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

[om_nom_namur]

'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.]

Listened t' the journal today?

[reluctantjinrou]

No, I haven't looked at it yet.

[om_nom_namur]

Oh. Well that's a damn shame.

[Ask him why, Natsuno. Do it.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[Of course he needs to.]

Why is that? Something important?

[om_nom_namur]

Kinda.

[Namur grins, wide and toothy.]

Makes what I'm 'bout t' do make a hell of a lot more sense, that's for damn sure. Sheheheheh!

[And then he tackles Natsuno, quickly hefting the boy up over his shoulder. Namur hops up on the edge of the crow's nest and jumps abeam, launching them both into a breathlessly long drop to the ocean as the ship sails away beneath them.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[He can't fight the cry as Namur launches them into the ocean. That was a long hard drop and he lands with him with a big splash. The water soaks into his clothing as he kicks his feet and breaks the surface, taking a deep breath.]

HEY!

[He treads water a little bit. He can swim moderately.]

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur surfaces a moment later, still grinning like a bastard and trying not to laugh.]

Mandatory floatin' test for anyone that don't pipe up on the journals 'fore they get tracked down. Looks like y don't sink at least, so that's a plus. Got anythin' more'n duckpaddles?

[reluctantjinrou]

[He swims around a little bit, a front stroke.]

Very funny.

[He rolls his eyes at Namur.]

This is about it. I learned to swim when I was a kid and that was awhile ago now.

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur nods, swimming alongside.]

A'ight, that ain't so bad. Prob'ly not gonna do a hell of a lot a savin' if a bunch a people get swept over but y' could prob'ly get yerself back t' the surface, eh?

[reluctantjinrou]

I can manage this much.

[He nods in agreement.]

It's enough to survive, probably.

[om_nom_namur]

Most times, sure.

[Namur dives, and pops up on Natsuno's other side.]

How long can y' hold yer breath?

[reluctantjinrou]

I have no idea. I'm not sure I can drown. Hmm..

[Sure, he's breathing, but did he have to, or was it a habit? His heart was beating, so theoretically he should have to breathe, however his blood wasn't normal and may not need oxygen circulation. It was something interesting to consider.]

[om_nom_namur]

Ain't gonna have a better time t' figure it out. Yer already soaked an' y' got yer own personal lifeguard.

[Namur points down at the water, bouncing his hand a little. Translation: get to it.]

[reluctantjinrou]

Alright, alright.

[Natsuno took a deep breath and sunk below the water.]
