OOC: Log

Who: Vivi and Robin (and anyone else who wants to go looking for trouble in the seedy parts of Qosqo)
What: Looking for troubleTraining, obviously ¬_¬
When: Waaay back on March 31, the night before Usopp's birthday
Where: Qosqo
Why: Because we can

Uneven cobblestones paved the streets of this part of town, but they were easier to walk on than the narrow sidewalks littered with the homeless or nearly homeless trying to sell just enough hay or grain to pay for their next meal. The fact that they were out this late meant that they weren't likely to be eating at all. Robin knew better than to pity them with a coin, and hoped that the sympathetic Princess next to her had learned that lesson at some point, as well. A mangy dog scampered between them at the sound of a whistle somewhere down the road.

Robin sniffed discreetly- where there was booze, there would be the fight they were looking for. She turned down a dark, strangely moist side street and tried not to think about the cause of the humidity that rose only waist high on the walls. Someone's front door stood open at the end of the street, and the sound of music, laughter, and yelling bounced off the mud-bricked walls. It certainly smelled like the sort of place they wanted to go, the bittersweet odor of fermented fruit was strong enough to almost burn, and it took a great deal of willpower to keep from wrinkling her nose.

She glanced sidelong at Vivi, trademark smile playing against her lips.

"Are you ready, Princess?"

Vivi kept thumbing the Kujakki Slashers at her waistband. She couldn't help feeling a little nervous. It was one thing fighting to defend herself and her nakama, but another thing entirely to go out to deliberately look for trouble. You're a pirate, she thought. Get used to it.

She felt a twinge of guilt rise up inside her as they passed the homeless littering the sidewalk, but when she saw that Robin did not stop for them, she hurried on. As they continued, the smell of the alcohol grew stronger and more pungent, much more than she was used to. She felt her head begin to swim from the acrid odor and took a few deep breaths to steady herself. Better get used to it.

She nodded at her companion. "Ready."
