Private, to Coby's crewmates:

I'm certain some of you are enjoying the spoils of this island, but for the rest of our trip, I request that I remain on the ship.

Public:

I cannot, for all intents and purposes, recommend docking at an island titles 'Fibers of Georgia'. Ultimately, it has been a needlessly stressful short span of time. For what it's worth, this is simply my opinion--but after sailing on the Grand Line and within the New World, I've never had such an unpleasant experience.

[Coby, on deck, had been wearing a pull-away police officer's uniform. It was meant for a stripper and not an officer of the law and on Fibers of Georgia, that distinction was extremely important.]

For now, I must pen a number of apologies. If I'm needed, I'll be in the supply room.

Yo, Coby! What's up?

voice

[chore_boy]

Oh, it's nothing, Mister Luffy.

I'm just... checking in, I suppose...

voice

[allendsmeat]

Hehh. What is that place anyway? It sounds pretty exciting! Are there a lot of monsters? Did you almost get eaten?

voice

[chore_boy]

[Coby sounded exasperated.] Mister Luffy, is it that you hear the words 'unpleasant' and 'stressful' coming from me and you think they're positive recommendations?

voice

[allendsmeat]

Because you're a pretty scared guy. Anyway I bet it's really cool. What kinda stuff goes on there?

voice

[chore_boy]

Hmmmnnn. [That was an irritable noise, but Coby still didn't respond to it.]

It's an island where people fawn over clothes in unnecessary ways.

voice

[allendsmeat]

Mmmmm that's boring, Coby. [Keimi might like that but it didn't seem very dangerous to him] Make it more interesting.

voice

[chore_boy]

[As if Coby would tell him everything--only half truths...] That's all I have to say, Mister Luffy...

Perhaps you wouldn't like the island, after all?

voice

[allendsmeat]

Dunno if I like it or not. But it's definitely a little interesting if you don't want me to. You're a navy guy after all, na!

[bloodheels]

I'm sorry to hear an island wasn't fun for you. Not all of them are I've found myself.

[At least she isn't asking why. She doesn't feel the need to never the less.]

voice;

[chore_boy]

I apologize if my opinion seems harsh and boundless, but I have no inclination explain, Miss...

voice;

[bloodheels]

I don't think it was harsh, I mean everyone is allowed to have an opinion.

[She pauses for a moment before she knows she is meant to give her name.]

Lenalee. My name is Lenalee Lee.

voice;

[chore_boy]

Oh. Hello, Miss Lee. My name is Coby... [He wasn't sure where this was going, but at least nobody was yelling at him!]

voice;

[bloodheels]

It's a pleasure. [She has no reason to yell at least.]

Apart from that island, how have things been for you? I hope it hasn't been too bad.

voice;

[chore_boy]

N-No, it's been just fine! You don't have to express worry, you know!

voice;

[bloodheels]

Sorry, sometimes I can't help it. I mean after all we're in currently in the same situation.

voice;

[chore_boy]

...[His jaw dropped.] I hope you aren't!

voice;

[bloodheels]

I believe I am. I mean we all are in some way after all.

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

Unpleasant? [He had never heard of a island that was so unpleasant before.]

Was this 'Fibers of Georgia' really that bad?

voice;

[chore_boy]

I would rather not explain, but I certainly found it to be genuinely unpleasant!

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

Then it must have been bad. I can always tell me crew to avoid it.

voice;

[chore_boy]

It would be fair to at least say that getting supplies here isn't difficult, but a prolonged stay wouldn't do you any good...

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

Okay... I guess I can tell them that if I ever need to. So where will you head to next? Has your crew decided?

voice;

[chore_boy]

Oh, we haven't. We all vote, so I would have to wait for everyone to arrive...

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

You vote? I thought the captain just choose where we headed, or is it just different depending on the crew?

voice;

[chore_boy]

We don't have a captain. It would resemble a pirate crew even in minor ways if we had one.

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

Would it? I mean on ships there's always a captain, pirate or not.

voice

[greenshoe]

How can an island that sounds like a fancy pillow brand be unpleasant?

voice

[chore_boy]

...Miss, I don't understand. [The author does and that's what really counts. Thread counts. badum tssh]

[greenshoe]

Ahh well.. it sounds like it's a nice island and not one that's bad?

[chore_boy]

It... I'm certain it depends on your perspective...

[greenshoe]

So what was so bad about it? I can tell the captain of the ship I'm on all the information so we don't end up there later.

[chore_boy]

[He opened his mouth. Then, he shut it. Then, he tried to get out of it--]

I... miss, really, it's insulting enough to demand silence...

[greenshoe]

If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine but as an amazing detective I can't just let information get away.

[chore_boy]

I... I can't stop you from this...
