[Action] 006

[If people happen to be passing through Community Building 7, floor 5 today, they might want to watch where they're stepping. There was a young man passed out and face down in the middle of the hallway and he was garbed in new feather clothing.

---

Sometime later that day, into the afternoon, this "new feather" will have wandered from the building and making for the plaza to get something more suitable to wear than just new feather garbs. After that...he could go back to his place, but the night was still young. He still felt a little out of it, but he wasn't so tired that he wanted to go home and rest.

He may reconsider that later after stopping by the the Good Spirits Bar though. :|; ]

[ooc: Alexei has been de-aged to his 20s upon his return. He still has his memories though. Some responses will come from destinetofall.]

[Good lord, how old is he?]

Yeah, that's right-- [He stares blatantly, and guesses] Kidnapping?

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

It was sometime after we all came back from the battlefield. I think I was fortunate this was all they did.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

I'll say. Seems like a shitty waste of everyone's time. [Guy got off lucky]

You sure that's all they did?

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

I...think so. I don't feel any different.

I still remember everything.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Even your future, huh?

Guess it's the best of both worlds for you.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

It is rather kind of them...

I heard a massive fight broke out in the village while I was away.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji can't completely hide how he tenses around the shoulders, like he's been pricked by an invisible force]

... Yeah. [He blows smoke out his nose, considering the amount of non-damage] Was a damn mess. We lost a few people, too.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

Well, death isn't exactly permanent here. Everyone who was lost should return in due time.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Somewhat coolly, he replies] They already have. [But he doesn't let his edginess climb any further than that - it would require a more thorough explanation; one Sanji isn't willing to give]

And everything's been taken care of, anyway. With any luck the Malnosso won't go fuckin shit up for a while.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

I see. It's doubtful, but one can hope.

What exactly happened? I didn't receive a lot of details.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

An attack was staged by one woman. Didn't know who she was -- [lies] -- but she took an entire afternoon to defeat. Most who fought against her didn't come out untouched.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

One woman alone?

And all of you took care of her in the end? Permanently?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[A moe character, that's who]

That's right. [This too could end up being a lie, if Noel comes back as Kusanagi. It's not a thought Sanji likes to consider] You can find the announcement on the journals - Adell put it up.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'll look into it then. If she's a resident here, then this village could be in danger again upon her return.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[... Stop reading his thoughts, Alexei]

Yeah. It's a possibility. [His chest feels heavy saying this] We'll just have to take her down like last time, then.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

We're not going to do something the moment she returns? Because I've been getting the impression she'll attack anything for no reason at all.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

For all we know, she has returned - and no one's heard a peep because she's keeping low.

-- Besides, I might not know the entire story. You know how the shitty Malnosso like to meddle. That girl could've been a casualty in her own way.

[destinetofall.livejournal.com]

...Yes. I didn't think of it that way.

My apologies. I am merely frustrated that I wasn't there to assist.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji grunts lightly, and shrugs]

Forget it. It got handled. And there'll be plenty of other shit for you to help out with.
