[Flowing, almost archaic script starts to inundate the page.]

Dearest Brother,

I do not know if you will ever receive this letter. All I know is that I have been spirited away to this dastardly, horrid, menacing, troubling, and mysterious place known as Isla Empieza. I am very much afraid – who knows what the people here would do to a young maiden such as myself? Oh, oh, my dearest brother, my virtue is at stake – you must come at once! If I die here, I will come back to haunt you and you will never hear the end of it, so I suggest that you come and fetch me at this very moment! One such man asked me my name, and I threw him off the dock. I am truly helpless, waif-like, and defenseless, and I need your aid!

Please, also let my darling fiance Ranma-sama know that I am longing for him. I will simply not entertain thoughts of any other until I find myself in his arms once more. I know how he grieves, but console him, my dearest sibling. How he must pine for me – it is unthinkable.

Brother, I will put this letter in a bottle and hope that it reaches you. I will perhaps ask a turtle to bear it for me. When you receive this, please come and rescue me!

Love,
The Star of Hope of the Gymnast World
The Black Rose
Your Beloved Sister
Kodachi

[Some time later . . .]

I can't rip the page out! I've been trying for hours! It just . . . flies back into the journal . . . !!! Magic exists, but only to taunt me! The fates are against me! I'll never be rescued now!

[Cue shrieks, wails, and sobs. When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions.]

She's my friend. Don't you have to compliment someone to date them and do flowers and stuff like that? Except guys don't like flowers. Well Sanji didn't. Maybe Zoro might but I don't think he's interested in that kind of thing.

It's all pretty complicated. [he doesn't get it at all. He can't even remember why he wants to in the first place but he does. But then! He smacks his fist into his palm. She seems pretty smart about this kind of thing so...]

You wanna go on a date? I can give you a flower! I gotta find one first but I'll make sure it's a big one.

Yes, you do, but you must mean it. Men like other things, like cookies! If you give a man cookies you will be sure to win his heart.

[Did you just - ]

A date? You're asking me on a date?!

[Oh no. Oh no!!!]

[THE TORMENT!!!]

[She has a fiance ~~kinda~~ but . . . an actual date . . . she's never been on a date before . . . do the ones where she kidnaps Ranma count???]

[SHE IS HAVING A SERIOUS DILEMMA HERE.]

I . . .

[AND THEN SHE BURSTS OUT CRYING GOOD JOB LUFFY.]

I was kidnapped and then now I'm asked on a date! Oh! Will I be sad because I'm wrested from my home or happy that one has deigned to take me out on a date? I can't decide!!! [1st world problems.]

You should decide to do one with me! It'll be fun! [he's not exactly sure what happens on one but he's excited that she seems to want to!]

[BOO HOO HOO SOB SOB WAIL]

But - but . . .

I'm betrothed! [~~except not really~~]

Do you think . . . [Sniff!] Perhaps we could go on a date but not fall in love? [That's obviously the easy way out, right?]

[he doesn't know what that means really but okay. He's not sure how you go about falling in love but he's not interested in that kind of thing right now]

Sure! Let's do it!

Oh!

[A watery sniffle! She's so glad that you understand, Luffy. ~~Except not but it works anyway.~~]

A-Alright, then!

Once I've . . . understood the nature of my kidnapping and have plotted my revenge . . . I will go on a date with you.

[Oh, my. Developments.]

hahaha okay! Oh but you were kidnapped cuz of the ghost guy probably and we're all gonna go kick his ass after we get the shard things.

[nodnod]

[She's dancing around with glee - not that you can hear it. Oh, my! A date!!!]

[But okay! Back to business!]

Why is Davy Jones making us search for the pieces of the gem for him anyway? Why can't he do his own dirty work? [Haughty sniff.]

Dunno. Cuz he's a jerk maybe? You should come sail with us and then we can go kick his ass together. [plus she's super funny]

[Unfortunately she's spoken for, but she's more than willing to fight Davy Jones beside you, Luffy!]

Oh, you're inviting me to exact revenge with you?

[This is just as good as asking her out on a date!]

Yes! I will stand by your side, Mr . . .

Oh! I just realized that we have not introduced ourselves! I am Kodachi, the Black Rose. Ohohohohohoho! ♥

I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man whose going to be King of the Pirates! Nice to meet you Kodacchan!

[he's not sure if she means she'll stand by his side as crew or an ally so he just wants to make sure]

Are you gonna come over or are you sailing with someone else?

[ooc; fff she's actually been signed up with another crew but it hasn't happened ICly . . . whoops! /WINGS IT]

It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Luffy!

I don't know if I should take to the sea, but regardless of if I do, I will be happy to be your ally!

Okay! [he's pretty sure she has to go but she'll probably figure that out on her own.]

If you decide to go with someone else, though, we should sail together for a while!

Mm - I would like that very much, Mr. Luffy. You're actually quite nice. ♥

You are, too. [he likes her a lot] This place can be pretty tough sometimes but I hope you can find lots of fun adventures!

Thank you!

I suppose everyone must have their own challenges to surmount, and if these are mine - then so be it!

[BLAZING FIRE IN THE BACKGROUND]

You know, I have not seen my mother since I was a child . . . perhaps she's on an adventure too, like I am now.

Yeah! [flares with her because he feels that flare with all the strength of his spirit] FIGHT HARD, KODACCHAN! DON'T GIVE UP!

Never! Not when I have the strength of your encouragement!

[These - these are the fires of a SHONEN SERIES]

LET'S GOOOOOOO!

[he's overcome with the passion of the moment! Even if you're not going with him he can't help but be super excited!]

[ooc: Also sorry for hijaking your thread all over the place]

[Isla Empieza is now littered with black rose petals!!! OHOHOHOHOHO!]

[ooc; and no worries, it's super fun :D]

Shishishishi I can't wait to meet you.

Oh!

[Blushing! You're so smooth.]

The feeling is mutual, I assure you!
