[straw_hat]

[When the all clear goes up to return to the surface, the first thing Luffy does is look around to see if the food stores and restaurants are okay. Hey, he's got to make sure his food supply is still around. Some of the stores are all right, some aren't. He'll continue wandering around the city just to see how bad some of the conditions are, maybe dropping by the housing to see how his room is (that being his actual room, not the apartment he's staying with Ace in).]

[Later on, he finally turns on his notebook, fiddling with it until he assumes it's recording.] So, is it normal to have all that stuff around here? The bombs and the gas and those weird mask guys? 'Cause they sure seemed pissed at you guys.

That's the same thing I'm wondering. You must be new too, huh?

[straw_hat]

Yeah. I got here not long before everything got crazy. I still don't get why all these guys are pissed at each other. [That's because you didn't pay attention when told.]

[revolutionized]

There's a war going on. I don't know all the details, but the ones we're supposed to be fighting against dropped the bombs.

ACTION, I CHOOSE YOU

[theguideless]

[Martin doesn't stray far for a handful of reasons, so this encounter is awfully close to the housing itself! he's sitting on a street curb, watching his bare toes curl and uncurl over the cracked pavement...until he hears running and looks up.

hold up, where's the fire?]

IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE

[straw_hat]

[Luffy stops in front of the housing building, giving it a once over to make sure it's not too badly damaged. He stares at it for a bit, talking to himself.]

Wonder if the inside's okay. [And he rushes inside to check on it.]

[theguideless]

A–wait–! [wow. Marty's a little slow on the reaction there, calling out to empty space.

he hesitates, half-risen from where he's perched. a couple seconds more and he stands, hopping over the curb and toward the entrance, looking about. where? the hall? the stairs?]

actionnnn

[flagrate]

[ because luffy's eventually gonna go back to ace's apartment, right?

well, when he does, ace will be conked out on the couch, snoring. because this has been a rough week for him and man he's tired. ]

actionnnn

[straw_hat]

[Of course. Why go to his own, after all? There's a sigh of relief when he sees Ace sleeping on the couch. Better get him a blanket again. He finds one in one of the rooms, and throws is gently over Ace. He takes a seat on the floor, and leans against the edge of the couch, laughing out of happiness to himself.] Ah, I'm glad you're okay. I kinda worried sometimes you would've gotten hurt!

permaction

[flagrate]

[ the blanket falling on him wakes him up, but he stays still in hopes that he'll fall back asleep. when luffy starts talking though, he decides he might as well wake up.

so he reaches out and shoves luffy's hat off so he can ruffle his hair. ]

Worrying's my job.

[voice]

[emptysword]

Well, they did say that help is needed.

[He's completely unfazed by this event; but nevertheless he's also walking around the place; if the sounds were any indication of it.]

[voice]

[straw_hat]

But I don't wanna help 'em. [Nothing in it for him, and so far, he doesn't even like these guys.]

[voice]

[emptysword]

...

[...oh for the love of-]

...You don't.

[musclebeast]

[Nothing is said, just some... breathing?]

Audio;

[straw_hat]

[Weeeell, he can't really hear the breathing while he's walking around. Not directly paying attention to the notebook now, anyway.]

Audio;

[musclebeast]

[Oh good, you just keep being mad then, he'll watch.]

voice;

[crymoore]

I certainly hope that is not tradition. What a strange welcome wagon that would be if every new guest was forced to endure that.

[ Jaina's pleasant as ever, housemate. Unsure if they've might have met already or not sooo... ]

voice;

[straw_hat]

[Uhhhh probably not, since he hasn't even gone to the apartment. |D] That's a stupid way of welcoming someone. Why not just throw a party!?

video;

[sacrificar]

It was the first time, as far as I'm aware.

video;

[straw_hat]

It better not happen again. You've been here long enough to see more?

voice;

[bittertears]

Not the sort of welcome you were expecting, I imagine.

voice;

[straw_hat]

I wanted a party.

video

[fintastic]

No, not really! I mean they are always pissed at us, but that's the first time there has been bombs that I know of.

video

[straw_hat]

Geez, what did you guys do to piss 'em off so much?

video;

[shutupmerlin]

Did they? Here I'd thought they'd just come by for tea.

video;

[straw_hat]

No! People don't drop bombs on people when they just wanna have some tea! Geez, are you an idiot? [You brought this on yourself also this tag amused me the most, thank you so much.]
