"In West Baltigo born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool. And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good. Started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared: and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in the air above Baltigo!""

Spook took a shower, unaware that his presence was requested. This was the morning after a particularly long night operation. Which had ended in a vague void for Spook.

The bathroom is equipped with an old-fashioned faucet, but it did its job nonetheless. The way Spook showered is quite odd; his method was also known as the 'navy shower' -- hot water, turn off the tap, soap himself up, water again. Hard times had hit the ship, from what Spook could perceive. It wasn't like him to make grand use of available resources. Discipline has led his life for the majority. Certain roots couldn't be slashed away, and as a result--he took showers in this odd manner. After being done with the shower, Spook put on a simple white shirt, buttoned all the way up to support the elegant bow tie he wore. Over his shirt a chic vest with seven buttons, the bottom one untied. His pants matched the style of his vest and shirt, complimenting his shoes; a pair of shortwing bluchers.

A discovery was made once the lord of his bedroom had returned to his room of operations. The security guard had become a toy once more--probably happened last night. On his pillow Spook found a letter requesting his presence. Spook made his way to the captains room and entered--it wasn't like him to knock before entering, since he was summoned he made the assumption that he was expected. Spook made sure to take the toy with him.

Judging from the captains look, perhaps it'd cheer him up?

Since Spook was essentially made from grandeur, a regular entrance wasn't in his MO.

Once he stepped into the room, he threw the toy he had towards his captain. With great strength, as this was the kind of relationship he wanted to establish with his captain; centered around banter, more specifically small bouts.



After the throw, Spook made it known that he was dressed sharply by striking a pose. The toy was dressed like an old timey wimey police officer. During the creation of the toy, that was the only thing Spook could think of when he imagined a costume. The toy was capable of movement, and will listen to the commands given. The toy could talk and respond to questions.



The toy gave an agreeing nod.




Spook went to the nearest bar in the room, if there was any, and then made a white russian before finding the closest seat.



Throughout his speech, Spook fluctuated from a serious tone to a non serious one.

Spooks toys were humans, capable of independent thought -- but still tied to their fate as being Spooks servant. They were quite versatile.



Having downed his white russian, Spook replied to the next question that the boss had given him.



A round of interrogation began to unravel, Spook already had answers to these questions, and let the captain ask whatever was on his mind. The intercom started to buzz, it seems whatever task Justice had, was completed.



Spook in one smooth movement moved to the bar, and quickly mixed vodka, kahlua and heavy cream until he had another white russian in his hands. And then followed his captain to wherever Justice would appear from. There was information to be shared, Spook got curious. The idea that the captain was using his toy as a parrot slightly amused Spook. They needed more toys, for the battles to come. Spook needed more power as well, but all will be ready in due time.

While following his captain to wherever they headed, Spook noticed the captains interest in his toys increase by the minute.



Spook smacked his lips at the thought. The start of his great empire began with this toy, never again will he do a menial task.



While mid speech, Spook got interrupted by Lucas, unaware of what he was doing, he carried a large bag. It was heavy, Spook could tell from how full the bag was. Lucas's queue for entering was Spooks queue to signal Kad, making it obvious that he wanted something from him.


By placing his hand on the head of the toy, he expanded him slightly in size--making the "menial" tasks he was given easier. Kad gave an approving nod, and went off to get all of those things, asking other grunts on the ships for directions to certain items as he did so--though sadly he couldn't comply with his request for a musical piece.

Something big had happened, was Lucas offered a warlord position? The shine of the revealed beli reflected in Spooks eyes. He stepped closer to the bag, to inspect the contents, while Lucas explained what his cut got him. [1] Spook acknowledged his new weapons. A pistol and a shotty - impressive. What did he do to get all of that beli though? What Lucas said next explained the question Spook had. He begun stroking his chin a little, and looking a little more at the beli, while the two men held a talk about the unfortunate runt who resulted in all of this money. This was effectively enough money to be permanently retire with--ironically, someone was retired permanently in return. Spook himself had acquired decent armor, it was quite durable.

Jackal spoke of getting firepower for his crew--this was most likely for the ball. Was his plan to draw the ship into battle? It could be possible, since this thing flied. But it didn't seem that practical--if the ship got hit or something, it'd cause everyone to have to evacuate. They'd be fish in a barrel. An open target for Mother and her ragaband to take aim and fire at the panicking men who are soaring through the sky, from a ship assblasted to bits. As it turned out, Spook was given a share of this, he couldn't help but smile.



Spoken with a million dollar smile, a single tear he shed.

He didn't exactly have a frame of reference for how tough the enemies in the ball were going to be. Front-line fighting wasn't Spook honed himself in, but if push came to shove that's where he'd be at the end anyway. While Jackal got settled on his chair, his toy Kad returned with the items in question all neatly placed on a tray that he passed around. Upon receiving his third glass of white Russian for today, Spook downed whatever was left of the second one and gave the glass to the toy. Spook listened carefully to what Jackal said next, seemingly a referee had given the crew a black card? It only raised more questions than they answered. Immediately after passing the 'black-cards' around, Jackal explained what they meant. The mob had put a hit on them, which pretty much aligned up with the ball soon--no surprises were had, really. This just meant that they were committed more than before, no going back now kind of deal. There is another player, another Mink called Wild King, the rest of what Jackal said was pretty much gibberish, save for the fact that his bounty topped his own.



Spook scratched his nose and immediately fired off his next questions



After taking a sip of his drink, another question came to mind.

Whatever spit he had in his mouth was gathered and swallowed, upon hearing the bounty of his captain. That was enough to lead a long and meaningful life, bring philanthropy to the poor -- but alas, Spook wasn't interested in such. By bagging up the cut that Spook was to receive, his attention was once more available. The three men seemed to agree that the hit came from Mother. Spook began thinking of other strategies that could be applied while Jackal explained his own strategy. During Jackals explanation, Spook got his drink and ordered Kad to stay at his side for a bit.



He'd cut off his captain, and decide to share one more detail of his abilities, since they will be relevant to this strategy. His abilities allowed him to wipe the memories of everyone that inhibited memories of that person. Meaning if he should return someone human, and then toy again, people will forget the toy as well -- since they inhibited memories of that person as a toy. The details of these were witchcraft, they made no sense, but in it's own vacuum it did.



Spook rested his hand on the head of the toy, after establishing firm eye contact with both Lucas and Jackal -- the most intense eye-contact he's given to this date; the toy returned into human shape--and almost within the same instant, back into a toy. With Spook saying CONTRACT; he referred to the basic contract he's set up a while ago.



While forming the man into a toy again, sapping the memories that people had of the toy(other than himself of course), and reestablishing eye contact.



Spook looked through the room. [1] Wondering what the reactions were going to be, he curiously studied whatever Jackal and Lucas had to say. Spook leaned back a little, crossing one leg over the other.



His fingers were used as a comb, gently rustling against his beard while he explained an idea he just came up with.

After all the items on Kads list were delivered to the rightful recipients; Spook performed his magic trick. It was a weird ability, he hadn't quite discovered all the nooks and crannies just yet. The reason why he did this magic trick was to let his crew know that there might be gaps in their memories moving forwards. While scratching his beard a moment, Jackal seemed to point out that Kenbenshoku Haki users couldn't be touched as easily--which made him wonder, what is Kenben?



The man asked, eyeing his captain with his head slightly tilted.





Spook coughed into his arm, and continued to listen to his captain, with Lucas interjecting due to his conflicting philosophy of the situation, before continuing to verbalize the train of thought that spiraled within.



After pushing his chair away from himself, Spook moved in a non aggressive way towards his captain. He'd raise his hand, suggesting that they'd do a high-five, and during the high-five, Spook made it a point to use his toy fruit. He was quite sure he couldn't turn the captain into a toy anyway.



Spook returned to his seat, wondering if his captain even felt something at all -- though that did rely on whether or not the captain high-fived him.



He eyed his comrade Lucas.



A loud chuckle escaped his lips shortly after his conjunction. Teasing Lucas in this manner was pretty funny, but he imagined that he was going to get teased back by Lucas in his own fashion sometime later. Hopefully through a form of banter.
