week 7, saturday w/ sanji

[alchemenace]

[ he did it as a ghost earlier but the second he gets sanji alone sanji is getting another quick hug

to celebrate that they're alive, obviously? ]

I'm glad you're okay.

[ listen he had like. one doubt. ]

[it's okay, Sanji put on a brave face but he also had like. ten doubts going on simultaneously.

He smiles at the hug though, and returns it just as quick]

Same to you. It's good to see ya alive again.

[alchemenace]

[ big mood.

he beams up at sanji after the hug ]

Ha, you're telling me. I didn't want to die in the first place, and it turns out being dead sucked too. Go figure.

[ this is clearly time for shitty jokes as always ]

[concasse]

[HONESTLY if you can't make a shitty joke at the finish line, when can you make a joke?]

Shit, I couldn't stand feeling like an ice cube for the five seconds I was a ghost. It was torture.

[SANJI LIKES TO KEEP WARM, what can he say.]

... But what now, eh? You going back home? You going... somewhere else?

[alchemenace]

I didn't make that wish to save my dad just so I could never see him again.

[ it's deadpan, but it's. also the entirety of his reasoning. he doesn't really feel attached to corona anymore for some reason ]

I'm not really looking forward to going back to jail, but. There were a lot of worse options.

[concasse]

... Could you maybe tweak up an ending where you're not in jail?

[THEY GOT THE INK.

Get yourself a better ending]

[alchemenace]

Uhhhh. I don't ... know?

[ he hadn't thought about it at all (wisdom -500), and it also seems ... complicated. and god the power to rewrite an ending is, um. hm. it's a lot. is his heart over revenge enough to give him that power tbh ]

[concasse]

Hey, I'd at least consider it.

Whatever you might've done, you don't need to go back to jail. Fuck that country.

[SO DECREES THE PIRATE]

[alchemenace]

[ ... varian feels like he should be honest, so: ]

Um, stealing from the King, general treason, kidnapping royalty, and attempted murder. The. Last one was. Under mild emotional duress.

[ like he only kind of regrets it even now but it's. still more than he did at the time, so he is aware he probably should not have done it. at least. ]

But I agree.

[ he still hates corona ]
