piratejournal | 003 - audio, action for Million Merrily

[Rogue assumed she still had her powers. She'd spent her entire life being trained not to touch people, and she'd gotten used to the fact that she wouldn't be rid of her curse. So, she'd spent the whole while avoiding touching anyone and trying to find some gloves that would fit.

Still. Okay. She can handle this.

Until, randomly, it happens. Flashes of a life that isn't her own. Of a battle she's never fought. Of emotions she isn't experiencing. Of pain she isn't feeling. There's a lot of it, and it doesn't stop right away, so she goes down. Kneels on the deck of Million Merrily, hands in her hair, clutching the sides of her head.

When it's over, she all but pounces on the nearest journal.]

Whoever's got my body -- and y'know who you are -- don' touch anybody! Jus' stop! Put on the damn gloves that're by my bed, an' don' touch anyone!

[And, a few seconds later--]

Oh. An'. Back left pocket. There's a card there. Take it out. Put it. I dunno. Put it under my pillow. Or somethin'.

Anythin' happens to that card, I'll tan your hide, got it?!

[Keimi's chest lightens. The accent might be a bit... off, but that is definitely Anna's voice. Not her own voice is particularly correct at the moment.]

Anna-chin! Are you alright? Everyone's all mixed up!

Sorry, but -- I ain' Anna.

[Still. That gives her a name. Tells her who she's looking for.]

O-oh.

[You can almost hear the pout in her voice.]

Do you know where she is? Still on Merrily, I hope.

Dunno. If she's where I was... then she'd be on the Sun.

The Sun? That's one of the Spade ships, isn't it?

[So, she knows where to reach out to, at least.]

Do you know Luffy-chin's brother, then?

I've met Luffy.

[And the only one she knows who's actually talked about having brothers is--]

I know Marco, if y' mean him.

I'm still gettin' t' know everyone. 'M pretty new.

Nn. Ace is Luffy-chin's brother, but I know Marco-chin, too.

[But with all these names flying around, maybe she should add her own to the mix.]

I'm Keimi, and that body you're in belongs to my sister, Anna.

Oh, I've met Ace. So, he's Luffy's brother. Got it.

[A pause.]

An' I'm sorry 'bout your sister. Didn' mean for this t' happen or anythin'.

[Oh. Right. She hasn't introduced herself.]

'M Rogue.

Nice to meet you, Rogue-chin.

I don't think anyone wanted this to happen, except maybe Davy Jones. Anna-chin is strong, she'll be okay. I just want to find her.

[Adoptive or not, Anna is family, and nakama. She needs to make sure that she is still okay.]

Can I trust you to take care of her body?

Promise.

[She lets out a relaxed sigh.]

Good, thank you.

Please, help yourself to whatever you need on the ship. If you need extra clothes, there's a couple outfits on mannequins in the workshop. They're not done yet, but they'll cover you up.

Thanks. I... appreciate it.

Only the best for my sister.

[She giggles, joking. But really, that's still her body you're using, so she's gonna pamper it any way she can.]
