Goodbye Dollet and Thanks for All the Fish! (backdated to Sept 28)

[om_nom_namur]

Characters: EVERYONE!!! And any "local" NPCs you want to make up
Location: A warehouse down by the wharf
Rating: G+? idk people will do as they will do
Open/Closed/Finished: Open
Summary: It's an excuse to pump dance music really really loudly, tbh.

The party was put together ridiculously fast, but everyone who decided to help went all out, and the place is pretty damn awesome. There are refreshments, strobe lights, a loudass music setup, and lots of space to dance. Come on in and have a blast! Garden will be sailing off in the morning, and then it's back to school. Time to get in that last hurrah!

"You mean Namur? He's my brother. I've known him for years. Thatch and Marco are my brothers too." Ace said as they kept dancing. He was pretty sure he had already told her that, but maybe he hadn't.

"But I'm assuming not biological." Because that just raised all sorts of questions if they were. "Not that I'm saying brotherhood requires biology, just curious how it all fell out."

[mera_mera_ace]

"No not biological. But we were adopted by the same man. He took us in and made us his sons. Loved us, cared for us." Ace said as he kept dancing around the floor with her. He was really enjoying himself even if she wasn't.

"Do you have any siblings?"

[gunbladegrrl]

"Oh! You know, I hadn't even imagined you had an adoptive father. I always thought you guys had that brother-in-spirit thing going on," she said, giggling a little at her own presumption. "No, I don't have any siblings. I'm an only kid."

Ace raised an eyebrow at her before she shrugged and smiled. He supposed some people just made weird assumptions. "That must have been a bit lonely growing up."

[gunbladegrrl]

"Naw, not at all. My parents were great, I had friends... I never felt lonely." She shrugged, blending the motion into her steps as she continued to fake her way around the dance floor. "And I got some privacy sometimes, I'm not sure how you'd ever manage that!"

[mera_mera_ace]

"I didn't have them till I was almost 18. I was alone until I was seven...that's when I met Sabo. I was ten when I met Luffy. They're my other brothers. Well two of them anyway. But Sabo died later that year....and it was just me and Luffy." Ace said softly. He wasn't even sure she heard him.

"Family talk always ends up depressing," she said with a quiet sigh. "Sorry I brought it up. You all always look like you're having so much fun, I just wondered..."

[mera_mera_ace]

"No it's alright. You didn't know after all." Ace smiled at her and continued dancing still. It really was fun and he was enjoying himself with her. He was glad Namur had decided to throw this party. It seemed Garden could use some downtime.

[gunbladegrrl]

"But I should have!" No one ever has a happy family story, after all -- at least, not offworlders, it seems. Oh well. She kept dancing as well, not entirely sure she was enjoying it, but it was something to do and it wasn't all that bad.
