[personal profile] hiken_ace 2012-10-09 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He's going to tell Shanks something he's really never said before.] I do want to think something of him, good or bad. As much as I hate him... he is my dad. It's partly because of him that I'm alive.

I think you two are plenty for now. [He could probably only know more from Roger himself, and that's not likely to happen.]
