Really? This is stupid. You don't even have enough time to send me anywhere. Why the hell are you considering it now? And don't use that weird excuses like I'm--good looking or anything. Because that only works on idiot cooks, not me. If you think I'm going to cooperate you have another thing coming.

[HAD to respond... aaah! Hopefully my snark is up to snuff! x.x]
... and what did you call me, dumbass swordsman?!
[XD same.]
Pay attention, idiot cook. [Since you obviously didn't hear him the first time] I can't get lost because she hasn't sent me anywhere.
no subject
[You get a snort, this time.] Good! Just sit on a log like a good lump of moss should, idiot marimo. And don't give your mun any grief!
no subject
The least she can do is send me somewhere with worthwhile opponents. It's not like there's any around here.
no subject
(and mun thinks Zoro is so oblivious to his own charms/appeal/is-in-agreement-with-Zoro's-mun)]Hrmph. Just like a muscle-headed idiot to only think about fighting... [He smirked.] Getting a little soft are we, Zoro-kun?
no subject
(and how, baby. -brofist)[Tch. Are you calling him soft? You want to start a fight, love cook? Because he'll bring you one]Not as soft as you've gotten.
[For even thinking that he'd gotten soft to begin with]
no subject
(sis-fists(?) back!)[Bring it on, mosshead.][Sanji snarled, stuffing his hands into his pockets and raising one leg. That remark cut a little too close to home. He hadn't been training and fighting as much as he should, in the game he was in, he knew... not to mention the mis-matched battle he'd just been in, there. But, damn it... crazy weapons or NOT, he was going to KEEP fighting, and there was no way he'd ever admit any of THIS to the swordsman, anyway!]
You wanna TEST just how "soft" I am, kelp-brain?
no subject
[But a hand on his sword anyway. He did not completely engineer this fight. No. Why do you ask?]
no subject
[He makes no moves to attack, yet. But he shifts back into a guarded stance, ready to attack at a moment's notice.]
[Yes, he was the same annoying Marimo that he always was, but... there was something nice about this, oddly enough. Something familiar.]
no subject
Better save yourself for the others.
[Okay, so he's a little lame himself. But he's trying to ask without asking if you have any crew where you are. Since that's more important than a fight. But if you do happen to mock him about it then he can challenge you again. See? He really does have it all figured out.]
[and I TL;DR with him... sorry. ^.^; Sanji tends to ramble on me. c.c;]
What others, asshole? You see anyone else here?
[Unfortunately, the question rather went over Sanji's head at the moment... though the answer still was true, regardless. There were no other crew members where he was. He tried not to let it bother him, tried to believe it was for the best - for THEM - that they weren't there... but the feelings of lonliness were getting harder and harder to ignore. Sanji frowned a little, mulling over Zoro's comment in his head.]
Are you looking to see if there are opponents you can fight, where I am? Heh... there's a whole range of beings where I am. Some are pathetic, some look like they'd put up a decent fight, some have crazy powers, none that have to do with Devil Fruits... we've even had some near-god-like figures in this crazy place.
[He paused, then frowned some more. What if that made Zoro want to COME there, to Nautilus? No... No, damn it! He wasn't about to see any of his crewmates come there, and learn their lives back home had all been fake... that their dreams could be all for naught. He wouldn't allow that. Sanji placed his foot back down on the ground, straightened his shoulders, and scoffed.]
It's mostly quiet, though... People are mostly all chummy-chummy with each other... or indifferent. Not many that interested in fighting. You'd find it horribly boring, Marimo.
[pffh. tempt...er I mean...tldr away >>;;]
[
What else did you expect to happen?He hasn't fought god-like figures since Enel who was really more really damn lucky than god-like... and he isn't sure that Kuma counts.Since they were all pretty trounced.But the abrupt switch in Sanji's tone gets Zoro's attention and he's really not fooling anyone. Saying it's quiet? Relaxing his guard? He is hiding something.Obviously he doesn't want Zoro to come. Maybe it's because something terrible is there.]
I think I want to meet these gods.
[Because his nakama shouldn't have to face terrible things alone. Not while he's alive]
no subject
.o(Stay away, Zoro... damn you... Just stay lost, for once in your life, listen to me...)
You don't. They're not like shitty Enel. They're not like anything we've ever FACED before. Picture a city, like Alubarna... flying in the sky above our heads... THAT'S the "god"... a living city... that was bent on destroying all of us. Not just killing us... wiping us out from all of reality itself. Below us, pure, concentrated chaos. Real, actual sea of chaos... where absolutely anything's possible, and too much of it would cause reality itself to unwind. And us, stuck between both... too far up we get caught by this asshole Aeon... too far down and we fall into the pit. You can't cut a city, Zoro.
[He took in a couple deep breaths, cursing himself. Damn it, he'd let his guard slip, and said too much. He cracked open one eye, peering over at Zoro.]
Course, that's all finished and over with, now. We managed to kill the shitty Aeon... it won't be coming back. So no more gods for you to meet. [He won't mention Nautilus itself is also an Aeon... albeit more 'benevolant'... if it does have a shitty sense of humor.]
no subject
And another one could show up. [If one wonders in, why not two? Anyway, it sounds like a hell of a challenge. And these kinds of "games" once you went home, well, it was just like you never left. Finally and most importantly, Sanji sounds pretty damned desperate in not wanting him over there. Something there has freaked the shit out of him and Zoro doesn't intend to rest until at least he can find out what it is and if it can be destroyed, and, if not, at least they can face it together]
So where is this place?
no subject
[His shoulders square up, and he fixes Zoro with a firm look.] Not telling.
no subject
[This is what nakama are for. This is what he is getting so strong for]
I don't care if it's fighting or bending. Whatever it is, I'll learn it. Or do you think I can't handle it?
I really should be in bed, but this is -fun-, dangit... XD
[Sanji closed his eyes, briefly, fighting away an urge to drop his shields, and speak honestly. This was Zoro, his nakama. Here in this dear_mun place was the only place he found them!
(outside of 1-on-1 LJ RP, but that's another journal, another 'reality', and another 'character' entirely.)For a moment, his desire to take any bit of comfort in the presence of any of his nakama was nearly overwhelming, but he shoved it down, convincing himself he was protecting them, damn it... protecting them from having their dreams shattered.][Sanji glanced back over at Zoro, then smirked.] It takes a lot of mental fortitude to Bend... which means I guess that leaves you out. [Actually, that was a lie, and it took great strength of will to Bend, which meant - if he allowed himself to be HONEST with himself - Zoro would actually be a pretty good Bender... because aside from Luffy - before meeting ANY of the Straw Hats, really - he hadn't met many other people with such strong will. But he teased, he prodded... this was just their WAY. And, maybe, if he could annoy Zoro enough, he'd forget about what he'd been talking about. A guy could hope, after all.]
OMG it is! You are so much fun -dies-
If it was really as boring as you say it is then you'd be begging me to come over and kick your ass.
[Because he knows you and as stuffed peacock as you are in your fancy suits and frilly girly drinks, you like a fight just as much as he does. And he doesn't think there are any amount of ladies that would take it from you, either.
But there's no point in elaborating that. They both knew it. It was all just a matter of making him stop being an idiot. That could take all night]
Say what you want. I'll find it eventually. [
because it's possible his mun is having a little too much fun]I'm stronger than anything they can throw at me.
[And if he wasn't, he'd get stronger. Simple as that.]
*squee!* \o/ OMG, thank you. :3 You're fun, too. ^.^
[Sanji huffed a little, trying to still his nervously-beating heart.] You won't find it. You can't even find the galley without help... How the HELL do you think you'd be able to find Nautlius?
[He frowned a little at that. Zoro was strong, yes. He could admit it to himself, even if he'd never say it out loud. Zoro's strength... his drive... amazed and impressed Sanji, though he was loathe to admit that, even to himself. There was even a twinge of jealousy, there. At how confident, Zoro was... how strongly he followed his own convictions, his own dreams. Old man Zeff had spoken of Luffy's "spear of grit", and opened Sanji's eyes, back on the Baratie... but Zoro was the first example of that "grit" he saw. Yet another reason - so he thought - not to let Zoro find this place. There might be one or two swordsmen in Nautilus, he wasn't sure, but... there was no Mihawk. No "World's Greatest Swordsman". Sanji had no idea how Zoro would take that, and he didn't want to find out.]
Che... Well, you're more STUBBORN than most, I'll give you that.
no subject
[And he can find anything if given enough time. After all there's the process of elimination.And the rest of it is bullshit and he doesn't really care to address it right now]
Yeah, I'm stubborn. So you should know you're not going to win this fight.
no subject
Why are you so hell-bent on finding this out, anyway? I would have thought you'd enjoy spending time away from me.
no subject
Because we're nakama. Because whatever we do, we do together. Cut the bullshit, Sanji.
[And because he knows the real reason]
And thank you.
[For trying to spare him. And even if that makes him more vulnerable, so what? There's too much to lose already.]
no subject
[He let out another tired sigh, staring up at nothing, before fixing his gaze at Zoro again. His expression was tired, resigned.] Look... I'm not going to say it's... a walk in the park, where I am. For the most part, it IS calm, but... there are these random reality storms, and the city sometimes has this stupid sense of humor... It's more embarassing than anything, really. And there's always the chance that there could be another rogue Aeon or Deva or something that'll attack us, but...
[Sanji let out a frustrated hiss, looking aside, then fumbled for a cigarette, needing the hit of nicotine to calm him down. After the cigarette was lit, he blew out a stream of smoke, then glanced away again, still not willing to look Zoro in the face.] I'm the only one of us there. The only one from our whole world there, as far as I can tell... and I've been the only one for about a month short of a year, now. I can... I can COPE. I can DEAL with it. If it means none of you have to come here, either.
[He paused, then finally looked at Zoro, his gaze serious.] When you Wake... 'home' doesn't feel real again. You can go back home, but it feels like you're just a puppet in your own body. You have no more control over yourself. You can only just sit and WATCH everything play out in front of you. Your entire life's already been written, from start to finish, and you can't change it. You Ascend enough, you have the power to influence the world, but if you DO... you risk corrupting the world. Causing a flaw. The world would break. I don't really know what would happen, but I'm told it's bad. We in Nautilus... those that Ascend, at least... are supposed to fix the flaws, not cause them.
[He sighed, tapping some ash off his cigarette, and scuffed his toe against the ground, then looked back up at Zoro.] Once you Wake up, you're aware that 'this' is the "real" world... and our home is the dream. Our lives were fake... not real. Which means everything we've struggled for... Sure, they made us who were ARE, but... [He paused, winced, then shook his head a little. He ground his teeth together, a hand clenching into his fist.] We have no more freedom, back home. Our lives aren't really our OWN anymore, back there. And here... [He sucks in a breath, then continues.] Sure, you can make whatever you want appear just by thinking it, but... There's no All Blue. There's no One Piece. ... There's no "Greatest Swordsman". Do you hear what I'm saying, Zoro?
[ooc: hooooo boy. And Sanji TL;DRs again. ^_^;; *chuckle* If you ever -do- consider the Wake, expect to have a varient of this exact scene play out again. *lol* Well, depending on circumstances/other interactions... XD *and double-checks the time* ... Is it Daylight Savings, or something? Watch is giving me one time, computer's giving me another. ._.;]
no subject
Maybe they're just saying shit. Maybe their "home" is just another "game". [Because he knows his home. And he knows his goals. And anyway...]
Whether it's real. Whether it's even true. We're still nakama. And if those goals don't exist we'll get other goals. I can still be the strongest swordsman [Or bender or whatever] there.
Nakamaship isn't about sacrifice [Well okay, he's hoping you don't know about Kuma exactly. He's heard there are different times and he's really hoping this gambit plays because he's coming and he at least wants to you to feel reasonably okay about it]
it's about sticking together.
So suck it up, I'm coming. [He's run out of wise statements. This is the kind of conversation Luffy usually has, damnit. And he's usually better at it.]
[ooc:It is daylight savings time and I am considering it I will probably even do it because your Sanji is epic and I luff him so T__T Damn iiit. But this is good. Also, ranndomly I don't know if this applies buut I am also open to ZoSan if it goes that way naturally. But I love nakamaship too. Just saying. -coff-]
more and more TL;DR! (going to bed at this point is the only way to shut Sanji up. x.x)
[Sanji frowned, looking away as he chewed on the end of his cigarette.] I've been back home, Zoro. I know how fake it all feels. That's not a lie.
[This Sanji is actually only up to the end of the Skypeia arc. They haven't left Sky Island, yet, but they have defeated Enel. So Sanji doesn't know about your
stupidheroicattempt to sacrifice yourself. Yet. (though Sanji's done some stupidly sacrificial stuff before, already... tossing Luffy + Nami out of the path of an avalanche, kicking Usopp out of the way of Enel's lightning bolt...)][And despite how 'good' or 'not good' Zoro is at these kind of things... he WAS good at it, and Sanji was struck silent. The words rang true, and cut through all possible rebuttals of his, cut through all his pre-built arguments. Damn it, Zoro was just too good at cutting. The words cut straight to his heart, and when Zoro said he was coming, Sanji could feel the last of his defences falling away. He closed his eyes and pressed his hand to his eyes again, feeling the burning of tears on their corners. He had made some acquaintances in Nautilus, even some he'd consider friends... but none of them were his nakama. After nearly a year... were they finally going to come? If even just one... Was he finally not going to be so lonely, any more?]
[He hissed in frustration at his own show of "weakness", cursing himself inwardly for breaking down in front of Zoro like this.] damn it... damn it..
.o(I've missed all you idiots so damn much...! How can you say that... so strongly...? Thank you...)
[ooc: Whee-hee-hee! *giggles* Okay... it's 2am according to me, so I'm starting to get a little sleepy-loopy (not to mention giddy with this!), so I think I'm gonna call it a night... but this has been FUUUUN... and we can always continue later. X3 But OMG thank yoooooou~! I'm always so worried in how I come across writing Sanji, so to hear from fellow OP RPers that you like, I'm haaaappy! \o/ *twirls* And holy smokes, yes~! I looooove ZoSan. XD If it goes that way, naturally, through RP of course. Gotta build it up realistically. If it happens. But if it doesn't, I love nakamaship just the same. :3 *equally sheepish cough* ^.^;
[And for you amusement... the city sometimes gives "gifts" to it's residents... and Sanji has a little set theme of stuff I have planned... and THIS was the second one I requested. XD (actual post of it happening here). Just for irony/amusement's sake. ^_^;
[AWESOME meeting you, and we'll continue tomorrow?]
Hee. Goodnight!
[He'd go on but it seems that Sanji's accepting it. He can read it in the lines of his body. A different kind of tension. Accepting what he doesn't want to accept, but relief, too, it seemed, judging by the tears. He feels relieved himself. Of course he would come anyway despite Sanji's objections but it's better if Sanji doesn't feel guilty for him being there. It's Zoro's own damn decision after all.
Though the little "damn its" almost undo him and he knows that Sanji hates losing. Especially to him. It would probably be for the better to just nobly ignore them.
But screw that. He's not a pirate so he can go out and be noble.
Instead have a grin and Zoro reaching over to ruffle your hair]
You're adorable when you cry.
[If you don't wanna kick his ass after that line, you're not the Sanji he knows]
[ooc: Yes! Tomorrow! The gift is pretty damn amusing. XD And it's 5 am here. Ahahahahahaha. >>: But this was tons of fun and I can't wait for more! Have a good night!]
Good afternoon!
[Well, guilt + Sanji seems to be a common thing. He'd still feel guilty for 'luring' you to the city, and any upset you might have at being stuck there. Not that anything that happens here, in D_M, can be carried over into other games, but Sanji'd still have twinges of guilt. Wondering if just the longing was enough to bring a crewmate over. But at least he's not arguing the point any more.]
[Sanji's eyes widen, then his cheeks flush at the ruffle and the comment... going from embarassed to humiliated to angry in point-two seconds. A leg whips up with the intent on uppercutting Zoro underneath the jaw.] I am NOT the fuck "adorable", and I wasn't crying! [Blatant lies.]
[ooc: Hello again! :3]
Yo. =D
Nah, I guess not. Not with those eyebrows.
[Ooc: Hi! Btwww... I don't know if you're on Plurk or AIM or anything but I'd totally like to swap contacts. Esp since when I do join this game
damn youwe're going to be in closer conversation. -wiggles eyebrows]no subject
You're one to talk, kelp-head!
[The one foot still braced on Wado, he jumped into the air, pushing off the sword a little, and turning around mid-air to kick with his other leg.]
[ooc: Hiiiii~! *SQUEE!* XD Crewmate GET! I honestly didn't set out to recruit, just have fun, but yaaaaaaaaay!!! \o/ Reserves aren't open 'til the 10th, and apps aren't open to submit 'til the 17th, but you can take the time to look over the game [main comm + logs are how it's played through] here, lurk a bit, see how you like it. I don't have Plurk (I should... everyone else on the Wake seems to have it), but I do have AIM. Catch me at "Bart Vin" (space included. It's an oooold SN, before I chose my 'permanent' net-handle). If you have MSN messenger, I'm also on uftaki@hotmail.com all the time. *giggles excitedly*]
no subject
You call that a kick? What did you do, spend all your time cooking sausages and flirting?
[The more stress Sanji works off the better he'll feel about this whole damn thing. And after that happened Zoro could bum a good meal off of him and get a nap and--more importantly--nap without anyone bitching because he was taking up half the deck. Yep. He had it all planned out]
[ooc: tbh, I hadn't intended to join anything either. I'd just wanted to play with Zoro. Buut it seems fun. I've already looked at the rule and things for the comm (since I am sneaky like that). I'm not on MSN really but I go by night mare chan on AIM. Also my old handle XD but I don't change much orz]
no subject
[He actually gets a rough grin at that.] The ladies in Nautilus have all been angels... So sweet and charming and so receptive! [Yeah. Imagine THAT! His luck's actually improved a little, in the city.
Partly because I'm a little shy to/afraid of going TOO pervy on anyone, so he's reined in a little... more like his flirting earlier in the series, than the total perv of later bits.Sanji aims another kick side-on at Zoro.] And I cook FAR more stuff than simple "sausages!"[ooc: I don't change much, either. ^^; Stick with what works. Though I probably should get a Plurk, just so I can keep UP with everyone else. c.c;]
no subject
[He's not even going to comment on the receptive ladies part because to Sanji every lady is an angel and receptive to him could mean anything from a smile to a smack upside the head.
you can perv on me all you likeIn any case Zoro blocks the kick with Shusui and casually aims Wado near Sanji's (temporarily) unguarded side]Good, because I'm not in the mood for sausages. [
yet] Bring anything else?[Hungry marimo is hungry. Do your job you damn cook]
no subject
[Actual, honest-to-goodness hugs and even a few kisses to the cheeks! And Sanji'll have to go through a lotta development and soul-searching, and a good stint of denial (I get a feeling, IF this happens there, he'll be dunked in the Nile QUITE a bit!) before he starts getting pervy thoughts about Zoro there.]
[Sanji dived into a sidewards roll, getting back up onto his feet a few feet away.] I can make anything... I'm surprised your unrefined palate can tell the difference, though. You just GULP everything down!
no subject
Don't need one if everything tastes good.
[It's always better to butter up the chef when you're hungry. And anyway, it's true. He slides both swords home at the same time, enjoying the quiet his of steel before cocking his head at him]
So? Got anything or are you just going to stand there talking all day?
no subject
You're supposed to savour the food, dumbass. [He sighed and shook his head, turning and gesturing for Zoro to follow him.] But fine, fine... I'll whip up something for you. What do you want?
no subject
Sake. And anything else you wanna make.
[He's not picky but he does have priorities.]
no subject
Well, as Luffy doesn't seem to be here, you won't have that problem, then.
no subject
no subject
Like I said, I don't know. But it's annoying.

...
[Great, now she's staring. Staring quite intently, just trying to figure out what's meant to be so attractive about him. After a few moments, she sighs, frustrated at failing to find a single feature she would deem as 'cute'.
Even though her mun can see a lot.]It's impossible! You have absolutely zero cuteness!
no subject
What do I care?
[Seriously, go find someone else to stare creepily at]
no subject
[Because you really only need one witch giving you a hard time.]

Tch. It's too late. Apparently my mun was enabled. [She has no self control at all]
