[ it's a sheet of default golden peacock hotel stationary that's been slipped under nami's door that reads the following: ]

woke up with your heartstopping beauty on my mind
sending you a sweet kiss through this letter to hope your day is as lovely as you are ♥

yours always,
sanji

（ he's still mulling that strange conversation over in his mind when he makes his way down to where she'd suggested they meet. she already knows what he looks like, and he at least knows to be on the alert for a similar enough hair colour for it to have caught her eye, so he's not worried about that half so much.

he's just — a little on edge. he hasn't left his room much, has talked to people even less. he's a little skittish, jumpy in a way that speaks more to trauma than anxiety disorder. when he sees her, she somehow looks just how he was expecting.

maybe a few centimetres taller??

but he does raise a hand in greeting, a brief flash of the diamond insignia tattooed on his right wrist, worryingly darkened, and then stuffs his hand back in his pocket. he's wearing all black, more because it's a familiar comfort, a callback to his shihakushō than any dramatic propensity for hot topic. ）

Hey. Nami?

( it takes some time for any word to come back after he... notices the map. did he check things out before responding — u bet. not the horny zones, but whatever. as a thanks, there's a man ( a member of the zoro club — as evidenced by the shirt he's wearing with a big Z drawn on it made of three swords... ) that knocks on nami's door to hand over a non-descript paper bag. inside are several tangerines and a bottle of unopened beer. and a really sloppy note that reads:

thanks. not tainted fruit & veg in ~~concer~~ conservatory. beer isn't either. birds aren't so asshole if you beat them up

and, no, he doesn't bother signing it. )

nami.

i was talking to that j person and he left this message "The house is inscrutable to even I. How about that?" and i was thinking what if j is not saying i like i but i like j?

[ very late one night, that nami might even already be in bed, ]

don't want to bother you but
are you awake?

[ cntd ]

[ The enthusiasm is admirable maybe, and it's not like she hasn't walked into more than one room in this place she wanted to turn and run right back out of - but, run where, exactly? Still, he's agreeing, and that's a little more important than privately mulling over the lack of real escape options available to her or any of the other guests. Roche's offered arm is enough to pull her from her thoughts, and she pops the second candy in her mouth freeing her hand up to loop her arm through his. ]

I like drinking at Red Cardinal. [ Nobody bothers her, and the drinks are strong, the fact that it seems like one of the least horny places in the casino is a happy bonus - usually. ] Work for you?

[ Considering she's already ushering them towards the exit, not quite aware that the flush slowly starting to work its way over her body is more due to the candy than the thrill of escape - hopefully, it works for him. ]

Glad you didn't want to stay either. If I had to make pleasant conversation with a stranger without a good drink again... [ This is more her speed, those icebreaker questions at the speed dating tables almost drove her crazy from the inanity. ]

[ cntd ]

[ Whether or not she has more experience than Tifa when it comes to kissing other women, the thrill that rolls through her and keeps her nerves jangling with a pleasing, earnest want feels wholly new, unique to the soft hum that passes Tifa's lips and conjures it to life, unique to just being around Tifa.

Nami's touch is slow and light, pushing Tifa's top up as the pads of her fingers run up her sides, privately basking in the perfect balance the other woman seems to have struck between strong and somehow deeply fragile at the same time. It's a delicacy that Nami doesn't want to trample, a sincerity not unlike the one she sees in Luffy - a trait she finds easy to adore.

Heart beating fast when she finally breaks away from that kiss, Nami stays close enough that her forehead brushes against Tifa's, hands stilling once they're perilously close to taking off the other woman's top, wanting, but not quite daring yet. ]

Do you want to get closer?

So, I have more sex questions.
You wanna answer some for me?

[ cntd ]

[ For once, he looks at her like that, and Nami isn't instantly struck with the sense that she's getting into something that could easily overwhelm her. There's so much depth to the way Sanji feels. Nami envies his ability to do it so readily and comfortably, to look at her and let himself adore her in a way she's only comfortable doing when the moment's grown so heated that she's got an excuse to wave it away later if she has to.

There's no warning bells that she's toeing the line and getting perilously close to in over her head right now - even with the cheesy jazz still smoothing its way through the airwaves. If anything, the outlandish setting might be making it easier to let herself reach for Sanji, who she knows is in his element in a room like this one, and let him do everything she knows he wants to.

A part of her melts having her face cradled like this, the hand still caught between their bodies loosening its hold on his belt and moving down to massage the firming line of his cock. ]

There's a lot we didn't do last time Sanji. [ Murmuring low against his mouth, she halts any coming reply briefly when she's drawn into the need to kiss him again, the thought of the things they didn't do, and all the things they did do the last time they were together line this fanning the heat already playing over her senses. ]

[ cntd ]

[ That smile - it may be softer than Mitsuru meant it to be, but Nami enjoys it for reasons beyond business arrangements, emboldened by it enough to step closer while Mitsuru turns to look back towards the selection of harnesses on the nearest wall.

Settling against her equally pragmatic friend's side she glances towards the strap-ons as well, smirking wryly as Mitsuru's words send a prickle of awareness through her. ]

And I'd like to show you how I do.

[ Nami's voice is quieter than she intends when she answers, the hand on Mitsuru's hip tracing absent patterns. A thousand filthy images dance through her thoughts, leaving her breathing a little more heavily, and asking her next question with her lips close enough to brush Mitsuru's ear. ]

Do you want me to fuck you, or are you going to give me something to handle?

[ Sometimes logistics can be a whole new kind of fun, this place has certainly taught her that much by now. ]

( The staff have been trying to explain the concept of valentine's to Luffy. He's not sure he gets it but they've also helped the guy write a poem, sensing it over without a hint of hesitation.)

roses are red, violets are blue, you do me and i'll do you.

[ ♥♥♥ ]

[ More than what they're about to do, the sight of his grin and the reason Luffy gives her for his choice make Nami's heart race, leaving her smiling back at him while she nods slowly in agreement. ]

Good, I wanted to see you too. [ Pressing one more absent kiss to his cheek, another tell-tale sign of how at ease he always makes her feel, Nami moves to climb out of the bathtub, fetching the toy he picked and the harness beside it. She fits the fake cock through the front of the belted garment while moving across the room towards another door than the one they entered through. ]

Come on, we can't get comfortable in the tub.

[ Not knowing what's on the other side of the door she pushes open, Nami isn't surprised to see that much like the rest of the resort, the room is occupied with a bed, and everything else people might need to help them fuck. While she waits for him to join her, Nami belts the harness around her waist and guides the pair of straps meant to secure it against her body around her inner thighs and up the outside curve of her ass. Which, in her experience wearing something like this, makes her backside look terrific, in addition to being practical - two things Nami enjoys. ]

[from this prompt]

[This can't possibly be indoors. Or rather, this amount of outdoors can't possibly exist in here. Yu has been in the Vale for what seems like hours, if not most of the day, just-- exploring. He thought he'd trace the river to some kind of source, maybe find whatever device (or...magic?) is feeding water into the place, but he's been walking for about as long as he can with no luck.

This place is gonna drive him nuts, he can already tell. How can it be so real when it's all fake by design? Anyway, he's taking a break by the riverbank when a raft floats by. He's not eager to seem as frustrated --or bewildered, maybe-- as he actually is, so he puts on an easy smile, although he still looks kind of beat.]

Going my way?

[It's a joke. A dumb one, to be fair. He steps onto the raft either way--carefully; shockingly, rafting does not seem to be his specialty.] Thanks for the lift.

[Funnily enough, that despite being here for months, he really hasn't gone out of his way like this to contact another person. Maybe a couple of times before, but nothing frequent. It's not like he's nervous or anything, but ah... he wants to say the right thing still. Not completely mess things up.

He's been meaning to talk to Nami again after their last encounter, maybe take her to a nice dinner? Just try and get to know her more.]

Ah, Nami? This is Scott, Scott Summers. Can I have a moment of your time?

Many weeks ago on the network you offered maps of the resort for trade. I was hoping I would find you still willing and able to make this deal.

queen nami.
heard there is a party.
i want in.

[ and then much later, she adds, as if an afterthought, just realising. ]

congrats.

✨YOU HAVE BEEN CORDIALLY INVITED TO✨
A DAY OF PLEASURE AND DELIGHTS
With Buggy the Clown 🤡
Text is good for one free request of your choice ✨

[Was Rinne waiting in the casino specifically for one pirate to come? Absolutely. Did she know about it? Not at all. Not that one can probably tell that was his real reason, since he's hitting up the pachinko machines and testing which ones feel rigged or not. Lady luck seems to be smiling on him today, because he's getting a fairly decent payout this time.

That, and his target finally arrived after... about an hour of waiting. Casually. Like he wasn't just there pretending he wasn't going to ambush her or anything.

Which is why Nami's not even going to get a normal greeting. Normal greeting is for chumps. Instead, Rinne just gets in her way and grabs her around the waist, taking a hand in his and twirling them around, before he dips her towards the ground, careful not to drop her.]

Hey pretty lady. We're goin' on a date.

[ cntd ]

Should I dress up, or undress?

[ cntd ]

It's bigger than it should be, and that's not even the weirdest part of this place.

When I got here I woke up in a jungle, naked, so yeah, just a bit.

[ cntd ]

They do what you want if you tell them it's turning you on, so I send them on errands.

Meet you at the library, I'll bring the booze.

[ cntd ]

She wouldn't be able to resist both of us.

So tire you out first by getting sweaty, then read. Got it.

Happy Birthday, Nami. Care to join me at Crane's Respite for a bath? Don't worry, I've ensured that the two of us will have whichever bath we want to ourselves. Or we can just explore the pools.

[ cntd ]

[ It might not be the reaction she's expecting to what she tried to play off as a passing remark, rather than own up to whatever fondness she harbors for Ragna directly, but she gets it. ]

Weird being appreciated, huh?

[ Her full lips curve into a wry smirk as she looks over at him with slightly lifted eyebrows, her expression a good deal less guarded than it should be as she subtly tries to show that she understands how he feels.

Thankfully, when he calls her a good person it breaks the moment for her enough to laugh, waving off the remark before she leans across him to pop open the cooler full of drinks. ]

Not that long ago, you'd be in the minority with an opinion like that.

[ Holding up a bottle, she looks over her shoulder at him, cocking her head in offering. ]
