Locked to Nami and Sanji

[lil_eggplant]

[Sanji feels the cold first, and considering he'd just limped out of a steaming kitchen not five minutes prior (because some jackass insisted he go to bed and stop making a mess of things), his subconscious has trouble grasping the sensation. It's only when a brisk wind draws along his back that he notes how hard and rocky his bed is, and that he can hear crickets in the distance.

He opens his eyes... and proceeds to freak the hell out]

O-oi, what is this?! [This is not a boat, he's pretty damn sure of that. And even worse, he can't spot the sea. In fact, all he sees are... what he assumes to be mountains, but he's not sure because he's never seen them this close before um what the hell did Zeff throw him overboard D8]

Geezer!! What did you do!?

[mikanchibi]

[Whoever you are, you're very loud. It's the voice that first stirs Nami out of her heavy sleep, and she mutters sleepily before curling into an even tighter ball. It's too cold.] Go 'way.

[...no, wait. It's cold. Aimless blind searching for a blanket to pull up is met with plunging her hand into a thin layer of snow and she jerks upright with a loud yelp.]

Aah! Bellemere-sannn~! [...when in doubt, call for your mother?]

[lil_eggplant]

[... Er.

There's a girl in the snow. Somehow, this strikes Sanji as more odd than being dumped by the mountain side.

And just seeing her alerts Sanji to his own state of dress - that neither she nor he should be out in the frickin snow where they can catch all kinds of crazy diseases. He thinks. If nothing else, definitely a cold.]

Um. [He offers up that helpful noise, still staring. Life is not making sense today]

Locked to Nami, Sanji, and Zoro

[lil_eggplant]

[And so, after much consideration, the two children have decided to join forces and... walk. In some direction. Most likely not towards the mountains for self-preservation reasons.]

[gavemyword]

[If you guys were hoping to find some kind of magic mountain fairy, try not to be too disappointed by the trollish figure looming in the distance. Arms crossed over a bare chest, thin clumps of snow collecting on his shoulders, Zoro's green head would be hard to miss at this distance. While solemnly projecting the dignity of a wounded soldier standing guard over the bodies of his fallen comrades, he was still hopelessly and irredeemably lost.

Not that you'd know it to look at him.

He spies the two children a little ways off and frowns, but makes no move to confront them.]

[lil_eggplant]

[Oh, tiny children see you, Zoro, probably staring blatantly. Sanji comes to a stop, turning to Nami]

Oi. Nami, do you see that guy? [Looking back in the man's direction] Think he can help us to a town?

[Not that he really wants to go asking some random shithead for directions, but if nothing else, he really wants to get his new companion some shoes]

House 6 Free for All

[lil_eggplant]

[There are children in your house, Straw Hats, most likely confused and unsure of these new developments. What do?]








[ooc: You can specify which one you want to thread with - Nami, or Sanji. Or both at the same time, if it suits your fancy. Just tag them. B|]

both of the brats (also a placeholder)

[hiken_ace]

[Well, Ace did promise he would visit the Straw Hats house every now and then. Now seemed like a perfectly good time. Never mind he was losing his mind at Marco's house all by himself there. So excuse his temporary lapse in judgement of just barging into their house (hey, he treated it as home and got used to it).]

Oi, anybody here? Thought I'd drop by and say hi.

[mikanchibi]

[Sup, did you say something? You're right in front of the damn door, mystery adult. Move aside, Nami wants out!]

[lil_eggplant]

[Oh look, an adult.

Sanji is just on his way out of the kitchen, pausing in the living room when the strange man with no shirt barges in. He's not familiar, and while Sanji can not be called a shy child, his new environment coupled with the nagging sensation to find Zeff does not lend itself to conversation.

So he just scowls]

BOTH. GIMME.

[tanukipwnt]

[Don't mind the giant reindeer working outside of the house, young'uns 8|a He'll just be clearing the results of latest snowfall from around two lone trees, shoveling snow with his large antlers to create clean circles of dirt at their bases.]

[ooc; idk if you wanted to thread them both at the same time or have a separate thread with each; either is okay by me! o/]

[lil_eggplant]

[Tiny chibi has plastered his face against a window, staring in awe at the massive beast shoveling snow.

Epic. This is their pet? What is that? A moose? It could probably lift the entire house with those massive racks.

Which is why, uneasy or no in this new place, Sanji ends up sneaking outside to get a better look]

[mikanchibi]

[OMG what is that. Having been through the house first and at least found her mama, Nami stares from a window much the same as the mini-chef a little while ago.

Only she feels more confident with Bellemere in the house, so she'll eventually try sneaking out the back door to watch a little more closely. Besides, he's looking after a mikan tree! He can't be bad.]

Tag ALL the children!

[seakingbait]

[Hello kiddies. Don't mind the wheelchair-bound mermaid making soup in the kitchen. Today was a pretty lax day, she figures she can handle making a little meal for herself and the crew. She hops up out of her chair for a moment to stir the pot, humming lightly to herself.]

[mikan_chibi]

[Nami doens't go into the kitchen because Nami is tired and Nami is wrapped in a blanket in the living room which is the most awesome thing ever, okay.

...but she might hum along after a second. Even if Keimi can't hear her, she's easily spotted the second the mermaid leaves the kitchen for any reason.]

Re: Tag ALL the children!

[lil_eggplant]

[There's no way Sanji won't ease himself into the kitchen eventually - because he's conflicted and confused, and grumpy. And maybe a tiny bit lonely and scared, though these are not feelings he's about to admit to anyone, least of all himself. Being in a kitchen is the best way to calm his nerves before planning an escape, anyway. After all, Nami will be okay with Bellemere. It's fine if he leaves.

These are the thoughts parading in his mind when he walks inside, and then stops short with a sharp inhale of breath once he realizes the kitchen is occupied. Whoops.]

oh come on nobody wants just one of them

[mikandelinquent]

[Bellemere is unsuspecting and hanging up laundry in the meanwhile outside, not yet realizing the horror of the INVADING CHILDREN. She's been worried, yes--never not worried when someone's taken--but she's calm and collected. She knows she can't do much until they're returned.

She hums a tune, entirely relaxed for the day with a cigarette hanging on the corner of her lips.]

Both--with permission from both of the nap-ees

[coolportaljumper]

[Though Sanji had disappeared not too long after taking Yugo home, the young Eliatrope had been adapting to life in Luceti with relative ease. Concerned as he was, he'd been assured that the two pirates would return one of these days. It was a matter of being alert--watching, waiting.

He did just that, and kept a sharp eye out for a trace of them or their invisible signatures. They did return, as promised...only...

smaller.

Pardon him as he sticks by the sidelines for a little while, watching carefully and keeping himself hidden. With that hat and a chirpy bird, that isn't a very easy task...]

Two chibis, please. Screaming is optional. 8|a

[soulpowered]

[Having a soundproof music room might be a catch twenty-two in situations like these - namely because it leaves him unaware his nakama are back. ...sorta.

He's in there for a little while, working on some new music material, but if neither are up for exploring the rooms in the house it won't be long before he's out, either!]

zoro gets +5 to his masochism skill if he gets both brats

[gavemyword]

[Your impromptu babysitter is napping on the couch, snoring loudly. Being kidnapped and thrown into weird situations kind of loses its charm after a while. 8|a

Secretly, he's watching the brats and making sure they don't sneak off and drown themselves or whatever it is kids do when left to their own devices.]

BOTH, OBVS

[alabastajewel]

[It had been hard not to rush right in when Nami and Sanji returned to the house, but Vivi hadn't wanted to overwhelm them. It must be confusing and frightening enough to begin with, finding themselves here with no memory of this place or its residents--with one exception, of course. It was only right for Nami to see her mother first off, and Sanji had trailed along after.]

[So, Vivi waits in the living room for them to come to her in their own time, a book in her hands that she can't concentrate enough to actually read. A part of her worries at how well they'll cope and how long this will last, but most of what she feels is overwhelming joy at having them returned safely, and at seeing Zoro again, too. Best birthday present ever.]

Re: BOTH, OBVS

[lil_eggplant]

[Sanji will visit the living room soon enough... but maybe not for the reason Vivi had intended.

For you see, he's walking very quietly - in fact, easing his way across the floor by tip-toe, head swiveling in many direction as he makes a beeline for the door. The powerful urge to stay has finally given ground to the equally powerful drive to leave, and find Zeff. Even if these people call him nakama. Even if he wants to make sure Nami will be okay.

He can't just abandon the geezer, not after everything they went through. And what he did for him.

But just before he breaks free, Vivi comes into his line of sight - and the boy stops in his tracks, looking a mix of defiant and guilty for having been caught.

>_>]

[mikanchibi]

[It will be a while before she sees Nami-- mothers and bath times abound, and then she was put to bed because trekking across all that snow is tiring. But she only knows Bellemere, and Sanji doesn't know anyone at all.

So the door to Nami's bedroom creaks open some time later. There is a small redhead peeking through suspiciously, looking for movement.]

And much later.

[mikanchibi]

[To be honest, she did sleep a little bit. She was exhausted and bed was cozy and Bellemere is here, and as long as Bellemere is here she can cope with all the other people in the house.

She wakes up some time when the house is quiet and has that shock of unfamiliarity all over again-- this isn't her room! This isn't her island!--and rolling over tugs at wings that still make her nervous, and so Nami's wide awake. And remembers that she didn't manage to check on Sanji before after all. (There was a woman with blue hair in the way. She was nice.) So now's as good a time as any-- she'll just tiptoe through the house and look for her fellow mountain traveller.

She couldn't say why she went directly to Sanji's room without knowing the way. She doesn't even think about it. But here she is, sneaking into your room. *_*]

[lil_eggplant]

[Lucky for her, Sanji hasn't attempted sleep yet. It's not wings or unfamiliarity that keep him awake -- just thoughts. Lots of thoughts, piling in and crowding his mind.

But when he hears his door open, he immediately pops into a sitting position]

Nami! [There is a clear note of relief in his voice. Now, at least, if he does leave, he'll have a chance to say goodbye.]
