[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.]

Creepy... [Then again Marco can only imagine whoever got switched into his own body would keep winding up with bird things. Hell, he barely controls it himself, and it's worse in spring. Maybe he should thank the Malnosso for that small kindness.]

Ah... This is going to date me as forever old again, but he's actually too young for me to know a lot about. At least too new. You should ask Ace though... White Hunter chases Luffy, right? So I think he had a run-in with Ace at one point. We got some reports about it, but it was... really diluted by the time it reached the New World. And there was the whole Shanks thing going on...

With luck this will be over really quickly, right?

[Don't worry. Robin loves old things.]

I hope so...

[But because it really does help her feel better...]

But in the meantime I'll have a better idea of how to use the equipment, ne?

[Oh good, because Marco is not going to let on his age anytime soon. Even if Oda releases it.]

O-Oh?

[Marco doesn't know what she means by that, but it scares him.] Dare I ask?

I'm teasing. [Because he looks a little ill.]

Just try not to remember too much when things reverse.

[Oh, look Smoker's smiling. Marco can only line-face. That. Is a weird expression for the marine. SURE he assumes it had to be physically possible, but marines never smile at Marco. Even if they're generally cheerful, they tend to see Marco and have all sorts of not happy expressions. But at least Robin doesn't seem too freaked out, so that's a relief.]

Oh believe me, first opportunity I can get I'm going to grab Law and have him get drunk with me until I can forget this. So you think you can dig up anything interesting like this?

[The expression stops Robin a little cold. She understands mentally that it's understandable, given what she looks like, but something pricks under her skin that feels suspiciously like rejection]

I suppose I can. It shouldn't be too hard.

[And she might sound pretty distant]

[Aw shit. Okay. This is take all his courage, but he grabs her hand to hold it. Even though it's Smoker's.]

At least you're still mentally you, eh? [Looking... up into those eyes as though trying to see the girl behind the man.]

If you're not going to get started right away, come have coffee with me, eh? We can confuse everyone wondering what two mortal enemies are doing drinking coffee together. [... Removing that cigar from her mouth. It freaks him out less if she's not smoking.]

[She's surprised when his hand takes hers and her first impulse is to jerk away. That doesn't happen to her often even normally. He's looking up at her earnestly. She seems to be blushing. For a marine this body blushes quite often]

I would like that. [And she is glad when the cigar is gone]

But how can you be sure I'm not Ace? [And she is definitely teasing]

Ace doesn't act cute the same way you do. [Sticks his tongue out and aww... blushing... Luckily it's so unlike anything Marco's seen he's not too freaked out by it. He didn't even know Robin COULD blush. Or Smoker... Whatever.]

Besides, I told you to prank him earlier, eh. [The best part about being a chronic liar was that bluffs sort of covered themselves after awhile. Especially since all of Marco's lies were generally joking in nature.]

And for the record, normally I would have pretended to be having a fake affair with him, but you're having a rough day and it wouldn't be that funny anyway. [He can't exactly pat her head, but he squeezes the hand lightly.] Come on. To the cafe.

[Of course. She's been caught in her own net and that doesn't often happen. Still, Marco is Marco and it's one thing to have nakama to trust but this is something entirely different. (and she's cute. Really?) She squeezes his hand back--which is odd, since it is smaller than hers]

Mm. Let's go. My treat.

[But of course money is useless here, but if anything, a Marine, even in body only, serving a pirate, is something worth remembering.]

[A small laugh.]

My pleasure then.

Hey, do you have that guy's seastone now?

[Heads along with her to the cafe~]

No. I wonder where he keeps it.

[Because of course a marine would have seastone. If she didn't take anything else away from this, that would be worth having]

Gotta be somewhere close by. He locked up his roommate Ikki with them once.

Oh, that reminds me. Ikki would probably be either a really good ally... or someone you should be really wary of. He's a phoenix like me but he's probably pretty loyal to the marine.

I'd choose to be wary of him. Having too many allies can be dangerous. [And honestly, those kinds of allies are Luffy's decision][And in the meantime...]

So [And have a sly smile. Or as much as Smoker is capbable of one]

Is there anything you've always wanted to see him do?

[Since, while they're here. Might as well have fun]

Depends on if you can handle them... [Marco lives by a code of having a billion nakama and allies. 1600 brothers, several dozen more allies... then again he can see her point given Blackbeard and Squardo. Still, if he stopped trusting allies, he'd really be betraying everything his father taught him.]

[However the distraction is super effective!]

[EVIL GRIN FOREVER.]

Dresses and teddy bear tea parties come to mind. How big do you want to go?

[Be that as it may, it's up to her to handle allies. Just spy on them if she needs to. But Robin dismisses these thoughts at Marco's evil grin. There is a reason she likes him]

As far as you want to go.

[And she trails a finger down Marco's face without thinking about it]

[Shivers slightly at the touch, but he'd be shivering at normal Robin doing that.]

Blackmail photos, it's much too good an opportunity to pass up.

I'm all yours...

[and there might be a double meaning to that. Or perhaps not]

[That'd be so much sexier under other circumstances.]

I'll make sure to abuse the privilege.
