Delusional Facts from a Froggie - OTA

[Morning of the 27th]

[Not sure how she managed to get up there as sick as she is, but Haruta is in the crows nest, hidden away all crumpled up and chilling there.]

[In a voice that says she’s reading (or trying to) Haruta talks about... weird facts. She sounds REALLY out of it though.]

Clownfish are born male, and will only change sex to become... a dominant... female. [a long SNORT at that] Namur, is that true? Why would anyone want to cha--no... no.... no never... mind. Don’t wanna know... oh, but some sharks can smell a single drop of damn blood... in like three miles away.

Sharks are real cute.

Some snake is a great actor. It... it tricks its people... i mean it’s predators... by playing dead. They even smell dead. Best they don’t have awesome hair...

This black cat thing...run...s... so fast... that dust kicks up like... like smoke. Like they leave... the world on fire as they run. Stupid narcoleptic fire cats.

There’s a monkey that screams so loud it can be heard from three miles away. I... mmm, I dub it the Luffy Tailed Loud Monkey. Mmm yes. Good. [she coughs, and doesn’t say anything for a few minutes.]

Frogs. I love frogs. I was told a story once.... ‘bout a frog... and a pearl, and it’s a good story. Did you know... group of birds.... it’s a flock. But ... group of frogs? Called an army. An army of frogs. Go frogs! Go to war! [said stronger, almost yelled, before fizzling out and going silent again for a minute]

Frog poison can kill 100 men. Dart froggies can kill thousands... man, frogs are bastards. [Snorts again, and coughs, sounding grouchy now] Says some frog species can poison other frogs, but they eat some tropical flowers... and push food down with their eyes, and get better.

Frogs suck.

[flipping sound of her going through this book faster now, then growls, sounding annoyed.] This book is stupid. Nothing on phoenixes. Stupid...

[ANYONE ON DECK... might want to duck and cover. The book got chucked from the crows nest after that.]

[There is a small growl, then a thunk and silence for a while. She might reply back a little later. If anyone replies to her, but she's sorta out of it for a bit again.]

[YEAH, THANKS SWEETHEART, NAMUR JUST ABOUT GOT DIVEBOMBED BY A BOOK. It plops right in front of him and it's a damn good thing he's got fast reflexes, otherwise he would have walked right into it. He picks it up, brows furrowed, then looks up at the crow's nest, the confusion giving way to worry. A quick scurry up the shrouds later, Namur drops over the edge and crouches next to Haruta.]

Oi. The hell's yer problem? Y' know Chandra's gonna rip me a new ass hole if she finds y' up here an' not in yer damn hammock. The hell'd y' get up here, anyway?

[Sorry, not sorry, Namur. That book is stupid and she no longer loves it. When Namur finds her she's laying in the rescue position on the floor of the nest, half curled and staring at the wood. She could hear someone climbing.]

[When it was Namur that made it up she groaned, curling up more, one hand sliding over her face] It was hot down there...

I saw that shit on the Discovery Channel! A group of crows is called a murder! Did you know hyenas literally kiss the lead hyena's ass? Well, they lick it, but same diff.

[She blinked at this, silent a moment. What is a Discovery Channel? Liek a Water Channel? Huh... odd.]

A murder of crows. Murder of Crows, Army of Frogs. Mmm [voice wise? She sounds high or really out of it. Mostly cus she is out of it. ~~And high, considering Crows Nest. A murder of Crows nest!~~]

Mmmm that book is stupid. Gots nothing about hyena butt kissin'...

Well, most things don't. Hyenas are seriously fucked up, yo. You know they're actually cats? They act exactly like dogs but they're cats! And those bitches will eat anything, there's videos of those things eating all kinda of gross dead things that I'm not even gonna recount because you sound like you're tripping hard.

Cat bastards. That's what they are. Mas...mas...masquerading around as... as dogs. Laughing, umm that weird laugh. Hyenas are a planets laughing garmage disposal... ew.

...

I'm not trippin'. I'm just layin' down. [You KNEW that was coming, right? I mean, you had to know that was going to happen, because... um, Tripping? What?]

[Laughs] Just layin' down. I love that. Of course.

And that's right. Cat bastards. Always sneaking around and eating up everything and laughing at the damn birds. Like The Lion King! Being the bad guy's loyal dogs, but then they're really cats, and in the end they eat him like an old lady who dies in her apartment with eleven cats and they just find a skeleton with an empty tuna can in one hand.

It just means the fish are willing to change to be with who they love!

[Why they need to change genders is a bit beyond her. Reproduction, what?]

Make up your mind. Do you like or dislike frogs?

[Why's he laughing? Gah, so lost. Wtf is is even saying!]

[Being this sick SUCKS damn it]

Why's the old woman holding a can of tuna anyhow? You can tuna instrument, mmm but you can't tuna fish. [that last part was said distantly] Wait, Lion king? Does it wear a crown? Lions with crowns would be cute...

Who are you, anyhow?

Oh... Clownfish. Oh. [pause. She doesn't get it, but wishes she could do that too] Did you know any clownfishmen back home?

Nammiii. Don't be mean. I love... [wait, drifted there for a moment, sorry.... um, what was she saying] Oh ah, love... frogs. I do. But we're bastards, we are. All of us.

Mhm, but... I've never seen any of them change like that.

Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Jesse. I just get talkin' and forget, that's all. What's your name?

[Celestia struggles to answer, because she's trying to stop laughing into her wing over the Luffy Tailed Loud Monkey.]

What did you wish to know about phoenixes?

[Namur narrows his eyes and scoops her up into his arms.]

'S hot wherever y' are, babe. C'mon.

[No, but really, she's burning up. He can feel it through her clothes.]

Them treatments from Chandra're workin' less an' less, ain't they?

[He's aptly named, kay? Loud boy. Adorable boy. Sob]

I donno. Dumb facts. Wanna know more about my brother is all. Idiot brother with ...with the pineapple hair.

Never? So... how ya know if they do? And.... an' why change... just to be with who ya love? They should love the poor clowny fishy man for who he is. [such a drifty voice]

Heh, ha... Jesse. Nice to meet'ya. Mmm... I'm... Haruta.

[too sick to give her full title to him, oh man. The Frog Prince and Division Twelve Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates Haruta! Way too much to say...]

Don't flirt. S'not fair right now, big guy. [brain won't know how to flirt back]

Chandra is a Goddess! Don't talk ill of... of... mmm [she hummed as she leaned into Namur as he picked her up, burning up and shouldn't be moving around or high up at all. But the Crows nest was always a place she'd go when she felt bad.]

[She nuzzled into him and closed her eyes.] ...what... was I saying? Mmm you're cold. [nuzzles sleepy like]

Nice t' meet you! Fun to talk about cool stuff for once instead of all this weird pirate shit. You ever wanna talk about funny animal stuff, you hit me up.

Shit.

[Namur rolls his eyes and shifts her over into one long arm, holding her close.]

T' hell with what Chandra says, yer cookin' in yer own damn skin. Gonna take y' down an' get y' some water t' soak in an' see if that helps y' cool down. Think y' can manage not t' drown if I leave y' on yer own?

Edited 2014-09-29 19:57 (UTC)

[She grunts softly a she's moved, then frowns as she clings there]

But I like it up... up here.

[whine. Whine whine whine. But she's not fighting him. And as he mentioned water she shudders] No. I think I'mm freeze... an' drown.

It's good... to talk of other thin's. You gotta find hobbies and things, or sea life gets boring fast. But yeah... yeah, I will. When I'ma feeling better and not... dying. I donno. When I can. What crew you with? I'm a Spade.

[He lifts her up, looks out over the edge of the crow's nest, and leaps out, aiming for some shrouds spread out below. He catches them with his foot and his hand, swings around, and drops to the deck.]

Freezin' I doubt. Maybe drown though. Damn. Who y' okay takin' a bath with? Other'n Chandra cuz she thinks my idea's dumb.

[she made a small strange noise and clung to the other as he moved. Not letting go a he hit the deck. Her head swam at that point so her eyes stayed closed.]

Just throw me in... in the ocean, idiot. [she huffed unreasonable. Then...] You're okay. And I don't think Ima drown.

Sheheheh! Jus' want t' help y' cool down li'l bit, not shock y' t' death!

[Regardless, he ducks into the bathroom and sets her on a bench with some towels to lean on, then starts running water into the bath so it's lukewarm. Then he gives her a sideways glance, blushing a little and rubbing the back of his head.]

Erm. So.

Shit.

[Come on, dude. Sister first. And she needs help. Maybe.]

Uh. Want me t' help or y' got this?

[she sat there and frumped, slumped there and staring.] It’s hot in here. [You know shes a whiner when sick, right? Cus she is. So this is normal.]

[Bare footed already she twisted her feet together and watched Namur. It’s not fair. She wants to nuzzle his stupid face, not die of heat or anything. At his words she hissed, starting to move now. Pulling her tunic off over her head she huffed again and tossed it to the side carelessly.]

I hate this. [pants and things next, and she kind of just looked miserable as her legs got tangled. Girl has very little to no modesty, especially when sick.] too tired to move, too restless to stay still. And I got stupid out there... and it’s my own dumb fault, and ... hnng. [her eyes were watering, because she’s so upset over being stupid.]

Dying??

I'm, uh. One of the Blue Sky pirates. We're new.

But you just read that...

[She shakes her head.]

People should love each other for who they are, but there's something romantic about being willing to change.

[She's got it and she doesn't. Got it. Namur helps her undress the rest of the way and into the bath. It's a lot easier to focus on the sick sister aspect when he can feel her fever. After she soaks he should take her to Chandra again.]

Hey, y' come through worse shit than this before. Lean back.

[He sticks a folded up towel at the base of her head so that when she leans back it'll make a pillow against the side of the tub.]

Yer jus' feelin' like hell, but we'll figure somethin' out.

[He grabs a couple of washcloths too, and dips them in the warm water, draping one over her forehead and the other over her belly- the two places that feel like they need to cool down the most.]

Ah, not native-born phoenixes, or -- well, I confess I am not certain how to express it, but I am accustomed to Equestrian phoenixes.

What exactly makes you say that?
