piratejournal | [Voice - Action to those around]

[the sound of a low, long deep whine could be heard. It's been a little while since the woman's voice came out of his journal and he promptly ignored it after a while. But now he was somewhere near water (you can hear it splashing around) as he talks.]

This doesn't smell like home. I thought I got left behind, but this doesn't smell right. The sea doesn't feel the same. Where is everyone? Captain? My idiot crew? Jean Bart even! Nothing is right. [it's a cast call, sure, but he was asleep at the time he was with them all last and now he's not... there. It's weird.]

[he tapped the journal on the dock he was sitting on, talking to it.] Where is everyone! [his paws went high above his head as he yelled that last part, falling backwards on the deck. SO all you hear is a thunk.]

--------------
[Action: For anyone around, they might have seen a bear in a orange jump suit just yell out into the world and flop back on the deck. Don't mind him, he's just feeling left behind and lost. Maybe he should have read this stupid note in this stupid journal.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He just doesn't know who he's talking to is all. Hello mermaid girl. He'll be glad (shh) to know you made it out alright in the end.]

That was a long time ago. You're still sticking with Straw Hat?

M-more like he stuck with me. When we arrived here, he invited me to join his crew.

[wait....] You weren't on his crew before this?

No. In fact I never even dreamed of being a pirate until all this happened.

[a smile in his voice. Pirates aren't bad. Just tough!] It can be fun, huh. Adventurous!

[Don't worry, Bepo. Keimi is the last person you need to convince that the pirates are the good guys.]

It has been a lot of fun! Sometimes it gets pretty dangerous, too, though.

Dangerous is all part of the job.

[big talk. He's not a chicken, but he doesn't mind avoiding needless danger.]

I guess you're right. Still, I'm not a fighter. I've just been trying to make myself useful in other ways, instead.

Knowing to fight is good, but you don't need it. Not with all those meat-heads on your crew. What are you good at?

[THIS conversation was a TON better then talking to Luffy. SHE was calm and nice. He liked her.]

Well, Luffy-chin asked me to be his navigator. I've been learning, but it's a lot harder than it looks.

[She was so used to just asking fish for directions, but she quickly realized that they weren't as reliable as she had believed.]

Oh! You're his navigator! He mentioned you. [When he asked if he was a doctor.] I've been a Navigator for years. I can show you some things, if you want. While I wait to get back to my own crew, back home.

Really? I'd really appreciate that! I'm already taking lessons from someone, but he's with another crew, so I can only visit him every few weeks. If I was learning from two people, I would learn twice as fast, right?

[Math. She has it.]

Right! [What? That wasn't logical math? He thought it was.] And we could teach you different things too. The more the better, right?

Even better! I'll be a great navigator in no time!

And you don't even need to know how to fight to do it! Though... it helps.

Y-yeah...

I'm just... not sure how good I'd be in a fight. Compared to people like Luffy-chin and Sanji-chin, I don't stand a chance.

[he frowned at that, and spoke carefully, as if he was trying to speak slowly enough to make his point]

Sometimes it's just the small things that help others win a fight. Never doubt that. I bet you're super helpful. We'll make you twice as helpful soon.

You really think so?

[That... really means a lot, actually.]

I'll do my best.

Yep! I do. I used to be a weak cub. Now I'm epic! [Again with the manry voice... proudproud]

[Cub? Are little humans called cubs? She had no idea.]

That sounds amazing! Teach me to be epic too!

[How insulting! He's not a human! He's a bear....baw.--But he's really excited that ANYONE would want to learn anything from him. most of the guys on his crew scoff at him for most things he says...]

Yeah! Of course! I can teach you to fight too. Or at least defend yourself. You'll be amazing, watch! [look, he gets really excited sometimes, when people want to look up to him. That's not too often.]

That's great! I can't wait to be able to defend myself! Thanks so much!

[You're so enthusiastic! He really likes it and can't wait to come meet you. He wouldn't mind seeing Straw hat again too. Or the others. You aren't his crew though, but still...]

We'll make it work! Someone's giving me better instructions then Straw Hat did. I think I might be able to find my way to your ship here soon.

[She's a Straw Hat now! That's what's important!]

Really? That's great! Get here soon so I can meet you, okay?

[That is pretty important.]

I'll try! We'll meet soon!

[with that he's going to try to find this place the other woman was talking about, and join Straw Hat for a bit while he figures how to get back to Captain.]
