[001 || Video]

[serving_love]

[The video flickers on, at first giving you nothing but a lovely view of some grass and the tip of a black shoe. The image is shaky as the picture swings from one side to the other, and a man's voice can be heard muttering.]

"The hell is this shitty thing...?"

[Eventually the screen gets flipped around with more dizzying momentum, showing a brief shot of the sky before lowering to take in a very confused face that is definitely looking worse for wear. He stares for a moment before sighing, and then drags his eyes away and instead gives his surroundings a scrutinizing look. As the camera pans back slightly, you're able to take in the torn and dirty clothes, the bruises and dried blood, and the general air of exhaustion the man has about him.]

"...Wonder where that bastard sent me." [He scrubs a hand over his face and through his hair, still muttering.] "Nami-san and Robin-chan better be alright, I swear—" [There's another sigh, slightly wistful this time, before the man looks curiously back to the screen again. Some faint beeping can be heard as he messes around with various buttons, and then the picture cuts out as he grumbles one last thing.]

"Fuck, I need a cigarette."

[raises his eyebrows, duly impressed]

You don't fucking kid. [might normally question how the hell he did that, but for now...] Think you could snap one over my way?

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

I could, if I know where you are.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Man, I don’t even know where the hell I am. [glances away from the screen to take in his surroundings again] Someone said I was probably in...Espoir?

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

Right. Boring countryside, quaint little cottages?

[serving-looove.livejournal.com]

Heh, that about sums it up.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

Are you near anything in particular? A cottage with a number on it? The fountain? Another building?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

I was in a shitty field, now I’m trying to find the nearest road. Couple cottages up ahead and I think... [squints] A pub or bar or something. Is that a pub? Please fucking tell me that's a pub.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

There is a tavern.

Are you looking for a drink as well?

[serving-looove.livejournal.com]

I could use one. Or five or ten. But— [stumbles suddenly and winces a bit, but brushes it off and acts like nothing happened as he keeps walking] I should probably...get cleaned up first. Trying to meet up with my nakama, too—you know a guy named Luffy? Wears a straw hat. And Zoro's the other one, he's this dumbass with green hair. You can't miss 'em.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

I think I've heard of the name before. Luffy, that is, but can't say that I know him.

[serving-looove.livejournal.com]

Hm. Probably lucky. Anyway, I'll have to make it back here for a drink some other time, I gotta get all the fucking way up to the lake right now. Hey—I never caught your name. And I'm still lacking smokes.
