THE TERRIBLE ADVICE MEME

i. Top level with a character and a short problem or scenario for which they'd like advice, input or dis/encouragement. This can be as light ('Garum haunts my dreams,' 'I think my party companion is trying to buy my soul') or serious ('How do I make friends 500 years into tragic immortality?' ) as you like.

ii. Mention in their comment header if they are signed-in or anonymous + content warn as due!

iii. Comment around, troubleshoot woe, give everyone the gift of your character's wisdom this holiday season! Or embrace your inner chaos and make this advice tragically terrible.

I can call it back when I need it.

Sometimes you get really relaxed after a drink or two, you know?

[Or three, or four, or five. Look, he loves his booze as any good pirate should.]

[cartographie]

The hallway never needs it.

Now I want a drink.

[theflashyfool]

Fine. I'll make a better effort, okay?

Wanna do it together?

[come ooon, drinking buddy.]

[cartographie]

Thank you.

Please. I still have a bottle from that manor we visited. Maybe we can figure out how to get Luffy in the tub.

[theflashyfool]

You're welcome.

And trust me, I'm working on it. Maybe bribery will work...

Has Sanji ever tried dangling meat over the tub?

[cartographie]

I threatened to sit on him. It's not going well...

[theflashyfool]

You threatened to sit on him, in the bath?? And he still said no??

[Did hormones forsake Luffy or what, yeesh.]

I'm sweetening him up with stories of Shanks. I think it might be working.

[cartographie]

IT WAS MEANT AS A THREAT BUGGY.

[ Can you not. ]

Damn you're good.

[theflashyfool]

I'm just saying!! It's not much of a threat coming from a lovely young lass like yourself.

[It's a compliment!! Probably.]

I'm going to need more than one drink after this.

[cartographie]

I'll remember that the next time I trip on one of your parts?

We're going to have so many drinks after this.

[theflashyfool]

What??

[Nami, what does that mean]

We're going to need to stock up if it's like this every time.

[cartographie]

I don't know, I'm too sober for any of this.

I told him there'd be food after. I think that might have done it.

[theflashyfool]

Let's grab a drink BEFORE we get him in the bath?

It'll make it go smoother.

[cartographie]

Tempting, but if he runs and he's slippery we'd never catch him.

[theflashyfool]

I swear this is like having a pet.

Fine, drinks after. Lots of them.

[cartographie]

Welcome to my life, I have four of them.

Five now. You're part of this.

[theflashyfool]

Come on! I'm not like a pet!!

I'm pretty useful and I clean up after myself! And I bathe!

[cartographie]

And then something ticks you off and you bark about it for an hour...no not like a pet at all.

[theflashyfool]

I told you, I heard someone bring up the size of my nose!!! He said bright and red!!

[Don't try to tell him he was talking about literally anything else.]

[cartographie]

The man was selling apples.

[theflashyfool]

Then WHY was he looking at my NOSE???


[Ugh, now he's just angry all over again.]

[cartographie]

Buggy.

[theflashyfool]

[HUFF.]

It just really pisses me off!
