piratejournal | Ghost Ships Off the Port Bow! [Voice/Action]

[A deep, mournful bell rings through the journals, low pitched and somber, in a slow two-count cadence. When she finally speaks, Robin's voice is full of wonder.]

It's early afternoon, October twenty-third. As others have reported, the sun has yet to rise. The full moon hangs close to the sea, orange as an autumn leaf, and dense fog shrouds the surface of the ocean. Visibility is, obviously, limited. A short time ago this bell began ringing, and now it appears there is another ship coming toward Milly-go. Ah! It's in range.

[There are a few moments of silence from the archaeologist, broken only by the sound of the bells getting louder as if they are coming closer. Then they stop.]

There are people on board the ship, it seems...

[Robin's voice sounds distant, not physically, but as if her mind were elsewhere.]

They're... they're zombies! Dead, but still moving, their bodies in tatters! They don't seem concerned with the presence of the living, but that may be because-

Wait. One took notice. Its eyes glow like dying embers.

[In the distance- a physical distance, this time, Robin's voice can be heard: "No! Stay back! Don't-!" Nearer the journal, she gasps deep, or perhaps chokes. There's a crash as the journal falls from her hands.]

[A few minutes later, a shorter voice post comes through. Her voice is raspy- or perhaps husky. Maybe both.]

S- Sanji-kun. I'm hungry...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Was listening to her soothing voice describing the fucking weird weather patterns from within the galley, where he's preparing tea and snacks for everyone. The second she says "stay back!" though, he makes a mad dash for the door, exploding through it and looking around wildly.]

Robin-chan? Robin-chan! Where are you?!

[Robin is out on deck, kneeling, her arms drawn in over her stomach. Her shoulders tremble a little, and her skin is pale, as if she's just encountered some kind of shock. She sounds like she hasn't had anything to drink in days.]

Sanji... I knew you'd come to me quickest if I called...

Robin-chan!

[Sprints over to her, falling to his knees beside her and putting a hand on her shoulder.]

Of course, I'm here! I'm here, what happened, what bastard hurt you?! I'll kick his ass!!

[Who cares about the people on that ship? They're all dead, nothing more than ghosts. Sanji, on the other hand, is warm and alive, blood pumping hot through his veins. Robin nearly pounces, threading her fingers through his hair to jerk his head back. Her lips brush over the skin of his throat as she searches for the right place to bite. When she finds it, she runs her tongue over the spot, then sinks her newly replaced incisors into the flesh with a sigh.]

[......Well, Sanji just doesn't even know what to do with this at first. His eyes just go ridiculously wide when he suddenly finds himself with Robin all up in his business.]

[FOR A MOMENT, his heart just pounds wildly and his face warms and Robin-chan, really, he had no idea you actually felt this way~! He starts to say something that is sure to be retarded, his face tilting towards Robin's as she threads her fingers through his hair—]

[But then his head is jerked to the side, just as his hands settle on Robin's hips, and ow, okay, that was a little rough—not that Sanji doesn't like it rough, if that's what Robin is into then HE CAN MOST CERTAINLY GO WITH IT, and wow, she moves quickly, already pressing her lips to his neck like that alksjfdhkjs.]

R-Robin-chan~!!

...

[Abruptly he's...pretty sure something isn't right. Sanji is quite the catch, OBVIOUSLY, but Robin has never, uh...shown any interest like that, and—and nggghh, tongue, what—why.

What the shit is actually happening right now, seriously.

HE'S TORN BETWEEN EXPLODING INTO A THOUSAND HEARTS and being very concerned.]

[But turns out he doesn't have the time to do either because quite suddenly there are teeth in his shitty neck and that cements the fact that something has happened to one of his ladies.

...Woe. ;_;]

The fuck?! O-oi, Robin-chan, what are you doing?

[He tries to gently but firmly push her away where he's still got his hands on her hips, but he has a hunch that's not going to do much...]

[he watches the ghost touch her and sees her reaction]

ROBIIIIN!

[[the ghost turns and points at him, like it's going to attack, but it didn't matter]

GUM GUM NO PISTOL!

[Over on the ghost ship, Robin's cuerpo fleur dissipates quickly after being touched, leaving Luffy to his fate.]

[the ghost touches him at the same time he punches it and cold cracks through him, racing ice up his arms. Something changed. He blinked and drew his arm back with an elastic snap. The night seemed much more awesome and the ghosts were there but pretty boring and uninteresting. He couldn't even hear anything from them.

He ran his tongue over one sharp tooth and made his way over to Robin, hearing the change in her, too, but also seeing her pulse flutter at her throat. He shoves his hands in his pockets and looks down at her.]

You want me to kick their asses anyway?

[he's not really interested in that but he's almost sure he should be]
