[IT IS RAINING BOOZE

So of course Zoro is out in it. Mostly setting up barrels to collect it because lying out on deck with your mouth open is only entertaining for so long before you realize you're sticky and smell very minty. He totally did it for about half an hour, though.

At least he won't be pinched, on account of always wearing his haramaki and the green sash from Himmelen...

After the rain passes, though, Zoro is on deck or in the crow's nest a lot, looking for the adventure his captain is hoping for. Craning his neck and straining his eye may not help much, but he's doing what he can, really.]

14th

[meatthefuture]

Ahh! [clambers up into the crow's nest with someone saying ow behind him] Stop pinching me, you bastards!

[and there is disembodied snickering]

[yourotherleft]

[why, by the ping to my haki there must be a Luffy approaching...

Zoro pulls the trap door open just before he gets there.]

Those things still bothering you?

3/12 | Evening

[judgementscythe]

[Finally with Sanji's advice she finally figured out just what everyone was talking about when they mentioned "the Nav" and made her way from the Bright Shield to the deck of the Million Merrily Bow around her neck and the Judgement Scythe gripped firmly in hand.

She looks around at the people around her on the deck of the ship, it looks like she'll be stuck with these people for a while]

I should introduce myself, I am Lorelai.

[meatthefuture]

[grins as she finally makes her way through] Yo, Lai! Did you bring anything neat with you? [he watches her curiously as he chews on a bone long left over from dinner]

[judgementscythe]

[She's still annoyed by Sanji's flirting and you can hear it in her voice] My stuff, who are you.

[letteropener]

Good evening, and welcome aboard.

[The serene, peaceful voice comes not from any of the people on the deck, but rather from above. A unicorn with wings is sprawled comfortably out on the yardarm, smiling down.]

[judgementscythe]

[Lorelai looks up and sees the Unicorn.]

Um, Hello.

[seakingbait]

[She's greeted with the smiling face of a green-haired woman riding a giant bubble. Her light pink dress rides far past her feet and hangs daintily off the side of the bubble.]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Keimi, the crew's navigator and seamstress.

I... think we talked a little bit before.

[judgementscythe]

[she thinks she recognizes the voice]

I think you were about to help me before we were interrupted by that crass annoyance. I guess it worked out the same way regardless of his interruption.

[serving_love]

[AND HERE'S THIS GUY.

There to meet her like he said he would be. He quite literally spins right up to her, much like a tornado.

Please excuse the hearts spewing everywhere.]

LORELAI-CHWAAAAAAAAAAAAN~!!!!

[And then he instantly swoops into a bow and produces a rose out of nowhere that he holds up for her.]

Welcome aboard! If there's anything I can do to make your stay here easier, please let me know! A home-cooked meal, some company in the evening hours beneath the starlit sky, perhaps just a shitty friend to talk to, I'm here for you~!

[He looks up out of his bow to meet her eyes, and his voices drops a notch or two, some of the flaily-ness fading away.]

The name's Sanji. Your knight from earlier, when we spoke through the journals.

[judgementscythe]

[what is wrong with these people.

she looks down at the floor of the deck and shakes her head and she recovers and just glares at him for a second before she forces out a thank you]

Thanks for the help.

OTA 3/13

[letteropener]

[For no reason other than her own amusement, Celestia is on the deck, processing a startling amount of seawater through a impossibly fine sieve of magical energy. As the purified seawater falls away, she whisks away what's left into a bucket of swirling colors that looks like liquid rainbow.]

[Actually, that's exactly what it is, or at least, liquid rainbow coloring.]

[seakingbait]

[Keimi gasps when she catches sight of the rainbow bucket.]

Celestia-chin... this is amazing.

[letteropener]

You should see the proper Weather Factory in Canterlot. They produce rainbow color worth the name, although I think I have done all right for myself with the tools I have. [Which is to say, none.]

[meatthefuture]

[he plops crosslegged in front of her watching her and what she's doing with a quiet seriousness. The colors are pretty interesting, but he's more interested in watching her]

[letteropener]

Is something on your mind, Luffy? [And if so, does she really want to know? Well, she asked anyway...]

3/13-3/14 OTA

[serving_love]

[UNFORTUNATELY FOR SANJI, he's out on deck doing something or other when the downpour initially starts. Though he doesn't quite notice anything different about the rain -- not until a minty scent reaches his nose.

At that point he frowns and sticks out a hand, collecting a small pool of green liquid in his palm and sniffing suspiciously at it.

Then he sighs.]

What, not cold enough for a shitty blizzard this year?

[Mutter grumble to one in particular. He shakes his hand off, finding it just as weird as last year that despite smelling (and probably tasting) like mint, the rain isn't syrupy or sticky at all.

ANYWAY, he hurries into the galley, shaking his head as he goes to get rid of any excess water. Might as well make some warm drinks, and perhaps he can use some of that shitty green rain as flavoring...?

He hasn't realized yet that it's pretty booze-y, too.

...And he also hasn't realized that the green rain has done quite a number on his pale yellow hair. Oi.]

3/13

[yourotherleft]

[you'd better believe he noticed the alcohol right away. This is totally better than mint snow, you bet your ass, cook. This is why Zoro is swishing rather hastily into the galley, looking for anything to collect the booze-rain]

Oi, cook, what do we got that we can...

[the sight of his hair stops him short. And there's a rather abruptly-stifled snort of laughter.]

Don't you think matching my look is going a bit far?

[serving_love]

[There's a bowl half-filled with green liquid and several empty mugs on the counter while Sanji stirs something in a pot on the stove. He glances over his shoulder curiously because Zoro sounds like he's in a hurry, which isn't generally the case when he comes into the galley to bug Sanji.

Both the question and the look on his face on his face have Sanji's eyes narrowing.]

Who's matching your shitty look? [What, just because he has a green tie on today?] I ain't got no interest in being a walking fashion disaster, marimo.

3/14

[meatthefuture]

[sneak sneak sneak up behind. Moving slowly and softly, dampening his haki even so not even his presence could be felt. Or at least he hopes not. He stalks up behind Sanji, holding his breath, like stalking a wild animal

and then]

GOTCHA!

[pounces and then LICKS the minty rain off the back of your neck. He may have gotten into one of Zoro's barrels... all the way]

[serving_love]

[Luffy must dampen his haki really damn well because Sanji doesn't sense him at all! He's too busy chopping vegetables at the counter, humming lightly under his breath, and really it's lucky that he drops the knife in surprise when there's suddenly a shitty tongue on his NECK.]

—GAH!! What the shit?!

[A shiver runs up his spine in a alksjdhLKAJSDHSKAJSHADKS kind of way and he whirls around, slapping a hand to the back of his neck.]

Oi, the hell are you doing?! If you're hungry, just wait five minutes, Luffy, geez!

3/13

[seakingbait]

[Keimi whines at the sight of Sanji, quietly hoping all this green junk falling from the sky doesn't stain anything. She's going to be washing for a week...]

Sanji-chin, you need to get out of those clothes.

[That was the best way to phrase that.]

[serving_love]

[Spins around to face her, eyes wide.]

Eh?? Keimi-chan wants me to strip down?!

[WELL OKAY IF YOU INSIST.

Eagerly moves to undo one or two of the buttons on his shirt~]

OTA

[judgementscythe]

[Once the rain starts Lorelai pretty much hides in quarters with her head in her notes. If she's going to be stuck in the rain she might as well keep going through her research.

The entire time her mood is even surlier than usual due to the random pinching that keeps happening leaving her swatting out at random]

LEAVE ME ALONE DAMMIT!

[Starting on the 15th with the rain gone Lorelai spends her days helping out with the daily tasks and then training on deck. You can always find her swinging her weapons and fists going through martial exercises and always willing to spar. Her nights are spent in the galley drinking`from the collection of minty goodness and almost relaxed]
