Smoker hummed gently at that, ignoring the sarcastic remarks the other gem said. "Don't know. I have a request for a new mechanic on my desk, since apparently we lost the best one we had to the... Pirates," he said, spitting a little at the teen before shaking his head. "So, it requested one immediately. I can always give you the position of janitor, but I figured that wouldn't do well."
"About 25," the gem said, humming lightly as she ran some numbers through her head. "Bag?" She asked and Law nodded softly, listening to her tie the plastic before handing it off to him. He took it and looked over at Ivory, waiting for him to pay.
"Apparently," Zoro said with a soft snort and a shake of his head, leaning back in his chair. "Well, you're lucky I was here," he said with a smirk. "Otherwise you'd be getting... But ah, it's all good. Care for a drink?"

(Duuuude that sounds awesome! What's it called?)
Smoker nodded softly at that, grinning lightly as he tilted his head to the side. "I figured. It's rare other gems are good at that," he said with a chuckle. "It's either join maintenance, or go against my orders to keep you away from the soldiers and have you join them."
The other gem nodded as Law held the bag carefully, watching them as he tilted his head to the side softly. "So, do we want anything? Did we get some more of those coffee beans?"
Zoro nodded softly at that before standing up. "Any requests, then? I'm buying, mind you," he said, grinning down at him.

(Oooooo, that'd be pretty interesting. I've got an to idea that I got from a fabric I absolutely loved reading (Not gonna tell ya the name, though. It was super duper graphic))
Smoker pursed his lips softly at that before shaking his head, sighing. "Well then, it's decided. You're going on maintenance. And I want you in the training room by nine every night, starting tomorrow."
Law nodded in agreement as he started walking, moving slowly enough for Ivory to fall into step beside him. "Well then, let's see if we can find it."
Zoro chuckled at that before nodding and turning, going to the bar top. Something fruity... Fruity... He ordered some very fruity, blue drink and an auburn whiskey for himself. He took the drinks when they were mixed and paid for them before walking back to the table. "Here you are. One weird, fruity drink."

(What...? Grrr! Autocorrect *face palm* My friends play with my phone and if they type something a lot, it remembers it. Like I'll misspell slowly to slowky, and now whenever I type it correctly it changes it to the wrong spelling, lol)
Smoker nodded at that and sat back in his chair, turning himself to face his desk again. "Oh, and you'll have to speak to a Peridot to get your official assignment. Tell her I sent you."
Law looked over at where Ivory pointed before grinning softly. "Ah, perfect!" He said with a nod before turning and walking over to the stall, picking up one of the cans and examining it quickly.
Zoro shook his head lightly as he sat down across from him, taking a long drink of the strong booze. "Not fruity drinks themselves. There's some weird fruit in it. Dragon Fruit, I think. It looked strange," he said with a grin.

(It is, gah)
Smoker watched him walk away before chuckling softly and shaking his head, lifting his coffee up and taking a slow sip. This kid seemed like he was going to be interesting. He'd make sure he didn't get shattered, for sure.
Law nodded softly at that as he read the label and set it back down, looking at a few of the other ones. "Definitely. Do you have one that says, uh... Breakfast Blend?" He asked, looking up at the man with a raised eyebrow.
Zoro snorted softly at that and shook his head, taking another long drink before setting his glass down and leaned forward. "Well, it's weird as hell. I'd doubt it'd of come from such a peaceful planet, if I didn't know it anyway."

There weren't many Peridots around, but one of them walked quickly down the hall to Happy's left, a pair of heeled boots clacking loudly as she walked with a purpose.
Law grinned softly as he took the cylinder, holding it carefully as he looked down at it. "This is perfect. How much do you want for it?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side softly.
"Well, have you seen other fruits from Earth?" Zoro responded with a snort, raising an eyebrow lightly before holding one hand out in a curve. "One of them looks like the ******* moon," he hummed, holding his hand like a crescent moon before lowering it. "If that's not peaceful, then I don't know what is."

The Peridot jerked and turned at the sudden hand on her, glaring down at him with a scowl. "Is that so? Then I recommend you release me immediately," she deadpanned, obviously not amused.
Law nodded at that and took the money out of his wallet, holding it out for him to take as he tucked the cylinder under his arm. "Thats a fantastic deal, thank you!" He said with a grin, looking almost eager.
Zoro paused at that as he took another swallow of his drink, raising an eyebrow. "No, I guess I don't. Must have been asleep when that happened..." he mused, chuckling deeply.

"Smoker?" The Peridot said, raising an eyebrow slowly before nodding softly. "Alright, then. I suppose you'll have to follow me."
Law nodded and mumbled a "You too," to him before starting to walk. "Well, that was successful," he said with a hum before looking over at Ivory. "Do we need anything else?"
Zoro huffed softly at that and rolled his eyes before shrugging. "Hey, I like my naps. You judging me now?" He questioned, the teasing tone filling into his own voice.

Happy nodded in understanding. "Of course. Lead the way," he agreed, stepping back to give her a bit of space.
Ivory thought for a moment, easily keeping up with Law. "No, I can't think of anything," he said after a moment, shrugging and looking down at Law.
"Oh absolutely. Only a mad man would sleep for a thousand years," Val pointed out, but he giggled a bit and gave up his serious face quickly after that.

The Peridot nodded softly before turning on her heel and starting to walk in the direction she had been going in. "I don't understand why Smoker decided to set a one armed gem on maintenance, but you aren't allowed to expect that it's going to be easy on you."
Law nodded at that as he looked away when Ivory looked at him, tapping his fingers on the container of coffee grounds. "Alright. Then I think we should go back to the ship, unless you think we can find a nice place to get some drinks?"
Zoro snorted and laughed deeply, shaking his head as he let his eyes close softly. "Well, I never said I wasn't a mad man," he retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Good," the Peridot said with a nod, pushing open a door and leading the way through another hallway that didn't have very many people in there. "So, you won't be expected of much to start. I doubt you know much about ships, after all, so you'll go through an impromptu training for the first week. Then you'll go into the regular work, so long as you like it. If you don't, Smoker requires all gems to tell him."
Law nodded at that, chuckling lightly to himself. "Yeah, well, I thought that was a given," he replied, grinning a little as he looked up at him. "I was hoping to try some sake again."
Zoro snorted at that, shaking his head and tutting. "The concept of sanity is based of one's own. I'm as sane as you are, but from my perspective," he said, waving a finger in the air before chuckling.

The Peridot raised an eyebrow at that, tilting her head to the side as she looked back at him. "Really?" She asked, sounding totally confused by that. "Thats... strange. I've never heard of someone in maintenance getting training at night. Training only happens before five..."
Law tanned cheeks gained a soft red color and he looked away sharply, huffing gently. "It's all your fault, actually. You're the one that brought the coffee and got me hooked on it. You pushed the stone down the hill."
Zoro snorted at that and grinned widely. "Well, that's because it's an X11ZI paradox," he retorted, saying the name of one of the planets that didn't fit into Homeworld's agenda easily

Peridot shook his head softly and frowned as she kept walking, turning and moving to push open another door. "Well, whatever," she said with a shrug. "Just make sure you report by eight in the morning. Or nine." She said with a shrug, stepping inside the large room filled with a bunch of other gems. "Welcome to Maintenance."
Law huffed softly as he moved to go up on the docks, heeled boots clacking. He always wore heeled boots to at least look a little bit taller compared to Ivory. "I know theres some bars to the north, but they're pretty sketchy..."
Zoro shrugged softly as he smirked a bit, drinking more of his whiskey. "I used to," he said, twirling his thumb across the rim before looking up at Val. "Don't travel much for Homeworld anymore."

"Nope," Peridot replied, popping the 'p' loudly before she walked in and motioned for him to follow. "But we like to keep it even, especially since we lost our best Mechanic to the treasure a few weeks ago."
Law laughed softly at that and nodded as he stepped onto the specific dock their ship was at, moving to step up to the main doors. "Alright, that sounds like a plan."
Zoro's lips twitched, at that, knowing what the man thought of Homeworld now. "You've got that right," he said with a chuckle. "Thats why I don't run with them, anyway. Renegade, I suppose you could say."

The Peridot hummed softly before nodding and shrugging her shoulders. "You've got a good point there," she said with a light hum and a grin. "Though Smoker's planning on hunting him down, or so I've heard. Thats just a rumor though." She stepped around some of the desks and moved towards the back, where another Peridot was at. Though his skin was an off green instead, and his bleach white hair hung down past his shoulders.
"Let's not tell them," Law replied as he stepped inside and looked around slowly. "They're a handful at these bars," he said, chuckling deeply before shaking his head and walking towards the galley. "I know that Shachi and Penguin are out in the city, though."
Zoro shrugged softly at that as he sat his glass down, still leaning forward. "I don't care enough about the fight," he replied. "If something happens that gives me a reason, I'll probably fight for the. But not Homeworld."

Peridot nodded softly at that, stopping behind the other gem before turning to look at Happy. "Yeah, that's true. But he took some confidential blueprints when he left, and Homeworld's requested Smoker bring them back. So that's a bit of a problem." The other Peridot looked over at them over his shoulder before standing up and wiping his hands off on a dirty cloth.
Law chuckled at that as he shifted the items in his grasp and placed his hand over another sensor, opening the door to the galley before walking inside and setting them on the table. "I doubt that. Everytime we come into something, one of them gets extra money out of it and then they both go blow it," he said, shaking his head with a fond smile on his face.

Happy frowned and clicked his tongue. "I suppose that would be a problem," he agreed after a moment, glancing at the other Peridot. "So, what do you want me to do first?"
Ivory nodded with a grin of his own, following him into the galley and setting his bags down as well. "Yeah, that's true," he agreed with a laugh.
Val shrugged a bit with a hum. "It would probably help if you were involved beforehand," he agreed, taking another drink.
