sailedfirst | 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!]

[Her heart twists a little at those words. His brothers. Nakama. Terms from their world and she knows that he is talking about Luffy. He has to be. Perhaps she's wrong. She almost hopes she is]

You mean Luffy and Firefist-san?

[If anything, his smile brightens more, and there's now an obvious pride in his voice.]

Yep, Ace and Luffy are my brothers. I guess if you're from our world, it's impossible for you not to know them, huh? They're two of the greatest pirates in the sea now, I've heard! [Bias, what is bias?]

[Of course. Of course she'd been right because he has the same sort of spirit. She is almost too many ~~feels~~ thoughts about this. That Luffy has lost another brother, much earlier apparently. The fact that both of them are in Luceti. A favor? An experiment? The fact that he is another piece to Luffy's past and she's curious how he fits in. How he formed Luffy as he is, because she feels someone should know. Though it's not her place to ask.]

They are. [more or less]

And it seems you have met another of Luffy's nakama, then. [Sort of]

[Blinks.] You can't mean... Robin, you're part of Luffy's crew?!

[Maybe she should try to ask one day. He'll be happy enough to tell her the story of how the three of them became brothers, especially if what she's saying is true.]

Mm. I have been for a while now. He was born reckless, wasn't he? [Funny, even though Luffy has changed a bit since she first met him, she can never imagine him changing too much. As if he's just an unending force of nature that was there before they came into existence and would continue long past the end]

So that nakama who helped you with your dream... that's Luffy's crew? That's how you joined them?

[Whatever doubts he's still harboring about Robin's completely and utterly gone now. There's no way he'll doubt anyone his brothers trusted, especially anyone they call nakama.

Sabo just nods, grinning.] He's always been a very interesting guy, right from the moment I met him. Interesting, but stupid! Did you know he almost got himself killed that day?

[She chuckles.] I joined them because Luffy has the strange way of making people want to live whether they will or no. [And thank everything for that]

Tell me. [A pillar of smoke forms to make a seat and she sits on it, one leg folded over the other as she leans closer to stare at you. You have her undivided attention]

You know... I can believe that, even if he's just a little crybaby in my time. He's pretty stubborn when it comes to important stuff. ["More often to stupid things though", but Sabo keeps that to himself. He's got a feeling Robin knows that, anyway.

Well, now. You can't expect the kid not to be distracted after that display, can you? Excited babble, incoming!]

Whoa... Is that a Devil Fruit?! A smoke one? Or some kind of cloud?! Are you a cloud-cloud man?!! Oh wait, that power's not yours, is it?

A crybaby? [That's not too much of a stretch to imagine. She blinks as realizing what she just did and then shrugs lightly]

Not mine. Mine is very different. But his is the plume-plume fruit, I believe.

Oh. [Deflating a bit, but still staring at that smoke seat. Man, that's one useful devil fruit.] But you have one too, in your real body? Which is yours?

[Then he remembers Robin's question. He crosses his arms, frowning.] I'd tell you about my shared past with Luffy, but... how sure are we that Marine guy won't remember all this stuff? He might be able to use the information against Luffy!

I hadn't considered that. [She really isn't sure and it isn't the Marine's business, no matter how innocuous the past might be]

As for what I look like, perhaps you can figure it out when we meet again.

[There's nothing too important in that story, but a pirate doesn't trust a Marine too easily. And whatever anyone might say, Sabo is a pirate. So...]

Hmm... okay, tell you what. I'll tell you that story once we meet properly. Now that I know you're part of Luffy's crew, it won't be too hard to figure out which one you are!

I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all. To be honest, I hope I recognize me when I get back. [She sighs and stands, the smoke dissipating]

I hope you return to normal soon.

[Oh, is she leaving now?]

You too. [He stands up as well, looking up at Robin.] I want to thank you for taking care of Luffy, but bowing or shaking hands with a Marine feels wrong. Especially if he tried to hurt Luffy in the past.

[She is. She needs to distract herself from this body for a bit and perhaps lose herself in a good history.]

There's no need to thank me. That's what nakama are for.

[She winks, and then picks a random book off the shelf to read]

Until we meet again, ne?
