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

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.

[Okay fine, he'll stop teasing now. Especially after that last line. He'll just elbow Ace in return for that smack, and briefly looks at the sky. Looks like another clear day again, huh...]

It's better that way, right? At least they're where they're supposed to be.

[Well, while you look up, he'll look down.]

... yeah, I guess so. I just miss them a lot.

... Well, you never know. One day you might end up seeing them again. Unexpected stuff happens all the time! I made it here, didn't I?

[If someone as good as dead like him could appear randomly here, what more those who're completely alive?]

I sure as hell hope so. I haven't seen them in months.

[Well, that makes two of them. But if dead people made it here, why hadn't Pops?

[Sabo sighs softly. Looks like nothing he says now can offer the comfort Ace needs right now. But he still has to try something to cheer him up! After thinking a bit, he pats Ace's shoulder before getting on his feet.]

Alright, that does it! While they're not here, it's my job as your brother to keep you from being this gloomy. What do you say we grab some lunch and then spar? Show me some cool tricks with your Devil Fruit!

[Ace blinks a bit at him, but after a moment he smiles.] Thanks, Sabo.

And if you wanna spar, we can head over to the Battle Dome! I might, uh... ruin a few things if we do it out here. I can take you to Sanji's restaurant, though!

Sounds good to me! I haven't actually gone in those places yet.

Oh, and... if we run into Luffy in the restaurant, don't be too hard on him, okay?

You'll love it, both are pretty great.

[He tilts his head a little.] How come? If this is because of the girl thing, I'm kinda used to it.

Oh, you saw him as a girl too? It's pretty disturbing, right?!

But no. Not that! There's something even weirder going on with him. [Do you realize how serious that statement is?]

Just a little freaky. [And by a little he means a lot.]

... oh shit, what happened now?

I asked if he wants to barbeque meat later.

...He refused.

[Oh, Luffy refused it, huh.]

[...............]

[HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD THE MOTHERFUCKING PHONE HERE, PEOPLE.

Excuse Ace while he processes this new and seemingly unbelievable information. Because he seriously can't see Luffy ever turning down food of any kind, much less meat.]

[this expression. All I can say.]

LUFFY turned down meat!?

[Hold it. It gets worse. And basically said with this same expression.]

...He's eating salad, and last time I saw him, he's running off to ask his chef friend to make vegetable kebabs.

[Luffy. Is eating. Healthy.] I think the world is ending. Fuck.

[...WAIT.] Oh shit! Sanji really can't see Luffy! Not like this. Shit, we really need to warn his crew!

[The second Sanji hits on Luffy, then the world will end.] Did Luffy already head home?

Eh? Uh... He's heading to the clothes shop when I saw him, but that's hours ago. [But geez, your panic's setting him off too.] Why, what's happening?!

[Poor kid. He doesn't know the dangers of having Sanji around women yet.]

Shiiiiiiiiit. Listen, Luffy's chef, Sanji. He really, really likes women. Goes all gaga and heart-eyed and everything when he sees one.

[Dear god, he doesn't want to say this, noooo....]

He'll start flirting with Luffy.

E-EH?!! You mean like the way the bandits-guys look at Makino?! [Yep, he noticed those guys. And daaaamn, it IS pretty horrible if anyone'd start looking at Luffy like that.]

Wait, if he's Luffy's nakama, won't he recognize him like we did?
