[Voice] Forward dated to late morning

[gomugomunopwn]

[When the journal’s video feed starts, it shows an unconscious Luffy laying face first on the ground, groaning as he begins to wake up from his mallynapping. It takes a few moments, but he groggily lifts his head, looking over to the journal, before reaching to grab it. The view goes obscure and starts to flip and tumble for a few seconds before Luffy’s full face comes into view. He looks tired, but he grins hugely regardless.]

So the orange goes into this bar full of bananas and makes a banana friend. After they have a few drinks the orange says “Want me to pay for it?” but then the banana just shakes his head and go “No. Let’s split it!”[And then Luffy just… bursts out laughing because apparently that was really funny and stuff. Which it ttly was.] You get it!?

Oh, but guys! You picked up my hat right? The “beep beep” robots didn’t take it did they? It’s really important.

It's his job, after all.

[Vivi gives a small sigh of relief. Luffy certainly seems the same as always. She has a lot of questions she wants to ask, but it doesn't seem the appropriate time. But...] Could I come meet you, Luffy-san?

[She's not really sure what kind of stops he's intending to make, but she doesn't think she can just stay around the house waiting for him to get back.]

[howtobeaboss.livejournal.com]

Sure! Where'd ya wanna meet, the plaza!?

[alabastajewel]

[...sure, okay. That's close and easy to get to.] The plaza is fine. How soon will you be there?

[howtobeaboss.livejournal.com]

[Give it a minute or so, and your response will probably just be a loud CRASH.]

What...? Oh, I'm there already.

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi winces a little at the crash, but that seems par for the course for Luffy--probably just more proof that he's really all right.]

I'll be right out! [And she snaps her journal shut and runs outside to meet him.]

[howtobeaboss.livejournal.com]

[And he'll be there waiting for you Vivi. Just he got a little hungry and got something to eat while he waited though. So he'll just be har eating different kinds of meats from a bag. Yeah, a bag.]

[alabastajewel]

[Give her a minute or two, and she'll arrive. When she spots Luffy, there's more relief in her expression--because it's one thing to know he's back, but actually seeing him there, looking fine, banishes the last of her lingering worry. She waves both her arms to get his attention.] Luffy-san!

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

[Hearing her voice will cause him to quickly turn in her direction and give her a big smile.]

Ooooi! Vivi!!!

[alabastajewel]

[She runs up to meet him, beaming.] I'm so glad you're okay. [It bears repeating.]

[howtobeaboss.livejournal.com]

Shishishi! Well of course I am! The only thing that was strong was that I was a little hungry.

Once I fill up, I'll be back to normal.
