Pls date your threads.

Bloody Roses, how close we're sailing is up to you guys though probably not enough to just casually swing over without some ability. However, feel free to come encounter us at any time on the island!

Straw Hats, enjoy the veggie rain! Also remember our NPC pirates are Mama's Bone Boys who will attack us intermittently throughout the journey and send spies on board. Let's save the major boss battles til the finale, though, shall we? But otherwise, have fun!

Y-you really think so?

[Her cheeks redden and she looks down at her tail. Is it really that pretty? She always thought humans thought it was ugly.]

That's so kind of you, Anna-chin!

[alovingheart]

[She's glad that went over well. She laughs a little.] You don't have to thank me! And yes, I really think so. Do you not hear that very often?

[seakingbait]

No. Not really. Not outside of this ship at least.

[She gets lots of compliments from Sanji, but really he'll compliment anything with a pretty face and a dress.]

And even that's a new feeling.

[alovingheart]

I'm sorry that you haven't heard it as often as you should. I really do think it's amazing that you're a mermaid. Everything about this place is amazing, really. I'm really glad I got to come here.

[seakingbait]

Me too. I've met so many wonderful people here, and seen so many neat islands.

It's kind of scary sometimes, but it's like a dream.

[alovingheart]

Yeah, from what I've heard from everyone, it seems like there are some things that happen here that aren't so great, but...

[But she's already here now and it's not like she can go back. Nor would she want to, not without knowing that Elsa's okay. And she's already making new friends, too.]

What islands have you been to so far, anyway?

[seakingbait]

There was an island filled spiders the size of houses. Oh, there was also the island where everyone wore ten-gallon hats and rode dinosaurs. Then there was the island that wanted everyone to get married.

[That one was kind of weird, but we got a boatload of treasure from that island, so it was a good thing in the end.]

There was also an island in the sky, with flying whales!

[alovingheart]

[She goes quite quickly through a series of emotions while Keimi's talking. Shock and a bit of disgust when she mentions the island with spiders, a look of curiosity at the mention of dinosaurs, and then laughter and awe at the descriptions of the last two islands.]

Most of those I would have loved to have seen! Especially an island in the sky!

[seakingbait]

I didn't even know islands could fly! It was so cool!

[alovingheart]

[That's probably the island Anna wants to hear about the most. She imagines it was probably really beautiful.] Were the whales friendly?

[seakingbait]

Yes! You could go right up and touch them. I wanted to swim with them so bad but... it's kind of hard to swim in the sky.

[alovingheart]

[She laughs.] Yeah, I can imagine that. But you do have that bubble thing!

[seakingbait]

Oh! Yeah, I use bubbly coral to move around on land.

[She reaches into her backpack and retrieves a small purple piece of coral. She pushes a button on the back, and a large bubble slowly oozes from the other side. It bounces once, then floats mysteriously a few inches from the ground.]

It's pretty hard to fly with them out of the water, but they're great for getting around. Human people like to use them to breathe underwater!

[alovingheart]

Woah... [Anna watches the coral in use with some amount of awe, her gaze glued to the floating bubble for a second, before she looks back at the piece of coral in Keimi's hand.] Is that from here? Or does it come from your world?

[seakingbait]

Mn. As far as I know, they only grow back home on Fishman Island. They're filled with the sap of Yarukiman Mangroves.
