Hello, this is Haruno Sakura again.

I was wondering if someone had a list or information about the sort of plants that are available in this world? I would look myself but I don't have access to a library... or any plants that I can study. Sometimes books don't have every bit of information someone needs, anyway. So if anybody has taken it upon themselves to start-

[A pause before she sounds grave.]

- it could save lives. With the green plague spreading so much lately, there's a chance it could steadily take out the entire population of this world if a treatment isn't found. It doesn't hurt to prepare for the future either, in case any more plagues decide to break out.

And someone refuses to give us details about it because of a policy. [She sounds a little more bitter and annoyed here. Speaking of that particular someone, they had mentioned something else.

She sighs.]

A history of diseases would be helpful too in case anybody has that.

Your word choice implied you were leaving the crew.

Oh! No! Not at all! [someone has to control Naruto]

I just meant that I've never had to be on a ship at sea for this long. I miss solid ground a little.

Hmm. I suppose I can't really relate. -lacking legs, and all.-

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

Oh...

[that's right Soga doesn't have legs. FEELS BAD]

I-I didn't mean--!

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

-She can only giggle a bit.- Now now, I'm not offended or anything.

[PHEW]

I wouldn't blame you, if you were.

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

Ah, I've been a spirit for a long time. Such things really don't bother me at all, any more.

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

[but by the sound of it, they used to]

Did you lose them or... ? [pause]

I'm sorry, that's probably too personal.

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

It's alright. You see, ghosts corporeal forms are often determined by their level of spiritual strength, or at least the extent of that strength at the time of death. Most ghosts don't have corporeal forms at all. I actually find myself rather fortunate to have as much as I have.

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

So you're very spiritually strong.

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

Well... I suppose so. But more that I held onto a grudge so firmly, that it kept my soul from going to cross the river...

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

I guess stubbornness is good for some things.

And bad for others.

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

The soul is a funny thing, like that. It's hard to say if it's good or bad. Is an existence sustained by such a thing truly existing? One has to wonder.

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

You exist. I wouldn't be talking to you otherwise.

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

Literally, yes.

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

As long as someone believes in something, you exist. When there's nothing to believe in or nothing to fight for, that's when you don't exist.

Even if it's just stubbornness and the unwillingness to give up. I exist because I won't give up either, Tojiko-san.

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

-A small, weak chuckle.- That's... honestly rather comforting to hear.

Re: [voice]

[slugly]

Good. It was supposed to be.
