As soon as the gangplank was lowered onto the docks, Shura had wasted no time in walking down it. The remarkably tall woman stepped onto the docks with a yawn as she stretched herself, having only awoken a short time ago. It was already past noon, but Shura never really cared for how long she slept in. As far as she was concerned, she was intent only on doing whatever she felt like doing.
As it so happened, the Broken Chopsticks or whatever the crew called themselves had decided that the responsibility of buying supplies fell upon Sela's shoulders, which meant Shura was free to do whatever she felt like doing. Which, of course, meant that there was no way she was going to stick around the ship longer than she had to. She was eager to get her hands on some of the good stuff - booze, and tons of it.
Cracking her neck, Shura took a few minutes to properly wake her body up. Sitting around all day and sleeping may have been fun, but it also meant that her body felt asleep. Of course, she wasn't exactly expecting a fight, but at the same time... Well, she'd been in enough bars to know how things usually turned out.
"If anyone needs me, I'm hitting up the bar," she remarked aloud, knowing her 'crewmates' would hear. She didn't really care much if they did need her, but they'd proven themselves to be entertaining, if nothing else. If any of them actually cared to join her, maybe she'd humor them.

315 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi sighed quietly as they came into dock. She was excited to explore somewhere new there was no doubt about that, but with not wanting to draw too much attention so early in their sailing, everytime they came to docks, Yumi had to pull down their jolly roger. It was useful on the high seas, keeping certain ships away from them, but here in the towns and cities it just drew too much attention. Before she knew it, a soft "clunk" below signaled that the gangplank was lowered and Sela and Shura were about to head onto land. Jolly roger down, she decided to accompany them, unwrapping her special little rope and sliding down to the deck, rushing off to the docks after a few quick glances around the ship assured her they were properly docked. "All safe and tucked away."
Heading along the gangplank she gave quick glances to her crew. Sela seemed to be heading off to the stores along the shore and with good reason. They needed more food and maps, and Sela was the only one trusted with those duties. Shura however quickly proclaimed she was, in Yumi's ear, going to waste her share on a piss up of costly proportions.
"OI!"
The red headed captain quickly rushed over beside her giant of a crew mate, crossing her arms as she kept up with her, still walking towards the tavern, "Not a chance I'm letting you waste money again." She began confident, thinking she could nip the booze issue in the bud. Afterall if Shura never got any she couldnt be mad when Sela suggested she have it taken away. Reaching the Tavern quickly, she rested beside the door. "I'm sticking with you so you don't drink too much this time."  CODED BY SYLVIE |

Shura glanced back out of the corner of her eye as the red-headed Captain suddenly called out to her. Shura didn't stop walking along, but the Captain ran after her, quickly catching up as Shura walked up the docks. Shura couldn't help but chuckle as the Captain told her she wasn't going to waste their money again. As if she actually had any chance of stopping the part-giant woman from doing whatever she liked.
"Go ahead and try it," Shura spoke, bemused. She continued to walk along with the red-head following along beside her. The tall woman kept her arms folded as she walked into the town, navigating her way through the streets as she headed for the nearest bar. Rather fortunately, she didn't need to search for too long - only a few minutes after entering the town, Shura found herself standing outside a tavern. Smirking, she attempted to step inside, only for Yumi to step in front.
The Captain was quick to inform her that she would be regulating Shura's drinking. The dark-haired woman couldn't help but chuckle. Did she really think she could convince Shura not to drink as much as she liked? Let alone stop her? It was an amusing joke, but there was no way she was going to stop Shura from drinking as much as she liked. Pressing her hand against the door to the tavern, she pushed it open as she looked towards Yumi.
"Whatever you say, 'Cap'n'," she told her, smirking as she stepped inside. She crouched slightly through the door as she entered, where her presence automatically caught the attention of a few. Ignoring the stares she usually got for her large height of seven feet, Shura immediately approached the counter and sat herself in a stool. "Bring me rum, and lots of it. Red here is paying".
She jerked a thumb in the direction of Yumi as the barman nodded. Well, it would be fun to see if Yumi could actually do anything.

286 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi growled quietly as Shura confidently just walked into the bar past her, following her in nonetheless. It seemed that no matter what she had to say, or do, Shura was going to be drinking to her hearts content. She eyed around the bar as she entered behind, spotting the eyes locked on her taller friend, and also several eyes that were locked on her. By now, with how she dressed, these weren't much of a surprise either, and so she just ignored them, walking towards her "friend" at the bar and taking a seat beside her.
"Oh come on, ya gotta admit, we can't keep spending money on rum when we hardly make any in the first place. We're running on funds from selling all the ships furnishings." She groaned, leaning back on the bar. That was the truth afterall, the crew, being made of somewhat pleasant people, hadn't exactly been plundering other ships for loot recently. In fact they only had the stolen ship to prove they were pirates at all. "If you wanna spend money you can at least come up with some ways to make some. I-"
Whatever she was saying was interupted by Shura's much more imposing voice. Yumi's shoulders fell in defeat as she heard she'd be paying for this nights drinking...ah well, if she was gonna be dragged into this she may as well see what the fuss was about. She'd never really tried booze, so she didn't know what to think of it. "Bring 2 glasses." She called out, not really caring to turn in her seat. CODED BY SYLVIE |

Shura listened as Yumi began to ramble on about making money and how they'd had to spend the past while selling off the furnishings of their ship to pay for money. The part-giant woman couldn't help but roll her eyes at that. They truly were a miserable lot, making all these demands of her. Were they not useful for getting across the ocean, Shura might have considered shutting them up the hard way. Still, they did provide some amusement.
"What kind of pirate sells furniture to make a living?" Shura asked her crewmate, her brow raised slightly. She certainly didn't sound like a pirate. "Loot people. Take what they have and sink their ship. Hell, if it makes you feel better, we could restrain ourselves to stealing from noblemen - or would you rather steal from another Pirate?"
Shura wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty and loot people. She'd already done plenty of it back in Goa Kingdom, when she'd lived in the Gray Terminal. For a long time she'd lived by raiding merchants and noblemen going in and out of Goa Kingdom, stealing their money and food and hiding away amongst the trash. She'd attracted a lot of attention from Marines that way, but she didn't care. They could complain about their loot when they lived in a mountain of trash.
It seemed however that Yumi had decided to get a drink for herself. She'd claimed to have come to make sure Shura didn't spend too much, but it seemed she was ready to knock back a few drinks herself. The tall woman wondered if she'd ever even drunk anything before. Regardless, they soon had their drinks brought to them in large pint glasses. Taking a firm grip of her glass Shura raised hers.
"Cheers".

285 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi rolled her eyes as Shura spoke about looting and so on. Yumi just wanted to travel, not be one of those evil pirates of the seven seas...but then Shura kept speaking, and Yumi couldn't help but listen. She wondered if it would really be so bad, stealing from other ships. They had a powerful one themselves and she was sure if they had a real look they'd find plenty of gunpowder and cannonballs to use in the act.
"I suppose stealing from stuck up nobles wouldn't be so bad..." She turned in her seat, picking up her glass as it arrived, swilling the golden liquid in it's container as she thought for a moment or two longer. "Pirates either...no sinking ships unless they fire first though. Besides, we find the right noble ship we can hold the people on board for ransom!" She tried to make it sound like it was a joke, but a part of her didn't entirely hate the idea either, just the bounty that would come with it.
"Cheers!"
Clinking the rim of her glass against the giants, Yumi brought it to her lips, hesitating for a moment, having heard that alcohol can be an acquired taste. "Bottoms up..." With those last words, she brought it up, letting the golden liquor flow into her mouth, quickly swallowing what could only be described as a generous moutful, quickly slamming the mug down on the bar and covering her mouth as it went down, her mouth hanging open as the taste lingered on her tongue. "J-jesus! You drink this stuff!?" CODED BY SYLVIE |

It seemed she was warming up to the idea, at least. She would have to eventually, after all - did she plan on doing odd jobs for the rest of her life? They were pirates. They stole a ship. As far as Shura was concerned, they were going to have to live like pirates. At the very least, that was how Shura intended to live her life - she'd spent all her life putting up with crap from the World Government. She'd be damned if she was going to aid them in any way.
As their glasses clinked Shura raised the pint glass to her lips and downed the alcohol, gulping down mouthfuls of the liquid. Setting the glass back down in front of her she let out a satisfied sigh and wiped her lips. Next to her she could heard Yumi gulp down her own drink. Looking out of the corner of her eye, the dark-haired woman smirked as Yumi let her jaw hang down, apparently unused to the taste. Just as Shura expected.
"All the time," she answered the red-head's question, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Thinking about it, the tall woman couldn't help but chuckle. She kept her gaze fixed upon the red-head as she turned slightly towards her. "What's wrong? Is it too much for you to handle?"
It'd be fun to see the newbie drink herself into a stupor. She probably wasn't able to handle her drink, considering how she seemed so surprised by the taste of it. It'd be fun to see if she could goad Yumi into drinking down pints of it. She'd probably get questioned by the Navigator as to why Yumi had a hangover by the time she got back to the ship, but what did Shura care? it'd be fun regardless to hold it over Yumi's head that, if she drank a lot of rum, it was her fault for 'wasting money' too.
Oh, this idea was so much fun.

165 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Too much to handle? As if. She wasn't about to let Shura laugh at her for not being able to handle some rum, the staple of the pirate life...or at least the stereotypical pirate life. "Oh trust me, if I can handle a rifle I can handle a drink!" She looked nervously at the fluid in her glass, wondering if it would taste as bad the second time but drinking it nonetheless. Surprisingly it didn't taste as bad now that she knew what she was getting, smiling as she took in the taste.
"Hmm. I suppose it ain't too bad..." She took another swig before putting the pint down, now empty and feeling just ever so foggy in her head, wondering why people enjoyed this stuff so much. "I guess someone like you can handle it but...is my head meant to feel weird?" CODED BY SYLVIE |

Shura smirked in amusement as Yumi proclaimed that she was capable of handling a drink. It definitely seemed that Shura was able to strike a nerve there, as now the young woman was quick to prove herself to Shura. The tall woman watched as Yumi downed the rest of her pint after bracing herself for the taste, leaving the glass empty by the time she set it down.
Shura took her own drink and began to down it with remarkable speed, gulping down mouthfuls at an alarming pace. Of course, anyone who actually knew Shura knew full well that she was used to drinking rum by the barrel. Having a giant's constitution along with a lot of experience, it took an incredible amount of alcohol for anyone to even come close to drinking her under the table. Shura quickly emptied her glass, setting it down just as Yumi began to ask her again about the rum.
"'Course. You're head's supposed to feel weird," she remarked, bemused. Only one pint and the girl was already tipsy, it seemed. Just as Shura thought, she was definitely a lightweight. It would not take a lot for the girl to get completely wasted, she knew. Smirking, Shura looked back towards the bartender, tapping the counter just loudly enough to get his attention.
"Oi, another round over here!" she called out. Nodding, the bartender immediately set about getting the two women another pair of pint glasses. In just less than half a minute he returned, setting the two glasses down in front of the girls. Grabbing her own glass, Shura immediately began to drink again. After a few gulps she set her pint glass down and looked back towards the red-head.
"Well? Enjoying yourself?"

269 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Well at least she wasn't coming down with anything, still, holding her head a little she had to wonder why this feeling was so good and why so many people wanted to get drunk if this is what it entailed. Maybe it was like the taste...it took another try to get used to it?
By the fact Shura was asking for another round, that seemed to be the case. Soon another full pint glass was presented to her and she turned to face the bar, laying her chin against the wooden surface and wondering if she should really take it...she'd given it a try right? But was it a real try? Could she truly say she could "handle it" yet? These questions and more would be left unanswered as she just found herself lifting the glass to her lips and taking a few generous mouthfuls. She was getting more used to the taste so that was a plus, but the feeling in her head only intensified.
Even she began to think she might be a lightweight.
"Heh, you could say that...I don't think I'll take it up as a hobby though." She brought the glass to her lips, taking another sip, an odd question popping into her head. "Hey, why do YOU like booze anyhow? I've seen you drink barrels of the stuff and not get drunk...." Stares at her drink, seeming a bit dazed in her thoughts. "That's why people drink right...to get drunk?" CODED BY SYLVIE |

Shura chuckled in amusement as she listened to Yumi talk about the alcohol she'd ingested while sipping on her own glass. She really didn't know what she was going to miss out on if she was already deciding not to drink it again. Oh well - in the end, it just meant more booze for herself. As she downed more of her own glass however Yumi began to ask her about her own drinking habits, wondering why Shura even bothered. The tall woman chuckled again.
"Of course I get drunk," she answered as she set down her glass. It was difficult, of course, to imagine a woman who regularly downed barrels of rum getting drunk, but it wasn't impossible. "It's just that I'm not a lightweight. 'Sides, I have giant genes. Takes a lot more drink to get me under the table anyway".
It occurred to Shura that she was probably coming across as a lot more... talkative. Not that Shura hated talking, but she was also aware she wasn't the most social person. It wasn't because of the alcohol, she knew. She couldn't exactly pinpoint it, but for some reason she felt like talking. She figured she must have been getting bored.
"There's levels of drunk, anyway. You get tipsy, but then you start to get a buzz. Speaking of," Shura remarked as she turned towards the bartender. Downing the rest of her glass quickly, Shura pressed it down in front of her and spoke. "Get me the strongest drink you've got! It'll take all night before I get a buzz from this weak crap".
The bartender nodded and began to reach behind the counter for another bottle. The part-giant waited a few moments before the bartender arrived with another glass, setting it down in front of her. Grasping it, Shura took a quick sip before giving a satisfied smirk.
"That's more like it".

288 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" A tipsy chuckle escaped the girl's lips as her query was answered, another mouthful of rum going down the hatch and a second set of chuckles following soon after. Though she wouldn't realize it, the booze really was getting to her, fast. Boy was she a lightweight. Still she retained enough sense to find it odd that the giant genes in Shura seemed to be her excuse for not being drunk. What was she? Seven foot? She musn't have been more than an eighth giant since those guys could be...well...GIANTS! Some of them could walk through water and didn't even need ships! It was ridiculous! The point lingering in her head though was giants needed tons of rum due to their size, so was their something else that made them nearly immune to alcohol...?
Eh, a question for a less drunk day. As Shura was served her supposedly stronger drink, Yumi got a replacement for her now empty mug, she wondered for a moment if she should actually drink anymore, but a large part of her just said "fuck it" and grabbed the mug, turning it practically upside down as she drank mouthful after mouthful, the liquid dissapearing in a single chug, slamming the mug down. "ANOTH-BURRRP!"
Yumi quickly clasped her hands around her mouth, an embaressed blush on her cheeks as the burrp had escaped her lips, glancing over to Shura, slowly dropping her hands with a nervous chuckle. "Welp! That wasn't ladylike!" Yumi just snickered at herself, giggling like a literal idiot as she was feeling what she could only assume was "The buzz". CODED BY SYLVIE |

As Shura drank from her glass she couldn't help but almost spit it all back up as the red-head let out an incredibly loud belch. Setting the glass down she was forced to cover her lips with her own hand as she laughed. She knew exactly what was happening to the young woman right now and she found it hilarious. After taking a moment to recover, Shura still sported a large grin on her face.
"Now I'm beginning to think I should take you drinking more often," she remarked as she began to down her own drink. She emptied half of the glass before setting it down again, letting out a satisfied sigh. Whatever was in the drink definitely had a strong kick to it - she was just now beginning to feel a tiny bit tipsy. She'd probably need another drink or two before she began feeling a buzz.
Shura wasn't sure of the last time she'd spent her day at the bar like this. Every other time she'd drank anything it had always been alone. The only times she ever spoke to others in a bar were when she ordered her drinks and when other guys in the bar came up to her and started flirting. It was always fun to lead them on before dashing their expectations. Perhaps the only other time she'd speak with people was when she'd already had a few drinks and felt like challenging people around her to contests - usually drinking contests, though the occasional brawl was certainly not unheard of. But this time she was spending with Yumi right now was... Different.
She was actually enjoying her company, as reluctant as she was to admit it.
"Don't worry about looking un-ladylike. After all," she began just as she picked up her glass. Raising it to her lips Shura began to down more of the glass until she'd almost emptied it. Once she was done she placed the glass back down and turned to Yumi. Without a word of warning she let out a belch like a lion's roar right in Yumi's face, all with a grin on her face. "A bar's not a place to feel embarrassed".

422 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi giggled with Shura as the two laughed about her burp. Never before, even with her reputation as island tomboy back home, has she imagined that she would be able to make a noise like that and be so rude, yet at the same time it sent a pleasant feeling through her just to do something silly and outrageous, even if it wasn't something she planned on. Her drink getting refilled, she watched Shura down some more of her stronger drink, thinking on her words about not needing to be ladylike...
It was at this moment the captain seemed to just admire her first mate for a moment, not in a longing way, but just appreciate her crew member for a moment. For a while now she'd seen Shura as just being the drunk muscle but she was actually a very good part of their little crew, and with the new buzz running through her, Yumi couldn't really blame her now for getting drunk. She almost had something of respect. Then she got a lion's belch right in the face, snickering like an idiot once more.
"JESUS SHURA! Hee hee! Remind me to grab you a toothbrush for your quarters! That was rank!" She giggled some more, her head resting down on the bar as she seemed to calm into a long, elated sigh, the buzz running through her as a new drink was placed before her, winking at the barman as thanks for expecting her next order. "Ugh...ya know I appreciate the thought...thinking to bring me out more but, I dunno, this place ain't...HIC...for me." Her eyes dazily glanced at the beer, lifting it up to her lips and just taking a sip before sitting up right again.
"I mean...I bet you, three, count 'em, THREE!" She held up that many fingers to make sure she counted. "Men, are looking at my ass on this stool. Go on, count 'em, I won't mind." She smiled, seeming to become the over flamboyant drunk as her hands moved with every word she spoke, as if trying to emphasize the importance of her drunken words. "Am I interested in any of them? Not a chance, but everytime I enter a bar, there they are, guys looking at the pretty HIC red head entering the bar...."
She slumped back down again, spinning the drink in her glass. "It gets borin..." CODED BY SYLVIE |

Shura snickered at Yumi's reaction, finding her new behavior amusing. She was definitely a lot more fun drunk, she began to think as she downed the rest of her glass. Shura only needed to pass a glance towards the bartender before he began to walk away and fetch another drink for her. She was making it clear as day she wasn't going to stop drinking soon.
But then, the young red-head seemed to be turning slightly more melancholic. Turning her gaze back to her captain, she watched as Yumi seemed to slump down on the counter. Raising a brow, Shura listened to the girl ramble as she talked about how she felt the bar wasn't exactly the right place for her. She began rambling on about the men in the bar looking at her and how they were probably checking her out. Shura rolled her eyes.
"Fuck 'em," Shura remarked as she grabbed her new glass and downed another few mouthfuls of drink. "Men always act like pervs with a little drink in 'em. They start staring? Get out your gun and set the record straight. That's what I'd do".
Shura took another few gulps of her drink. She'd dealt with more than a few perverts in bars in her time. You could find them just about everywhere you went. But after dealing with so many, Shura had built up something of a reputation amongst bars all across the East Blue. People generally did say things when you took down an entire bar full of people single-handedly, after all. That usually kept people at bay.
As Shura set her glass down, she began to feel herself smiling. She didn't care to stop herself, but she began to feel just the tiniest bit giddy. The buzz was beginning to kick in. Whatever she'd ordered, it was strong stuff. Glancing over to the red-head, the tall woman couldn't help let her eyes briefly run up her form. She'd just insulted the perverts a moment before, but she couldn't help but admit that Yumi wan't half-bad to look at. Turning her gaze forwards again, she shook her head.
"'Sides. The whole point of drinking is to stop caring what other people think".
