Log 001 [Action] Storming your castle

[toujoursfluer]

[There's a troll in your dungeon Robin in your bedroom. Don't get too excited Sanji certain people, she is not there for your entertainment. Perhaps the Malnosso are just messing with her, or perhaps she's just messing with you. In either case, she's obviously a new feather, judging by her garb, but then again perhaps not.]


[Ooc: Time breakage and thread-napping are great. have fun, kids]

Comments

[toujoursfluer]

Yes. I can feel sensation. Heat, cold. It's somewhat muted. [and they can get hurt a lot, though perhaps this woman doesn't need to know that.]

Useful for feeling out just the right amount of pressure to break a man's spine, though...

[doubleppk]

[She was wondering that because otherwise one could do anything. And also it means Robin won't go running around willy nilly busting up her traps.

Ironically though, that statement doesn't unnerve Fujiko at all. Fujiko's fears tend to be almost backwards sometimes...]

But she nods along like it's a perfectly normal thing to say.]

Yes, yes, I can see where that would be useful. I suppose you wouldn't ever need a gun with those. So long as you know anatomy well. Um. Let me just... get the rest of the traps. Lupin tends to go straight for the bedroom, but the traps slow him down since he gets a kick out of being a pain and disarming them all.

And he's in the doghouse. Or wolf house. Because he's a serial liar, thief, moron, jerk, and acted like things would be different -- which they never are -- and wound up sleeping with someone and other things. I think he wants the punishment though, but I tried just leaving him to his own conscience and that didn't work. I'm not really sure he has one.

Um, are you a new feather or did you just get back from a kidnapping? [Fujiko hops out of bed in her flimsy nightie with some garter belts and a corset looking thing (more traps actually) and sets about disarming a whole series of things in her room to make it safe to traverse. To note: laser beams, a nocked crossbow, a rolling spinning wheel of doom, a saw, more bear traps, and a few things that don't have anything visible just the quick sounds of gears and mayhem.]

[toujoursfluer]

[She has quite an array of traps in here. Robin is more than a little impressed. She can't decide, though, if Usopp would enjoy this room given all the gadgetry, or be terrified of it. No question what Franky might think...]

Not quite either. I've been gone for two years my time, but I remember this place. [Though she couldn't remember remembering it at all during her time at home. As if the memory was buried deep in her subconscious]

Your...wolf seems rather persistent. It seems like you really care for each other.

[After all, someone who would need to set this many traps shows some level of dedication and almost fondness.]

[doubleppk]

Oh, I see. Um, welcome back I suppose?

[Fujiko frowns at the suggestion and vehemently shakes her head.] No, there's no caring. He just likes to be annoying. [She knows it's not all true. If he didn't care, he wouldn't be annoying. And she could just go to the mountains or on another mission like she'd been debating...] Che maybe I should just go back to the mountains, or on a mission. But then I'd have to reset all these when I got back anyway, and if anything, it would just give him more time to disarm them.

You're right that he's persistent though.

[toujoursfluer]

The persistent ones can be aggravating. [It's the determined ones you have to look out for] Why do you think he tries so hard?

[doubleppk]

True enough.

Che... because he likes being annoying. And he wants to get somewhere, but I'm never going to let him.

[toujoursfluer]

I see. Would you like me to try and discourage him? [Stubborn or not, she's very good at discouraging (and encouraging) people. Especially men. Just ask Franky and it's been a while since she's had the pleasure]

[doubleppk]

Uh... [Oh, she's tempted. She doesn't even know what Robin would do and she's tempted. However...] I think Grell was already debating killing him and I'm a lot more tempted to take her up on that. [N-no not really, Fujiko would be very very sad if Lupin got killed.] But you could always offer to help her. Although I'm not sure if she's trying to discourage him or encourage him, to be honest.

[toujoursfluer]

I don't think it would matter if you killed him here. [At least not initially.] But I could think of a few things that should haunt him for a while at least.

[A beat and then]

Who is Grell?

[doubleppk]

Don't kill him though... because there's still you know... death penalties and stuff... [And she will be dramatically quoting Heathcliff and standing on cliffs and drama. Not worth it.]

Um, she has really red hair and she's super tall, I mean even a little taller than you. [And damn Miss Robin, you are quite tall.] She's one of the people here, she loves theater, fashion, and Shakespeare. [Nod.]

[toujoursfluer]

I certainly won't kill him. [She doesn't do that sort of thing anymore unless she has no other choice. Though she will definitely make him regret the day he was born because, well, that was just entertainment. Grell also sounds interesting. She has only seen a little of Shakespeare herself, but what she has seen, she enjoys.]

I'd like to meet her. Is it safe yet, Trap-san?

[doubleppk]

[Blinks at the name about to point out that she's not a male in disguise, before she realizes where the name comes from and just nods.]

Mm-hm! You're good to go. I'm Fujiko by the way. Fujiko Mine.

[toujoursfluer]

Nico Robin. [She rises from the bed, raising her eyebrows at more traps she hadn't seen. He really was determined, wasn't he? There was something to be said for that. Things such as, larger traps.]

I hope we meet again. Though perhaps in less...intimate circumstances.

[doubleppk]

[A small laugh.]

That'd be preferable. It was nice meeting you anyway despite you know... all this.

[toujoursfluer]

And you as well. Perhaps I might borrow a trap from you one day. [She smiles.] You know, just for fun.

[doubleppk]

Hm? Oh... hum... sure! What kind though? Because the bear traps are only to be used on humans. [Rubs the back of her neck.] I should probably stop leaving them out. Raphael got put in here by the Malnosso once too and nearly broke his shell...

But yeah, definitely not allowed in Moro's forest. The boxing glove spring is the best one! Even Lupin can't disarm it, but with all your um... hands... it probably isn't as necessary, you know?

[toujoursfluer]

Oh, I don't know. I would have to find out where I would want to use them.

[Since she doesn't have anything planned per se, she just likes to have options.]

[doubleppk]

Okay, let me know!

The lasers take a long time to set up though. And they never work on Lupin, they're just the best to snag other people. [Or they would be... if there were in fact other people she needed to worry about. There aren't, but don't think that will stop her paranoia.]

[toujoursfluer]

Lasers snag people?

[She cocks her head to the side. Lasers are slightly unfamiliar to her and she's not entirely sure how they can go about snagging anyone.]

[doubleppk]

No, they're like trip wires, they trigger other things. Except come to think, trip wires at least can usually trip someone...

But they're messier since you can't just make an instant grid like that....

Or maybe you could using those little measuring tapes that really roll back quickly, you know what I mean? Hm... I should try that.

[toujoursfluer]

It seems somewhat convoluted. And not entirely effective except to slow someone down.

[If she were to trip someone up, she would prefer to do it with her own two (or three or five or a dozen) hands]

But I suppose that's all right as long as you don't mind the inevitable.

[doubleppk]

Yeah I think I got distracted. You're best off borrowing the bear traps, just don't use them on the wildlife.

[toujoursfluer]

Even those aren't infallible. Though I suppose it just comes down to knowing your prey, ne?

[doubleppk]

Mm-hm! Different traps for different people. The bait has to be different too; depending on the why I suppose.

[toujoursfluer]

What did you do that you needed to become so advanced at this? [It can't all be because of her...friend.]
