// hey folks! as you may have noticed it's been a hot minute since I've hopped on these single-muse blogs ! over the holidays, i had a big work self-improvement project thing go on and so it sort of made me hunker down to just my multi as my go-to for roleplaying. While I still have some muse for Jimbei & Paulie, for condensing sake, I will be moving them both over to @niightwcves until further notice! they will both be as request muses on that blog.
as for threads and asks, I'm only going to carry over the non-prompt asks over to the multi and try and see if I can continue some threads I have for them over there as well! I totally understand if you don't want to continue the ones that you may see in the near future and by all means i am totally down for starting new ones! Also super down for any relationships/shipping connections i have with them too <3
Feel free to unfollow these blogs/remove from affiliates/pinned post if you'd like because I cannot guarantee they'll make their way back here! they will be on niightwcves and all connections with them will appear on the connections pages of my carrd!!
// i want to state for the record, i forgot i had these in queue and the queue was pause sO-
anyways, like I said, Paulie's moving to the multi until further notice <3
"i'm not---i still want to--but i just thought that you wouldn't want---" he wasn't finding the right words to say here, hands finding it troublesome to stay at his sides. he never thought that paulie would come around like this. his eyes widened when he glanced at the other on the verge of tears. the sliver of hope rose in the man as he watched paulie light up the cigar. it was when paulie spoke about how he was going to make his own decision over this whole matter, that even though he had given the man a way out of this, out of them being in a relationship again--it would seem that there was still a chance for them.
tonight had been a rather jarring conversation between the both of them, something that had opened his eyes a bit more to just how much the both of them still meant to one another. the question that paulie gave did start some cogs in his own mind. what exactly where they going to do with all of this information?
"well i for one don't want to be punched.." he started, maybe not the best way to answer him, but he was being honest. "maybe it would be best to end tonight with what was said," and boy was there a lot that was said between them. he was glad that they spoke though, airing out all the dirty laundry--it was a good start. "you say that you're wishing this conversation never happened, but if i'm being honest, i'm glad that it did."
it gave him a reason to fight for them. and when he has something to fight for, there's nothing that will stop him.
Paulie remains tight-lipped on correcting Kaku. While it should be a smarter decision to end it all, quashing whatever feeling he has as hard as he could, he still stands here && undoubtedly voiced that wasn't what he necessarily wanted. He's not sure where he stands. He can't even say what he wants anymore. His mind's reasoning versus his heart's is a cruel battle. One he thought he ended months ago.
The cheeky response earns a genuine glare shot in his direction, not amused with a sudden lighthearted comment when his throat feels raw from yelling. The ugly taste in his mouth souring his mood further. " Yeah, well, that makes one of us, " he says, bringing back up that front he held onto this long. This disinterest of pursuing things again. ( Could you blame him ? ) Curt as it was, Paulie proceeds to pass by Kaku. His gaze the moment he started walking bore a trench into the stone && concrete, letting their conversation weigh on him as he leaves. The strain of letting his feelings spill out, he feels like digging into his personal stash of a numbing drink didn't sound terrible. It's not the first time where his solution is to reach for that, && certainly not the last.
Not another word was uttered from the man. Nothing but restrained footfalls, the shipwright trying so hard to keep a steady ( normal, as if unbothered ) pace as he walks away. Resisting an urge to get away as fast as he could so he could release that tension he feels in his chest. A translucent trail of smoke left behind as the only thing he wanted to linger after all that.
Once he was sitting she handed the cup over to him in offer, still looking out over the water. “I heard rumors about it, but…I mean I lived near the knock up stream and that’s already a weird ocean event.” The knock up stream had destroyed the island as well, but it wasn’t a constant thing, unlike this wave. Caravel sighed softly, watching the ocean as the waves came up to the dock.
“Mock Town is a shit hole. Mom’s lived there since she married my old man, and his reputation kept her safe for years.” It was a pirate island, Paulie might not figure out who her dad was but it would be enough to know he was a pirate that was feared. “But she’s not a pirate, she’s starting to notice the looks some of the guys give her. I want to get her out, she deserves to be safe after all the shit my dad put her through.”
Xebec’s reputation was a boon and a curse, it kept her safe but it made her a target. “I may move her onto one of the other islands, yeah that’s a smart idea.” She nodded, smiling to Paulie “Thanks.”
He raises his hand with a soft "I'm good" to politely decline the cup offered to him. The stories he's heard throughout the years as some sort of old story shared between pirates && locals there. Like geysers, he was told once upon a time. A massive, eruptive phenomenon that could practically reach the skies. It only came to show that his home was just a sliver of the entire world. Who knows what sort of things are out there ? If any of those tales he's heard in passing were true.
It falls just short of the shipwright making any connections to anyone notorious ( or perhaps simply important ) for the young woman sharing bits of her story. Plenty of people had plenty of heavy, intimidating influence to keep family && friends safe. The kind of influence this unknown father had to protect them narrows in mentioning that her mother wasn't a pirate. So likely a pirate as well. They were often the most selfish, he's quick to assume. Idly scratching at his face, he nods && continues to quietly listen to her.
" Most of my folks live on the next island over. It's for the best, I'd say. One less thing to worry about compared to here, y'know ? " Less business with unsavory folks the way they did from time to time as well. He'd rather not get his family wrapped up in what they aren't prepared for. " What's her opinion on the idea of moving ? "
❛ you look like you could use a hand with that. ❜ - Iso
" Yeah- Just grab it- Yup- " Letting the other to take hold of the other end of the box, he's able to move it to the table nearby without any incident. Not that it was inevitable, but sure beats the risk of a blunder. As the box lands on the table with a small thump, Paulie pulls away from it to stretch out his back.
" Thanks, " he finally says, placing his hand on top of the box with a grin. " Thought I'd be fine carrying it the rest of the way. " Now that he had full visibility of his new company, he looks up && down at him. " You're not a new hire here, are ya ? Where'd ya come from ? "

He scored higher than he thought he would.
// ok fr though, I do plan to come back to this blog, @buraiikan, and @shipwrght sometime in the February/March timeline. Didn't intend to kinda drop off the face of the earth like that but!! it do be like that </3 Was having too much fun on the multi I guess!!
I am... considering moving Jimbei and Paulie back to the multi but as of right now, I'm making no definitive decisions. We'll just see what's to come-
// Its been rattling in my big empty head over how Paulie would react to certain big names on both the Marine/WG side and the Pirate sides of things. I don't think he particularly has a passion or liking to either sides (but if I'm honest, he would find marines still more reliable than pirates. Luffy's crew is the only exception to that thought, at least for my canon on this blog). So long as you pay for what you want to be fixed, for all Paulie cares, you could be notorious thieves or the royal member of a nearby island.
I don't think he necessarily pays too close attention to pirate bounties either. Their island seems to be neutral territory for all parties, given who they offer their services to. Like he'll know the big names like members of the Warlords, Roger, and the Emperors of the Sea, maybe a couple of major vice admirals/fleet admiral but any specifics? Nothing more than what the morning paper might put out. It's not like he's had to go toe to toe with them or interact with them on a daily basis either. Simply put, Paulie may know people by name but not much else other than general, very basic rumors or something along the lines of that. Maybe a few headliners here and there, but don't expect him to have immediate knowledge of everyone ever.
That said, regardless of who's affiliated with who, Paulie can and will square up with people who are going to cause problems or try to skip town and not pay. Celestial Dragons (if they were to ever do business at Water 7), are kind of a toss up in my head. I don't think he would give them much respect for the privileged attitude but also he doesn't want it to reflect on the company as a whole and cause more problems for Iceburg's/Water 7's reputation. Most likely he'd be told to bite his tongue or avoid the client entirely and just do the work. Tldr; don't let Paulie interact with those kinds of people unless you want the trouble lol.
//HELLO?
// Some quotes that made me think of paulie lately-
@shipwrght continued from x
it was the moment he heard the shutter of the camera go off that kaku opened his eyes slowly, moving in the bed as he could visibly see the light illuminating the bedroom.
head began to turn to see that paulie had come home and there was a smile on his face before patting the giraffe plushie on it's neck.
"so.." he spoke groggily as he yawned, stretching out his body. "i brought home something i won from the festival on the island near here." he went out of his way to venture a few clicks over from water seven just to enjoy a simple carnival. "i hope that's okay."
the poor man was oblivious that paulie had actually taken a picture of him.
He moves just fast enough to pocket the picture and the camera snail as Kaku shifts awake. He had a feeling he'd wake up && it would seem he got away with it. He simply hopes the picture he stuffed in his pocket wouldn't come out too crinkled around the edges.
Leaning against the doorframe, his grin quickly shifts into an amused smile as he watches the other. So that's where he got it. Did he mention that he wanted to go to this festival ? Did he forget ? Questions aside, it would seem he had fun, nor did he seem annoyed seeing him.
" You go by yourself ? Or did you meet up with others ? " Moving from the frame to their bed, he sits close enough to give the plush giraffe's body a little pat. " It's pretty cute. This guy got a name ? "
paulie will find kaku on the bed sleeping with a 4 foot giraffe plushie. did he win it at a fair?? did he steal it from a venue??? who knows. its just there in bed with him.
He's not about to let him sleep in peace either. ( At least, capture this moment when his partner's guard is down ! ) A growing grin on his face is inevitable, snickers stifled as he snaps a quick picture of his fiance for keeps.
He'll ask about it when he wakes up. Not every day your partner brings home a big stuffed animal from seemingly nowhere. He didn't take him as a plushie guy.

" the look on your face says there's more on your mind . " - For Caravel asked by @shipwrght
Caravel didn't look up from her drink as Paulie spoke, sighing as she trailed her feet in the water. "Drinking on the docks made that kinda obvious huh?" Finally tilting her head back to smiled ruefully up to him, patting the deck next to her.
"I'm just in my own head." Taking a sip from her cup she shook her head, kicking a foot up to create ripples. "Someone told me about that wave thing....I was talking to my mom right before that. About moving her here." Now she wasn't so sure that was a good idea, Mock Town was dangerous but it wasn't sinking
" Just a little. " Paulie accepts the invitation, sitting crosslegged right beside her. " Didn't realize you hadn't heard about it yet. " && it wasn't as though he could say it was some simple 'bad storm.' It's gotten worse over the years, sinking the island further && further, leaving citizens to be forced to move or... find another island to live on.
" Dealing with Aqua Laguna sure isn't for the faint of heart, but we have measures to protect as many people as we can. " For as long as he could remember, he helped his family && his neighbors with boarding up their homes to keep the powerful waves from seeping in the cracks && soaking every little prized possessions in seawater. It wasn't the easiest life to live, but it's the only one he's known.
" If you wanted her to still live close, the sea train connects to a couple other islands nearby. So... y'still got options at least. Tickets are pretty cheap here. Not a long ride either. Practically guaranteed smooth sailing if you wanted to visit or her visit you. "
