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.)]

Your skeleton friend is less convincing. [*_* Oh well.] So what kinds of pirates are you, then?

[Pfft, allow him to work on that. He can be persuasive when he wants to be.]

We're more concerned about freedom and chasing our dreams than those sorts of things!

[Oh, but before they get too far:] Sanji-san? What do you think should be the first stop on this tour?

How about we take him through the shops around here? [Since they're in the square, might as well hit them first]

We've got the school, smithy, grocery shop and item shop along there. [He points to the biggest buildings] If you've got a weapon you wanna pick up, hit the smithy. Otherwise you'll find what you need at the item shop. Shit from other worlds come through there.

Ah—A weapon?

[... He rubs his chin, thoughtful. He considered being quiet about his powers, but really, he had no chance of keeping his identity secret and doing his job in a small place like this. And without any reason to hide his identity...]

How about armor suits?

It would depend on the type of armor, I believe. I've come across a few items while browsing through the Smithy before, and some in the clothing store.

[He gives Kotetsu a shrewd look, tempted to ask, but eventually decides against it.]

I'd say the heavier stuff you'll find in the smithy.

Oh, it's pretty heavy! It's a power suit. Covers you head to toe!

I was wondering if it might show up or not, but then, I have more important stuff to find.

'Power suit'? That sounds like something Franky-san would talk about...

[He'd ask about it, but he tunes back in just in time for that last comment.]

Such as? We can keep an eye out for any of your things as we go along! Well, Sanji-san can. I, of course, have no eyes. Yohohoho!

Yeah, then you'll wanna check the smithy first, before the item shop.

And what's this important thing of yours?

Ah! well, one is a little pin with a christmas tree on it. It's pretty small... so I haven't really been able to track it down yet. And then, the other one's a silver ring—it's just a plain silver ring, but it's really important I find it, you know?

[Brook has no rings he's ever been particularly attached to, but he can emphasize with that feeling of losing an important possession when you wake up here.]

If they're here, both of those things should be in the Item Shop. With the three of us, I bet we could find them! Ah, so long as we keep him away from the paint.

[ Him being Sanji, of course. 8] ]

Brook, shut your stupid jaw! [HNNNNNNGH]

[The next part is directed at Kotetsu, once Sanji's done trying to incinerate his nakama by glaring at him hard enough]

If you wanna take a look right now, we can pause the tour and drop by the place. [It's not like it's far]

[Mrrr... He looks at his hand thoughtfully. Grumping like a manchild should.]

I looked everywhere yesterday... You think it could be there today?

[He was feeling a little naked without it. Not to mention, the pin really was important! He'd have to find Bunny's, too... But then...]

You don't think... maybe it won't show up, do you...?

[Tapping you lightly on the head with his cane, Kotetsu.]

Don't think like that now. If it's important to you, it will definitely show up sooner or later.

[He's yet to be proven wrong on this, either. Given the look on his face, he thinks taking a little side trip in their tour is probably a good idea, too.]

Why don't we try it?

If it means he'll stop making that shitty face. [So polite, Sanji. But there's no bite in his words, so that's something.]

Hmm...

Alright! Let's give it a quick look-see, then!

[TO THE JEWELRY PILES EEEEEE~~

ADVENTURE

come along pirates]

That's the spirit! Right this way; right this way!

[And since it makes little sense to halt the tour until after they're done, considering there's things to see in between where they started in the square and where they're headed, Brook will point things out along the way!

There's the bar, and the welcome center, and the clinic, and a few other things back there that they passed that Brook promises to mention later if they walk back that way, including the restaurant (though he'll let Sanji talk about that one).

Once they actually make it to the shop, Brook will stop his chattering to hold open the door.]

After you, gentlemen!

A-actually, I woke up in the bar when I first got here. On the bar counter.

[Oh, thank you; he'll be looking around adjusting his hat, looking for differences in the store from yesterday. Not that what he was looking for would be an obvious change, but still. You never know what'll pop up. And while he won't find his ring, the pin is--surprisingly--lying in wait somewhere.]

Don't the malnosso ever think about just having a drop off spot for their new people? It's no good tossing people into the forest like they do...

You assume they give enough of a shit. [Oh, the item shop. Sanji doesn't have the fondest memories of you. His stare is wary and on alert for any paint, more than that elusive pin.]

And be glad you woke up there instead of the shitty forest.

[No open paint cans this time, it looks like. Just an unusually large display of mirrors that Brook will stop by to adjust his cravat in before looking around for small shiny things, like rings and pins.]

I agree with Kotetsu-san. Though perhaps I have little room to complain! I woke up both here and outside in the forest a month ago.

[Yes, both places at once. But ooh, he found shinies in a box set up on the counter.]

Ah, here are some necklaces! Hm... but no rings or pins, it seems. They're bound to be somewhere about!

[/brb, diving over that counter]

[E-eeh. How do you wake up two places--

... Not even asking. More importantly, looking through a box over here!]

Maa, not a big fan of necklaces.

.... Maybe there's a box around here with a few necklaces—

.............

[Ooookay. This box has no pins. He scrunches his eyebrows and picks up one of the lovely... magazines... from the box. It may have a woman clad in a bikini on it. Looking very sensual.

`_____`]

Some boxes are a little too personal, I think.

[Sanji very nearly shuffles through the box of necklaces, hoping to find something that will appease Nami or Robin.

... And then, Kotetsu finds the porn stash.

/YOINKED.] Oi oi, you're a married man! [BUT HE'S NOT. 8Db]
