Sanji "flaming bullshit" Vinsmoke ([personal profile] concasse) wrote2011-11-04 04:27 am

001↠ Action/Voice

[There is something extraordinarily jarring about finding yourself in a chilled, unfamiliar forest, when two seconds ago you were under the sea, fighting off a legion of crazed fishmen. The blonde man clad in the usual New Feather's garb is none too pleased with this switch once he gathers his bearings, and he sets off in a direction that might be right, straining to hear any sounds of battle, only half-mindful of the journal he hasn't ditched yet. The hows and whys can wait until he's back with his crew.

He'll come across the town, eventually, once a certain child skipping school sets him straight. And it will feel like the longest half hour of Sanji's life, hearing what she says to him -- and once she's safely back home and past her tears, he's going to... head straight to the grocery.

Cigarettes. Need them. Now. He flies through a pack of the damn things before grabbing another, shoving it into a flimsy pocket like it's his last sane lifeline. It might as well be. Navigating back home (...home), along an all-too familiar path, makes his head and chest hurt from the seeping memories.

Heh, what a load of shitty bull. He doesn't want to be here. Except he sorta does. Maybe. And damn, it'd be nice if he could make up his mind.

There will be no such luck today. He goes home, combing the house for available crew members; any kind of anchor and stability. And after that, there's the clothing shop for his suits. Then Seventh Heaven. Then tracking down every person his memory supplies a name for - Xion. Miyabi. Sayo. Katara. Vash. Wolfwood. Isamu. Shit how many are there? - until his head feels too full and he goes to collapse at the bar around evening. Only then does the journal open.]


... Oi. [Fuck, where does one begin? Let's start with a name] It's Sanji. [Pause, and then with tired ire] Guess you shitheads aren't rid of me yet.


[ooc: If you think Sanji would look for your character... then he would probably look for your character. XD So yeah. << RUN INTO HIM ANYWHERE, previous CR or otherwise! He's all over town, and I care not for these things called continuity and time (save for who finds him in the forest - that honor goes to Elicia.)]

I'm not surprised, considering. How long have you been here, a few hours maybe?

[Voice]

That's right. I arrived this morning. [He feels like he's returned to a really, really shitty part-time job.] Just in time for shitty winter, I see.

You just missed something even worse than the winter, so I think you got the better end of the deal.

You planning on staying for a while?

Right... something about the moon falling... [That still just. Bwuh. He can't fathom this.

And he takes his time answering that, trying to feel out an answer]


Not that I'm exactly given a choice, but... [A pause] I'm here now, so I'm gonna make the most of it.

Oh good, you already heard. Makes my job easier.

[There's a pause of his own. That's reassuring. He can trust that.] ...good. That's what I like to hear. [He's tempted to ask if he's found Xion yet, but he's not sure how to go about it.]

[Voice]

[Sanji would offer reassurances on that end - Xion was the first person he sought out, after crew - but he's still a little flabbergasted and focused on that stupid Halloween experiment]

Do they really have that power? Or was it some shitty simulation that fooled everyone?
perplexme: (bitch I will cut you)

[Voice]

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-11-09 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
If it was some simulation, it was pretty good. The masks were pretty powerful, and the moon...Sanji, it had a face. That's pretty powerful, simulation or not. Scary, isn't it?

[Voice]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-11-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
And a face? [That lends itself well to the creepy scale] ... Guess I really did miss all the excitement.


Oi, but what's this about masks? I didn't hear anything about that yet.
perplexme: (cynical)

[Voice]

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-11-10 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...it was pretty weird. I wish I had my camera, but it was too hard to grab anything all week.

There were masks all over the village and people were putting them on and all of these weird things kept happening. I turned into a ghost.

[Voice]

Actually, Elicia-chan mentioned something about beating everyone in fights when she had a mask on... [So that's what she was referring to]

... But why the hell would you guys put on masks the shitty Malnosso provided? [Just sayin. At this stage, Sanji figures everyone knows not to touch certain stuff]
perplexme: (contemplative)

[Voice]

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-11-14 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty probable. I lost track of how many kinds of masks were around. [He just snorts though.] Because of the moon, I guess. I didn't get a choice, I just woke up with the thing on. But the other people I talked to? They said it was like the mask was protecting them, like they'd be safe if they wore them.

[Voice]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hn. [That sounds suspiciously like mind control shenanigans.]

So long as everyone winded up safe, that's as good as we're gonna get. [He hasn't heard of a death toll]

I ended up human and solid again after the moon fell, if that's what you mean. I'll take it.

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I wouldn't put it past them to kill everyone one day.
perplexme: (pensive)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-11-20 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest? I'm surprised they didn't this time around. They just made us believe they were going to...

...but at least you're here for a clean start.
