[The screen lights up--though only a little. An exceptionally tall man, wearing a golden pirate's hook on his left arm, sat up on a large crate in the middle of the industrial district. He kept a cigar between his teeth, seemingly uninterested in the little device that was filming him.

Crocodile turned to face it, his expression somewhat hidden by the fur lining of his coat. Still, he looked bored whether or not he actually was. Crocodile's voice came out in a slow, methodical and extremely deep drawl.]

Is this place supposed to be something worthy of protection? [He lied--] Even if I'm a Warlord, whoever said I was the right person to pick?

Now--I've looked around. Where are the blackmailers that brought us here?

[It's an unconchtrollable factor...]

...Oi, oi. I asked you a 'how' type question.

[swwag]

[Well, he's gotta just roll with the tides.]

Oh, well, first of all there's no ocean! That is a very different thing to have to deal with for a troll like myself. I'm a regular beached whale here! No ifs ands or tails about it! But I guess this is um- an operchtunaty to broaden my horizons? Geographically speaking, of course. Heh.[Snickering, all of the snickering.]

[croco_boy]

[Crocodile listened. He stared. Smoke rolled off of his cigar slowly, snaking around and pooling close to the underside of a street lamp simply because there was no wind in the alley he stood in.]

...Hm. What horizons would a kid like you be lookin' to broaden? 'Fraid I don't know many boys with big horns like that.

[swwag]

Oh many horizons! I like to think that I am uh, open minded to new things and have a wide variety if interests. [A wide, toothy smile.]

It's really not good to turn anything down, you never really know what sort of thing you will have a natural talent for! Just keep swimming, as they say. [A little chuckle, and a nod.]

Oh uh, as for my horns? I can a-shore you, you'll find others life me, most definitely. Trolls seem to be a rather common occurrence here, oddly enough! Or not... oddly. I really do not know for sure, this place has proven to be very strange already.

[croco_boy]

Heh. I'll take your word for it, kid. Though, rest assured--I'm definitely not going to take things at your stride.

I'm a bit of a nuisance in that regard.

[swwag]

Well everyone needs to do what they gotta do I guess, heh. But if uh, you ever need help with anything and what not, I will put my name out there! [Nod nod.]
