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!]

They... could make him forget even that? [Flaming meteor punches are scary, but this has got to be the scariest thing yet.]

[Copy that! o7 Plus he'll need eye-witnesses' accounts too.]

[And Sabo'll just... stare at you with wide eyes. Are you a mind-reader? Because that is creepy, okay.]

Surprisingly. It wouldn't last though, so no matter how bad things got I know we'd get through it. What are brothers for, eh?

[Small grin at the staring. He's not completely sure what Sabo's in awe over, but he'll hazard a guess and playfully tip Sabo's hat over his eyes the same way Marco does to Ace sometimes.] No matter what enemies you face, even the world government itself, so long as you've got brothers or nakama with you it will always seem like you can do anything.

[asfjk! Hands flying to the brim of his hat in surprise. So that's where Ace got that from, huh? Have a grouchy look for that, but it's quickly replaced by a somber one as he looks away.]

I... was wondering if there's anything I could do for Ace and Luffy. They're adults now, so they can take care of themselves, and have their nakama here. I can't look after them the way I used to before. That bothered me a lot.

So when you said just being here's enough... well, it's a relief, I guess! I can't tell what this place has in store for me, but I... [Fists clenching.] I'll stay by their side as along as I can.

Trust me, from what I've seen of them both, that counts a lot more than trying to look after them like nakama, eh.

My Pops was the strongest man in the world, so the times he really needed someone to look after him were next to nil. But his dream was to have a big family. Nothing made him happier than having his family nearby. Understood?

Yeah. It's just... I got a little lost what to do. [Sheepish head scratch.] But I know better now. And I'll remember it from now on! [Nope, not really. He'll have to digest all this later when he's by himself. But for now, it's enough.]

Ah, you know what? You and Ace are making me really regret I won't get to meet Whitebeard. He's already great in all the stories I know of him, but I think I like the image of him as a dad better than an emperor.

[Pfft. Luckily Marco's used to Ace, who takes years to get things on his own.]

You'll find what you can do, eh.

[Grins.] He was the greatest man I've ever known. Mah, maybe you still will get a chance to meet him someday. This place can be strange like that.

[Sabo's less stubborn, so maybe that helps? :>]

Hopefully it won't take me long! I really wanna be useful to those two dumbasses. [Pause.] And to you too. Er-- if you'll have me, I mean.

That'd be awesome if that happens! Ah... But wouldn't he be trapped here just like the rest of us?

[Throws an arm around Sabo's shoulders and tugs him into a one-armed hug.] It'd be an honor little matey. I know you'll find a way.

[Arches an eyebrow.] Heh... as opposed to being dead? Somehow, I don't think he'd mind. Especially not with some of his sons here.

[Head whips to face Marco in shock.] EHH?!! W-Whitebeard, he's....?

[Yeah no, can't process how the strongest man in the world could possibly be dead.]

It's... way in the future kid. He's not immortal, eh.
