We all know Alex loves fried apples, but what about the rest of the crew? What's everyone's favorite foods? And what does Canda have the hardest time convincing them to eat?

Alex - Other than fried apples, she’s pretty good with different foods and there’s nothing she really dislikes… but she’s not that fond of red meat.

Elias - Handmade gingerbread cookies and raw oysters are his favorite foods, but he doesn’t like exotic dishes; as long as Canda doesn’t tell him what’s in it, he’ll eat it.

Eyvindr - Peanut butter with marshmallows! Which is not healthy. Canda practically has to force Eyvindr to eat healthier foods, but Eyvindr won’t touch it unless its exotic so Canda has a separate cook book just for the researcher.

Shale - A home cooked meal helps calm his nerves, especially if its a soup. He’s probably the easiest to convince on trying new foods.

Rin - Any sweet dish, she likes, though cookies are the best bet to her heart. Spicy foods are her worst enemy, Canda has such a hard time convincing her to try his least spicy dishes; it’s currently 200 tries with no success.

Canda - This young man adores spicy foods, his favorite dish is the hottest curry known to man. He confesses that he doesn’t like chocolate, but he’s working on it… slowly.

What were they like as a child?

As i child I was… easily excitable. My mother was very loving and supportive of my choices, even if they were determined from birth. My decision to study alchemy was from a very early age, and was always rushing off to show someone like her or my teacher or friends new experiments. I mellowed out as I got older, but being the strong but slow kid meant I never won any races, but I always won weightlifting contests! I took the wins where I could and learned to live with what life had given me.

The longest they’ve stayed awake?

The longest I’ve stayed awake that I can fully remember was for about two weeks. Turns out with a ring of sustenance you can push yourself wayyyyy beyond what you normally can. It was a trying time as I was working on a cure for a disease that was afflicting some important people in my life. It didn’t work out…

Something others do that gets on their nerves.

Going back on your word. I may not be the most morally righteous person out there (hell I work in a bar in the dock districts. Murder happens outside at least once or twice a month,) but once you make a deal that’s it and that’s how it goes. If you lie or say something didn’t happen when it did, you are dead to me. This obsession on the surface with “get it in writing” for every little thing is a bit strange to me. If two people agree to something, then they both know what it is and to accomplish it. Just go with it. Once things are done, then you can fight about whatever you wish to fight about.

What does the crew do to celebrate a birthday? Or like, is there something different depending on the type of celebration?

Alex - “Each birthday is celebrated a bit differently, mostly because each person has different tastes.  Canda’s the most influential person during birthdays cause he’s in charge of food.”

Canda - “Captain’s right!  I make sure each ‘birthday cake’ fits the person’s ‘taste’.  For example, I make cat themed cakes for Elias but just cook a large portion of fired apples for Captain Alex.”

Alex - “Mmm~ fried apples.”

Rin - “They tend to be large celebrations with a warm atmosphere, I even play different music styles for each person we are celebrating for!  The only one that changes is Captain’s; she dances along to the music I play.”

Elias - “One of the few times I’ve seen her relax and drink responsibly.”

Alex - “Oi!”

Eyvindr - “But that doesn’t mean our other celebrations pale in comparison.  We find different things to celebrate for, like new crew members and a successful experiment; we even threw that one party when we were escaping a Marine base!”

Rin - “Don’t you mean… after you escaped?”

Eyvindr, Alex, and Elias just laugh in response.

Alex - “Those Marines were actually pretty fun!  Kind of wish we kept in touch.”

What is the worst thing Rin has ever done for cookies? Also, what would happen if someone took her violin away from her?

Alex - “Oh dear… This is better left for Elias.”

Elias - “That kid will be the death of me, I swear. Sigh… She-”

Eyvindr - “She killed a man!”

Rin - “Lies! … it was a toad named Bob.”

Elias - “Both of you, shut it. Rin never killed a living soul over cookies, but she did commit arson for some snicker doodles.”

Rin - “Oh yeah! There were these two warring gangs on one of the islands in the Grand-line and the member of one of them said they would give me some cookies if I stopped the peace meeting between them. So I burned down the meeting place!”

Alex - “IS THAT WHY ARSON HAS BEEN ADDED TO MY WANTED POSTER?!”

Rin cackles in the background, running from Alex who wields her chakram while Eyvindr laughs at the scene.

Elias - “For the violin… just ask the last pirate who stole it, I heard he’s been moved from the hospital to a psych ward. Now excuse me while I calm the murderous one from harming my adopted daughter.”

Elias walks away, his voice drifting away, “Captain, put down that broken bottle! Rin, get down from the mast… again!”

I'll have one of whatever will be the most painful please and thank you. Also, your kitchen may be on fire. *whistles innocently*

Typhon stops polishing a glass and looks at you. “The most painful? My understanding was that alcohol was to forget pain, not cause it, unless you wish for an immediate hangover? The best I can do right now is 10 minutes until a splitting headache, but if you prefer something faster, hitting yourself with a barstool could speed up the process. Maybe one of the other patrons would be willing to assist you?” Mixing together a vial or two from his bandolier and a couple bottles from the shelf behind him, Typhon sets out a bronze tankard in front of you. 

“That’ll be 5 copper, and to my knowledge we don’t have a kitchen. Unless you set the cellar on fire, but if that were true that means you can set water on fire… You’re not a wizard, are you?”

Day 5!

this is day 5 right? Not sure. Been up too long. Anyway, i’ve done some drawing today, mostly little things for my other blog. ((check it out if you like one piece oc’s btw @ask-marine-mitsu )) I’m trying to do as many drawn responses there as I can, just to really get in some practice. I drew a dude today. It went... not so great. And i am giving up on hands for the time being and focusing on mouths and ducks. No i did not misspell that. My character has a rubber duck, and I wanna draw them well. Duck’s for life! Anyway, it’s mostly just doodling today, nothing too interesting.
