From the Deck of the Shepherd [Voice]

[There's no preamble to this voice message. Those that know Robin know her voice. Those that do not are welcome to get to know her one on one.]

Green Breeze reminds me somewhat of Green Bitt, though it's decidedly less peopled, and more mountainous. However, that wasn't always the case. Has anyone mentioned that there are ruins everywhere on this island? Not just scrolls. Buildings and arches and mosaics line the mountainside. They wrap around it in one continuous terrace, though at sea level it looks like many. The wind can be quite harsh as you move to higher altitudes. I'm wondering if any of you brave Shepherds would be willing to chance the weather in the name of scientific exploration? I'd need a team of three to four, most likely, including myself, and the expedition may take a couple of days. We'd need to scout the forest as well- the one with all the wind chimes, yes. There may be something significant in there, and it would be a shame to miss it simply because the location is creepy.

I'd like to consult with anyone skilled in mapmaking or navigation. I would like to devise a way to document the location of this island, in case other archaeologists or I would wish to return and continue the work I've begun.

Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, Brook, and everyone else in my crew, we are doing well. Let's keep in touch, hm?

Mmmmm it sounds cool. [pouting captain is pouting] Robiin I wanna come, too!

[if it sounds like he's rolling around it's only because he is] Is it under any cool clouds?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

[Well, that settles some of what she remembers at least.]

Are they really that similar?

voice

[thetruehistorian]

The clouds are rather plain, and wispy. Like horse tails.

If you come here though you'll have to head away from Candy Mountain...

[She's pretty sure, anyway.]

voice

[allendsmeat]

Yeah but you'll be there. [nakama were more important than candy and exploring with nakama was always more fun]

I don't see any horse tail clouds. [peer peer] Is there anything shaped like a turtle with three horns?

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

In terms of growth and vegetation, yes. The architecture is vaguely reminiscent of the structures we found there as well, if less focused on the inverted acorn shape.

[And... taller than three feet.]

You aren't secretly interested in history, are you, Vice-Admiral?

voice

[thetruehistorian]

[She chuckles.]

Ahh, no. But that does sound interesting. Are you going to go find out what it is while you wait to find me?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

I didn't know it was a secret.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, after all.

voice

[allendsmeat]

I'm not going to wait. I'm looking. But we don't know where we're going.

[and it's frustrating when they have somewhere to get to]

How else can you navigate other than clouds?

voice

[thetruehistorian]

Perhaps it would be best to look for an island with people, and get a compass and a map.

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

Hm.

[She chuckles.]

Well, do you think you can handle the mountain? It'd be a problem if you began to dissipate in the wind, don't you think?

[Voice]

[grandlineswag]

At least it has proven interesting. There's nothing but damnable, useless, frozen land on this island.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

I'm not so stupid as to remain permanently in my logia form. I'll be fine.

[Voice]

[allendsmeat]

You could make a snowman.

Re: [Voice]

[grandlineswag]

How did I predict that would be among the first things to cross what passes for your mind?

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

Who else would you recommend to come along?

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

Humbled yourself and joined a crew, did you?

Re: [Voice]

[grandlineswag]

I prefer not to say "joined", it's too confining. We're working toward a mutual goal.

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

I wonder if I ought to take bets on how long it is before you're all trying to slaughter each other.

Re: [Voice]

[grandlineswag]

There's no real point.

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

A good bet can be both fun and profitable. Who are you sailing with?

Re: [Voice]

[grandlineswag]

Men who seem to be some of the only real sailors of our entire bunch, judging by the thoughtless page pollution that seems to infest the pages of this journal.

voice

[brbvirmire]

I know someone who'd have a field day with this place if she were here.

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

Is that noisy one who insists he is not a pirate at every turn there?

[There's laughter in her voice. That guy's a hoot.]

voice

[thetruehistorian]

A fellow archaeologist, I presume?

Re: [Voice]

[grandlineswag]

I trust you're referring to the Captain of the ship.
