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!

[nods grimly, though he's not going to tell her about the children. Nope. Screw that week.]

There doesn't seem to be a way to stop it, unless there's someone out there with magic we haven't tapped into yet.

[alovingheart]

Do you get any advanced warning, or...? How long does it last, anyway?

[yourotherleft]

Not really, no. Eh...it can be anywhere from a day to a week, I think. Although, I don't remember how long people were possessed, it seems like it was longer...

[such a cheerful ray of sunshine, this one]

[alovingheart]

Oh... I guess that's just something I'll have to get used to. I mean, as much as anyone could... get used to something.. like that... [She doesn't necessarily look scared at the prospect, more just... confused.]

[yourotherleft]

[he sighs, because he knows. Yeah. Sorry Anna.]

That's about all any of us can do.

Anyway. Welcome aboard.

[alovingheart]

Thanks. Uhm, I guess I'll walk around a bit, like you suggested, but can I ask a question first?

[She doesn't wait for him to say yes before she proceeds with the question. Or, actually, several questions.]

Why did Luffy want me to pick a lock in the uhm... the food.. storage.. place? [Her ship lingo goes about as far as 'captain,' 'first mate,' and possibly 'ahoy.' We're sorry, Zoro.] I mean, since he's the captain, couldn't he just ask whoever has a key to open it for him? Or... shouldn't he have a key?

[yourotherleft]

[oh did he now? Zoro claps a hand over his face.]

It's locked because of him. Cook keeps the fridge locked so Luffy doesn't clean us out of all our stores. He has the appetite of a hundred men and no sense of restraint.

Don't open it for him, he can wait until mealtime like the rest of us. Or eat the vegetables that rained down the last few days.

[alovingheart]

Oh... [While Zoro looks exasperated, Anna is just trying to hide her amusement. 'Cause a lot of what Luffy's done so far has resulted in amusing her.]

...I guess that's one good reason to have weather that brings you extra food!

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, if it had been a meat rain, he'd be in heaven.

[he sighs, and then cracks the smallest smile] That's Luffy. Get used to it.

[alovingheart]

[Since he's smiling, even just the smallest bit, she figures it's okay to laugh. And she does, shaking her head.]

He's, uhm. He's a character. But I like him. I'm glad that this is the crew Elsa is on. And I'm glad it's my crew now, too.

[yourotherleft]

[ohhh? That kind of confidence does impress him, not that he shows it much besides blinking]

Good to hear.

[alovingheart]

Yeah... Okay, well, I'm gonna go do the whole walking around thing now, if that's alright with you...? I'll, uh, try not to be so noisy. [We make no promises.]

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, all right. [not that she needs permission, but he raises a hand in a brief wave to let her go anyway.]
