[She slowly drifts to awareness, feeling slightly heavy. The scent of tobacco lingering in the air. Has she been teleported to Sanji's bed again? She raises a hand to her forehead and stops. Her hand is too big. Her arm moves in a different way, a strange way and there is something...... off. Very off. Her body is not her body. Robin opens her eyes and finds herself in Zoro. ...Or, maybe not, though it certainly looks like Zoro minus the scars. Hmm. Pulling back the blankets she lifts the hem of her boxers and checks. Not Zoro then. Unless he has a very interesting dye job. The boxers themselves are white with a Marine logo on them.]

Interesting.

[Was that her voice? No...no of course not, it was his. Smoker, obviously. Who else? She can't seem to access any of his memories though, pity. Though on the other hand.... She concentrates for a moment and feels the changes, as if she has hands that can feel every square inch of air, sensitive to movement, air pressure, incredible power. Though it takes more effort to reform herself, himself? And when she does she finds she has left the boxers behind and it is another interesting sensation all together.]

Well, then.

[A moment later she is dressed and with practice acquired from a similar event, lights one cigar and then, remembering, the other, as she stares at the mirror and Smoker grimaces back at her.]

[This should be interesting.]

[Ooc: Robin will be everywhere today trying to see what trouble she can get into.]

[You had him until the "den den mushi" thing.]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Something warm.

[Remember that this kid isn't the most picky eater in the world? Well if not, don't worry you'll remember soon.]

[justicefluers]

[Smoker cares about the people, but pretty much everyone is capable of handling themselves. They shouldn't have to, but what world is that perfect?]

There are shifts, drafts, and missions. The barrier is impenetrable, and death and time are off-kilter. [So brusque and to the point. Is it any wonder he gets along with Ikki?]

[gironzolidifuoco]

[He did. It's a good thing that Cosmo is pretty much the same no matter the body, he may be unable to use your attacks, Hyoga, but he can still raise his Cosmo and run at light-speed.]

Sorry, did you want more time alone with my body?

[Really, did you expect him to take a calm walk back to the village in those conditions?]

A week, but the experiment started yesterday so at most it will only be four days for us. If they decide that just this is enough, that is.

[kyknus]

[ it's a bad habit born from having to save the world repeatedly or something. ]

I got the gist of it from the guide. [ in the end he won't really get this place until he experiences it probably. Living in the mountains probably is not speeding that up. ]

How long have you been here? [ and how long have you been living with Ikki is another thing he's curious about but he won't ask. ]

[kyknus]

[ a look. don't make it sound wrong, Ikki. He ends up just shrugging. It's not like anyone was in any danger but Ikki's driven a different way here apparently. ]

So I should expect that if something else doesn't happen we'll be done by the end of the week? [ hanging around the village until then, he can do that. ]

I should probably stick around until this is over, shouldn't I?

[justicefluers]

Two years and a month. [It feels longer since he was home for two years, but it was like they coincided as well. It's kind of messed up like that.]

Ikki's been my roommate a year and a half.

[They make sure if one disappears at least someone in the village knows about it. And they keep each other in check from month long drinking binges which are fortunately on opposite ends of the year from each other.]

[gironzolidifuoco]

If possible. Once we change back it will be like this time, I don't mind making my way back here but it would cut time if that wasn't needed.

[And his reputation was in danger, man. Though he still wasn't fast enough to arrive before you woke up.]

[kyknus]

[ silence for a while. Well it explains the changes, it's a long time. ][

Ikki didn't tell me how long he'd been here. [ just a vague "too long." Hyoga wonders what he'd do in his place, if Luceti managed to change Ikki into something somewhat sociable what should he expect for himself. ]

[kyknus]

[ don't blame Hyoga, it's not like any of them are in the habit of sleeping in. It's your fault keeping... weird stuff in your room. ]

I'd end up back in the village anyways in that case. [ which is to say he'll hang around until things go back to normal. ]

[Taps the journal.]

When the journal records people doing things, like a camera but with motion. They have recorded plays like that too, right?

[Thinking hard now, what was it called that week he was a reaper... it was so vivid and yet almost instantly gone. Wait, but Grell's mentioned it another time.] Film reel?

[Action] 05/29th

[justicefluers]

[Wry grin. Always so easy to feed Ikki.]

Go big Ikki. If you could have anything at all, what would you like?

[gironzolidifuoco]

[Let's see how you bear with it after two years of being here. :|]

Hn.

[Ikki crosses his arms and looks at Hyoga. He's sure Hyoga won't pry much, it's not his style and it's not as if he cares about Ikki and what he does. But he's sure he has questions.]

[kyknus]

[ actually. he won't. Because Hyoga knows Ikki probably doesn't enjoy answering questions anymore than he does. And really who knows, maybe you did this on Death Queen Island too. ]

Your roommate made breakfast. [ so he assumes you haven't eaten yet and kind of gestures towards your kitchen. ]

[Action] 05/29th

[uccellodifuoco]

Baby food so Shun could have a proper meal. I haven't been able to give him much the last days and the last time I got enough milk for that it was soy milk and he got sick because he couldn't keep it in his stomach.

[So he has no idea what he wants for himself. Sorry.]

[Action] 05/31st

[uccellodifuoco]

I see the experiment has messed up with your head a bit besides the body thing, huh?

[How else could Smoker forget what a movie is?]

Yes, movies are also a good option if you get them, a television and a player.

[gironzolidifuoco]

[Yeah, no, he didn't. And he would prefer to clear any idea similar to that from your mind.]

It was his turn.

[So yeah, he assumed so. And he hasn't eaten yet but he's not moving.]

You have questions, ask them.

[Don't make him say that twice, Hyoga.]

[justicefluers]

It tends to frustrate some people more than others.

[Aka: Smoker had doubts Ikki's ever really adapted but Kotomi helps.]

[Action] 05/31st

[justicefluers]

[Smoker's never seen a movie.]

Movies! Right. That's the thing... Where would I...

[Oh, now he has an idea about asking Lupin. Because if there's anyone in this village who likes to make big flashy things for the purpose of entertaining people? Definitely Lupin.] Okay, I think I have an idea.

People eat popcorn at movies right? I think I read that in a book.

[No really, that is where he heard of this. You have a book-worm type don't you Ikki. Only explanation.]

[Action] 05/31st

[uccellodifuoco]

What, you have never watched a movie? I know you're not a television person but, really...

[Action] 05/29th

[justicefluers]

[Smoker is just trying to figure out foods that aren't an acquired taste. He really doesn't have the heart to point out to chibi Ikki that Shun's not here and he can't exactly take the baby food back with him...]

Steak and potatoes it is.

They don't have them in my world. Den den mushi can be hooked up video den den mushi, and the prisons do that for security, and the government did that for Marineford -- to give news or warnings to Sabaody -- but no one's every recorded plays on them. They don't really "record" either. It's just live feed. And it's not something everyone individually owns. Even if people have a den den mushi, they usually just use it for business voice calls, the video den dens are as tall as I am and five times as wide, so it's not something people could just... own.

[Action] 05/29th

[uccellodifuoco]

[Ikki's a child but he's not an idiot, no answer about the baby food issue pretty much tells him that. And he knows already that Shun isn't here, unfortunately.]

... I'm going to try to find the exit then.

[And sulk about how he fails as an older brother for ending here twice when his brother needs him and being unable to properly feed him.]

[Action] 05/31st

[uccellodifuoco]

[Yeah... Okay, stop that.]

Your world? I've known you since I was a kid and movies exist here since longer. They aren't something too common but still... And I have never heard of those den den mushi things.

Maybe it's better if you don't do anything until the shift wears off. You sound crazy right now.

[Action] 05/29th

[justicefluers]

Ikki, time really doesn't pass back home while you're here. I got back home once, and wound up here all the same.

Don't drive yourself crazy with it, okay?
