[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."

...You're fucking late, asshole. [That is not buried relief in Zoro's voice, nuh-uh.]

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

[AND THAT FACE]

[Somareyland isn't being mean or anything is it? That's really who he thinks it is?!]

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

[Luffy's first thought: MY FRIEND IS BACK!]

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

[Luffy's second thought: FOOD.]

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

[Annnnd Sanji directs an extremely bewildered look back to the screen of whatever the hell this thing is, more than a little shocked to see Zoro's shitty green head there.] ...Zoro??

done

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

...When's lunch?

2/2

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

[There's a brief flash of not-relief across his face, then confusion, annoyance, more confusion, more very much NOT-relief, and finally—Sanji just casually looks away] Oh, I get it. I'm in hell.

[INSTANT AUTOPILOT] [and also instant moving this fake-shitty-den-den-mushi-thing as far away from his ears as possible] Dammit, Luffy—it'll be ready when I say it's ready!

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...

[Wait.]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

[Luffy can't be here, not possible, Sanji definitely remembers hearing him yelling somewhere in the background when Kuma's shitty paw came swiping down.]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

[...But—Sanji glances back at the screen and frowns—that's...definitely Luffy.]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

[And then the rest of what Luffy said finally catches up to him.] Wait, what the hell do you mean, here again? What IS this shitty place??

done!

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

—Hang on. [Now he sounds almost angry.] Why are YOU here?! [More specifically, why are you here SANS NAMI-SAN AND ROBIN-CHAN—but he'll get to that soon enough] What happened back with that other asshole???

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

[Wait, this exact conversation happened with Zoro a while back. Luffy connects the dots easily enough.]

...Huh? You don't remember Somareyland either?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

[Totally pretending not to see any of that stuff crossing Sanji's face, for we are manry men here. And then a frown twitches across his face.] What? Don't be an idiot.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...Somarey—what? [Scowls.] No, why the hell would I? We haven't been to a...something-shitty-land or whatever.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

It's the only explanation for why I'd get sent to some shitty place with you and not— [cuts himself off, scowling at nothing in particular] ...What the fuck is this place, anyway? I mean. [peers closely back at the screen, trying to gauge how beat to hell Zoro may or may not be] I'm guessing you've been here for more than ten minutes.
