[voice, mostly] and always action to Straw Hats

[yourotherleft]

Out of curiosity, has anybody figured out a...I don't know, an antidote or something to protect people from losing their damn minds every other month? By now I've seen enough bizarre behavior, it'd be nice to find some kind of immunity to that.

...not that we can predict when it happens.

Which reminds me. Ace, you ever send Luffy something like that again and I'll come over there next. You don't want me to come over there.

[some time later, he adds, scrawled on the bottom of the page as if he forgot that he can't write notes to himself on this journal...]

Needs more treasure. I need those weights.

[SOMETIME LATER... Because he didn't bother responding to the actual journal entry.

Instead he nearly runs into Zoro while actively trying not to run into him as he slips from the men's cabin into the galley.

But of course luck is never on his side, and also the ship isn't big enough for that shit. So he just pulls up short a tad awkwardly, scowl firmly in place. And then throws a question at him seemingly out of nowhere.]

You get any decent answers?

[action]

[yourotherleft]

Huh?

[oh right, the journal] ...uh, no. Not yet.

[but if it'll keep Sanji from hitting on him again, he's going to keep searching]

[action]

[serving_love]

Ah.

[.......

Just turns and bangs his head against the outside galley wall with a groan.]

I really just want to bleach my fucking brain at this point.

[donthithimintheballs]

If you get an answer for that, share with the damn class. Gettin' real tired of this monthly mind loss crap. You'd think they'd have some damn charm or something to wear. A tattoo or something. Ward off the evil juju crap.

[Look, he's not happy with it either. Also he had to deal with a sudden Luffy on the ship (or better yet took off to the other ship when he realized).]

[voice]

[yourotherleft]

I'll start wearing all the good luck charms in the world if it works.

[sorry about the Luffy, really]

How's it going, Logan?

[breakfastmetaphors]

You already know that it happens monthly, so you should know to be prepared. It seems that the majority of these "curses" occur around holidays, too. They're not at all hard to predict.

[Written]

[yourotherleft]

prepared? how. when you don't know you've been affected until someone points it out to you, or even then still thinking you're totally normal?

Voice

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

If the nature of what causes these ailments were truly understood, a ward could be made. But without knowing what brings on such curses it is hard to protect against.

However, there may be a way to ward against what has already transpired, in the event that it happens again. But knowing how effective such a thing would be is difficult to guess.

[the most positive reaction! yay! which...isn't saying much]

But it might be possible. If you had enough information to go on?

voice;

[bloodheels]

If there was something like that, I would be quite interested in finding it, but as far as we know there is nothing like that.

voice;

[yourotherleft]

Maybe it's about time somebody started trying to find out.

voice;

[windofthephoenixtemple]

So odd behaviour is considered a rather common thing?

voice;

[yourotherleft]

It happens regularly enough. Every few weeks or so.

[action]

[letteropener]

WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THY MEANING, ZOR-- [Celestia breaks off her statement with a gentle laugh into a hoof, which fortunately is serene and calm.] I am afraid that if even I can be affected by these constant influences, there truly is no solution.

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[ow, Celestia. OW. Wincing.]

Well that doesn't bode well for anybody.

I mean, I can deal with yelling and Luffy being weird but...some things? [nopenopenopenope]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Aye?

Maybe he does want you to come over, eh.

[Marco stop.]

[Voice]

[yourotherleft]

It'll have to wait a week. [THANKS A LOT LUFFY]

Did he wreak havoc over there?

voice;

[feetarestrange]

I don't think it would ever be as easy as just making an antidote.

voice;

[yourotherleft]

No? Worth a shot, ain't it?

[ voice ]

[cherrybombpie]

You could simply put them to sleep.

Are you a friend of Mr. Ace's and Mr. Luffy's?

[ voice ]

[yourotherleft]

I'm Luffy's second. Why?

Voice;

[hiken]

Eh? So what? I'll just beat you up. [Does it sound like there's a pinky in one nostril? There definitely is.]

Anyway, is there any of that stuff left?

Voice;

[yourotherleft]

I am going to kick your ass for that!

...no, I think he drank it all.

[action NOT LATE]

[seakingbait]

...If you find something like that, you'll let me know, right?

[action NEVER]

[yourotherleft]

If I do? Yeah. 'Course.

[he's doing this for the crew, really]

Everything all right, Keimi?
