[ Today, you are having a perfectly normal day. Perhaps you are on your way to the battle dome. Perhaps you're walking home along the path. Perhaps you're in the middle of town. Or perhaps you're heading further north.

If you're anywhere along this meandering south-to-north route, a young girl is going to slam into you at a full tilt. She's very sorry; she didn't see you there. But she's got this sense of absolute panic she can't quite shake, and she wants to get home right this moment.

In her disorientation, she has, of course, forgotten she can access magical portals of darkness. Forgive her; after all, she spent rather a long time here without them! And who wants to be messing about with the forces of darkness when they are too panicked to think straight?

Anyway, she may slam into you so hard that you both fall over. Or maybe she'll just knock you off balance. Either way, there is now a very startled, dazed, and still somewhat panicked teenager staring at you with wide eyes. She's barefoot, and her dress is dirty, but she seems otherwise alright. What will you do? ]

Well.... [cautiously, still looking for external sign of anything amiss] I suppose that's good, then.

[ ... she sees that look. ] Ginko, I'm okay! Really. [ After a pause, with a good-natured smile ] You worry too much.

[MUTTER] Not too much, just enough...

[but he smiles] Anyway, it's nice to see you back. Seems like they took quite a few people, all at once.

[ That, abruptly, sobers her up. She tries to speak evenly, but it comes out with a note of pleading ] Ginko, um ... you haven't -- do you know if Luke came back before I did?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Mm? No, I haven't heard anything. It's ... actually been a little hard to keep track, lately.

... right. [ Tries not to look crestfallen. Fails. Though the way he phrases that... she gives him a vaguely concerned look ] Why's that?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Well, [carefully] a lot of people have been taken, lately. [there might be more to say, but he doesn't really want to be the one to say it, just now]

[ ... she frowns, deeply, in concern. ] Ginko...

[a deep sigh, rubbing the back of his neck]

You should talk to Sanji.
