Those Tricky Sneaky Universes
In the Vortex:
Sanji (glaring at Chopper): That was not fair.
(Chopper begins to sniffle.)
Vivi (worried): Oh no・lt;br>
Chopper: I was spammed! (He bursts into tears. Nami quickly gathers him in her arms and the two girls try and make their mascot feel better.)
Nami: Chopper, it's okay. (to Vivi) Could have been worse. I didn't even have a cameo appearance.
Vivi (looking at Shanks): I'm glad we didn't get to Part III of that universe・lt;br>
Luffy (also looks at Shanks): That was weird. Don't you think, Dad?
Shanks (frantically): Not your dad! Not anyone's dad!
Ben: I work with a boat-load of deadbeats...
Usopp (proudly): I keep getting vindicated by the universe over and over again.
Zoro (muttering): Stupid clone jokes.
Shanks: Clone jokes? What about an entire universe mocking my physical disability?
(Sanji curses his ill luck. He knows that series - and remembers how Return of the Jepi begins.)
Sanji: Thisclose to seeing Nami in a metal bikini.
Luffy: Where did Mihawk come from?
Ben (surprised): That's a very good question.
Nami: Mihawk was there before (turns to Sanji) and you still owe me!
Ben, Shanks, and Zoro: What goes on the alternate universe, stays in the alternate universe!
Zoro: And remember Smoker from the time before that?
Usopp (smugly): Which time? I was cool in so many different universes・lt;br>
(Vivi turns white. She's remembered the Pirate Fiction AU and all that she did・
Ben (musing scientifically): We know the universes erase our memories. Perhaps they also use the information in our heads to fill in any gaps in history.
Usopp: Wait a sec. So you're saying that if we think of somebody, they may appear in the next universe we're in?
Ben: Yup.
Luffy: I wonder who thought of Mihawk・lt;br>
(Most everyone looks at Zoro.)
Zoro: What?
Nami (grinning): Nothing.
Zoro: Shut up!
Sanji: Don't tell her to shut up, algae head!
(The Luffy Pirates devolve into confusion and bickering while Ben gives Shanks a 'look.')
Shanks (innocently): That Zoro lad must still be smarting from his defeat at Mihawk's hands.
Ben (darkly): Uh-huh.
Shanks: Ben, don't hold grudges. It's not Mihawk's fault he was elected VP of the Tri-Pis and not you.
Ben (grumpily): I'm not discussing college.
(Usopp clears his mind of everything but - )

Random Quote Analysis
You wear sandals in the snow and your smile won't wash away・- Building a Mystery, Sarah Mac
Nojiko and Kohza: It's about Luffy!
[Excellent analysis, you two. Nojiko, you're gone after this RQA.]
Nojiko (pouting): Why? I like this place. Plenty of beer and the d馗or's homey too.
(Kohza looks around the redecorated RQA space in amazement - it still looks like a college boy's basement. The fact a female would call it 'homey' boggles his mind.)
Nojiko: And if those are the quotes we have to analyze - well, we have it made. Don't you think?
(She smiles at Kohza. He is at a loss for words but nods wholeheartedly.)
[(darkly) That's why you're gone.]

Sometimes you gotta have exposition. And yeah, the purple is annoying. Deal. It's the Smut Garden.
