Use--? [Blink. And derailed for a moment. There's a small, guilty part of her that doesn't want to go that far, given what he did for Noel, but--

--well, this is about going home.]

...could do. I was thinking in terms of break and enter. [Like the thief she is.] I wonder how hard it'd be.

[concasse]

Don't know. I doubt he's got a welcome sign that'll point us in the right direction.

[Which begs the question if the door leading to him - assuming there is a door - isn't some shifting technology beyond their level of comprehension.]

Who else knows about your plan?

[mikangirl]

Nobody, yet. Just you. Just... well, the bones of a plan. So far, it really only goes as far as getting hold of that Shifting technology. If we can work out how to use it, maybe we can mount our own investigation outside the barrier.

[...]

There are some people I spoke to today who might be able to help.

[Largely, it's what her question was all about.]

[concasse]

[It's a start, and despite the many variables that go into it - all the "maybes" and "ifs" - Sanji can't find any huge faults.]

Who?

[mikangirl]

Two fellow thieves and a scientist that specialises in gamma radiation. Which, on further explanation, turns out to be the study of how energy ... [Thinking back, how did he put it--] "How energy travels from one source through some kind of material or space."

[Which, on her limited recognition of the higher sciences, sounds remarkably similar to the sort of physics that might govern the barrier. >>]

He's probably smart enough to work out how Malnosso technology works.

[concasse]

... So it really could work. [They even have someone on their side who, theoretically, could act in Catherine's steed, should he prove to be less than helpful]

[mikangirl]

[Such a statement brings a gratified smile to her face.] It could work.

[It probably won't. But it has the possibility.]

[concasse]

... Well then.

When do we start?

[mikangirl]

[...Sanji, you don't know how relieved she is to hear you say that. Brightest smile ever.]

Kind of now. Though I figure the best way to broaden our chances of actually succeeding in taking that stuff is to use some of their 'rewards' from the missions. Like the barcode stuff. We can check out what opportunities the missions give us at the same time. I know realistically that if they really want to find us they probably could, but I think they'd also have to be actively hunting for us. So... we might be able to use it to hide ourselves from detection when we try breaking in.

[concasse]

[Good; she had the same thought he did.] In that case, we should go on a mission together. [And soon, from the sounds of it]

It'll give us the equipment we need faster, if we leave at the same time.

[mikangirl]

[Nodding.] I'm gonna recommend that anyone helping does the same. The barcode stuff is expensive. By the sounds of things it'll take around three missions to afford it.

[So we're talking months here, really.]

[concasse]

Three? [That does sound rather stiff in price, but then... well, the things you really want usually aren't free or cheap] Alright then.

[His serious expression loosens a little] We've got nothing but time in this place. It'll keep us busy.

[mikangirl]

[She smiles at that. It's easier with crew on board. Luffy will support her on this also, she knows, but he doesn't have the head for strategy that Sanji does.]

Thanks, Sanji-kun.

...I guess I should leave you to your walk, now.

[concasse]

... To be honest, I'd much rather escort Nami-san back~! [His mind is full of thoughts - different ones from before they started out, which he's grateful for. The idea of going home is more a comfort now than a burden.]

If you're heading that way, of course.

[mikangirl]

...yeah. I think I am. It's been a long day for me.

I think going home for a hot drink and then bed would be great.

[concasse]

Right, Nami-swan~!! I'm yours to command~! [He's talking about the drink. Probably. There are absolutely no extra implications in that statement that would sum up Sanji's position on this conversation. B|a

But in any case, time to turn back and start on their merry way. Adventure time has ended]
