Ah, the Baratie. A cesspool of filth. That was not what Rose was thinking as she leaned back in her chair, sighing softly. She currently had a heavy duster on, along with her normal black cowboy's hat and a thick red scarf coiled tightly around her mouth. The purpose of the 'disguise' was to cover as much of her body as possible to keep anyone from recognizing her. After all, what she planned to do would probably get her thrown in the brig and left to rot if she were caught. When the waiter stopped by her table, she simply asked for a glass of water as she hadn't decided on what to order yet. In truth, she didn't plan to get anything- after all, that would be a waste of money. Everything here was outrageously overpriced...honestly, she was a little surprised that they didn't charge for just the water. Actually, they probably did and she just hadn't looked at the menu hard enough.
Thankfully she didn't have to wait long for her target to show up, otherwise the waiter probably would have started to pester her to leave. A well dressed young man stomped into the restaurant with a woman on either arm, both far out of his league as far as appearances went. The staff immediately sprung into action and set up a table in the center of the restaurant just for the newcomer and his 'guests'. The boy, who looked about sixteen, grunted and demanded that the waiters be more prompt next time. Rose rose to her feet and reached underneath her cloak, wrapping her hands around the hilts of the revolvers holstered on either side of her waist. She moved beside the boy, drawing nervous glances from the staff and a smirk from the boy, "What are you? My entertainment?"
Rose simply smiled for a moment before swiftly kicking the boy out of the chair, knocking him onto the ground. She unholstered a revolver and cracked it open, slowly sliding a single bullet into the chamber with her free hand, "I only have one question for you. Do you know a girl named Violet Ocelot?" The boy looked shocked for a moment before placing a hand on his injured cheek, glaring daggers at the woman standing over him, "W-Who the hell do you think you are? Do you know who I am?!" Rose let her eyes drift over the boy before reaching back to pull out her other two revolvers, holding two in her right hand and one in the left, "Let's play a game. There's only one bullet in these three guns. I'm going to pull the triggers six times...or until you answer my question. Whichever comes first." She started to deftly juggle the three revolvers, tossing each a few feet into the air before catching it and throwing it back up. It wasn't long before she snatched one out of the air and pointed it directly at the boy and pulled the trigger. Chink. He recoiled in fear, eyes widening as she grabbed another and took aim. Chink.
The head chef came out from the back of the restaurant to see what the commotion was, and on seeing the guns, yelled at the staff currently on the floor, "Idiots, stop her! Do you have any idea what'll happen if that kid gets hurt?!" The waiters took a step towards Rose but wavered, not wanting to get close to a well armed madwoman, even if she did just claim the guns were (mostly) unloaded. Rose grabbed two revolvers at once and pulled both triggers at the same time before throwing them back up into the air. Chink Chink. By this point, the boy was crying profusely, snot running down his chin as he sobbed, "Daddy! D-Daddy!" Chink. The next gun to drop into Rose's hand caused it to dip ever so slightly- it had a tiiiiny bit more weight than the other two. She tossed it high into the air, almost touching the ceiling as she caught the other two guns in her left hand, snagging one barrel between her middle and ring fingers while catching the second between her ring and pointer. Her hand reached up, looking to snatch the loaded gun out of the air...

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Low on loot once again the Broken Chopsticks crew had discussed what they would be doing to afford their next supply pick up. They had hardly enough for a bag of apples, let alone the box full Yumi so liked to nibble at. Many suggestions would fly from the crew. As always Shura, with her amazing abilities the rest of them had yet to comprehend, believed they should take on another ship. It was nothing new, they'd done it in the past. The issue was that with the ship needing repairs after their last few spouts, and the fact that, as they edged closer to the entrance of the grandline, it became near impossible to find a pirate crew that couldn't match them, even with a powerhouse like Shura, much to the giants displeasure.
Markus may suggest they return home and he take food from their families stores, but not only did Yumi not wish to pressure his family, she knew the stores they had weren't enough for the trip backwards past the last few islands. Yumi herself had an idea, although it was one that irritated her greatly. She had a great hatred for bullies of any kind, and this would put her close to some of the worst.
---------
"So, Miss Tasukai. You will be serving tables 1 through 10 this evening. I KNOW you are not trained for this thing but do try to remain couth, out customers require a certain standard of waitress."
Feeling utterly humiliated, Yumi took orders from the bald man in a suit as she held a tray by her side, dressed in a little black number with a white apron and headress, practically made for the part of serving this rude and crude nobels who deserved to have the food she'd let them eat thrown at them. With only quiet nods and a forced smile, she was allowed to move onto the task at hand. Of course the rest of the crew had odd jobs to handle before they'd meet back up again and pool their earnings, but each had their own hidden agenda. Afterall, who had more to pickpocket then nobels? It was made all the more easier when they were distracted by the girl serving them too. With every 2 trays layed, a pocket was picked, and Yumi could almost taste the meal she'd be having once all this was over, finely prepared by markus and ready to be devoured...Yum...~
CLICK CLICK CLICK
Yumi blinked, looking up like most of the resteraunt as the sounds came out along with the frightened cries of a boy. What on earth was going on...a girl juggling guns? She was unsure entirely what this was all about, but one thing she knew for sure was it wasn't good. She rushed over to a waiter, ripping off her apron and handing him her tray, apron, and headdress. "Hold onto this handsome." Leaving the waiter shocked and disgusted, she ran towards the cowgirl, keeping her eyes on the guns just as she caught the two.
Click Click...
Cursing herself for having to run in heels her eyes locked with precise vision on the single pistol thrown into the air. She knew that if something was gonna happen, this was the gun it would happen with. It was too showy not to be. With a hand outstretched, she grabbed it from the air, coming to a halt beside the woman tossing the pistol, aiming the barrel quickly and firing. BANG! A real live bullet. It shot out, the tiny shot almost killing several nobles as it skimmed past their faces and into a wall. Yumi seemed calm, but she was quick to force a smile, handing the now empty gun back to the odd cowgirl and grabbing her shoulders.
"We are SO sorry to have disturbed you sir!" She chuckled, trying to keep it as lighthearted as possible, using the black dress she now wore to her advantage. "We were hired for table 42 but it seems my companion here got the wrong idea." She turned her head to the cowgirl. "I told you, if they look confused and scared. It isn't them. And NEVER start without me." Without another word and several, if not tens of confused looks, she tried to push the girl out of the crowd, whispering harshly. "Killing a noble in front of that crowd are you CRAZY!?"  CODED BY SYLVIE |

It all happened quite suddenly. Another girl appeared and snatched the gun from the air. Then she had the audacity to pull the trigger in front of Rose's face. She jolted in surprise and wrinkled her nose, eyes watering a little from the sharp scent of gunpowder. Of all the things she expected to happen, getting a facefull of muzzle flare wasn't one of them. The ringing in her ears hadn't even died down when the newcomer suddenly dragged her away from her query, but what was happening was clear enough. She was trying to keep the situation under control, which suited Rose just as well. After all, she hadn't really planned out what would happen even if the boy did have the information she was looking for. So she followed the girl willingly, pouting a little bit, "I wasn't really gonna shoot him. I was just having a bit of fun is all..." Stupid fun, but fun nonetheless. Rose liked showing off her gun skills, even if there was a very high chance that the trick would end up getting her arrested or worse. Still... once they finally made it past the ground, Rose finally holstered her guns, although she kept her eyes on the girl the entire time, "But, you're pretty good. To realize that it was loaded and to catch it like that." |

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Oh yeah, I know how to handle a gun."
Away from the crowds now, in an entirely different room in fact, she pulled back the cut in the skirt of her dress, revealing the belt's she wore beneath and the flintlocks hanging from them. It was almost surprising they didn't stand out under the dress when she let the fabric fall again. "Look miss, whether you had a plan or not, even pointing a gun at a noble like that can get the marines on your ass in a nanosecond! What on earth possessed you to do that!?"
She sighed nonetheless, letting the girl go and peeping back into the restaraunt as some waiter's helped calm down the noble child. A spoiled brat in Yumi's eyes already. Still, she couldn't stick around and enjoy his tears. Instead, she unzipped the back of her dress, seeming to get changed out of it as she spoke majorly to herself. "Well either way, they think I'm with you now. So I better get moving." Sliding out of her dress, the red head's body would reveal itself peace by peace, with little care on her face for what she was revealing. With the dress off she wore only her black bra and some loose fitting shorts she had managed to slip on beneath her dress. Two belts hung from her waist with flintlocks upon them.
"So." Moving to a nearby cupboard, quickly revealing this to be the staff changing room, she began to pull on her gloves and wrap a satchel around her back, stuffing a flimsy excuse for a shirt in her back pocket, not caring much for it right now. "Did you have a plan to get out of here after your little stunt or am I winging this alone?" She glanced back at the gun lady. The past few weeks on the sea had made Yumi a little more serious in situations like this, but inside she was grinning like mad. A little getaway was another bit of the excitement she had longed for back home. CODED BY SYLVIE |

Rose's eyebrow raised a little when the girl pulled back the skirt. She was confused at first, but understood as soon as she saw the guns. Her only response to the girl's outburst was to offer a little non-committal shrug. "I thought he knew something that I wanted to know. But I guess he didn't..." He had never really gotten around to even attempting to answer her question before turning into a nervous wreck, but she hadn't really believed he knew anything anyway. From what she'd heard, he was only very tangentially related to her current mark. But when Rose finally turned her attention back to the girl, she let out a little squeak as her cheeks flushed, noticing that the girl had just finished stripping down to her underwear. She had no idea what to think...
Thankfully she hadn't managed to say anything, but it soon became clear that the girl was just getting changed. Rose let out a relieved sigh, turning away so that the girl could get dressed in peace. She lifted the revolver that the girl had handed her and twirled it around her finger absentmindedly. It was a gesture that always helped her concentrate on the task at hand. "Sorry about that, by the way. Didn't mean for you to get in trouble." The Ocelot tapped her head with her free hand, making sure that her hat was on right and not letting anything incriminating poke out. "Well, the plan was to just walk back out the front door while they were all still too frazzled by the gunshot to follow. Kinda ruined that, though..."
She flicked her wrist to snap open the cylinder, grabbing a small handful of bullets from the pouch on her side before deftly sliding them into place, closing the cylinder with another flick of her wrist. With the gun loaded she turned her head towards the girl and pulled the scarf down just enough to reveal her mouth so that the girl could see her awkward grin, "Kind of hoping you have a boat, then. I might have stowed away to get here..."

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Oh, great escape plan." She began, checking both her flintlocks were loaded, pulling her shirt out the back pocket of her shorts and finally pushing her arms through the sleeves and tying the bottom in a knot just below her chest. "Sure, while the kid's crying you slip out. I doubt his assistants or the boat he came here on would be too distracted..." She heard that last piece of information, turning and quirking an eyebrow. "And you came to a floating restaurant without a boat to escape?" She couldn't help but chuckle, reaching over and flicking the rim of her cowboy hat. "Come on, I'll get you outta here. I only got a row boat but my crew's cavaler is at best a 5 minute journey with my rowboat."
Twirling the pistols in her fingers she quickly slipped them back into their holsters, pulling out one last item from the changing rooms, he satchel with her custom "lightweight" inside. She couldn't leave that behind, not ever. "Stay close behind and try not too draw too much attention.."
Stepping out, she'd lift her pistol to the ceiling, firing out a shot without hesitation. The bullet hit the ceiling hard and an ear piercing bang echoed throughout the entire resteraunt, sending everyone into a panic once more as they ducked down and covered there ears, the once serious red head suddenly ecstatic, rushing through the ducking nobles. "Starting now! Run for it before they grow a pair!" CODED BY SYLVIE |

Rose continued spinning the gun for a bit before finally catching it by the barrel and gesturing towards the other girl with it, "Well, thank you! And... I didn't come here with one, but I did expect to lea-" She was cut off when the other girl flicked her hat, immediately sending her hands to her head to push it back down all the way with annoyed murmur. With that back in place, she twirled the revolver one last time to flip it around so that her hand was firmly on the grip. She mostly just stood around while the red-head prepared for what was about to happen next, but when she was finally ready she moved behind the girl to follow. But when she fired into the air and sprinted off, Rose huffed loudly and began to chase after her, "H-Hey! This was just my plan! No originality at all..."

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Oh who needs originality when you got dual flintlocks?!" She giggled her way across the restaurant, bounding over tables and even jumping off the back of a noble ducking for cover. All the while making haste for the exit as the diners slowly began to lift themselves up. "Besides I never said it was a bad idea, I work with what I got, sue me!" Living in the moment as best she could the red head rushed for the exit with a pistol on hand and bags of gold jingling away in the pockets of her baggy shorts. Just as they seemed to be getting close however, the doors smashed open, the diners all hurrying away from the commotion as several men in black suits entered, carrying swords and guns.
"Okay...remember what I said about that kid you picked on having a boat? These MAY be the crew." Yumi backed away slowly as what must have been 4 men stepped in, her flintlocks loaded and ready to go, glancing to her partner. "And odds are they have far more experience than a girl who's captained a ship for a month and another who juggles her guns....Which I must admit WAS a cool trick." CODED BY SYLVIE |

She clicked her tongue at the girl's comment, "Pistols are old hat. Revolvers are the perfect firearm!" Instead of making a straight line for the exit like the girl was doing, Rose kept low to the ground and weaved between patrons and tables alike to keep anyone from drawing a bead on her in the event that someone in this place was armed and had their wits about them. As such, she was already prepared when the men stormed into the room. "You're a Captain...?" She leveled the revolver with her chest, resting her free hand against the gun's hammer. Once she had a clear shot she pulled the trigger rapidly, using her hand to slam the hammer down to let her fire faster than normal. Bang Bang. The two men on the left collapsed as their kneecaps were blown out. She shifted her aim slightly to the right and squeezed off another few rounds. Bang Bang...Bang
After the first shot the man on the far right moved to the side in an attempt to evade her bullet- and succeeded. The first time, anyway. The second met it's intended target, sending the man to the ground. Rose moved her hand back to her side and cocked the hammer with her thumb this time, holding the gun close to her chest as she hopped over the injured men who were in the middle of writhing in pain. Hopefully there weren't any more, because she was down to her last bullet...

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi was ready to fire, aimed for the hips and knees as ever, but just as she was about to pull the first trigger the girl beside her shooted instead. The red headed captain watched curiously, the girl could show off with gun juggling, but could she shoot...? It turned out there was an instant yes in response to that, as in moments, despite a minor miss, the knees of every man heading for them was blown through, forcing them down to the floor, disabled and in agonising pain. This girl really did have a good eye., and even better, good reflexes, like every shot was second nature...
"Come on! Move!" She didn't have time to give praise. Jumping over the bodies and rushing out, she pulled her satchel around her body, unzipping it and pulling out the parts as she ran, slowly piecing together her construcable rifle, the light weight. Now on the wooden platform surrounding the floating restaurant, she quickly spotted not only her own ship, but one she deemed large enough to be that of the crying noble child, turning as she ran and tossing the gun girl the lightweight. "You got a good eye? Shoot the ropes that keep their sail up! Ya got two shots!" Stopping just before her own boat, she stayed and watched, wondering if this girl could pull off the same shot she did to steal her current vessel. CODED BY SYLVIE |

Soon after she'd hopped through the exit, she heard the rustling beside her. She glanced at her partner to see the other girl hastily constructing a folding rifle. An eyebrow raised curiously before the girl tossed her the rifle, which she grabbed with her free hand, twirling the revolver a few times before sliding it back into the holster at her side. She moved the gun from side to side, giving it a quick inspection. It didn't seem to be a bad weapon, but she didn't like using weapons that she hadn't claimed as her own. When the other girl stopped, Rose stopped beside her and dropped down onto one knee, taking aim...Bang. The shot flew true and severed the rope on the left. She swiveled to the side and aimed at the second rope...Bang. Rose didn't bother waiting a moment longer. She handed the rifle back to the girl and jumped onto the boat that she'd stopped beside, turning back to face her, "What're you waiting around for? Let's go!"

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" In moments shots rung out and Yumi had her rifle tossed back to her, alarmed by the speed Rose rushed past her and how fast she took the shots. Just to make sure all was good, she used her own keen eyes down the scope of her rifle, eyeing the ropes that kept the sail in place. Both were definately shot, if anyone so much as even dared to unfurl them, they'd fall on the deck below and cover the crew.
"Wow...she's good..." Flipping her rifle in he hand to carry it over her shoulder, she slinked her satchel back over the other, rushing over towards the boat, past Rose and up the gangplank, heading straight for the ropes that held the sails in place. "Don't know if you've ran a ship before, and I don't care. Start untying everything done with this knot." She lifted up the rope in her hand before undoing it herself, the sails slowly falling down and the red head rushing for the wheel, spinning the wheel hard to assure they'd be heading straight for the open sea and nowhere else. Once they started off, she looked back, pulling out her spyglass curious to see the fruit of Rose's shots as the ship that was attempting to give chase had it's sale fall upon the crew.

She did her best to memorize the knot that the other girl showed her, but it was lost on her. As good as she was with her hands, her head wasn't quite there yet. Still, she picked knots at random and started pulling apart ones that looked like each other, hoping that she picked the right ones. Once they started to leave the dock without incident, she guessed that she'd been lucky. Of course, she usually was.
Rose drew her revolver and gave it a little twirl in her hand. It had one bullet left, but she didn't feel like taking it out. On the other hand, it was dangerous to just leave a firearm loaded if you didn't plan to use it. She grabbed the gun and quickly spun the cylinder with the palm of her free hand, tapping the trigger to stop it suddenly as she turned and leveled the gun with the head of the other girl, smiling brightly, "Well. Now that we're safe... let's play a game. There's only one bullet left. I'm going to pull the trigger five times, and if I 'win', then the boat is mine. If you win, then I'll grant you one wish. Fair~?"
She didn't wait for the girl to respond before rapidly slamming the trigger. Clickclickclickclickclick. The girl suddenly raised her arm and pulled the trigger one last time, firing the last bullet into the air as her smile widened a bit more. "Guess you win this one." She gave the revolver one last twirl before holstering it, placing her hands behind her head and spinning around to look back over the edge of the boat at the ocean.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" With her hands on the wheel and no one chasing behind them, Yumi felt at ease, pulling the coin bags out of her shorts pocket and swinging them merrily, easily able to tell it would be enough noble money to feed her crew for a good while, and to get herself a few bags of apples for the trip back to the meeting place. With the jingle of coin it would drop down into her large pockets, just as a gun was brought to her face and the rules of the impromptu game were given. "WAIT WHAT!?"
With the sound of 5 clicks a very angry Yumi glared back at her potential killer, pulling out one of her flintlocks, not even seeming to aim it but just wave it with her hands to emphasize her frustration. "I'm sorry, WHAT!? I save your ass back there and you give me a 1 in 6 chance of survival!? I-....FFFFF" She gripped at her hair, turning from the wheel and forcing herself to look out over one of the rails so she didn't turn back and shoot this girl in the head. "1 in fucking 6....Okay." Turning back and leaning against the rail behind her, she decided to bank on her part of this odd game. "One wish huh? How's this, you tell me why you picked that noble kid of everyone. There were plenty of nobles, and I saw you when I entered, but not the kid, so clearly you were waiting for him." CODED BY SYLVIE |

Rose simply laughed at the girl's response, "Games aren't much fun unless the odds are stacked against you!" She let her arms drop back down to her sides, letting her hands rest on the railing as she leaned out over the water and listened to the other girl's 'wish'. Rose sighed softly and closed her eyes, letting her head list to the side a little, "What an uninteresting wish. You're boring..." She swiveled to lean back against the railing and face towards the other girl, even though her head was turned to the side. "Nyeh. I don't feel like answering a question like that."
After a moment's hesitation, she decided that she had actually lost fair and square, so she may as well just answer. Rose slipped off her heavy duster and placed it on the railing beside her, revealing her more standard outfit of an unzipped black jacket, showing off the sides of her voluptuous mounds, and white short shorts. Her tail, hanging down behind her knees, flicked itself from side to side to 'stretch out' after having been held in place so long. "I already told you, I was looking for something. That kid's a relative of the one who has what I want. Had hoped to get some information from him, but it seems like he didn't know anything." She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed again.
