❝ if i show you my eyes, i'll have to kill you and everyone you ever loved. ❞
marina’s brows furrowed. was this person serious? that was probably one of the most cliche things anyone could ever say. resting her hands on her hips, she flashed the other an unimpressed look. come on, you can do better than that! then she took a step forward and smacking upwards on the brim, flipping the hat off their head.

MARINA AND LOVE!
marina is very physically affectionate towards people. it’s the biggest way she expresses herself and that she cares about others! she likes her alone time every now and again like most people, but when she’s around others she likes to be close. and maybe some would consider that clingy. i feel like she leans on people, rests her head in their lap, drapes her legs over their legs. i think she hangs off of cash [ @piratebento / @horonomi ] a lot. they just sit on the deck together and marina sits in between her legs just chilling. she is a BIG HUGGER! she loves to give hugs. real bear hugs. a lot of the time she has to refrain from hugging people she just met/doesn’t know that well/knows aren’t comfortable or interested in hugging. but sometimes she can’t help herself sorry. i also think when it comes to boog [ @moryanki ] she will hug them anyway. to be a pest. and playfully punch their arm, or slap them on the back of the head. maybe even slap them on the back of the head for real when they upset her. she loves cheek kissies!! much the same as hugging she does try to tone it down buuuut if she’s really excited she might slip up a bit. but you make her really happy she will just grab your face and give you a kiss on the cheek! or two… or twenty and you gotta fight to push her away cos she won’t stop.

marina bites. she will just bite you. she likes you? she will bite you. she hates you? she will bite you. in a fight. brain go brrr. bite works.
His attention swept over to her, before it was nabbed by the sudden movement in her backpack. That was something Sanji wasn't expecting. His eyes widened. Almost taken by surprised as a creature's head appeared, greeted by something in the backpack. Huh. He hadn't been expecting that!
Giuseppe? ❝ Huh. Yeah. The beginning is probably the best part, so I suppose the beginning it is. I hope you don't mind me asking. But is that a pet of yours? That Giuseppe? ❞
𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐀'𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃. giuseppe just couldn't be normal for once in his life could he? always causing trouble for her. ❝ ah, my pet? um.. i guess you could say that... ❞ she replied, quickly. she reached around and picked up the small lemur, moving around to the front. placing him down on a chair besides her. but he decided he didn't want to sit their apparently, because now he was on the table.
❝ i really like animals, right. i'm even writing a book about them! well i was... i am-- kinda still-- anyway. before i joined my crew i just travelled around, explored and observed all the animals i saw and wrote about them in my book! and then i found giuseppe. he was an orphan, and he is only a baby so he would have died out there by himself. so i took him in! i was only going to take care of him until he didn't need me anymore and then like rehabilitate him... but i think he kept me. ❞
she gave him a small smile, hoping she didn't sound weird. not all of the crew approved of the little lemur. and yes he could be annoying sometimes. but he was really okay. ❝ do you like animals? ❞

head cocks, brow rising in QUESTION, ❛ you're a cowboy ? ❜ she's giving you a once over. 𝚗𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚝. 𝚗𝚘 𝚐𝚞𝚗. 𝚗𝚘 𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚜𝚎 behind you either. were you PARTIAL to bending the truth, like her ? did you have a FRONT to display to strangers in order to keep REAL 𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚢 safe ? emi can seriously get behind that ! expression contorts into it's TYPICAL friendly demeanor, ❛ howdy to you too ! ❜ arm LINKS into yours and she drags you with her as she skips along pathway, ❛ d'you have a name ? ❜
𝐇𝐔𝐇? she really thought she was a cowboy? she wishes! uh don't say that.
❝ oh... um no. im not a cowboy, ❞ she replied, quickly, a little confused. ❝ i'm a pirate. sometimes i just say howdy i guess... ❞ saying that out loud made marina realise how lame that sounded. she made a mental note to never say howdy ever again, especially to strangers. how embarrassing.
she had not expected to be swept away by the other woman, but she didn't protest either. but where exactly were they going?
❝ uh, yeah... i'm nardi marina. what about you? ❞
❝ where's the hoard of dragons? the tyrannical power-hungry ruler?? ❞ how many times was this going to happen — seeing her likeness in the face of another? was it too much to ask for just one full week where the world wasn't on the verge of total collapse or destruction? the mage releases an exhausted groan as she drops to hunch her shoulders slightly, allowing slender arms to hang limp in front of her.
❝ don't tell me, you're also called lucy. ❞
@morymarina gets a spider-man meme encounter from lucy
𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐋𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑! this was bad news. doppelgangers were bad news! marina would often play off her knowledge of the paranormal as just as causal interest, but anyone who really knew her would tell you that wasn't true. doppelgangers weren't just people who kinda looked like you. doppelgangers were supernatural apparitions and harbingers of bad luck, sometimes even considered omens of death! and here she was standing right in front of one! and one of her!
marina took a small step back. her eyes narrowing as she stared at her ghostly double. she needed to come up with a plan to fight this thing... but how do you fight an apparition?
❝ lucy? ❞ she asked, cocking a brow. ❝ my name is nardi marina... ❞
face drops at the sound of your voice. 𝚄𝙷 𝙾𝙷. could this mean trouble ? emi does not feel like dealing with TROUBLE today. she's already snagged and tore her favorite tights while outrunning a NOSY baker with a loaf of bread under her arm. your words hardly register in her ears before hat is SNATCHED off scalp and she's taking a step back from you. arm out, palm facing your being, ❛ if you're here about those missing PEARLS, you've got the wrong girl ! i keep getting mistaken for her and it's becoming quite the inconvenience. ❜ 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚝𝚑𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛 ! though this lie has gotten her out of two of three accusations.
𝐀𝐇𝐇𝐇𝐇 what was happening now? marina wasn't really quite sure what pearls she was talking about, but this all seemed very suspicious. however, they weren't her pearls, and to be quite honest, marina didn't really care whether or not she stole them so she wasn't even going to ask.
❝ uh... all i said was howdy? that's kinda like hello, but to cowboys and like people who live on farms i guess.. in don't normally say howdy. usually i just say hello... but i probably say howdy more than i would like to admit, actually. ❞
