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]

[Hello, Zoro. You get a scoff. (trying to cover up the fact that he's happy to see more of his crewmates about, even if it's in this place.)] Che... who in their right mind would call you good looking? If you mun even sent you anywhere... would you even FIND the place?

... and what did you call me, dumbass swordsman?!

[He pouts.] What would such a charming lady see in a piece of seaweed like you?

[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!

[Sanji would gladly accept a lady's attentions! (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?
spiral_brow: (angry - pissed snarl)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
(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?

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Another dry snort, Zoro.] As if you'd even be able to touch me.

[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.]
spiral_brow: (serious - unreadable)

[and I TL;DR with him... sorry. ^.^; Sanji tends to ramble on me. c.c;]

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji made EVERYTHING complicated. Sanji watches Zoro with cool eyes, quirking an eyebrow faintly after a moment after no hint of action from the swordsman. That eyebrow raises a little higher at his comment.]

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.

Eh?! What kind of weirdo would think an idiot swordsman like you is good looking?!

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji's brows knit, and his frown deepened. No. Hell no... this wasn't what he wanted! He wanted his nakama to remain (relatively) safe and happy in their home world! Unaware that their world was a 'dream', their fates already all set out for them... nothing you could do to change it. He didn't want them Waking... feeling how fake it felt, when you returned back home... possibly facing the end of their dreams. There was no world to map, no Grand Line to sail, no One Piece to claim.]

.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.]

Physical weapons were useless against it, mosshead. Only way to beat that thing was to Bend it out of existance. [And yeah, he's not explaining that. He's said to much as it is. Though a cold shudder of fear runs through him at the thought of a second Aeon attacking them. True, the city has faced off against stuff like that before, way before he arrived there, even... but that didn't mean it got any easier. If anything, it got HARDER.]

[His shoulders square up, and he fixes Zoro with a firm look.] Not telling.

[Does Perona have to get the bear suit, again? Because she will get it, if she has to.]

...

[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!
spiral_brow: (smoke - act cool)

I really should be in bed, but this is -fun-, dangit... XD

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji folded his arms across his chest, looking away.] Who said I'm facing anything, idiot swordsman. Didn't I just say we beat the thing? Nothing left there to worry about...

[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.]
spiral_brow: (snarky - unimpressed)

*squee!* \o/ OMG, thank you. :3 You're fun, too. ^.^

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I don't want you cramping my style... or spreading your lazy, Marimo germs all over the place. I'm getting along quite well without having to come find you every five minutes. And I'd be the one kicking your ass, shithead!

[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.
spiral_brow: (angry - pissed snarl)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji bit off a hissed curse, and glared at Zoro, tensing again.] If you want a fight, I can sure as hell give one to you.

Why are you so hell-bent on finding this out, anyway? I would have thought you'd enjoy spending time away from me.
spiral_brow: (serious - unreadable)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay... that killed all the fight he had in him... leaving him looking lost and stricken. Damn it... how was he supposed to argue against that? He couldn't. He knew he couldn't, and Zoro knew it too, and damn him... Using his NAME, too... Sanji let out a frustrated hiss, pressing the heel of his palm against tightly-shut eyes.] Damn you... Damn you, you shitty ass... You're not playing fair...

[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. ._.;]
spiral_brow: (hurt - wince)

more and more TL;DR! (going to bed at this point is the only way to shut Sanji up. x.x)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh... Sanji would have trounced you if you pulled a Luffy, there. Be thankful you didn't, Zoro.]

[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 stupid heroic attempt 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?]
spiral_brow: (angry - rage yell - Dumbass!)

Good afternoon!

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sanji frowned in annoyance. He hadn't considered that, but...] Too many have gone to their "homes", and came back with the same results, to write it off. This world is supposed to be the "real" one.

[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]
spiral_brow: (angry - pissed snarl)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-04 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Might be an uphill climb with that, but... possible. Sanji growled as his kick was blocked, eyes narrowing further at the insult to his eyebrows.]

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*]
spiral_brow: (fight - high kick)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-05 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji raises a brow at the black blade, landing back on the ground with both feet.] That's a new sword... You're not from the same point I'm at.

[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;]
spiral_brow: (snarky - unimpressed)

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-05 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji let out a dry snort.] You don't look that much older. And I bet I can still go toe-to-toe with you.

[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!

[W-well... at least he appreciated the food? He was surprised he could taste it at all. But... the flattery does its work. Sanji feels a little flush of pride, and calms down a little.]

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?
namigational: (ooh pick me pick me)

[personal profile] namigational 2012-11-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay. I'm sure you'll get lost on your way to the game and end up somewhere else.

[personal profile] spiral_brow 2012-11-11 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Why was he not surprised? But... okay, fine. Sake? A rice dish, then, to go with that... and some sushi. Perhaps some green beans or edamame on the side. That sounded good.]

Well, as Luffy doesn't seem to be here, you won't have that problem, then.
