The First Step beyond The End [COMPLETE]
Character(s): Monkey D. Luffy
Content: Luffy's start into Paixao
Setting: Niflheim Gates (and slightly beyond)
Time: Morning
Warnings: None! Open to anyone!
"Maybe...I wanted to come here..."
The world, blurred and lost in a indistinguishable sense of haze and blinding white to a curious new traveler, suddenly came into focus as Luffy took his very first infantile step forward into a grand new world. In that very first step, he found himself not standing on the rolling bow of his ship, staring out across the lapping waves of the sea, but instead, in the all-engulfing shadow of the looming and monstrous city gate towering before him. He hadn't the faintest idea how a simple step forward had carried him across entire worlds; he didn't really want to know, either. He had simply felt something pulling him forward, urging him to step into something unseen, something urging him into a world of light.
"Maybe...I need to do something here...?"
"Wow...wow! Wow, look at this place!" he shouted. Gazing up with a sense of awe visible in his features, Luffy began to frantically take in his new surroundings excitedly, and staring forward sharply, he immediately began to run around in place while waving his arms about in the air. It was an odd display, but Luffy's exuberance simply could not be contained. Thinking solely of the inspiring sight stretched out in front of him, any shred of thought towards his arrival instantly vanished. It really didn't matter how he had come here. No, this was simply a new place to explore! A new place for adventure! Isn't that all that counts? Laughing, he held tightly to his treasured hat and dashed straight for the gates ahead, his eyes glued towards the top of the walls, and the city beyond them. He was practically bursting with anticipation, disregarding all sense of everything around him, save for his absolutely rampant imagination.
WHAM.
"Whoa, hold up there, young man!" Luffy had run straight into one of the city gatekeepers, crashed, and fell straight back onto his rear end. The gatekeeper seemed strangely unphased, and extended a hand to help the young man in the straw hat back up to his feet. "Maybe you ought to watch where you're going around here? Don't want you causing too much trouble."
Luffy, dusting himself off with quick brushes of his hands, smiled awkwardly, and gave a quick and apologetic bow. "Sorry!" he gasped. "I just got here, so I really wanted to see what was inside, so I had to come running, and I ran into you, and I'm sorry!"
"It's alright, it's alright..." the guard stammered, caught off guard by the boy's strange nature. He held out his hands calmingly, gesturing for the new arrival to calm himself. "Since you're new here, you'll need this." Extending out a strange little device, the gatekeeper offered Luffy a small, smooth box-like thing, with a polished surface in the front so polished, Luffy could see himself in its window-shaped sheen. "This'll be your new journal. I'm sure you can figure it out...you kids these days are so good with this kind of stuff," the gatekeeper added, chuckling.
Luffy was never one to turn down a gift, although he wasn't so sure exactly what he had just been handed. Curiously, he stared at it with a rather blank look in his eyes, then held it up just beside his ear and shook it sharply, as if listening for something inside. "Uh-huh. Gotcha. Journal." he finally replied, still looking a bit confused, but happy just the same. "Naa, thanks!"
The gatekeeper smiled. "You're very welcome. Enjoy your stay here in Paixao."
"Maybe it's a good thing that I'm here. I think maybe...this is just the right place for me to be right now."
Luffy was never the type to think things through very far. He much preferred to act on instinct, and it was instinct, pure and simple, that led him to take his next steps forward into the city.

So she'd stuck with Stitch instead (retrieving her journal out of the tree first, of course - still no reply from Yuna or Paine, though). It wasn't long at all, though, before she heard somebody yelling from overhead, and when she looked up, there was this guy in a funny hat soaring over the streets right above them.
"Whoa, check it out!" she shouted to Stitch, following the boy with her pointer finger until he grabbed a pole and landed on the roof of the next building. At this distance, and with nothing to scale him against, she'd jumped to the conclusion that he would be a fairy like herself, and that idea was really exciting for a girl whose world had been destroyed years ago. In fact, she momentarily forgot that Stitch probably couldn't fly. "C'mon, let's go see who that is!" she exclaimed, and darted upwards past the windows.
But when she reached the top, she was a little bit disappointed; Flying Funny Hat Guy was just as big as everybody else around here. Oh well, so it went.
It was about then that she remembered Stitch, though. "Whoops!" she exclaimed, and looked down to see if he was following. She was always forgetting little things like that.
