#noble prize winner

[scotianostra]

On September 6th 1876, the Scottish physician and physiologist John James Macleod was born near Dunkeld.

J J Macleod is arguably the most famous unknown Scot you will hear about today.

He was the son of the Rev. Robert Macleod. When later the family moved to Aberdeen, Macleod went to the Grammar School there and later entered the Marischal College of the University of Aberdeen to study medicine.

J J R Macleod directed and informed the research which led to the discovery of insulin. His expertise ensured that the laboratory findings of his team were rapidly translated into the clinical application of insulin to treat type 1 diabetes in 1922 – one of the therapeutic landmarks of 20th century medicine.

Prior to the discovery of insulin, type 1 diabetes was fatal and without it many millions of people, many of them children, would subsequently have died. The discovery of insulin is frequently and inaccurately attributed to “Banting and Best”, and for decades Macleod was effectively airbrushed out of medical history.  The importance of the research of this quiet and unassuming Scottish scientist cannot be over-estimated and he deserves to be as well-known to the public as is Sir Alexander Fleming for his discovery of penicillin.

It was not until 1982 when a Canadian historian, Michael Bliss, published his book, “The Discovery of Insulin” that Macleod’s reputation was restored and he took his rightful place as co-discoverer

It is also interesting to note that the first insulin in the UK was given in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in August 1922. Following publication of the early findings regarding insulin in March 1922, doctors in Edinburgh contacted John Macleod who provided them with detailed directions on how to make and administer insulin.

In October 1923 it was announced in Stockholm that Frederick Banting and John Macleod would share the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of insulin.

John James Macleod was  buried at Aberdeen cemetery, and the grave seems to be the only memorial to him in Scotland, Canada at least honours him with a plaque at the house he stayed in Toronto and another at the University.

And in the Law field Ruth Bader Ginsburg - the first jewish woman to be a jusice of the US Supreme Court, and the second woman to sit in it. she became an outspoken advocate for women’s rights.  In a 2009 New York Times interview, in which she said regarding abortion that “the basic thing is that the government has no business making that choice for a woman.”

List of Nobel Prize Winners from India

We get up, and we work like maniacs- because time is always running out, we can hardly spare any leisure time, and even if we could spare some free time, only a handful of people will dedicate this time to working for the benefit of humankind. Bitter but true, isn't it? This article discusses the contribution of those handfuls of people who have devoted their entire life to mankind. As a symbol of gratitude and honour, they have bestowed a prize that has been created to reward the discoveries which confer a greater benefit to mankind, i.e., the Nobel Prize comprising prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.

History of the Nobel Prize

Alfred Nobel, known for his invention of dynamite, was a Swedish chemist, engineer and industrialist who died in 1896. Before their death in 1895, he signed his last will to use all of his assets and fortunes to establish five prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Economics and Peace, which were later collectively called the Nobel Prizes. The Prize money for this comes from the bequest left by Alfred Nobel himself.

Shockingly, in 1888, a French newspaper published the obituary of Alfred Nobel, who was alive at that time, with the title, ‘The Merchant Of Death Is Dead’.

He was traumatized by reading his obituary in the newspaper & decided to change his own will so that people remember him for a lengthy time.

Throughout his entire life, Alfred Nobel wrote various wills, but the ultimate one was composed just a year before his death in 1895, as we had discussed, and was signed at the Swedish–Norwegian Club in Paris.

The will was not approved by the Storting in Norway until 1897. Thereafter, a Nobel Foundation was formed by the executors of such will, Ragnar Sohlman and Rudolf Lilljequist, to take care of his assets & to organize the awarding of the Nobel Prizes.

The foundation has been exempted from all the taxes in Sweden since 1946 & from investment taxes in the United States since 1953. Can the Nobel Prize be given posthumously?

The first Nobel Prize was bestowed on 10 December 1901. Although Nobel Prizes are not awarded posthumously (meaning prizes awarded after a person’s death), if a person is awarded a prize and dies before receiving it, then the prize is presented. Only two persons have been given the prize posthumously to date, i.e., before 1974, the Nobel Prize has only been awarded posthumously to Dag Hammarskjöld (Nobel Peace Prize 1961) and Erik Axel Karlfeldt (Nobel Prize in Literature 1931)

How much is a Nobel Prize worth?

In 2021, the Nobel Prize was worth around 10 million Swedish kronor i.e., around 10 crores INR. The award money has increased over the years, and only a handful of laureates have won it with increased worth, but only in the last three decades.

Who won the Nobel Prize in India?

List of Indian citizens who won the Nobel Prize

Each recipient of the Nobel Prize is known as the Laureate, a prize that was first instituted in 190 and among the recipients, 12 are Indians (five Indian citizens and seven of Indian ancestry or residency).

On June 25th 1971 , John Boyd Orr, biologist and Nobel Prize Winner, died.

John Boyd Orr's pioneering research led to millions of children across the UK being given free school milk from 1946 to 1971 when Margaret Thatcher, then education secretary, cut provision giving her the mick name Thatcher, "Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher”

Boyd Orr was born in Ayrshire into a religious and highly literate family, and it was perhaps inevitable that he should be destined for a career in teaching after studying theology. However, his studies at Glasgow University also opened up new avenues for him. He became interested in the theories of Darwin, and this led to a fascination with zoology.

When he graduated with his MA in 1902, he was assigned to a teaching position in the Glasgow slums to fulfil the obligations required by his scholarship. He lasted only a few days before resigning and going back home to Ayrshire where he was reassigned to a school in Saltcoats. There he completed his teaching but left as soon as he could, saying: "though I liked the children, I hated teaching them”.

Boyd Orr returned to university to study biology and medicine, and he graduated with a BSc in 1910 and MB ChB two years later. He only practised for one month before returning to university to undertake nutritional research. His MD thesis in 1914 was awarded the Bellahouston Gold Medal for the most distinguished thesis of the year.

On the recommendation of his supervisor, he was asked to be the first director of a new research institute in Aberdeen, which would later become the world renowned Rowett Institute. At the time of his appointment, it did not exist, but he would spend the next twenty-five years raising both funds and the profile of nutritional research to make it a reality.

The initial work to build the institute was, however, interrupted by the outbreak of war. Boyd Orr enlisted in the RAMC and saw active service on the Western Front where he was awarded both the Military Cross and the Distinguished Service Order. Later he would never wear the medals saying that the truly brave men had all died.

In the interwar years, he travelled widely and published extensively, emerging as one of the country’s leading experts in nutrition. He first came to national attention in 1936 with the publication of Food, Health and Income, a report of a dietary survey by income group, which revealed that the cost of a diet meeting basic nutritional needs was beyond the means of half the British population.

This led to similar studies being conducted in nineteen other countries and prompted the creation of a Commission of the League of Nations, which tried to formulate a global food policy. It became the forerunner of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Boyd Orr would become the Director General of the FAO from 1945-48. These were important years because the predicted European post-war famine was averted in part by policies put forward by the organisation.

Boyd Orr was no stranger to the challenges of developing and implementing food policies, many of which are still with us today. He spent his later career trying to persuade governments and presidents, organisations and companies to rethink the way they did things. However, he would often bemoan the fact that while he could persuade farmers of the importance of the nutrition of their animals, he could not stir their interest “in the food of their ain bairns, far less in the bairns of ither folks”.

His was a life filled with honours and awards, from Gold medals at University to military decorations to honorary degrees and more. He was elected Rector of Glasgow University and subsequently became its Chancellor. He was briefly a British Member of Parliament, and in 1935 he was knighted for his services to agriculture. In 1949, after he was awarded the Nobel Prize, Prime Minister Clement Attlee ennobled him as Baron Boyd Orr of Brechin Mearns.

Reading of Boyd Orr’s long career it seems he had a series of false starts and perhaps even failures. But he was no dilettante. He combined a powerful intellect with an admirable work ethic to achieve a mastery in everything he tried. That he chose to move from a career in teaching to medical practice, to research, to politics and then to governance and policy making was not evidence of mere restlessness but of a constant desire to do meaningful work.

Boyd Orr was at heart a man with an ambitious vision for the world, and he firmly believed that real peace and prosperity would only ever be achieved when no one was hungry.

The citation for the 1949 Nobel Peace Prize read: “for his lifelong effort to conquer hunger and want, thereby helping to remove a major cause of military conflict and war”.

Tails (OM! Brothers)

What I think the Obey Me! Characters tails would look like in a mermaid AU!

Part: Brothers | Others

A/N: Yes i know the poll still has two-ish days left, but there's already a very clear winner and i don't think it will change. So here's part 1!

×~~~✓\~~~~~~~~~~✓\~~~×

Lucifer

Very showy and very eye-catching, the Avatar of Pride has a very unique and flashy tail. The markings are symmetrical and dangerous looking, matching his sharp, noble looks and personality.

Mammon

Very shiny and ornamental, Mammon boasts his tail like it's the crown jewels. In all actuality, it's the only thing that means more to him than the actual crown jewels. His body and fins resemble that of a koi, a breed of Japanese goldfish that signify success and good fortune.

Leviathan

He hates it. He hates how colorful it is, he hates that it draws so much attention. He wishes it was all dark and slim and pretty much nonexistent. At this point, he'd rather be an eel.

Satan

Satan's tail resembles a lionfish in some ways, and the barbed pectoral fins serve the same function as a lionfish's do. They are venomous, but not deadly, the venom gives a state of paralysis much like sleep paralysis, except the victim remains completely awake, just immobile.

Asmodeus

Asmodeus absolutely prides himself on his tail. His prized possession, he takes care of it every waking moment. He's always peeling shedding scales, being sure to moisturize, and making sure each sparkles like a diamond. The fluke is somewhat reminiscent of a flower, heeding his soft, delicate, almost feminine nature.

Beelzebub

Thick and strong, with fins lining the sides for extra dexterity and athleticism. The spines in the main fin allow him control of the size and shape of the tail, which lets him focus on speed and turning individually.

Belphegor

He...doesn't care. The main fin has some holes, possibly from fin rot, since he doesn't really have the time or energy to take care of himself. He'd much rather be curled up in a cave or a pile of sand on the seafloor than be swimming around. Asmo helps him where and when he can, but there's only so much he can do.

The Hell games will commence January 25! The games ill be conducted in the Wrath ring's amphitheater, and be broadcasted to all the various rings of Hell on select channels and streaming services.

This celebration is meant to showcase the raw, hedonistic carnage demons are known for in their entertainment! The Games will consist of five days of arena games with feasts, and various shows played in between matches! The matches will involve two opponents of similar merit locked in single combat with any weapon or fighting style of their choice. These battles have traditionally been to the death which will not change here, clemency may be given should the crowed be won over by the losing party but it should not be expected.

The matches will have various groups. These being Hellborn demons, sinners and angels, and nobles of both Heaven and Hell. Anyone from Hell and Heaven may attend the games, all expenditures shall be paid for by Satan directly. You are more then welcome to bring a plus one, or a plus fifty should you so choose. The arena will host any number, it hungers for bodies to fill its seats, and flesh and blood to fill its theatre.

All demons and angels are able to sign up to be combatants in the games, so long as there is an active pool of opponents to sink your blades into. We would not want to see St. Michael vs a lowly imp of course. Keep in mind you will have NO control over whom you fight. There will be no faction play, demons may fight angels, angels might fight angels, and goetia may fight goetia. The decisions shall be made based on schedules and what would make for the most entertainment.

Those amongst Hell's forces that prevail shall be rewarded as grand champion of the games, granted an estate to rival that of a goetic prince, their personal army, and all the currency they could ever need, as well as the respect and friendship of Hell's most ancient powers. Finally, all crimes committed shall be forever pardoned.

Those in Heaven shall receive a special prize should they win, one that is not at liberty to be made known just yet.

Applications for combatants are due the first of the coming month.

((OOC rules below))

You must like this post and reply to this post to let me know you intend on attending, just for the sake of keeping things organized for myself.

If you wish to fight please send me an ask telling me your muse's name, race, age, and their fighting style and weapons.

The games will start on 25th of Jan but they may go on longer if need be. Canonically they will be five days, depending on response times the irl time may be longer!

Anyone can fight! There are no rules barring anyone from joining!

You have to be okay with your muse dying! Not everyone who loses will die, and there will be more then one winner given the different classes! That said there is a possibility your muse could die! Please do not send in an application if you are not open to the possibility! Killing is sorta the point of the whole thing!

The fights should be plotted out between the two muns involved, though event coordinators (myself and potentially others) may offer help if needed. I shall talk to both parties before the fight actually starts to figure out how it will go.

The list of opponents will be posted the evening before the next day's games. Rules pertaining to fights may change as the roster grows, as well as how many different types of characters are involved. This list serves more as a foundation to add on later.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

Do not reblog this post as I will be adding to it if I feel I need to over the course of the next month. I am sure I most likely will.

What would happen if multiple female noble drow go after the same male for whatever reason? Would they fight for him? Would he go to the highest ranked House? Because he definitely wouldn't get to choose lmao or would it just end in him being a prostitute, for lack of a better word?

Alternatively, is there a difference between consort and patron in the drow world?

ily

Such a scenario - when two or more noble drow females go after the same male and none of them is willing to give up - is probably every male's worst nightmare.

🕷️ When one of the females has significantly higher station, her rival - or rivals - may show some common sense and back off. Things start to get complicated, though, when the females are of equal or nearly equal station. Then... well, the conflict can get pretty messy, and the male can end up dead.

Sharing is not really an option, because drow females, especially powerful ones, typically do not share. To some degree, it is a matter of possessiveness, control and pride - but also a matter of safety, since "shared" lover could easily become a spy.

🕷️ Eliminate The Rival - a noble drow female trying to kill another noble female over some male is an unlikely scenario, especially when both females are mature and level-headed. To such females, no male would (or should) be that valuable - also, openly fighting for a male could make both of them a subject of mockery.

Still, it can happen, especially when females are young and / or hot-headed, and dislike each other for some time - then the assassination of the rival becomes a tempting option. In the end, the winner gets the prize.

🕷️ Claim The Male First - this applies to a situation when a powerful female wants to officially claim some male as her consort (or patron), but one or several other females also desire him.

If the female is a matron mother, she can, for example, arrange for the male to be discreetly kidnapped and delivered to her doorstep - Matron Malice Do'Urden "obtained" Zaknafein in a similar way. Male officially becomes a member of her house and her consort / patron, and then no other female can have him - not without matron mother's permission, at least.

If the female is not a matron mother, but she is still a noble, she can, for example, convince the matron mother of her house to give her some support - claiming a valuable male as a member of the house can strengthen it, after all.

If the female is on good terms with matron mother and she serves her house well, I suppose that she may even ask to be given a specific male as a reward.

🕷️ If Not Mine, Then No One Else's - even if one of the females finally "wins" and claims the male as her lover, it does not necessarily mean that the conflict no longer exists - on the contrary!

Her rival can, for example, arrange for the male to be killed only to spite her. She can also try to take the male away from her, sometimes only to torment him and / or to kill him - to make sure that he will not be taken back.

🕷️ Male's Misery - many drow males dread attracting the attention of two or more competing noble females. They know that females perceive them only as playthings - and just like it sometimes happens with unfortunate playthings, they may end up being torn apart in such a conflict.

It is said that some very handsome and very popular drow males try to avoid this fate, deliberately making themselves less desirable to females - by acquiring ugly face scars, for example. It usually makes them lose their status, but it can also save their life, since females typically lose interest in them.

🕷️ Patron And Consort - basically, every patron is a consort, but only some consorts are patrons.

Patron is the favoured consort of matron mother of the noble house and (usually) the father of her children - it is one of the highest ranks possible for a male drow.

Consort is one particular male selected by a female drow (of any rank) to be her... well, not a partner, but more-than-an-occasional-lover. Consort is typically expected to be loyal, obedient and good-looking - he is bound to fulfill the female's wishes and to protect her in case of danger. In exchange, he usually receives some measure of female's protection and more or less wealthy gifts - sometimes also the female helps a talented consort to propel his career forward, if only for her own benefit.

One female can sometimes have multiple consorts. She can also have female consorts (of lower social status than her).

Robin Hood

Joseph/Bruno as Robin Hood and Kars/Diavolo as the Villainous King

Darling is the maiden meant to marry Kars/Diavolo against her will

Kars/Diavolo knowing that the hero is in love with Darling sets up a competition and the winner gets a kiss from Darling as the grand prize (But it’s a trap)

Kars/Diavolo is a cruel tyrant leaving his own people in poverty while he lives lavishly and tries to get Darling to submit to him with gifts and luxuries (His patience is running thin)

Darling and Joseph/Bruno were childhood friends and both made a promise to marry each other when they’re older

Kars/Diavolo plan to marry Darling after they catch and kill Joseph/Bruno

I like this concept.

I'd say Joesph as he'd be impulsive and prone to the trap.

Darling and Joesph were both from noble families, however when Kars took over the kingdom The Joestars were stripped of their noble status for fighting against him.

Yet they still remained close, however due to his family being disgraced they were forbidden to marry. Joesph as well as a fellow disgraced noble Ceasar steal money from the Elite and give to those in need.

When Joesph learns that darling's parents have set her up to marry the king he's furious and tries to get darling to run away but darling has a plan. She can give the two intel on the king's plans so they'll know where he's receiving trades from and eventually set up an assassination plan.

Joesph is still against it but Ceasar backs up darlings plan and he hesitantly agrees. So despite prior protests between the king and her family she goes through with the proposal.

She starts living in the castle and despite her deep hatred for Kars she sucks it up. She offers to clean his study or burn the documents he'd have the servants do "as it's what a good wife would do" little does he know she carefully tears the documents with key info, writes down notes and meets up secretly with the two under the rouse of shopping or a walk.

Darling soon learns that Kars has three subordinates after listening into his conversations with them. Making their assassination plans a lot harder as they would now have to deal with four of them.

However after one incident Kars decides he's going find who's behind the robberies. Eventually confronting darling before one of her meetings. she plays ignorant, even pointing out he's watched her burn everything infront of him. He however has the proof to back up his suspicions and she's confided to the castle.

After he hears the claims from on of the traders that one of the robbers has exceptional bow skills and gets an idea of darlings relations with the robbers he sets up an archery contest with the prize of darlings kiss.

Many come but few are able to prove their ability. Joesph is desperate to kiss his love once again so he enters despite Ceasars warnings. He wins and is promptly captured. However darling is able to convince Kars to let her see him one last time before his execution. He allows her and she gives Joesph a hairpin which he uses to escape as well as some more information.

Dress Up - Straw Hats Fic

[Small fic of the Straw Hat crew shenanigans.]

a/n: A prompt my friend said in passing and it possessed me. My first fic on tumblr and I hope it's okay- please enjoy our wonderful silly pirates!

summary: A few of the Straw Hat members crash a party in disguise for a chance at winning a prize. They just so happen to all be crossdressing. And Luffy is incredibly dense.

contains: Annoying flirting attempts, sfw topics, crossdressing, mention of chest area, especially Zoro's, post 2 year time skip, mostly from Nami's perspective.

wc: 2.5+k

Let it be known that Nami's not a gold digger. That being said, three hundred million berries was three hundred million berries.

The Straw Hat crew was originally just passing by. A little pit stop for supplies before they got to the next nightmare island Luffy wanted to take them to. They didn't tend to dawdle too long in places their adventurous captain found boring.

At least, that's usually the case. Now they have other plans, if Nami has any say in the matter. And she has a lot to say about the matter.

Apparently some rich geezer in the fancier part of town was hosting a party for his rich geezer friends. According to the intel she gathered when out shopping, they have a tradition of playing a game with a cash reward for the winner. From what she could tell, it seemed more like a gathering to bet and gamble than anything else, but the prize was real.

The only catch was the guest list. A list that excluded people not friends with said rich geezer. People such as, politely speaking, crazy pirates. And she'd checked, their wanted posters had been pinned up around all areas of the town they've stopped at. Hence why only a small team went out to get supplies while they left the more energetic and easily recognizable members to wait back on the ship.

So her first solution was to get some disguises.

"Why are we doing this again?" Usopp tugged lightly at the bunched fabric climbing over his collar bone. There was clear distaste in his expression but Nami paid it no mind as she slapped his hand away to fasten a thin, glittering chain around his neck.

"Because the only group not going to that party just so happens to look a lot like us." She adjusted the necklace and brushed a few curls out of the way before stepping back to admire her work.

"That's great and all... but do we really have to go dressed like... this?" Usopp gestured at his outfit, to which Nami gave him a merciless smile.

"We have to be convincing right?"

As she said this, her fingers flit into the air to reveal a small photo. She'd managed to get her hands on it a few hours prior, and it's the backbone of her plan. There were six people posed in the photo, dressed to the nines and clearly part of some noble's inner circle.

She tapped one perfectly manicured nail at a striking woman in a sleek crimson dress. The lush black curls framed her face perfectly, looking soft despite the grain of the photo. All of it gave the impression of a powerful, gorgeous person ready to rule, even with the outlandishly long nose at the center of her face.

"I'm not doing this," Zoro growled, hands crossed over his chest. At least, he attempts to. He was clearly having difficulties trying to rest his arms on top of the feathered boa draped over his bare shoulders, the garment falling down his front to stop just above his waist.

For the rest of the boys, she had to add extra padding to give the illusion of a well endowed chest. Therefore, Nami found great amusement in the fact that Zoro's dress was completely unaltered on the top.

"Oh please. You look great!" She tightened the bow around her collar and brushed off the front of her jacket. "Besides, you still owe me five hundred million berries. consider this a chance to pay off a tenth of it."

"Wha- you-! Oi, the number went up! it was less than that last time!"

"Sure, but that's because you forgot about the interest." She stuck her tongue out at him playfully, meeting her thumb and forefinger in a small circle to finish off her signature money pose.

"Unbelievable..."

"These people do bear a striking resemblance to us," Robin noted, taking the photo into her gloved hand to further observe it.

This was the main reason Nami suggested they do this. Every person in the photo looked almost exactly like some member of their crew except in the opposite gender. Since there was a lack of lookalikes for Chopper, Brooke, and Franky, she had to ask them to stay behind for a little while.

Although, considering her plan included Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy, she would have to keep a tight leash on them if she wanted even the slightest chance at winning the prize money. But she had a feeling that it would be worth it in the end. Besides, a part of her was extremely curious to see what they'd all look like cross dressing and so far she wasn't disappointed. Sue her, Nami deserved to have some fun of her own every now and then.

"Ah... Of course I'd do anything for you, Nami-Swan- but uh...." Sanji's face was twisted like he was in pain. She knew he didn't have the most fun on the island of okama, and was quite proud that he was still willing to go through this for her despite that. And she couldn't deny that he really did look flattering in the long, skin tight, black dress he wore.

"You look lovely Sanji-kun." Is all Robin needed to say to have Sanji twirling around and forgetting all of his hesitation. Zoro, on the other hand, was still less than pleased.

"Shouldn't Luffy be done by now?" Usopp chimed in again, casting his gaze at the outhouse they'd gathered around to change. Before Nami got a chance to reply, the door promptly smashed to the ground.

Luffy lowered one, pencil thin heeled shoe from where it hovered in the air, likely the culprit for the decimated door. A soft 'fufufu' echoed from Robin as the group took in the appearance of their captain in a genuine attempt at looking like a girl. And not a single soul had words to speak.

Despite the deep, drooping frown, Luffy was more dazzling than anyone expected.

His legs had no hair and were virtually unblemished. Because of this, Nami thought it would be safe to put him in a deep, wine red dress that ended mid thigh. The top was loosely ruffled to detract from his broader shoulders, and the resulting illusion was a powerful one. Even the wig Robin styled, paired with the light makeup, made him look almost unrecognizable.

Sanji simply stared, mouth slightly agape, which allowed his cigarette to fall from his lips and land mutely on the ground. Zoro's mouth was locked shut but his eyes were blown wide enough to pop. Usopp blinked a few times before holding his hands up in the air.

"I concede. I won't doubt your black magic transformation skills anymore."

The grin that crept onto Nami's face was wicked. They were so getting that money.

~

Nami was very aware of the type of attention she garnered when entering a room. Sure she was part of the self proclaimed 'weak trio' in her crew, but she knew her charms, strengths, and skills, as well as how to use them to her advantage. One thing she'd learned over the years is that there's nothing more eye-catching than confidence.

It's because of this that she was immediately able to read the energy of the room the second she and her friends entered the party.

Now, when people first hear stories of Luffy, they assume that his presence is large and commanding. A powerhouse echoing magnificence with every step he takes. But only those who really know him understand how easy it is to let him slip under the radar. Or lose him in a crowd, in her personal experience. All in all, he was quite unintentionally deceptive in that way- though it proved helpful in many of their adventures. However, this... this was not one of those times.

As they walked through the threshold, it was like watching moths become ensnared by a beacon of light. Every eye in the room glazed over the crew to settle on their captain. Nami's never been on the outside of this scenario and she'd be lying if she said it wasn't an enthralling sight.

Luffy entered the way Luffy enters any room. Casually, confidently, and with some degree of a goal in mind as he moved forward. All these traits flared off his skirt and flickered from the ends of his curled wig. Every clack of his heels on the tile was a booming echo and the curve of his shoulders had the eye of almost every man and woman in the vicinity.

Nami would be tucking this information into her back pocket for future plans.

Their group was quick to separate, sticking in pairs to help reduce any unexpected, and frankly unhelpful, outbursts from any of the more... rambunctious members. Robin kept to Sanji, Usopp with Zoro, and Nami with Luffy.

From what she'd understood during her information gathering, the game would be a sort of trivia. She had no doubt that they wouldn't fly through with flying colors, especially when working alongside Robin and Usopp. The concern was making sure the remaining three didn't blow their cover before they could even get to that point.

So here Nami found herself at one of the fancy tables, decorated in the poshest way possible with gold ornaments and jewel studded dishware. All items she would absolutely find a way to sneak back to the ship before they left. Luffy sat beside her, arms crossed over his chest and an ever present pout on his face.

"I'm hungry," he grits out, leveling a blazing glare out at the dance floor. "And these clothes are uncomfortable."

"I promised you a big meal after this, didn't I?" Nami replied calmly. He sank further into his chair, blowing a silky black strand of hair out of his face.

"Meat?"

"And more."

"Hm."

Nami can't help chuckling at her captain. He was an adult and more reliable than he looked, but he certainly had his own childish moments. A part of her was touched that he also agreed to go along with her whims for this, even though it went against almost everything in his nature. Wild Luffy, sitting quiet and polite. And in a dress at that.

As she swirled a flute of champagne, pitching it up to take a sip, she was quick to catch sight of a finely dressed man making his way over to their table.

She set the cup back down and rested her chin gingerly atop her hand. Recognizing the look on his face and having experienced this one too many times before, she prepared herself to play the man like a fiddle. He looked like a fellow with money in his pockets, surely she could snatch his wallet while he was preoccupied. Then she belatedly realized that she wasn't 'Catburgalar Nami' in that moment. Because Luffy was not 'Monkey D. Luffy' in that moment either.

"Lord Geraldine." The man gave Nami a brief tilt of his head before immediately redirecting glittering eyes on a displeased looking Luffy. "Lady Celestine, I'm glad to see you all decided to attend. I wanted to say that there's something... different about you today."

It took Luffy a moment to realize the man was talking to him. He blinked up at the guy, pointed at himself, looked at Nami, then looked back at him.

"Uh, yes. I mean no." Nami pressed her face into her hand. She also forgot that Luffy can't act for the life of him.

"No, I do quite insist that you seem a little different." As he spoke, the man bowed at the waist to be more on level with her captain before gently taking a lock of Luffy's fake hair in his hand. "Could it be a new style you're trying out? A new perfume perhaps?"

"I don't wear perfume," Luffy stated bluntly. Nami began to reach out to him, thinking of something to say to step in and distract the man before they were discovered.

"Ah, I see." Luffy's eyes met the man's and Nami swore she saw him shiver. "Your natural beauty is just extra dazzling then."

"Er... sure?" Luffy lifted a hand to scratch at the back of his neck where the line if his wig dug into his skin. The man followed the line of his arm and the fluttering movement of his hair. Nami can't tell if she wanted to laugh or cry.

"You know... I've never dared to speak to you. I didn't see any reason to before but, I don't know what I was thinking then. Someone as... enchanting as you- how could I not?" There's almost the whisper of a sigh to his voice and Luffy's expression twisted into a frown.

"I am not," he bit out, throwing the man off guard entirely. The stranger reeled back, although his face colored a deep red at the power and authority in Luffy's voice.

"I apologize if I've offended you. I just wanted to-"

"You're annoying. Go away." And with that, Luffy returned to his previous demeanor of pouting in his chair with his arms crossed, glaring out at the dance floor. Except now there was an extra air of irritation around him that wasn't there before.

"Oh... I... yes, Lady Celestine. Sorry to have been a bother." The man stumbled for a moment before scuttling away. Rather than looking upset, he seemed awfully pleased with himself in a way that made even Nami's mood sour just a bit.

Once he was gone, Nami snapped out of her daze to look at Luffy. She wasn't sure what to expect when coming to this party, but that interaction was not it. Not to mention he turned on the man so suddenly, she can't determine what part of that speech had set him off.

"What was that about?" She asked, leaning into her palm.

"He called me enchanting," he spat out, making Nami blink. There's something she's missing here, she knows it.

"What's so bad about that?" She didn't flinch when his eyes snapped over to meet hers. The hostility wasn't directed at her, but he was clearly upset for some reason.

"I'm not enchanting."

There's definitely something here that she's missing. He said it with such force and venom that it made the word sound evil. But this was Luffy she was speaking too, and there's likely more to it than just what the surface was showing. So she tried a different approach.

"Mhm, and what do you think 'enchanting' means?"

Now it's Luffy's turn to look at her with slight confusion. His expression eased, shoulders losing a bit of their tension while his expression screamed that she was the weird one in this moment.

"It means rich and weak!"

Ah, there it is.

Nami decided in that moment that she may just try to steal the money later after she finds out who ends up winning it. Especially when she sees another nobleman waltzing over to their table with a carnation in hand. There was no way she was going to stop a line of suitors from interacting with Luffy before he eventually snapped. 

And maybe she'll get a chance to explain to him what the word 'enchanting' means. After she finds out what word he possibly mixed it up with in the first place.

{Fin.} Thanks for reading!
