[Hesitant at first] H...hello.

[Stronger]Hello, everyone. My name is Nico Robin and I'm happy to be back. And um...New Feathers...

[A rustling noise can be heard as if she's reading from a paper. She clears her throat] I will be happy to tell you anything you need to know about Luceti. Please come to me if you have any questions or concerns ( Read more... )

hello who are you?, post mallynap, new and improved

... Robin-chan?

[If this were any place besides Luceti, Sanji wouldn't believe what he's hearing]

Oh, um, h...hello.

[Her voice sounds small]
You um...must be one of the known-before people.

[You might hear some shuffling]
I...dunno if I can talk to you.

But-- "known-before people"?

Robin-chan, what do you mean? [There are some very concerning implications in that statement] Why wouldn't you be able to talk to me?

U....um...someone...someone said that you might make stuff confusing...and make me unhappy again.

B...but I like the sound of your voice so...maybe it's okay?

[His visible eye nearly narrows into a slit; whoever this "someone" is, they'll be going on Sanji's ass-kicking list the moment he gets a name.

But Robin's next confession takes him back a step, and he can't help grinning a little - a grin that gains outward cheer to hide how off-balance he feels talking to his aged-down nakama.]

Oi, I'd never do anything to make Robin-chan unhappy~! I exist to fulfill your every wish and desire! [Which better include stealing you back home at some point. B|]

[You get a sort of nervous giggle.]
You're really weird, mister. Were we boyfriend and girlfriend in a past life or something?

... [WELL. His silly, hormone-induced wishes aside...]

N-no, no, nothing like that! [You're a few steps out of his league, there]

You and I are nakama.

Na...ka...ma... Oh that means like a team, right?

[She really likes that word for some reason.]

But that's before-time so it doesn't count. I'm not supposed to think about anything from before-time. It will make me unhappy.

[A little pause]
Being happy is good. We should all be happy here.

You're right; being happy is very good. [Not that Sanji feels happy right now. If anything, he's trying to muffle the growing sense of urgency before it turns into panic]

But can you explain what this before-time is exactly?

[A rustle of paper]

Before-time is the bad time when I was sad and unhappy. The desperation made me do many un...uncon...uonconscionable things so I was reborn to Luceti so I will never have to be alone. Therefore, before-time should be avoided at all costs for the benefit of all parties.

... And you think you were completely alone in the before-time?

That's what he said. He said I was alone and didn't even know it.

[She frowns and you might hear it in her voice]

He...he also said you might try to t...trick me. But you wo...wouldn't do that, would you?

[She doesn't want to believe it. She likes your voice too much to not believe but your words are making her nervous.]

Reply

[Voice] odastillhatesme November 17 2011, 04:44:12 UTC
No, I wouldn't. [Heh. For now he won't. But you'd be surprised what Sanji would do if it meant getting you to come home.

He's got his best well-meaning and placid expression on, coupled with a soothing voice. This'll take some finesse and word-phrasing.]

But why do you trust "him", Robin-chan? Who is he, anyway? Is it okay to tell me that?

[Voice] toujoursbouton November 17 2011, 04:47:54 UTC
No, it's not okay! I won't tell. I'm not supposed to. Why do you want to know? You're from before-time.

[paper crumples]

He...he helped me. Saved me from being hurt and made me happy. He w...worked really hard s...so don't mess it up!

[Voice] odastillhatesme November 17 2011, 04:53:06 UTC
[Taken aback by that reaction] Okay, okay! You don't need to tell me.

Sorry; I guess it's hard for me not to worry.

[she hesitates and then sighs.]

It's okay, mister. He just...he gets mad sometimes. But I'm happy so don't worry.

[a pause]

I should stop talking now...

[Another pause]

But I don't want to. Do you know any stories?
