2nd Form [Video | Action]

 [The observant will instantly recognize this place as Good Spirits Bar. The wall, at least. Mihawk is seated at the corner of the bar, looking down at the journal with a deeply unhappy expression on his face. Those who know him better might recognize the fact he looks also mildly irritated, supremely tired and in dire need of alcohol. Which is why he is at the bar in the first place.]

I have been informed that several members of Straw Hat's crew are currently present in this place. I would be most--

[he pauses a moment, reconsidering his wording. ...nah, screw it.]

--grateful,

[let that sink in for a moment]

if one or all would make their way to the bar and pick up a certain something in my possession that I am most certain belongs to them. We are at the Good Spirits bar.

[Another pause.]

...this invitation does not extend to you, Red Hair.

[He needs to at least pretend you're not going to drop by and make his life harder than it already is. Even though he knows you're going to come anyway. Blah.]

[Action]

[Should you come looking for Mihawk after such a... particular message, you will find him sitting in the corner of the bar, as previously mentioned, surrounded by several empty mugs of beer, elbows on the bar and face delicately cradled in his fingers. His large, black sword is propped against the wall by his side and his hat is helping obscure his face.

And if you're really, really observant, you might realize there's a certain greenhaired urchin, tired up and gagged, tucked under his stool and partially hidden by the fall of his coat.]

What did Luffy-sama's crew lose? It's nice of you to return it to them.

[If Mihawk isn't too drunk to notice, the lighting seems a little weird in the girl's video feed, and her hair is a little off. Let's just say there's not enough gentle breezes in the world to make it dance around her the way it is.]

[Someone bandying around Straw Hat and Red Hair means it's someone from home. Prooobably someone powerful if they're going to sass Shanks like that. Also, 'possession'. Hmm.]

I'll come grab it. Can I ask who this is?

[tibias]

[ for once he's not in the bar!! but he is heading there now ]

You wound me, Hawkeyes.

[alabastajewel]

[There's something vaguely familiar about the man, or at least Vivi has the impression she should know who he is, but she's coming up blank. Nor is she sure if he would count her as a member of Luffy's crew or not.]

Are you a friend of Luffy-san's?

Ah, I suppose I could come and get--what is it you have, actually?

[Brook walks into the bar, curious as to what the legendary sword master wanted with them.]

Good evening!

[Brook gives a tip of the hat, oblivious to the bound and gagged Zoro tucked under stool.]

[... Why do all the really fuckin strong pirates get taken here? Sanji quietly baffles before switching the journal function into video]

You said "we".

[A pause, and then he goes out on a limb] I take it our shitty possession has turned you to drinking.
