017 [Voice, backdated to Sept 5th]

[deathsdoctor]

[Hello Luceti. You’re greeted by the sound of a journal opening and muttering. And in the far background, rustling. Like something is squirming around in the distance - wrapping, twining, growing.

We might have a problem here.]



Is there anyone in the village with extensive knowledge of fairy tales? We have a situation on our hands we could use some advice dealing with. [Or maybe even a rescue, but Law’s pride keeps him from saying that much - for now.]



Thorns. [Katara’s voice piped in.] Lots and lots of thorns. They’re growing and overtaking the house, and we’re not sure why.



We think they’re connected to a kidnapping effect. The lady affected has been in an unnaturally deep sleep for days and nothing seems to wake her. [Nothing. Not even beer bottles perched on her head. 8|a ] Has anyone heard of anything like this?

((This is an open post that can be fielded by anybody trapped in the house. Threadjack to your hearts’ content - Law’s journal is made to be snatched from him and anyone else who has it.))

[Pinching, pinching his nose harder. Shit, those words are physically painful in ways he never imagined.]

Tch, does she even have a true love? [Tone heavily implying that as far as Sanji was aware? No, no she doesn't.]

[Vivi shakes her head.] I don't think so, no. [It seems unlikely, at least, and Vivi is fairly certain that if Nami did have someone she cared about like that, she'd've told her about them.]

[She glances back to Sanji, unsure if she should ask...] Maybe--have you tried kissing her, Sanji-san? You may not be actually royalty, but...[Mr Prince. It's a huge stretch and Vivi knows it, but just as in her case, could it really hurt to at least try?]

[You know what? He'll just let Sanji field that one.]

[concasse]

Oh, I already tried that. [Oh yes he did. ] Seems like I don't qualify either.

We're gonna need the real deal. [Otherwise he'd get their self-proclaimed Pirate King on the scene (What? Luffy is infinitely better than everyone else available)]

[alabastajewel]

Oh. [Wilting slightly. Hey, she'd be willing to dress in drag and try it again, but somehow she thinks the shift or spell or whatever it is won't be fooled.]

Well...I could try and get a hold of Ling-san. He's a prince!

[deathsdoctor]

[The party-crasher?]

He's already on his way.

[concasse]

[Must... resist... hissing--]

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

He is? That's lucky!

[Vivi notices Sanji bristling and tries to subtly lower his hostility with a comforting pat on the shoulder.] I hope that will work. [Since if not, they're fairly out of options.]
