piratejournal | Tag or Seek, Fishman Style [voice] [action for Spades]

'Kay, seriously. WHY THE HELL'RE WE GOIN' 'ROUND THIS DAMN REEF 'GAIN? Been circlin' this shitty thing for like a MONTH or some shit. Honestly!

[OKAY so it's only been a couple of weeks. But still.]

Runnin' outta damn fish 'round here cuz the schools is all swimmin' off. Not that anyone other'n maybe Nami gives a shit, but if we don't head off for an island soon Y'ALL'RE GONNA BE BITCHIN' 'BOUT STORES AN' SHIT. Did someone let Marco drive or somethin'?

Really though there's somethin' important I wanted t' say. 'Bout swimmin'. This's mostly for the Spades cuz I ain't 'round no one else t' fish y' outta the deep but it's a good thing for y' t' talk 'bout in yer crews. Who the hell knows how t' swim? Who don't know how t' swim but could learn? How many a y' out there's a bunch a shitty hammers an' all y' can do is sink? If yer a Spade, sound off here before I find y'. Else we'll find out the fun way which ones a y' float, sheheheheheh!!!

[True to his word, Namur will be stalking about both the Sun and the Moon. If he catches someone that hasn't already talked to him about their ability to swim (or lack thereof) he'll promptly throw them overboard. For science, or some shit.]

You'd think sea pirates would place more urgency on that sort of thing.

To answer your question; yes, I know how to swim if absolutely need be, though I'd rather keep my wings dry.

[said rather pointedly because he's pretty sure he's high up enough not to be thrown overboard but he never knows with you people]

Can; don't wanna. Got it.

'S why I'm askin'. Been awhile an' we got all kinds a folk with differnt abilities an' shit an' I don't wanna go divin' after someone when I ain't gotta.

Sure, sure, makes sense. I hear drowning can put a real damper on a fun time.

Right?

Least 'round here ol' Jonesy'll spit y' back out somewhere.

Is that why you feel it's safe to be tossing your unsuspecting crewmates into the deep?

Naw man. 'S safe cuz I'm right there watchin' 'em. Think I'mma let someone drown? Shit.

I only wanted to know what to suspect when I suddenly hear multiple people going overboard.

One at a time, dude. If a whole bunch a people's goin' overboard at once y' better get fishin'.

Ah. Might've been the splash of you going after them, then. Pardon me, I didn't realize your testing methods were so hands-on.

Oh. Yeah, prob'ly. Hands-on's the best way t' learn somethin'. Ain't never learned a hell of a lot outta books an' shit.

I can appreciate that mentality. I just figured the asking would be enough.

'S why anyone answerin' on the journals ain't gettin' dunked.

[Seriously, it isn't rocket science.]

Anyway what kind a bird're y' s'posed t' be?

[Naesala just enjoys bothering the crew, really.]

Well, I'm "supposed" to be a raven.

A'ight so tell me 'bout ravens. The hell they do, other'n fly 'round an' drop shit everywhere?

...Charming.

We're a proud people like any laguz. In my world, we're mostly known for our agile piracy and mercenary work.

[and other derogatory things the Spades don't need to know]

[What? That's what birds do. And fish swim around getting shit all over in the water. Facts of life, man.]

Agile piracy and mercenary work, huh? Sounds like a couple people I mighta met a time or two, sheheheh! You a captain, mate, mook, or what? Usually back home, I mean.

We're not pirates in the conventional sense of the word. We raid the ships that pass our nation, yes, but hardly have need for sailing ourselves. [because birds]

So, not captain. King.

Oh ho~ 's that a fact? Ain't gonna cause problems 'tween y' an' Ace, will it?

Hm? [Well, he's been annoying so far, but...] Why would it?

King versus Captain an' all that shit. I dunno. Sometimes people who's used t' havin' all the power an' makin' the decisions have a hard time givin' it up, catch me?

Ah. That. A few months late for that sentiment to come up, isn't it? No, I knew what bringing Leanne to the Spades meant. I'm no stranger to dealing with beorc authority figures.

Besides, if anything truly disagreeable came up, I'd leave. The most I've had to deal with so far is his thick-headed nonsense.

Jus' now learned y' was a king, dude. Seems like the exact right time for me t' ask y' that kind a thing, t' me!

Right, right, fair enough.

I'm not sure Ace is even aware, anyway. I've no reason to start trouble.

Well, make sure it stays that way, huh? the longer y' stay, the closer y' get as nakama, the harder it'll be jus' lettin' y' leave.

[Like, you know. Some others he won't be mentioning at the moment.]

Y' don't jus' quit yer captain cuz y' didn't bother seein' who he was 'fore he done somethin' y' didn't like. Catch me?

Given that he seems surprisingly more honorable than I originally expected, I honestly don't foresee him making any unanticipated calls that would cause me to...abandon ship.

[Naesala still has no intention of becoming that close with any of them, really. Or let himself believe he's truly a part of the crew. But they don't need to know that.]

However, I confess 'nakama' is not a term I'm familiar with.
