[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.]

[ 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?

[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]

[ 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. ]

[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. ]

[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.]

[kyknus]

I do. But I don't intend to ask them. If there's something you think I should know you can just tell me. [ he's just not used to asking you stuff okay? And as far as he's concerned none of the things he can think of are important to ask. ]

[gironzolidifuoco]

[Something he should know? There are some thing, but none are about Luceti. Ikki scowls before he snorts, fine, despite everything two years aren't enough to make him talkative by nature if people don't push it. So what if Hyoga gets weird ideas about him? It won't last, he will forget everything as soon as he is sent back, and Ikki refuses to accept the idea that Hyoga will be here for long so...]

So be it.

[He's just going to turn and go eat something. Thank whatever you want Hyoga, he doesn't care.]

[kyknus]

[ what kind of weird ideas do you think Hyoga has, Ikki? He'spretty reasonable in his assumptions. I mean he did spend a few minutes wondering if smoker!Robin was Ikki's girlfriend but that's not crazy, is it? And he generally decides in the end that it doesn't matter in the long run because Ikki is still... Ikki with some changes. ]

Did you think I'd think less of you? [ for changing after only you know how long? And for keeping stuffed toys? It's weird but who's he to judge. ]

[gironzolidifuoco]

[Yes, he did. But that answer would make him vulnerable and just isn't his style, so he just shrugs.]

Do you have reasons to do so?

[kyknus]

[ ... wow, Hyoga had no idea. Well he sort of did, that's why he asked but it was kind of a wild idea to him. ]

There's nothing you could do that would make me think less of you. [ he has that much faith in you, buddy. ]

[gironzolidifuoco]

[Being trapped and alone ends affecting you, sure he's not really "alone" but there was no one from home so there was some solitude, even more than what Ikki normally likes. Being unable to even check on Shun and the others, not knowing if everything was fine or if they had all been killed already, sure people claim that time stops but Ikki doesn't believe what he can't see himself. It drives one nuts... At least this time he's not going nuts in the sense of wanting to kill you all.]

... Right, then there's no need to worry about that.

[Honestly, he still doubts that's true. It's not as if Hyoga or the others have real reasons to have any faith in him. Yes, he has fought when them and helped them but... He tried to kill them. And despite what some may think he was serious, or at least convinces himself that he was. He doesn't really deserve their forgiveness or trust.]

Did you check the barrier?

[kyknus]

[ well yes, Ikki tried to dig his heart out of his chest pretty much but that was years ago and Hyoga doesn't really hold it against him. You fight when you're enemies, you might have to kill them, that's what it means to believe what you're fighting for. Hyoga knows he doesn't know Ikki well by any stretch but as far as he's concerned what he knows is enough for that faith, he knows what matters most to him. ]

I did, though I didn't go all the way around. [ he'll consider that for a rainy day. ]

[gironzolidifuoco]

Tried to get through it?

[He asks in a lightly amused tone, yeah, he knows what the result would have been if he tried. The same as for everyone else so far.]

[kyknus]

I didn't charge at it if that's what you're asking. [ he may have tried to break it by freezing though. actually he did, a few times. ]

[gironzolidifuoco]

I supposed so. If you had been crazy enough to try that seriously you would have just ended dead.

[And they should have enough experience to know that such a tactic doesn't tend to work, what with the pillars in Poseidon's temple and that wall in Hell.]

Though I wonder if we would have a better chance with the weapons of the Libra cloth.

[kyknus]

That's more Seiya's style. [ first time he mentioned their de facto leader but at least he manages to not wince saying his name. ]

I wonder but it might be more along the lines of trying to break the Wailing Wall it seems like.

[gironzolidifuoco]

[Ikki pauses at the mention of Seiya's name. It has been a long time since he heard it after all, he had come to feel that he wouldn't hear it again until he returned at most.]

Yes, no matter how many times he was told not to do it.

[He kept doing it again and again. Until Hades' sword stopped him completely. It was such a weird sight, Seiya unable to move, eyes closed as if asleep and unresponsive to everything.]

Even if we get out of the barrier we would still be trapped in this world.
