[After getting violently ejected from his own house, Asch has set up temporary shop in Good Spirits until he figures out where to go (and whether or not to try and evict Guy and get his house back). Since Guy apparently hit his head and can't even remember working there, Asch is hoping that the bar will be the last place he'll have to worry about running into Guy again. And it's not like dealing with the shop is particularly hard; all you have to do is pour drinks and listen to people's griping, and what good is a replica if he can't do that in Asch's place? ...The listening part, anyway. Floating glasses of alcohol might give people the wrong idea.

So in short, Asch will be doing two things today: shopping and carrying groceries back to the bar to stock up, or hanging out in the bar and trying not to attempt to murder his invisible companion. Stupid drecks and their attempts at impressing him. He's not really used to being around a lot of people, so he easily forgets that he's the only one who can see Luke. Thus:]

I already told you to keep your feet on the ground. You could at least pretend to be normal.

[....]

Shut up! Stop doing that, I don't need help.

[....]

Just be quiet already!!

[...Yeah he's a little crazy in public this week.]

You're not likely to kill each other here, are you?

[Asch actually looks uncomfortable for a moment before he masks it.] ...I have no intention of killing him.

[Making a mental note to keep an ear out here, then. :|] I'm assuming one of you has left house five for now.

Obviously. [He's trying not to radiate misery here, considering he's been kicked out of his own damn house.]

[Attempt is failing there, Asch.]

I'm surprised you're working instead of drinking.

[This may come as a surprise, but-] I don't like alcohol much.

{This strikes her as incredibly amusing, and she will successfully keep that out of her expression. Because she has some empathy, here.] Well, what do you like doing?

[...Actually-] ...There isn't much I enjoy. Just living day by day is enough.

...seriously?

That's--

[--sad. But then, maybe that's not usually the case. Maybe.]

That's a shame. Maybe you should find a hobby.

...I wouldn't even know where to start.

Uh. Well. Do you like the water? You could try sailing or something. And it gets you far out of the village.

That's more- [....Didn't want to think of him.] ...Guy's territory.

[An eyebrow goes up at that.] I think it's anyone's territory, but if it's not something you'd enjoy that's a different story.

...I just don't like boats.

[~~SACRILEGE~~ Also, this is going to be hard. Mrr.]

Well, there's got to be something about your day you actually like.

I practice my swordsmanship, but I wouldn't call that a hobby.

How good are you?

[..actually, she's beginning to wonder if she's asking these questions of the wrong Asch. So to speak.]

...I've been doing it since I was six. You draw your own conclusions.

[Thankfully this Asch is almost the same as his counterpart, so his answers ought to hold up, aside from... well, okay, not much.]

[Oh, so much like Nami, then. |D Well, he's either great at it or a spectacular failure who doesn't know when to quit. She'll take the former. >.>]

There's a lot of swordsmen in town.

[Thank you, Captain Obvious.]

So what?

[She's a shounen heroine, that's what they do.]

Mm. No reason, really.

Dammit, Nami, why so confusing.]

I'm not just going to go around picking fights with people.

Didn't say you had to. I just know there are a few who like having matches. Keeps them in shape for when doom tries to rain on your head. [As it often does, really.]

[Sparring, huh. That's actually not a bad idea.]

...Any suggestions?

Hmm. I know Okita was looking for swordsmen to spar against a while ago. [A long while ago, admittedly, but hey.] And you could always ask Zoro. He's the guy with green hair that tends to snore on our roof a lot.
