006↠ ACTION
[It's sunny. And hot. And perhaps not the best weather to take a nap in while you're unabashedly unconscious.
... Which is too bad, seeing as Sanji's passed out under a tree located at the village's edge - clothes dirty and ruffled, no doubt collecting more dirt as he rolls in his uncomfortable slumber, the crook of his arm covering his eyes.
Go on. Wake him up. Be a good Samaritan.
And hell, even if you don't, Sanji will eventually stumble upon you -- or into you, if that's your thing. Later in the day he'll be all over the village insisting he's fine, no he's not drunk so stop trying to escort him back to bed. B| He can walk it off.]
[ooc: MALLYNAP EFFECT. Touch him and your character will share a memory with Sanji. It can be a memory of his or a memory of your character's; just specify in the subject line what you prefer. |D Any memory is free game, and the scope of it is at our discretion, but keep in mind both characters will view it until the memory ends or they escape the "boundary". (Just imagine the memory as a bubble and if a character walks far enough for whatever reason, they pop it.) Also note they're still in Luceti - no teleporting anywhere. Just assume the characters are mostly slack-jawed and staring at a tree for the duration.
I also endorse all time-breaking. Tis but a flimsy wall in our way.]

[action] IT HAPPENS IN LIFE /pats
...Guess you have a point there. [Yep, gotta give Sanji that one.] Maybe Ace just overreacted. He said you go all heart-eyed for girls, so he's really worried what'll happen if you meet Luffy being one.
[This is Sabo. Put him with a trustworthy company and he'll babble things out. B| ]
[action]
Tch! I've got standards! Besides, it's not like he's really a lady! I bet he's completely the same.
[action]
[action]
And you guys are... sure that's Luffy?
Not some shitty impostor?
[action]
[In other news, the memory shifts and suddenly---it's almost sun down. Memory!Sabo's running past Sanji and Sabo, then shouting up at Ace somewhere above them.
"Sabo! What's wrong? Have they gone to our old hide-out to look for the money?"]
Oh, yeah. I never told you my name. [Offering Sanji a handshake.] I'm Sabo. Thanks for looking after Luffy in the future.
[action]
Sabo... [Nope, still not ringing any bells. Sanji eyes the hand offered to him, not out of malice but he'd rather a new memory not come to bite him in the ass. In the end, manners win out. He gives it a shake] Nice to meet you.
I'd apologize for my captain giving you so much shitty trouble, but uh. [Glancing back up at the scene, faint smile in place] I guess you're more used to it than me.
[action]
"There's no way they'd know where to go! That Luffy-guy... he still hasn't told them anything!"
He'll never stop feeling guilty over what happened to Luffy this day, and though it's unspoken between them, he's sure Ace feels the same.]
Nah, we've gotten him to much trouble too. And... with the way this thing's going, I think you're gonna see how. [Giving Sanji a once over.] Say, you're not used to hanging around a trash heap, are you?
[action]
[And that faint smile from before is slowly wearing away, now suddenly unsure and concerned] Oi, what's going on?
[action]
...We're about to rescue Luffy from being tortured. [The memory has shifted enough for Sabo to realize it's been jumping scenes, so when the memory shimmered again, he glances at Sanji and gives him a one useful advice when visiting a trash heap:] Don't breathe in all at once.
[Because suddenly. There's an indescribable stink everywhere, and there's garbage covering every surface of the ground, some piling into great heaps like hills.
Welcome to the Gray Terminal, Sanji.]
[action]
He promptly recoils and chokes, drawing an arm over his nose.]
Ugh! The hell... [That such a place exists... well, Sanji's less surprised than he could be, but the stench is so thick and the sight so unrealistically horrid, it's hard to form a thought here.]
[action]
The last time he'd seen Gray Terminal, it was lit by fire.] ...still can't believe they burned this place down. [People were dying and lives were ruined... and no one cared. It still makes him so damn angry.
Then he blinks, remembering his new companion. He looks over Sanji in concern.] Try breathing through your coat. You get used to the smell eventually, but I'm not sure if we have enough time for that.
[action]
They burned it down? [Not knowing the entire situation, Sanji can't exactly see why that's a bad thing. All this trash can't be good for anyone, save rats]
[action]
At Sanji's question, Sabo stiffens. He didn't even realize he'd spoken that out loud.] ...Yeah. They burned everything-- [he stares at the Terminal folks wandering around the trash heap, foraging for unlikely treasures to sell, and Sabo just grits his teeth] --everyone, until nothing remained. They burned all the kingdom's trash.
[He sucks in a breath and shakes his head, turning away.] But that's still more than a year from now. Let's go, Porchemy's hideout is this way.
[action]
He turns away too, following Sabo and frowning for a completely different reason.]
This is where Luffy grew up? [He starts to realize just how little he knows about his own captain, how much he never bothered to question. Not exactly a bad thing in and of itself, but it's all the more apparent in this memory, and it bothers the chef a little]
Re: [action]
In a way! Luffy's born in the Fuusha Village on the other side of the island. He only came to live with Ace and the bandits up there in Mt. Corvo a few months ago. It's me who lived here in the trash heap the longest. But after this day, I went to stay with them too.
After that, we don't spend as much time here. We either train fighting animals in the mountain, or go straight into town to-- er... eat fine dining once in a while!
