[hanaban]

Yeah? How? Pick it up and run away with it?

[ he would be all over it if it were a spaceship they were stealing, but a boat? ehh ]

[sharkgirl]

[....... ok good point this binch doesn't know how to sail]

How hard can it be to sail it out into the ocean? Ace can do it.

[hanaban]

[ he thinks about it for a moment ]



Yeah, if Ace can do it, so can we! It just needs to be windy! The sails will do all the work.

[sharkgirl]

[she squints up at the boat...]

I've got a wonderball that can make wind happen, probably... I was kinda saving it, but. [just in case she gets murdered or smth] I really want the boat, though.

[hmmmms.]

[hanaban]

Hmm...

[ he looks up at the boat, trying to think if he has any wonderballs that might help, but the ones he has are only good for pranking Ponta, not for stealing boats ]

Maybe instead of figuring out how to make it go, we should figure out how to make it stay so they can't leave with it before we're ready. We can tie the anchor to the docks or something.

[sharkgirl]

[i like that it's specifically just ponta]

I'm not about planning. [obviously] But - that works, sure. I like this one? Unless you see a different one that you like better.

[digs around in her backpack...]

[hanaban]

Mm... None of these ships look like they have cannons. I want one with those.

[ a legitimate pirate ship!!!! not one of these boring industrial shipping vessels ]

[sharkgirl]

We could order a cannon on Amazoom. [

can you]

[hanaban]

Oh yeah! Isn't that just two tokens? I'm broke, so you'll have to spot me.

[ it's. it's a weapon? it probably counts ]

[sharkgirl]

Uhhhhh.

[:bunsweat:]

I don't have any tokens either. [sometimes you get tokens and spend all of them immediately on wonderballs every week?]

[hanaban]

[ same hat ]

Do you know anybody with a lot of tokens? We're cute. We can get them to pay.

[sharkgirl]

[thinking...]

Temenos?

[hanaban]

I don't like the idea of owing Temenos...

[ you know and he knows Temenos wouldn't buy them cannons for free, out of the goodness of his heart, ]

[sharkgirl]

[she hums.]

I don't know, I bet I could get him to buy me a cannon without owing him anything. I've got my ways. [she seems so unreasonably confident about this]

[hanaban]

You've got blackmail material.

[ that's got to be it, right? ]

[sharkgirl]

[the big grin on her face suggests that yes

yes she does]

[hanaban]

[ immediately drapes himself across Nimona's shoulders and lets himself be dead weight ]

I won't tell! I promise!!

[ he wants to know!!!! ]

[sharkgirl]

[aeugh]

No! [she does not even attempt to get him to get off of her, just sloooowly sinks down to the deck.] It's my blackmail, I got it fair and square!

[hanaban]

[ he's going to crush her if she doesn't tell!!!! ]

That doesn't mean you can't share! Nimonaaaaaaa...

[sharkgirl]

[sloooowly gets crushed]

I am a master of espionage I will not be bribed by you saying my name in a sad dejected way!

[hanaban]

Nimona.........

[ ;n; ]

[sharkgirl]

[she wriggles enough so that she can do this to his face]

[hanaban]

Bwehh--

[ his soft stretchy mochi cheeks!!


... he looks a little bit happy despite that, though. he knows better than anybody that this is just how you show your love ]

[sharkgirl]

[first of all this panel is cute, wtf. and second of all it is a show of love, and she's laughing a little as he makes the bweehhh sound.

she's never had... well, much of a family at all, but especially not siblings. ace did this to her a few times, and she's copying him - her this is my bratty brother emotion coming through strong.]

Defeated! [she says smugly from where she's like, flopped on the deck i guess]

[hanaban]

[ Hanako mumbles something muffled before he's able to get himself free, rubbing at his cheek a little. He always used to be the cheek puller, not the pulled, it was his big brother privilege. ]

This time, but I'll get you back!

[ lays down on his back, arms spreadeagled. like this, the sky and ocean blend together almost seamlessly. ]

... Tama was teaching me how to swim. Did you ever end up learning?
