With that- Like to get a starter and merge dreams! Capping at three!))

Back, if temporarily

Yo, friends!  My hiatus ended a few days ago, so I’ll be trying to get back to finishing some old threads and such within the next few days and picking up with the work while school season starts once more.

((Hey there, friends and friendettes!  

Y’all might have noticed my prolonged [or well, maybe a week or so..] inactivity on tumblr.  Two reasons for that, naturally.  I had an exam term [which was dealt with satisfactorily!] that I was hard at work for, aaanndd...

BIG DICK RAMPAGING ON GUILTY GEAR [moreso Don’t Starve] IN ANTICIPATION FOR THIS!!  And it’s finally here-  My greatest desire since last year has finally arrived and I couldn’t be more happy.  And it is because of it that I must sadly inform y’all I’ll be taking a hiatus until February 16th [around the end of my break] to sharpen my skills in Dragon Ball Fighterz to the razor’s edge.  I won’t be putting in the hiatus notice just yet so that I can get Discords and other contact info for any of you bros and broettes following me to keep in touch while I try reaching Ultra Instinct in this game.  Until then, ciao friends!))

“An acquaintance?  Wait..  Are those one of the Mermaids..?!”

A mermaid?!   With legs?!  It’s been quite a while since he’s seen one of those-  Those huge predicaments with Doflamingo and Big Mom made them seem like distant memories at this point. 

He certainly hadn’t met this one, but she was acquainted with Luffy.  He had heard they met a mermaid of her described appearance that was related to the leader of those infamous fishmen who had oppressed his poor crewmate for most of her life.  Naturally had come to know long ago that even those fishmen had their reasons, as misguided as they were, and that there was no sense for prejudice in dealing with them.  That’s just ungentlemanly!  He approached the kind woman with a bow and adjusted tie.

“May I see your panties, madame?”

There he goes.

@kingofsoulfood

“Ah, one of the straw hat pirates.” Shyarly waved hello and motioned for him to come closer. All of that crew were easy to distinguish, but this one really stood out. Maybe more then the large robot who was a car sometimes. Even their ship was alive in that way possibly. 

It was good to see familiar faces, though who knew if he remembered her. He wasn’t one of the one who had met with her directly anyway. “How’s your captain doing?”

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

Ahh, a small one.  Children were surprisingly present around Hive City.  It was a little..off-putting considering the horrific nature of some of the more common happenings of the city, but he was sure that many enough a hero dwelt around to keep them safe.  He’d been playing violin for some pocket-change as usual, but his whimsical tunes brought crowds no matter where he was!  Though, some sectors were a little less...privy to his style, to say.  But as soon as he saw those equal parts cutesy and mystical features of the small Witch, he stopped immediately.  This was Battler-san’s rumored relative!

“Ohh, Maria-chan!  You are Battler-san’s wonderful little cousin, aren’t you?  Come, I was just about to finish up anyway.”

He straps his violin to his back and approaches Maria, adjusting his usually puffy afro after the performance.

“My name is Humming Brook, I am indeed a friend of Battler-san’s.  I hear you’re his wife’s disciple!  How does that go for you?”

@kingofsoulfood

She looked over at the afro'ed skeleton in front of her. It was not the oddest thing she’d seen in the city, not by far. though Maria had heard the antics where this person had dared to try and peep at Beatrice’s sacred undergarments. It made her tut as she looked at him.

“My name is Maria! You’re a friend of Battler’s?”

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

“Many thanks-  I feel like you two would get along greatly!” 

Truly.  He felt certain of this.  Something about Battler (beyond just his name) really felt like the kind of aura that would make Luffy jump up and happily yell ‘join my crew!’  Someone that could get along with and be a great addition to their family.  He was equally eager to learn about Battler’s story in getting here as well.  Nooo...Brook please

“Of course!  Pirates are a rowdy bunch, and rowdy bunches need some unifying force to bring them together-  That is the goal of my songs!  As well as speaking to the soul, of course.  Perhaps pirates were quite different in your world, but for us, it’s about making a wonderful family of good-for-nothings!  Bink’s Sake is perhaps the ultimate expression of that, from my point of view.”  

Speaking at length about the meanings of songs..  He wasn’t quite used to that!  Not to say that someone like Robin or Zoro couldn’t possibly understand (one more than the other, perhaps) with their more worldly mindsets, but that...he didn’t quite need to.  Music is the communication of the soul, and the Strawhats were such a massive part of his own soul that most things he would play to them would be innately understood on some level.  There was no need for explanations.

“Perhaps I could play for you the final single I had as a world-renowned musician, Battler-san?”

This’ll be a treat.

Bink’s Sake

((Alright folks, back from Xenoblade Chronicles and my birthday!  I’ll get to my owed response!

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

Ahhh, someone who silently appreciated skull jokes!!  This was an instant nakama in his eyes (after all, that was the first thing that pulled him to his current captain after all).  Something about the fellow’s demeanor was homely for him.  Serious and cool like Zoro, but kind and sensitive on the inside.  A wonderful soul!

“Many thanks my long-haired friend!  Perhaps myself and your friend would make a good band.  I’ve taken a recent liking to rock and roll!”  

Present Mic and Brook would be the most dangerous combination of all.  This much is certain. 

“Far more!  Music is my passion, after all.  Being able to communicate feelings through the wind is the only way us pirates can make that powerful connection.  The bass was the most recent instrument I learned to play-  Even if I was always the lead!  I had quite a fun little band in my homeworld.  Soul King Brook was my name, speaking to the souls of all with my strongest power of music!”

It was always a great warm feeling straight in his bones whenever a stranger was so interested in his music.  Aizawa had been the second person who had been so from the get-go, and it made him visibly joyous!  Big boney molars clamoring and all to speak tales of his crews and his joy of music.

A radio show.  Earnestly, Brook definitely seemed to have a bit more of a liking to classical instruments and music.  Hell, he was playing a violin in the streets.  It was a passion and a good way to bide time until his crew arrived (or until he leaves…someday).  However, he always felt that drive to blast out his rocking guitar.  Hard with little housing and money to do so effectively!  It felt reassuring to have a complete stranger seem to be interested in something like a radio show that would give him the ability to do so more.

“Yohohoho, perhaps!  Some Den-Den Mushi radio channels back home blew out my ears sometimes-  Oh wait!  I don’t have ears!”

Aizawa’s favorite thing.  Incredibly jovial, and sometimes incredibly loud, pranksters.  

          Oh, he had an uncanny ability of attracting loud comedians. Though he had to admit this one was a little more unique aside from tall, loud and obnoxious blondes. This one just happened to be a skeleton making bone jokes. Vaguely the hero was amused by this, a slight pull of the lips forming a very small smile. Normally, he wouldn’t give into jokes like that but given his latest streak of homesickness, he allowed himself this moment of weakness. Not that he considered it such, it reminded him of the pun riddled conversations he had with Hizashi at the very least.

          “For someone with no ears you sure do hear well. Though I imagine if a friend of mine happened by this city, he’d change that,” it was already surprising enough how Aizawa himself wasn’t deaf from sitting too close to someone who talked like he had a mega phone in one hand, but that was just how Present Mic was.

          “Are you good with just a violin or? I used to play a bass every now and then.”

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

“Manga and anime..  Never heard of it!  Perhaps our worlds are quite different then, Battler-san.” 

Being so damn old he was quite familiar with the historical workings of his homeworld, and that gave more credence to his gentlemanly exterior.  That would probably be the only thing that did, along with his suit.  

“My...Luffy-san will definitely want to get to punching them in the face as quickly as possible then.  The Yonkou are the strongest individuals in our world..  And our Captain had no problem picking a fight with one!  It’ll be my job to reel him in this time.”

Spoke with a tone of certainty.  His Captain will come here and will get his crewmates out of here and become Pirate King.  That’s simply the kind of man he is.  They wouldn’t have come this far if he hadn’t been the type to seize destiny.

“Ah, yes..  Bink’s Sake.  It is an old pirate song.  It is the favorite tune of my former pirate crew..  Tales of being a pirate and sailing the boundless sea!  I sing it in remembrance of them and the promise I made to the last remaining nakama of our past crew.”

Bink’s Sake

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

Another day at Battler’s mansion.  It was like his second home.  The new friends he’s made these past few weeks has been like a dream to him, but stung his bony heart to the core..  How many times will this inorganic life have to force his heart to tread the same path?  Each bonds being ripped away and a mourning skeleton’s non-existent heart grieves.  Singing to the Ushiromiyas about the greatness of his past crews, and the soon-to-be Pirate King..  If he can’t be there then he’ll let the winds carry those songs to the path of light of their dreams.  

With that he packs up for the day and gets his carry out.  Some sweet leftover candy could do-  Supposedly they were Maria’s, but he’d had yet to meet her.  He’ll definitely see to thanking her soon then.  Chomping on candies with his dry teeth he gives out a sigh.  They tasted like meat..  That wasn’t supposed to be right-  It made him think like he was on the Sunny once more.  Like Luffy was yelling for him while he was stringing an instrument, and needed to try the newest spices on some ribs they had procured at a nearby trade-stop.  The sound resonating harder and harder inside of his empty ole skull..

“Ahh, Captain..  Hopefully you’re showing those Yonkou now exactly what you’re made of.  And unreliable geezer like me won’t do much-”

That seemed to be a little too loud for a melancholic musing.  Wait..

“I-It can’t be..!”

“Luffy-saaaannn!!  Waaahaa!”

Bony tears and mucus.  He’d definitely treasure this moment greatly!  He was sure to grab his Captain..  If he had any muscular endurance with which to do so, unlike the rest of his crewmates.  A rubber man falls on top of a crushed skele-man now.  Though, afroman is not the slightest bit worried about that.  

“I’m so glad!  Yohoho..!  I’ve got so much to speak to you about!”

@kingofsoulfood

From rooftop to rooftop, Luffy bounded over the streets of sector 4. Man, for something that’d turned him into a prisoner, Hive City was super cool! There were so many things he’d never seen before! People who looked literally out-of-this-world! Superheroes! Robots! And all of the food…!

But still, none of it made Luffy forget about his home. His crew… He’d just gotten back with them after two years of separation. And now, they were gone again. They’d probably be having some fun here, too. There were tons of strong-looking guys for Zoro to fight. Robin would’ve wanted to learn about history stuff. And Sanji and Brook would find a lot of the ladies-

Something caught Luffy’s eye as he leapt over another street. Something that made him come to a skidding stop on the next roof, then run back just to double-check what he saw. And it checked out! That was an afro! And a suit! And BONES!

Sporting an enormous grin, Luffy vaulted off the three-story building. Arms wide, heart elated, he let loose a shout for the entire block to hear.

“BROOOOOOOOOK!!!”

Hopefully, the skeletal musician was ready for a tackle-hug coming from near-terminal velocity!

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

That’s strange!  He didn’t go flying!  I mean, being bones and all helps with enduring Nami’s wind shattering kicks.  He waited for the same, but instead she seemed pretty...casual about it.  Perhaps being “above” it in a sense like his friend Robin, but not even preturbed!  Was this a regular occurrence?!  

“Oh yeah!  So mellow and seductive in your demeanor, I can’t help but approve-!”

Couldn’t help it at that point.  He had that bizarre trait of losing his cordial gentlemanly demeanor whenever something excited him.  He wouldn’t be on Luffy’s crew otherwise. So he got a seemingly torrential nosebleed from his nasal bones.  A nosebleed.  From a skeleton.  Christ.

kingofsoulfood:

Gladly made the district of the manor his usual spot for playing music.  Not because he can get free Sanji-quality food from Battler or anything.  He had heard from Battler-san that they had a demon in their employ, but..  

“Ahhh, I’m glad I’m becoming more of a household name.  Indeed, I can talk and eat just like you all!  Such is the peculiarity of Devil Fruits.  By the way.. Could I perhaps see your panties?-  Wait..”

As polite and cordial as always with his requests, as a gentlemen should be.  However, he was too enthralled with her great beauty to realize she…didn’t seem to have an outfit with undergarments.  Brook stopped to wonder about the surreal and beautiful mystery of such an outfit.  In deep thought, philosophical questions running through his brain-  Oh wait, he doesn’t have one!  Yohohoho!~ 

She would’ve asked where the food would go, because that was her first concern. Really, Gaap wanted to know that. But with his question, came her amazement. You’d expect her to be offended, and any normal woman probably would, despite being phrased politely as it was. Instead she let out a whistle, honestly endeared by the daring skeleton.

Initial query forgotten, she observed how he waited for an answer. As though this was a normal question to pop in a conversation. Something like ‘how are you’ or ‘the weather’.

But no, she got this.

“Uh, no, of course you can’t?” She’s not angry. If that was weird, then her next words would be even weirder. “You have to earn your way to see them. If you’ll see anything at all~” 

[kingofsoulfood-blog]

Ahh, naturally.  Battler seemed like a respectable young gentlemen.  He wouldn’t deal in pirate business.  But he’s also a respectable gentlemen as well!  Right? He sat down on the nearest seat and crossed his long ass skele-legs.  

“So, those scientists really are incredibly fierce..  Being able to so easily interfere in a Yonkou’s business with pure confidence and no blemish of a problem.  It’s better that way anyhoo!  I can’t swim, yohoho~!” 

He made clacking noises of shock with his big skele-teeth when Battler proclaimed he hadn’t had a piano-

“No piano!?  Oh my, I suppose you’re more a man who appreciates artistry than music..  Culture is different in all!  I’ve only had my violin and guitar for the little while I’ve been here, and I wished to stretch out my musical muscles and express different types of tunes.  Yoho~” 

His same old chuckle, taking out his violin once again and abruptly starting his favorite old song once more.

"Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo..”

Bink’s Sake

A radio show.  Earnestly, Brook definitely seemed to have a bit more of a liking to classical instruments and music.  Hell, he was playing a violin in the streets.  It was a passion and a good way to bide time until his crew arrived (or until he leaves...someday).  However, he always felt that drive to blast out his rocking guitar.  Hard with little housing and money to do so effectively!  It felt reassuring to have a complete stranger seem to be interested in something like a radio show that would give him the ability to do so more.

“Yohohoho~”

That signature song of his.  Of course he’d be playing it standing atop the banister of a balcony he had happened to be on.  Violin and all.  The public deserved to hear his spirited tunes!  And hear it they will, even though some people would much prefer to just quietly walk to work..

           Music in general wasn’t new to Aizawa, given the company he usually found himself in back home. A close friend of his would often do the same, hell, Aizawa would even listen to his radio show on Friday nights before he went on patrol. That was something he missed here in Hive City. No matter the radio station, Put Your Hands Up radio simply did not exist here. So when random notes of music drifted in his direction, Aizawa found himself stopping to listen.

          It didn’t fill that empty void in his chest but it certainly tried, even if he didn’t realize it. Looking in that direction, the Erasure Hero didn’t take a second glance at a literal walking skeleton playing a violin. Perhaps the strangest thing he’d seen here in this city, but back home, he knew strange. He worked with strange.

          “Ever thought about working your own radio show?”
