onepieceyaoi100A week and a half, and this is the most I've been able to write of anything. I've sunk to new levels of pathetic. Forgive me.
Title: Wonders of the Blues
Word Count: 300
Topic: Routines and Rituals
Rating: PG-13 for language
Disclaimer: If I owned them, it wouldn't be fanfiction; but I don't, and it is.
Welcome to another episode of “Wonders of the Blues”. Today we examine the Pirata marinus, or common Sea Pirate, of which we have luckily discovered an exotic—and very dangerous—subspecies: P. m. mugiwara.
Look there, and you will see the Tres gladii breed napping in the sun, doubtlessly conserving energy after a long hunt. Note the excellent musculature on this specimen; firm and well toned with just the slightest hint of fat around the haunches that show he is well fed. These are signs of an excellent hunter.
Ah, and there is a magnificent Coquus calcitrat; just look at the lustrous golden mane and spiral marking! C. calcitrat rarely leaves the den except to hunt or to seek a mate, but whatever kind of prey he pursues, you can bet the display will be amazing.
“Hey, shitty swordsman.”
Ah, the mating call. We’re in for a real treat; it appears that the C. calcitrat has marked T. gladii as a mate instead of his normal choice of Puella citrea. It’s uncommon, but not unheard of. Let’s see if T. gladii responds.
“Go away, shitty cook.”
T. gladii seems disinterested, but it looks like C. calcitrat isn’t about to give up.
“Lend a hand with the dishes.”
“Screw you.”
Look at that kick! He’s got his attention now.
“I said, lend a hand with the dishes.”
“Bastard!”
T. gladii has his claws out now; C. calcitrat will have to be cautious.
“Think you’re man enough to handle this?”
“I’ll kill you!”
It’s believed the elaborate mating ritual required for courting the T. gladii bears strong resemblance to the play-combat used to determine dominance among P. m. mugiwara males because of his aggressive nature.
Come back next week, when we’ll see if we can catch the two together in the den.
(End)
Glossary:
*Pirata marinus = Sea Pirate
*P. m. mugiwara = Straw Hat Sea Pirate (bastardized from the Japanese)
*Tres gladii = Three Swords
*Coquus calcitrat = The Cook Kicks (or The Cook Resists Obstinantely)
*Puella citrea = Citrus Girl

chibi_trillian for helping me with the Latin-izing. If there are mistakes, hit me, not her. I probably messed up what she told me.

Date: 2006-04-18 07:41 am (UTC)BTW, I agree on you doing a sequel! Though, it you do, it'd be niice to see some of the others. I'd love to see what you come up for for Luffy and Usopp... ^_^
"Hey, shitty swordsman."
Ah, the mating call.
Best. Mating call. Ever.

Date: 2006-04-18 04:29 pm (UTC)"Crikey! Wouldja look at that! We've just found ourselves a Red-Breasted Luffy. 'At's Pirata marinus mugiwara, also known as the True Strawhat Pirate, in case you're curious. They're quite dangerous, fully capable of killing a man, but most of the time they're pretty friendly and this'un looks well-fed, so let's go up and see what he's about, eh?"
And if you don't write the "mating" sequel, I will. I'll pull out my old biology textbooks if I have to. *pokeys with stick*
