[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.]

[ Hyoga frowns (it looks harsher on Ikki's face than it would on his own probably) he's heard of the kidnappings but meeting someone that's been subjected to them makes them more real and it leaves a bad taste. He's been calm about being placed here and it's true that he still thinks that it doesn't matter too much where he is. But other people being subjected to random cruelty and injustice is something that he'll never be able to just swallow. ]

And people have been subjected to these things for years here?

[justicefluers]

Yes. Some things are crueler than others, but most of the things seem more intent on making people meet each other or for amusement.

[kyknus]

I see. [ getting angry doesn't accomplish anything but well he might not care where he is but maybe he should look ino giving a shit about the other people here. But it's not really his place-- the conflict of being both distant and sympathetic. ]

Ikki didn't say much about this place.

[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?]

[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. ]

[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.]

[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. ]

[justicefluers]

It tends to frustrate some people more than others.

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

[kyknus]

He's less frustrated than I thought he would be. [ as far as he can tell from cosmo anyways ]

But I don't know him that well I guess.

[justicefluers]

He was a lot worse until Kotomi-chan gave him a reason to do better.

But you didn't hear that from me.

[kyknus]

[ awkward. Even Hyoga understands the implications there and well he has met Kotomi. ]

I definitely didn't. [ if he could unhear it he would. Since he can't he's going to go to the kitchen and sit down while the wolf attempts to beg for bacon. ]

[justicefluers]

Heh...

[Sneaks Hyoga the wolf a bit of bacon under the table with a spare hand. This devil fruit really does have its moments.]

[kyknus]

...thank you for the food. [ he says it like he hasn't for a looong time but he can't forget his manners. ]

[justicefluers]

[Waves a hand with an extra one sprouted behind it.]

It's nothing. Just my usual routine.
