II. [Event: Horoscopes]

[Days 1-5]
[Being new in this place, it takes Sabo several hours browsing the journal to actually realize something weird is up. But since he doesn't really know anyone that much yet, and Ace and Luffy (although with more boobs) are more or less themselves, Sabo shrugs this off and spends his days in the forest, training by fighting wild animals trying to eat him or fishing by the river.]

[Day 6, Action]
[There is a rooster in Sabo's room today. It's nestled on his chest when he woke up so he and the chicken exchanged peaceful, post-sleep stares before Sabo's brain catches up to what's actually happening. This is followed by the sound of a young boy flailing and yelling, flapping wings and loud, indignant squawking. Several minutes and multiple scratches later, Sabo quickly flips his journal open to find a strange message: Adopt a chicken. ...Okay, he doesn't know what to make of that.]

[Video]
Uh, hey! Is anyone missing a pet? Er... A chicken? I--no, it's a rooster, actually. He might've wandered in my room and---Hey, stop that! [Said rooster now nudges its way into the screen, and just when it looks like it's going to crow like a normal rooster, it coos. Sabo manages to wrench the journal away.] So yeah, if this guy's yours, give me a call! I'll bring him back. [After that, Sabo goes outside to explore. And tagging persistently after him is a rooster.]

[Day 7, Action]
You have something in your teeth.

[Something's different about Sabo today, and those who know what he normally looks like would notice it at once. Perfect set of teeth. And this will last all week.]

[Day 8, Action]
You have a gay sibling. Shhh.

[Ace, Luffy... If you run into your little bro around, he'll be walking right up to you, give you a hug, and very solemnly say:] No matter what your choices in life are, you have my full support!

[Marco... he's going to be a little more weird to you. He'll actually bow his head while shaking your hand.] You're helping Ace all the time, right? Thank you very much for that. I guess he might get a bit shy for that kind of thing.

[Note: gay = okama in this kid's head. It explains Luffy's boobs, okay?]

[Day 9-10, Action]
[You will become illiterate as soon as you finish this sentence.

And sure enough, the once readable text is now a bunch of undecipherable squiggles. For someone who dreams of writing a book, this is one very horrible, horrible thing to happen. This day is going to be spent in frantic search of books, of any reading materials actually, and he'll end up making a bit of a mess in the library.]

[All throughout the week, the adopted rooster eventually named "Keloggs" after one particular cereal brand he saw in the food shop will be sticking by his side. Feel free to run into him everywhere!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Because people can be real jerks about stuff like that, y'know.

[He lets out an annoyed "gaaah", and runs a hand over his face.] Okay, let's rewind. What "stuff" are you talking about?

[Oh, Ace is still worried, huh? More reassurance then!] Your secret! I already know all about it, okay? You don't have to hide it from me anymore.

[Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no oh no. He didn't want to find out, he's not ready to have to say this.

How do you even tell your ten year old brother you died?] S... Sabo... I... I didn't wan to tell you. I know you'll be pissed, because I yelled at you for the same thing, but this... was a lot harder for me. I didn't want to tell you right after you got here, that... wasn't a good time. I-I just...

[He can't take it, he just sits down on the ground, holding the sides of his head in his hands.]

[....Eh? What is with this reaction?

....Is this... issue a lot more serious than he first thought?]

[Wait a minute.

You yelled at him for being the same.....?

Okay, seriously. What are you talking about, bro?]

[And because he's a good brother, Sabo sits in front of Ace and places a reassuring hand on his shoulder.]

Hey, don't worry. If I ever was an okama myself and you really yelled at me for it, I'm sure I wouldn't hold it against you. We're brothers, no matter what.

[... he just. Slowly looks up at him with that. What the he--

OH.] Wait, oka--

[And he just bursts into laughter because there was so much misunderstand about this and it cracks him up.]

I'm not an okama, you idiot! Where the hell did you get that idea!?

[...First you look as if the world's falling down on you, and now you're laughing your head off? If Sabo knows anything about drugs, he might've asked what the hell you just took.

As he doesn't, he continues looking at Ace seriously. Because as far as he can tell, this is a severe case of denial.]

It's fine if you don't wanna talk about it. I'm just letting you know you have my support. [Keloggs the rooster also clucks his agreement.]

[... and Ace wouldn't tell you. Ten year old kids should not be on drugs, okay?

But sorry, he can't help chuckling a little still. Because he can't believe you thought that.]

Let me tell you something, Sabo. Back in February, there was an experiment. During it, I made out with three girls, okay? I'm not gay. And do I really look like an okama with the way I'm dressed right now? [Gestures to his black shorts and blue shirt.]

...Really? [Just let him wince a little at that, okay? You're ten last time he saw you and now you're talking of making out with not one -- not two -- but three girls?!

He crosses his arms.] Well, that doesn't change anything. You can like both girls and guys, and I wouldn't care. And, of course you're dressed like that. We're outside! You're keeping it a secret, right?

[Shit, probably shouldn't have said that. He gives Sabo a sheepish smile. S-SORRY, BRO.] Yeah, some of Luffy's friends.

[knvzjsdnglzsdg he still won't believe him.] Trust me, Sabo. I'm the last person you can expect to be gay.

[Oh c'mon, man. That just made it worse! So very awkwardly looking away now.] You made out... with Luffy's friends. Er... Right.....

[Tough, Ace. The horoscope has him convinced. But because you don't to want to talk about your true feelings, he'll just shrug and let it go.] Sure. Okay. If you say so.

[Thaaaaaat didn't go as planned, aw shit.] Better than strangers. And hey, it's not like a I do that all the time. It was an experiment.

[You get a lineface.] You don't believe me, do you?

[Stop. Stoooop it. This is fast becoming the worst conversation ever. >>; He just looks completely aghast now.] So even if you didn't want to...? A-and them too? ...You're all brainwashed to do it?! [Holy shit that's way too horrible.]

[Poker face.] 'Course I do. [Nope.]

[FFFFFFFFUCK. HE SHOULD JUST STOP TALKING. And yes, he's worried now.] Not all the time! We're not brainwashed at all! It was these shitty fruits. I don't really get it myself. But hey, if it helps, the worst that's happened to me is I've gotten stuck in a dress for a few days. No brainwashing. None at all, I swear. It's pretty much all just annoying crap that bugs a bit. We got to visit worlds one time, that was kinda neat.

[Yes. Yes, just stop. :| But the assurances worked. See, Sabo believes you, bro. He sighs a big, relieved sigh.] That's good to hear. It's very disturbing to think these Malnosso bastards can do that to people. [Not even realizing he's under the influence right now himself.

He does raise his eyebrows at one particular point.] Stuck in a dress, huh.

[He just casually shrugs. His stay really hasn't been that bad.] This place has been pretty damn good to me. I think it'll be the same for you.

[... smacks your head, you jerk.] Wasn't my choice. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get it off. Neither could others.

I sure hope so. But I only just arrived, so this place have many more chances to screw with me. We'll see, won't we?

[Oh his poor bro. The one time he gets to express his true self and it's with an experiment? That's sad... So not minding that smack at all, and giving an understanding look instead.]

It's not that bad, is it?

If anyone seriously screws with you, half the village will be there to fight them for it.

[He wants to hit you again.] Are you kidding?! It was humiliating! Fuck, the dress was so... [He just shudders.] I never wanna be caught dead in that thing.

[Blinks.] Huh? Why would they?

[He's trying to be supportive here. But you know, when you give a priceless reaction like that, don't blame people for snickering.] Not your style then? Not the right color or something?

Because Luceti is just that kind of place. You'll always have people willing to help you fight.

[He gives him another flat look.] Not my anything! Look, cross-dressing is Izou's thing, not mine. I like how I'm dressed now. [T-shirt and black shorts. All he needs.]

...Y'know what? I think I'm starting to see that. It's way different from back home, that's for sure.

[Snicker, snicker.] Sure, okay. Hey, is that Izou-guy here too? Sounds like he's got some interesting stories to tell! [Go ahead and smack him, Ace. He's just asking for it now.]

A lot different.

[... smacks him. :|] And he's not here. He hasn't been, either. None of my nakama have, I think.
