[ This is it. He's out of that stifling costume. So let's get to writing while his hands are free. ]

[ written ]
Good evening, residents of Luceti. Pardon me, but if I may have a moment of your time, do any of you like tea?

[ action ]
[ Some minutes after the question for the masses, Alf heads outside. Only he's not in his usual attire, and ( Read more... )

[So far, Sanji's been taking some real sadistic pleasure in watching half the residents (males only) struggle with their costumes. Especially now that he's among the suffering.

But Alf's... Er. Comparing it to his own, Sanji's suddenly feeling pretty lucky]

... Are you supposed to be building blocks?

[Action] hakoiri October 26 2010, 23:36:02 UTC

[ At that, Alf lowers his head as much as the box will allow. Sanji asks a very good question. He takes the moment to ponder this. ]

. . . I'm not sure. But I think they're just boxes, strange as it may be.

[Action] oda_hates_me October 27 2010, 00:54:04 UTC

Oh... I still can't tell if that's creative or not.

[Shaking his head briefly] Shit, how do you eat?

[Action] hakoiri October 27 2010, 03:25:53 UTC

In any case, it's certainly different.

[ He stiffly raises an arm. ] I've made it a habit to remove the costume and eat as quickly as I can.

[Shakes his head in sympathy]

You've got terrible luck, kid.

[Action] hakoiri October 27 2010, 04:06:43 UTC

On the bright side, it probably could've been worse.

[Action] oda_hates_me October 27 2010, 04:19:41 UTC

[Grins briefly. Oh you optimists]

True. You could be walking on stilts, on top of everything else. [sends his getas a glare.]

[ Alf's having a hard time lowering his head, so he takes one step back to get a better view of Sanji as a whole. Ah. Shoes with sticks. ]

They do look rather uncomfortable.

[Action] oda_hates_me October 27 2010, 04:50:38 UTC

[Yep, that's basically it. Astute observation, sir]

They make training all the more exciting. Walking, too. [Who knows when you're gonna trip]

[Action] hakoiri October 27 2010, 05:06:29 UTC

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to take a step. [ Ho hum, what was that about training. ]

And I'm curious -- what kind of training do you mean?

[Action] oda_hates_me October 27 2010, 05:37:20 UTC

[Whelp, if it's gonna stick around and chat it up with a stranger, he might as well have a cigarette for this. Pulling out his pack while he talks]

A style I doubt you've seen. [What's the best way to describe it] Like martial arts.

[Action] hakoiri October 27 2010, 06:00:03 UTC

[ As strange as this exchange appears, he can't help it. Sanji would know best that curiosity can be overwhelming. Ginko. Alf's genuinely curious, and it shows in his slightly muffled voice. ]

What is it, exactly?

[Action] oda_hates_me October 27 2010, 08:10:16 UTC

Nosy, aren't you? [His stance sharpens - Why yes, it does remind him of someone, which sadly doesn't save Alf from his next move.

Those shoes don't hinder his movements as much as he complains, and Sanji flips neatly onto to hands before one of his feet skims right in front of the other. It's obviously not intended to be an attack, though who knows if Alf will read it that way.

In any case, once he's demonstrated like the show-off he is, he flips back onto his feet and puts that cigarette in his mouth.]

It's that.

[Action] hakoiri October 27 2010, 13:41:38 UTC

[ He smiles weakly, but since his head is in the box Sanji wouldn't be able to tell. Blast.

Alf's too busy studying Sanji afterward to think it's an attack. After all, a stranger wouldn't hit him during a demonstration. Right? He'd give an applause, but his arms presently don't like him. ]

Interesting! You're right, I haven't seen this style before. It must require tremendous body strength to pull off in battle.

[Action] oda_hates_me October 27 2010, 21:35:49 UTC

[Of coooooourse not, Alf. |D Sanji would never hit a guy during a demonstration.

And that astute observation gains a brief pause, after which there is clear, flickering amusement on Sanji's end. Interesting guy]

Well, I've already trained in the style for ten years. A lot easier to pull off now.

[Action] hakoiri October 28 2010, 00:21:34 UTC

[ Oh, really.

He raises an arm partway, mostly because he can't bend it to cup his chin. But the growing excitement and interest are evident. ]

Ten years, you say? You must be a master by now!
