[Action/Voice] School studies! (Slightly forward dated to later in the morning and evening)

[A certain Strawhat captain is hanging out in the grocery store today, his hands placed firmly on his hips as he stares at the large selection of different foods available.]

Yooosh yosh. Raine said over the journals that school was gonna be starting soon. I’m gonna need to practice a lot if I’m ever gonna do well on that test. Hnnn. She said I needed math, science, and—- what was the other one? […] Oh yeah! Writing! Ahh, I shouldn’t have to worry about that. I’ve been writing on the journals for years so I’m already good at it. [No he’s not.] And science is gonna be annoying. So that leaves… math! And first thing I’ll do-- [And he stretches his hand over to pick up some meat, junk food, and other various foods!] Shishishi. Is ADDITION!

One! [And he stuffs some of the random assortment of food in his mouth.]

TWO! [And he swallows a handful of junk food.]

THREE!

[And this will continue until he’s pretty much cleared out a decent chunk of the stores food supply. Which might or might not come as a big shock if you’re used to seeing him in the store. Luffy usually does this from time to time. Though he doesn’t usually count how much he eats when he devours everything in sight. Unless he's interrupted he'll probably reach the mid to late 70s until he's satisfied.

Later in the evening he’s going to be doing the same thing except this time he’s going into a restaurant. And instead of counting handfuls of meat or junk foods, he’s actually just going to be sliding whole plates of food into his mouth and counting each one. Probably something like this video! He can reach over a 100 easy, but he'll prooobably be stopped before then! Maybe. Hopefully.]


[Voice]

Hey, I know a lot of you guys are going to school here or went back at home right? Well, how do you get ready for tests? I’ve been doing math all day but I still don’t feel any better at it. And I’m starting to run out of stomach room...



[ooc: Phew. Sorry I've been gone for so long guys. Work pretty much wrecked me for the longest time. Since I did kind of disappear like that and didn't go on hiatus (my bad) I'm going to just assume Luffy was on background autopilot. That probably makes it easier since I'm SURE someone would have noticed by now if he was mallynapped. If you guys have any threads you want to wrap up or do or things you need to discuss about it though don't be too shy to IM me! My aim is Essemwolf.]

You've been studying, Luffy-san? [Stranger things have happened. Maybe.]

[voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Ahh, yeah. But just math though. I figured I could just study the rest later.

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

What kind of test is this for?

[The fact that he's studying at all is pretty surprising. Whatever it's for, it must be important to him. Maybe she could lend him a hand.]

[skaterbrain]

...why would you wanna take a test??

voice

[gomugomunopwn]

Hnnn... well they do seem like they're gonna be a pain. But I need to learn meat alchemy so I have to!

voice

[skaterbrain]

Whoa whoa whoa! Meat alchemy? Meat alchemy?!

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Well, Ace had a little extra shopping to do today because Ace and Sabo living in the same house really drains the food supply sometimes. So, naturally, when he sees his little brother stuffing his face and... counting? He's gonna walk over to see what's up. He still has a few bandages over his arms and chest, but it's not as bad as it could be.] Luffy? What are you doing?

[action]

[gomugomunopwn]

Forty-six! [NOM] Forty-seven-- [Oh hey! Bro approaching. He stops counting for a bit and finishing eating any food he has on his hand before giving a big grin!]

Hehehe! Math! [ISN'T IT OBVIOUS!]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Ace has never properly been to school either, but he doubts it goes like this.] Are you sure it goes like that? I thought there were numbers and stuff on paper.

[While Luffy is doing his counting exercise, Aang will be standing there. Just... staring. Horrified.]

[Action]

[gomugomunopwn]

[He doesn't noticeAang at first, but when he FINALLY DOES. He starts to slow down his chomping to a halt. And then turns around to look at Aang. Staring at him while he eats is kindas weird duuuude!]

Oi, Aang... you okay?

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Sorry, Luffy, I'm fine. It was just... You put lots and lots of food in your mouth and you counted it.

[He had heard of his hunger... but he never dared imagine...]

Voice, filtered.

[avenger]

Stomach room?

Voice, filtered.

[gomugomunopwn]

[Oh. IT'S YOU]

Yeah. That's how I practice. For every piece of food I eat I count a number.

[mikangirl]

[...yeah, guess who missed your first announcement of studying. Man, she goes away for a week and you go crazy. :|]

...you're going to school. [Carefully said, because surely she is missing something here.]

[gomugomunopwn]

Oh! Yeah, I forgot to tell you! Raine said I could go to school when it opens back up! I just gotta take this test first. But I'm already practicing so it'll be fine.

Voice, filtered to Nami and Luffy.

[avenger]

If he has to take a test, I doubt he'll get in.

[breezing]

What's stomach room got to do with math?

[ HER WORST SUBJECT. is she missing something. ]

voice;

[gomugomunopwn]

It's my new "counting technique"! For every big bite of food you take, you count one more!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

You? Run out of stomach room? I'm not sure I believe it. Can't you just stretch and make more?

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

[Oh Vash.]

I can't stretch forever! I'd burst!

[voice]

[complicatedliar]

'tis better to not do math on a full stomach. Food makes your thinking slower.

[...WHAT IS THIS EVEN.]

[voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

... Seriously!?

[Aw, crap no wonder he couldn't do the multiplication tables with Sasuke.]

Damn! I didn't know that... I'm gonna have to think of another way to do math besides eating...

[action]

[zorichan]

[Zoro's gonna come wandering into the store somewhere between numbers 35 and 40, breathing heavily and clutching Wadou Ichimonji with both hands. He's gonna give Luffy a long, hard stare before taking a deep breath and yelling:]

H-HEY!!! [...] YOU! Straw Hat!

[While Zoro's actually been staying at House 6, he's so far been more out than in. As a result, he hasn't exactly made the connection that Straw Hat Luffy -> living in the Straw Hat house.

Looks like Luffy isn't the only pirate who needs a bit more schooling. :I] Stop eating and fight me!

[voice]

[sailedfirst]

[Scrolling through this post and encountering 'meat alchemy' and 'learning math through eating', and Sabo can only sigh to himself, ONLY YOU, LUFFY.]

You sure you wanna go to school? It's not very fun, y'know. [Which is the main reason why he didn't try to teach you and Ace brain-stuff. Or, if he did, failed at spectacularly.]
