Cookout Mingle | OPEN TO ALL

Who: ANYONE AND EVERYONE!
Status: Open
Where: The beach behind Darin and Zelda's cottage
What: It's a cookout! Even if you don't know the hosts, it's open!
Warnings: Summer!



[On a weekend early in the month, if you happen to be on Eltrut, you might smell something pretty delicious. That's because Darin has seen how much stress everyone is under since things got intense between the armadas. And what's a good way to loosen up? By taking a day off, relaxing on the beach, and eating a ton of delicious food!]

[The beach behind Darin and Zelda's home is an idyllic spot for a large gathering. There's a grassy slope leading down to the beach and a large swath of open sand to sunbathe and relax on. There's even a small pier that Darin built himself for you to leap off into the ocean, should you choose!]

[There's plenty of towels, chairs, umbrellas and parasols, and you better believe there's plenty of food. Darin himself is manning two enormous grills and serving up burgers, hot dogs, kebabs, whatever you want! When the sun sets, Darin will start up a bonfire for people to hang out by and relax! Got fireworks? Bring 'em!]

[Guests are encouraged to bring friends and neighbors, to spread the word, bring whatever food and drink you'd like to contribute, and anything else you might want to have. Snacks? Games? Drinks? Darin's got coolers ready for you and all he asks is that you have a good time! Anyone caught harshing the vibes will be pitched out to sea by the host himself and everyone will laugh.]

[Hell, he might just toss you if he thinks it'll be fun so let's not rule anything out.]

(OOC: Please feel free to make your own top level with whatever you want! The house will be open for people to change into swimsuits, naturally, and you can stay for as long as you want!)

Oh... I get it.

[ She slowly nods, moving to wipe some tears from his cheeks. ]

If something like that happened to the Cloudslayer, I think I'd be pretty devastated.
reindered: (Everything that)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-19 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Cloudslayer?

[Even just that name sounds so cool! Enough that it distracts Chopper from bawling quite so far, one eye closing instinctively as she wipes at his cheeks. She always seemed to have interesting stories to tell. Just like Usopp!]

Was that your ship back home? Or. Ah, what you used to fly?

[ Distracting him with one of her favorite things? Win-win! ]

That's right! I use it to fly my family all around the world, and it's big enough to carry all the treasures we find!
reindered: (And take)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-21 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Treasures?

[Like how Luffy and their crew were looking for the One Piece? Even as he is a doctor, he is a pirate. He can't help being curious about the treasure, the stories she might have. It would be neat to hear, and to be able to tell the stories to the others of his crew if and when they get here.]

A-huh! Me and my family are explorers and adventurers! We go everywhere and anywhere to find lost cities, ancient relics, and uncover mysteries!
reindered: (Searching for)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-22 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaah! That's like us! Looking for the One Piece!

[Maybe not lost cities or mysteries, but they do kind of get into a lot of shenanigans along the way. Unintentionally. As one would expect from their ragtag crew of found family, their dynamics together. He's sure she would have a lot of exciting tales to tell. Just like Usopp did. ]

The one piece? ... One piece of what?

[ Like a giant puzzle? Or a collection? ]
reindered: (All your)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-24 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! The treasure that Gol.D. Roger hid somewhere on the Grand Line, and so now lots of pirates are looking for it! My captain back home, Luffy, wants to find it and be King of the Pirates!

[And, well. Chopper wants to help. To help Luffy and all of his friends reach their goals. Their dreams. Together, surely they could do it. He's sure of it. And, of course, he wants to support his friends here, too. It's just obvious that he has spent more time with his crew back home, so knows them and their dreams well.]

Whoaaa... dude, that sounds absolutely amazing! A king of pirates? I've never heard of anything like that before! Your world sounds totally cool!

[ If One Piece manga exists in the DTverse, expect Della to become an avid reader. ]
reindered: (That I've been)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-26 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! That's Luffy's dream! Like Nami wanting to map out the whole ocean, and Sanji wanting to get to use all kinds of foods from all over. I want to support them and help out as much as I can. Sometimes it might be a little dangerous and scary, but. We're a crew.

[Which means, as much as they might bicker, they are family in their own way. Even if Sanji and Zoro might never want to actually admit that.]

And what about you, little guy? Do you have a special dream of your own?
reindered: (Proves)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-27 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
Me? That's easy! I want to be a great doctor who can cure any disease!

[Hence. Travelling with the Straw Hats. If he needs to learn about different ingredients and cures, different diseases, he has to travel. And even here, Chopper is trying to ask around about different illnesses, so he can try to be prepared if he can.]
