tapdancinskelly | 1st Song [video]

[Brook has found himself stuck on a flimsy raft out at sea. He can be seen drinking a cup of tea while seemingly having a tea party for himself.]

Well... the accommodations aren't exactly five star, and it's a little leaky, but at least it seems steerable. Not quite as bad as the last vessel I found myself alone on in the middle of nowhere. Yohohoho!

[Brook keeps fiddling with the journal, not really sure how it works.]

I wonder if anyone shall find me? ... Well! No point in sulking about it, when you're feeling down and alone, you should sing!

When you are refined,
And would like to dine,
There's only one beverage that you need,
When you need a drink,
To bring you back from the brink,
It's the greatest thing indeeeeeed!

This is an ode to tea,
The greatest drink in the land!
Tea is great for snack times,
It is so very grand!
Without tea I'd be lost,
Although I think already am!
So here's an ode to tea,
To help me give a damn!

Yohohoho!

[He seems to be taking notes in his journal on the lyrics... that make no sense]

Hmm... I think that last verse still needs a little work.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[And he just continues on as if he'd never asked]

Yohohoho! Brook of the straw hat pirates, at your service dear lady! Might you grace me with your name in return?

[Sure, noooow he's a gentlemen.]

Brook...san.

[Rei kind of glowers for a moment, smoldering, but lets it go. The Straw Hat Pirates does stick, something Marco mentioned.]

I am Rei Hino.

Rei is it? What a lovely name! So Rei-san, from what I understand this is another world, correct? In your world, were you by any chance a queen? You seem to have a sort of regal demeanor about you.

Yes, it is another world. And no, I'm not a queen, I'm a miko. A priest.

[And she's using her guilt-powers on you]

[Well seeing as Brook's flattery plan has failed, and he's found out she's practically a nun, that sure feels like a verbal kick to his head.]

Oh... a priest you say? I see... Well that certainly fills my heart with guilt.

Oh wait, I don't have a heart. Yohohoho!

...Brook-san. How is it that you are still even alive? Some dark magic, no doubt.

[Rei's tone is both...confused and derisive, since he's a perverted skeleton.]

Well that is indeed an interesting tale! You see, once upon a time, on an ocean called the grand line, I ate a cursed fruit that brought me back from the dead!

Edited 2012-09-24 18:22 (UTC)

[Siiiip. Wait, were you expecting more?]

The End.

Oh. So...you know Marco-san then? And...[She tries to remember all the weirdo pirates she's met...] Luffy-san, right?

Correct! You're quite the knowledgeable one! Luffy happens to be my captain as a matter of fact. And Marco offered to pick me up off of this silly raft.

I've just met both of them.

[Stop trying to flatter her Brook, that'll just get her mad]

So you have a Devil Fruit. Which means you can't swim, right?

[Actually, that one wasn't even intentional.]

Yohohoho! So you're also a relatively new arrival then?

[Well that sounds like a dangerous question to answer, and yet he answers it anyways]

Yup, I sink like a rock. Why, are you thinking of drowning me?

No, I've been here for 6 months. I've known Marco-san since my second day here.

And no, I wouldn't drown you. I like Marco-san, and Luffy-kun seems pretty nice too.

Oh... not so new then.

...

So the only reason you wouldn't drown me is because of my friends? Ouch, that harsh, soooo harsh! Yohohoho!

Do I really look that mean, Skeleton-san?

Well... some people are that harsh. (Like Nami if he asked to see her panties on a bad day) And those were the only reasons you gave me.

Not me. The only reason I'd be mean to you is if you were evil.

Well, I can assure you that I'm not evil. Maybe not the most moral, but I'm certainly not evil.

If...you say so...though there's only one way to prove that.

You like tea, don't you?

Nope, can't stand it. It's vile swill, that only the desperately depraved drink while evilly plotting to take over the world.

[Siiiiip.]

Yes, I like tea. Yohohoho!

Then...when you make it to the village, I'll make you some and you can prove that to me.

[Also, just being there...will let her see if you're evil or not.]

Tea with a cute young lady? How can I refuse? Yohohoho!

Then I'll wait for you.

[And wait she does...]

[And he'll show up a few hours later, after being picked up off his little raft.]

Hellooooo? Rei-san? Are you there?

[Course he doesn't exactly know where there is, so he's been searching all over the town.]

[She didn't specify, but he'll find her sitting beside the fountain, wearing an amused smile.]

Brook-san? Hello there.
