high_seas | Bubble Trouble

[If he hadn't just seen Dog's post earlier about the weather being "bubbly", Sanji would've been a lot more confused when he stepped out onto the deck just after midnight on the 1st after giving the galley a good scrub down. As it is, he just pauses for a beat, then rolls his eyes and drags a hand through his hair as he heads for the men's cabin. He's sleepy and his mind is distracted, half thinking about how glad he is to have the shitty sling off (though his shoulder is still sore and bandaged) and half thinking about what he's gonna make for breakfast tomorrow, and since bubbles are just...bubbles...he's not too concerned about avoiding them.

He's in the middle of a big ol' yawn when he walks smack into one. And there's the foam and shit and he has a minor WTF? moment, but he's tired and not paying attention and so he kind of...doesn't notice. What happens.

Nope, instead he just falls into his hammock, still in his button-up shirt and everything! Though the buttons are straining a bit now, eheh. As soon as he kicks his shoes off, he's asleep.

AFTER HE FIGURES SHIT OUT (aka after Zoro comes to bed), feel free to find Sanji whenever and wherever on board! For the first day or so, he'll probably be freaking out a little. Yeah, okay, so he's technically been a girl before -- in Nami-san's body and also that Ranma kid's way back when -- but those bodies weren't his. And he really doesn't appreciate having his masculinity yanked away from him! ALSO HIS SHIRTS DON'T FIT.

But he'll get over it eventually, though it helps when he remembers that shit never lasts too long in this world and it's fine, just because he has (some really nice, actually) breasts doesn't mean he's not still a man! ...You know. Inside.

SO YEAH. GENSWAP SANJI, HAVE AT!

[A-3/30][After having shipped off from Serenes Lorelai requested the crew join her together in the galley. As people enter they see her fiddling with the shard she found on the boat during their fight against the pirates.

I feel like I can trust these people, they stand up and care for each other and I think as much as some of these people seem like childish idiots I think they are my best chance out of here.

She's quick and straight to the point]

If you'll allow it I'd like to officially join you all as a member of your crew.

[B-4/1][The morning of the first Lorelai wakes up and makes her way up to the deck to do her usual morning training sessions. The strange bubbles floating around not really registering after the booze rain of the previous month.

I mean really, it can't be any worse than last months rain and pinching can it? It's actually kind of pretty

She begins going through the motions with her scythe, switching form and stance as she moves across the rear of the deck. Midway through she ends up stabbing through one of the bubbles. No sooner does this happen than her legs suddenly turn into fins and she immediately falls flat on her face unable to balance in any way. She's stuck flopping around and dragging herself around the deck by her hands.]

FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUUCK! A LITTLE HELP PLEASE.

[C-4/2-4/5] It takes a little over a day for Lorelai to have any balance at all moving around with a fishtail. During this time she spends most of her time drinking in the Galley and pretty regularly falling on her face over and over again.

Please don't let this last]

[on the first he's going to be Usopp all day. But he's not going to be too much different from normal except for playing with highly explosive chemicals at one point so expect a large bang around noon. There may be a birthday party that day, too, or at least a cake.

After that he's going to be popping bubbles like mad, being various nakama... Zoro, Sanji, Robin as well as other people and a plethora of animals. (if there is any preference, let me know) on 4/5 he is going to spend the day as Luffyko. Pick a date for shenaigans and requests if you've got 'em!]

[The crew appears to have a new addition today -- a tall, regal woman with hair that looks very suspiciously similar to a certain pony princess's mane and tail. Celestia popped a bubble, and this is the result.]

[She's doing what anypony would do in her situation -- experimenting with walking on two feet and the limits of this new body.]

[After a bad run-in with a bubble, Keimi has lost her fish tail and become a harpy. She now has long green feathery wings on the backs of her arms, and two bird legs with impressive talons. The bubble also happened to shift her personality, just a little bit. Her temperament has changed, and her bubbly attitude has been replaced with a more aggressive one. To her, she has always been this way.

She can still be found in her workshop working on orders, or making food in the galley. She may also be sitting in the nooks and crannies of the ship's ceiling, or up in the crow's nest. Or, if you're seeing her around dinner, she'll be swooping down into the ocean to pull fish out with her large talons. Mmm, fish dinner.]

Before:

[he was doing so well. He had managed to avoid even brushing up against a bubble for days. Haki helped, a lot. Zoro was feeling pretty good about his skills, though he figured out after the first two days that as long as the bubbles existed, this bullshit would go on. They showed no signs of disappearing, so he kept his guard up.

Until today.

Today Zoro climbs out of the crow's nest, mid-morning, after doing some scouting, and about halfway down the rigging decides to let go and drop down the rest of the way, like he usually does. But as he falls, a bubble just floats into his path and there's no way to avoid it, he doesn't even see it until he hears the pop and feels the wash of foam.

Instead of landing in a crouch on the deck as usual, a much shorter Zoro thuds onto his ass with the swords clattering on top of him. Drowning in pants and sash, he lets out the longest, most savage stream of nasty cusswords in the most adorable little child voice.

Yep, he's ten again. Himself, but child-sized. Again. Fuck he hates this so much. If you'll excuse him, he's going to go trudge off to the men's cabin and hide for the rest of the day.]

After:

[once the effects of the bubbles wear off, for everyone, Zoro will be more visibly around - but sulking. Embarrassed about pretty much everything, and he handles embarrassment poorly. Clearing the air with the cook is a priority, but otherwise, he'll just be doing his job, standing watch just as much if not more than during the first five days of the month, using all that time alone to think.

That is, if he can get any time alone.]

[AND ONWARD WE GO.

Sanji sure is glad he kicked his Keimi-made jeans off and slipped into a pair of boxers before going to bed, because apparently sometime during the night he shifted back into male form (THANK FUCK) and that probably would've been...uncomfortable...

The shirt he's wearing is Zoro's, at least. Keimi-chan might not let him wear them during the day, but at night he figures it doesn't matter. The baggier the better.

But anyway.

The pure relief that flows through him the following morning is almost overwhelming. It takes him a few minutes to realize what happened, though. When he first blinks awake, he goes through his usual routine of "wonder why he's by himself --> oh yeah, fuck this world --> blearily roll out of the hammock and shuffle off to the bathroom --> pee --> ...wait hold on."

Whiiiich is about when he figures things out.

If anyone's wondering why there's cheering and whooping coming from the bathroom this morning, it's because Sanji's got his dick back. 8|

AFTER THAT, and also after giving himself a moment to deal with that whole overwhelming relief thing, he slips back out and pulls on a pair of sweatpants before heading to the galley. It's one of those days where he can't even be bothered to get completely dressed. Whatever, he can do it later. Right now he just wants to cook up a storm and make a big ol' breakfast because thank shitty fuck the nightmare is over.

Part of him wants to go find Zoro...but the part of him that wakes up annoyed every morning figures Zoro will find him. He'll just focus on getting the coffee ready.

AFTER THE 6TH, he'll settle back into his usual routine and be in a much less pissy mood overall. Hit him up for whatever you want!]

4/1 - 4/5
