Walking and going over a checklist by a stairway...definitely not my best moment for the day that's for sure. As I'm falling only a few thoughts are running through my brain.
Did I just lose a shoe? Yes, yes I did. And I'm pretty sure someone is shouting but I don't want to open my eyes to see who. Too scary. Second time I've fallen and dropped everything today, only this time it's totally my fault for being so absentminded. Perhaps Iggnies has been rubbing off on me.
*THUMP*
Am I dead? Did someone catch me?
"Fufufufufu, a cute little woman falling from the sky? Why this must be my lucky day." Well this voice doesn't sound familiar in the least. And something is most definitely tickling my nose. Opening my eyes all I see is pink. Pink feathers everywhere, rubbing against my nose making it twitch and fluttering against my cheeks. What in the?
Peeking though thick lashes I start to analyze the situation I've quite literally fallen into. A white shirt with red flames framing tan skin is the first thing I see. Taking my gaze upwards...and up and up. Damn another super tall person. Blond hair, oddly flared sunglasses and a large Cheshire grin.
I would have preferred falling I think. I don't like the feel of this man...speaking of feels, his hand had better not be moving to where I think it's headed. "Fufufufufu, are mute or stupid woman?" Mute?! Stupid?! Oh how rude!
" I am neither. Just in shock that someone actually caught me and I'm not suffering from a concussion while lying on the floor. And if you would PLEASE REMOVE YOUR HAND it is not appreciated where it's currently at." I snapped out. Did his grin just get wider? Oh dear.
" I thank you for the assistance however, I wouldn't have enjoyed ending up in the infirmary." "Ooooooo, I'd go ahead and put her down Doflamingo," Doflamingo?! That Warlord Garp wanted me to avoid?! "Garp looks as though he's going to implode."
Who said that? Who...never mind, only one person in Marineford has that drawl. Vice-Admiral Borsalino. What is he doing here? I wasn't aware he was back in Marineford yet. Oh look and there's Garp. I didn't know his face could turn that color.
"Down Doflamingo! Put her DOWN!" Garp spat out.
"But what will you do if I don't want to Garp? I do like a feisty woman and she fell into me after all." Mocked the blonde. Oh great a pissing match. Well this has gone on long enough. "I'm perfectly capable of walking. If you would please put me down I'd like to get back to work now." His chest vibrates as he shakes with laughter. "Fufufufufu, how polite. Tell me woman do you have any settings other than polite?"
Wiggling loose from the chickens grasp (more like a flamingos really) " Manners always matter." I quipped over my shoulder as I walk across the tiled floor to make my way to my lost red shoe before it gets lost in the commotion. I really do like this pair of flats. They're super comfortable to walk around all of Marineford in. I'd really hate to lose them. Grabbing my runaway flat I'm hopping on my left foot in order to slip it onto my right when it occurs to me that I never heard anyone leave. Now that I think about it I believe I can still hear Garp huffing and puffing in the back like some sort of demented steam engine. Turning around I take in the situation fully now that I've gotten my bearings. A large pink birdman (Doflamingo) Garp of course, and at some point in me getting loose Garps now between myself and a cluster of people like a guard dog.
Who else is there? I was distracted by Garp. Lets see, Borsalino, Crocodile (the jokes I could make on that hook) Jimbe and now Kuzan is walking up to the group. Mah mah just what did I walk into? "Garp sir I'll be taking my leave now. My apologies for the accident. I wasn't paying attention." "Good idea. Go ahead and get back to work. I'll see you tomorrow." He growled out not taking his eyes off the grinning blonde. "Yes sir."
As I'm walking away I hear a mumbled comment from Kuzan about me getting myself into troublesome situations. It's not my fault!
I blame the job and the coworkers that come with it.
