[ Action ] .044

[markofthebrave]

[Should you be passing by the bridge between the clinic and the Item Shop on this fine, finally-a-break-from-the-heat afternoon, you will notice that there has been a certain change in the landscape. A large wall, seemingly made out of one solid chunk of earth has appeared by the riverbank and painted white. At varying points in the day there may also be some spheres, pyramids, inverted pyramids appearing beside the wall... and that white wall is on its way to becoming multicolored.

There by the wall is a large sheet and on it rest pretty much every container of water-soluble paint found in the Item Shop, mainly strong primary colors. There are balloons and small buckets and bowls, and just about everything you could want in order to throw paint at a white wall.

Random passerby, what do you do? Continue on your way and hope not to get splashed with mud, water, or paint? Stop to wonder at this strange work of 'art?' Or if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, there does seem to be more than enough paint...]

[She's a little surprised to hear a voice--she did not feel someone nearby. What was up with that?

And someone using her name. A voice she didn't recognize. That? Was not a good thing, in her opinion.]

Okay, if you're a ghost, I'm so going home.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Oi, of course I'm not a ghost! [He doesn't sound angry when he says it. Just put out. That she doesn't recognize him isn't a surprise, but he could've sworn she was able to...

Oh. Right.]

It's just that I can't touch the ground right now.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[She's not even going to ask about that. She doesn't really care.]

Whatever. Listen up. How do you know my name? You know me from before?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

That's right; the last time you came to Luceti.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Great. [Clearly, she is thrilled about this. Her arms cross as she turns in the direction of the voice. Stupid floating voice. She doesn't like it when she can't see who she's talking to.]

So you know all about the great Toph Bei Fong then, huh?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji can't help the way the Malnosso screwed with him]

Oh, I wouldn't say all. [Frankly, he never thought to ask her much. Toph was Toph and she always made that clear enough] But enough to know you're apparently the greatest Earthbender in your world.

[And that you definitely can't see him >>]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[And Toph can't help but be mad about something that's out of his control. >|]

You've got that right. Lemme ask you this: did I like you before?

[Because if not she's so going to start ignoring him.]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

You and I liked each other just fine, but wouldn't it be better to judge for yourself instead of relying on the past?

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Hey, I trust the past me. [After all, that Toph realized Masaomi was a moron, too, so she had some warning ahead of time.] I'm not gonna waste my time if I didn't last time around.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji's been in Luceti for nearly two years. And a few of the decisions he's made would seem odd to a Sanji just arriving. He doesn't think things are that simple.

But neither is he gonna argue about little things, so he just smiles and nods] In that case, you've got your answer.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Toph hasn't been here long enough to really understand how it could become complicated, but oh well--if old Toph was okay with this dude, then she would be, too.]

What's your name, floaty dude?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

The name's Sanji~! And I don't actually float most of the time. [He pulls an irritated face]

Call it a side-effect of our shitty jailers.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[She realizes the suckdom of that situation, but she can't help but laugh.]

Ha! Really? How'd you get stuck like that? Experiment?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[At least someone enjoys his pain.]

Unfortunately. Can't keep my feet on the ground for more than a few seconds before I start floating back up. [Something he never would've realized could be such a pain in the ass until experiencing it first hand]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

How come you haven't floated off into the sky yet?

[Like a balloon. Shouldn't he be long gone by now?]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Enjoy that sudden blast of gentle wind, Toph]

Kipinn helps on occasion. And my crew would be pretty pissed if I floated away without their consent.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[She grimaces. Ugh, just like Twinkletoes.]

Oh right, the air spirit. [She sounds incredulous.] Your...crew?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Pirate crew - Straw Hat pirates to be exact. There's a few of us here already.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Wait. There're pirates here? Why didn't anybody tell me this? That's awesome!

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Quite a few, actually. From different universes.

I'm surprised you haven't met Luffy yet. The loud bastard. He's my captain. A rubber-man.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Swee--

A rubber man? Seriously?

[Because being made of rubber really sounds like it would suck, man. Worse than not being able to touch the ground.]
