three // [action]

[The lack of Zoro may have only been felt by a select few, but the angry looking child walking around the village proper should be of some interest to anyone just kind of hanging around. Clad in a slightly raggy outfit, leaves sticking out of his hair, he doesn't look like he's had a proper bath in days. But don't worry, folks, moldy green is his natural hair color. Strapped to his back is a familiar white katana; on his face: an equally familiar dark scowl.

If he looks a bit twitchy, forgive him. He's been hiding out in the forest and Luceti hasn't been very kind to him these last few days. He'll just be wandering around town, peering curiously through shop windows and trying to pretend he wasn't lost.

At some point in the day, he's gonna find that he's hungry enough to go ~~begging~~ demanding food at Seventh Heaven ~~or wherever Sanji is at the moment orz~~. Maybe they'll let him chop wood in exchange for a meal. Hmm, hmm.]

((ooc: The boy arrived September 30 so feel free to run into him when/wherever. Replies will be coming from

zorichan this time around. Have at!))

Ok. You get the food. I'll get the... soda. [He's gonna break away to go fetch the drink so if you have any requests, Ikki, better make 'em quick else he just grab whatever he thinks looks the most soda-like. :I

Also, keep an eye on him would you? The boy gets lost walking in a straight line.]

Okay! [ She turns to give the order before realizing that, uh, she probably should give requests. ...Especially because there's more than soda over there.

...yeah he's totally not going over to get the soda is he. ]

Hey! Wait up! [ ARE YOU DITCHING HER ZORO ]

Hm? [He gives her a weird look.] What?

...I thought you were going to get sodas? [ You know. In that OTHER direction. Where she is again pointing. ]

[no he's not blushing why do you ask]

Oh. Right. [He does a rigid 180 and heads in the right direction this time.]

[ she's just going to follow you Zoro while EYEING YOU suspiciously.

you cannot escape this lunch it is happening gosh darn it. ] Anyway, you're going to looooooove soda!

[If he's looking a bit sour it's just because, damnit girl, you're hurting his pride. He can do this, you'll see, he-- crap, how did the soda get over there? Rawr, stop moving!

They get there (eventually) and, he has to admit, he's a bit out of his league here what with all the other drinks available. He looks to Ikki for help.] Which one?

[ SHE'S 90% CERTAIN HE WAS TRYING TO ESCAPE, OKAY. But that percent lowered as they walked and Zoro showed a really impressive ability to veer off randomly.

it's like a super power.

The response to his question is instant. ] Orange soda! That's Uncle Sokka's favourite!

[O-kay. The orange one, then. He grabs two cans and offers one to Ikki.

......... so. Now what?]

You open it like this! [ THIS SPECTACULAR TAB THING YOU FOLD IT LIKE THIS DO YOU SEE? and then it makes that pop-fwoosh sound and you can drink it like this.

this is the perfect drink. ]

[Zoro observes her actions carefully, then turns to his own can. Curious. He puts it to his ear and gives it a little shake only to hear... well, nothing. Sloshy sounds, mostly.

Alright then. Time to give this thing a try...

Pop-fwoooOOOOOSSHHHHAdasihbdjvsdk.] Wha! [Bubbles ooze from the can at an alarming rate. Distressed by the sudden burst of soda, Zoro helplessly holds on to it with one hand. It starts dripping on his shoes.] What happened?!

Edited 2012-10-08 06:10 (UTC)

[ And she's just. Laughing. Because wow she hadn't caught him in time and they're making a bit of a mess. Ikki does finally manage to stop laughing after a minute, though. ] ...Yeah, I forgot to say "don't shake 'em".

Here! [ Ikki hands him her opened can, and grabs some napkins from nearby, pointing at a trashcan. ] Hold it over that 'till it stops, or throw it away, and I'll try to clean this up!

[He follows her directions, feeling kind of ridiculous. What kind of evil drink was this soda thing, anyway? The bubbles stopped soon enough, leaving Zoro to peer warily into the can. There was about half of it left, as far as he could tell.

Being careful not to shake or jostle it in any way, Zoro takes a cautious sip. Then coughs. While a lot of the fight had already gone out of it, the fizziness was completely unexpected. He takes a larger mouthful, swallowing hard and making a face at the end of it.]

Sweet. [he chokes out like it's a bad thing.]

[ The wet napkins go in the trash. Ho hum.

And she'll take her soda back and take her own sip, giggling again. ] Yeah! That's why it's good! And it fizzles!

Cough. [Yeah, he can see that. >_o] I think my nose is burning.

[And his stomach's bubbling too. He doesn't think the soda's helping any.] Can we get food now?

Yep, I put in the order, so you sit down right here [ she is WISE TO YOUR WAYS mister, you are going in this chair at this table here where she can see you ] and I'll be right back with the food!

[ True to her word, Ikki comes back with glorious food. ...It's two sandwiches, some bags of chips, apple slices, and chocolate chip cookies for desert. Her tastes are not high class. ]

[He's been pretty obedient so far, why stop now? He waits for her patiently, fidgeting in his seat and toying with the tab on his can. Gross. His hand feels sticky.

Zoro brightens up a bit when he sees the food. High class? What's that?] Thanks. [He grabs a bag of chips, looking at it a bit fearfully when he realizes he's gonna have to open it with force.] This won't explode will it?

No - [ Wait. She pauses, because it could open up too fast if he like, tries to tear it in two. ] - just don't do it too hard!

[ Demonstration time again, with a little jerk to open the bag of potato chips.

Salty deliciousness. ]

[It's a good thing he asked; he tries not to pull too hard but he still manages to rip the bag right down the side. A few chips fall to the table, but he picks them up and puts them in his mouth before too much time passes.

Woah, salty. But there was something kind of addictive about the chips and Zoro soon found that he was enjoying them quite a bit.] 'sgood.

[ This kid does not know the meaning of gentle, does he? Ikki kind of gives him a look at the bag ripping, but she's more amused than she isn't.

Her own bag has no such rip, and she's eating them pretty slowly, one at a time. Chips are a treat, after all! ] They're made from potatoes! ...I think, anyway? That's what my grandpa told me.

[He'd say something but he's too busy stuffing his face. Right before his last few handfuls, Zoro gets a thoughtful look on his face.

Chew chew chew--] Hey, Ikki... [He's got a question for you but, uh, give him a second to swallow this bite.]

[ She probably wouldn't have cared if he'd talked through it. But she stops slowly going through the bag - she's halfway through now, okay, it just takes a while because some people like to chew - and looks over at Zoro curiously. ]

Yeah?

[crunch]

... d'you think I can meet your uncle?

Uncle Sokka? Sure! I don't mind introducing you sometime.

[ sipping some more of the soda. It's so fun to let it just. Bubble. ]

[Hi Ikki. Meet Zoro's Failing Not to Look Too Excited Because I'm Not Used to Hiding My Emotions face.]

Ok!
