lucetilogs | The Great Luceti Rock Hunt

Who: Everyone here and anyone who wants to play along, even without a rock. o/
What: Rock hunting!
When: March 10th
Where: All over Luceti
Summary: Grumpy pants Smoker needs a pick me up and what better way to do it than trolling him relentlessly. Our lovely volunteers received a painted rock and a note - after that it's up to them.
Rating: G~PG

It didn't take long to find all his "volunteers," but once he had, he gave them their rocks and sent Smoker a message.

Notice anything missing? I have what belongs to you. Come find them and you'll find me.

Stealing what technically belonged to the Marine was a good enough reason for the grumbly man to come out, but it helped that Souji left the thief's name and identity as prize for finding all the appropriate rocks.

He just didn't need to mention he had sent decoys out as well.

[ooc; Post with your character as a top level and Smoker will find them to talk and retrieve the rocks. Go crazy! Make him sing, dance, stand on his head, whatever you feel like as long as players involved are cool with it. ...also no one saw me post to the wrong comm. orz]

[Huffs and glares!]

And just what was the point of all that?

[He motions to the coffee with a smile.]

I'm not sure if I made it correctly, but I tried. Do tell me what you think of it?

[Yeah, totally not answering any questions until Smoker has a sit down and some coffee and some cake because lulz there is cake. So long as Saizou hasn't figured out how to open the box yet.]

[Grunts and takes his cup, sniffing it experimentally.] You didn't add anything weird to it, did you? [Weird meaning sugar or chocolate. Rum is okay.]

[He actually had no idea he could do that. But now that he knows, next time you are in trouble, Smoker.

For now he shakes his head.]

Just the ground beans and water.

Why? Did you want to try something?

[Great...]

Hell no. I wouldn't drink it if you had. [YAY COFFEE. He hates your marginally less now you annoying punk.]

[Next time, he is so putting something in there.

Souji just smiles and picks up his teacup with both hands, taking a sip.]

Is it acceptable?

Yeah. [The coffee is good, but that's as close as Smoker will admit to it.]

So what was the point of that damn egg chase? Some sort of bizarre Easter egg hunt?

I'm glad.

[He's relieved, really. He's never made coffee before and since he doesn't like the taste of it, he wasn't sure if it was even any good.

Souji sets his cup down and his smile widens.]

Is that what you think it was for?

I'm not sure what it was for, just that it was annoying. [FOREVER GRUMPS.]

[Souji laughs and shoos Saizou away from the snack bag. The pig grumps just like Smoker and goes to sit behind the bag, glaring at them both.]

You're not sure, but you must have an idea, yes?

[Souji reaches over to the bag and pulls out a covered plate of plain cake and fruit. He pushes it toward Smoker.]

I'd be interested in hearing your theories.

You mean it wasn't just to torture me and make me talk to bizarre people?

Do you one man made me figure out the math for an absolutely insane puzzle? I don't even do that much math when dealing with pirates and marines.

Oh, that must have been the one with the funny hat.

[Lololol Layton. Souji owes you something later.]

He's an interesting character, isn't he? I heard of him through his apprentice, Luke.

Yeah....

Is there a point to all this? [STARES AT. Just tell him no, and he'll give up and accept the inane babble as a fact of life.]

Isn't there always?

[He motions to the plate of cake and fruit with a smile that never seems to fade.]

I wanted to see how well you did with your hunt. And how you enjoyed it.

It was all right I guess. Annoying.

Did you think I missed out on the hunt?

No, but I thought you might like to get out of the house for a little bit.

[Souji looks past him to the apartment doors lined up on the wall. Meanwhile Saizou is going to try and sneak a piece of fruit off Smoker's plate.]

It isn't good to stay cooped up for too long.

[What sneak? Smoker just offers Saizou a piece when he thinks Okita isn't looking.]

Tch. I get out every day. I go to the barracks to work out.

[He sees it, but he won't say anything. Saizou snarfs it down and looks up at Smoker. Is there another?]

That isn't getting out, Smoker-san. [He laughs a little.] Did you meet many people today?

[Yup! More for the piggie. Fruits are good and healthy, okay okay.]

[And Smoker snorts.]

You sound like Hina. Yes, but they were all stupid. Except for Kohaku.

[Saizou keeps eating and starts moving on to the cake, but Souji reaches out and taps him hard on the head which causes him to pull back sullenly.]

Kohaku-chan is sweet, isn't it?

Is Hina a friend of yours? Or a subordinate?

She is, yes.

And Hina's a friend. I'd shoot myself if she were a subordinate. [Except not really. Probably. Given G-5, no, no he wouldn't. Hina would just be bad about listening to him, even though she's always telling him to follow orders.]

[Well, that's rather drastic, but Souji knows Smoker wouldn't really shoot himself. Or, he hopes.]

What is she like?

[A pause.]

Acerbic. [And that's an understatement.] And bossy. And a pain in the ass.

I miss her. [Smoker's so good at friendship.]

I suppose I resemble the "pain" part, hm?

[he laughs.]

I can tell you miss her.

Yeah. And the trying to make me do things for my own good. It's annoying.
