in town and about

[sanjikuroashi]

*Robin can feel the genuine care in his voice and wants to tell him to leave again and angrily push him away before she could do worse to him, but at the same time she is too fond of him to be unkind. With a wave of her hand she comes up with a distraction. She takes stock of what is happening around the hotel and puts it together with knowledge

*Usopp doesn't protest further, convinced by her lie and successfully intrigued about the developments in their Mission of Love. After redressing, he leaves her with the chastest of kisses before he loses his nerve, then heads out to track down Zoro and Luffy...

...who are sitting outside a restaurant not too far from the inn. While Luffy stuffs himself in his usual manner, Zoro hasn't eaten much. He can still taste Sanji in his mouth, on his tongue, that smoky flavor...and he finds he's reluctant to lose it.*

[Stupid. You'll probably kiss him again later, you know. It's not a big deal. ....So why does it feel like it is?]

"Oi, Zoro, when did you and Sanji get married?"

*Zoro looks at him sharply, quickly brought out of his thoughts, eyes wide.* "What?"Last night, Usopp told me-" *Luffy explains with his mouth full; Zoro grimaces and dodges the crumbs and bits of food that escape him while he speaks.* "-that we were rooming together 'cuz you and Sanji were in the honeymoon suite

[OOc: okay...I remember now why I need to think this over. Hmm! TOnight I'll update it!]

[ooc:just edited a spelling mistake...pay no attention]

*Sanji nearly bumps into Robin on his way out of the hotel.*

"Robin-chan! How are you doing this morning? Sleep well?"

*She nods with a slightly amused grin, remembering that before Usopp's distraction Sanji and Zoro were well on their way to consummating their 'honeymoon'.*

"Quite well, cook-san! I should thank you for the chocolate you left our sniper. It was quite good. Did you have a nice night in your honeymoon suite?"

*Sanji paled and mouth drops to the floor. He's pretty sure his brain is close to exploding at the sudden flood of "OH GOD SHE ATE THE CHOCOLATE!" and "SHE KNOWS MARIMO AND I ARE STUCK PRETENDING WE'RE MARRIED!" Along with all the potential images of what she must have done, running back to her room to relieve herself in peace conflicting with the ALMOST sex he had wanted and yet wasn't sure he was ready for with Zoro.*

"That good huh?"

*She smirks as she moves past him down the hall with a bright red face. Sanji can't help but think this is all Usopp's fault.*

*Two minds equally preoccupied

[Che. Okay

[ooc: I remember you asked about the basic plot for this one. Essentially the island got new officials a while back and they decided to just do away with the 'bad element' and had secretly invited all the banished back after a festival and killed them. The festival is still held every year and the towns people started demanding the chance to get SOME of their loved ones back so now the management of the island takes any outsiders that show skill in the games and brainwashes/changes their appearance into some of these families loved ones with the use of a mystic totem. Of course the mystic totem can only do so much so after a few months the replacements go crazy and end up 'disappearing' by being kidnapped and tossed in the ocean. Or something

[ooc: :O YOUR PLOTS ARE ALWAYS SO EPIC.]

"M'not surprised." *Zoro says casually as he accidentally-on-purpose bumps against Sanji's shoulder again.*

[sanjikuroashi]

*Sanji is surprised by the compliment and wants to question it but decides in the end to quietly accept it. Then promptly changes his mind.*

"Really? You never seemed all that impressed before..."

*He tries not to make it sound like an accusation and adds a bashful grin as he bumps his shoulder back against Zoro, wanting even more contact then in public allow comfortably.*
