Voice Action for the SH

[he is sitting on one of the hermit crab homes with a violin case on his lap]

Brook is gone.

I don't wanna stop missing people, but it's hard. There's a some people I'm gonna see again but a lot of people I don't know.

But even if I'm gonna see 'em again or not, missing them hurts. Like before I was rubber and tried to swallow an orange.

But I don't wanna hurt. I wanna be happy.

So what do you do to be happy?

[anything can help at this point. He pulls the violin out and plays a few screechy notes. It's a tribute. A bad one. But a tribute nontheless]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It's not his? [hmmmmmm...] No, you're right, it would have gone home with him if it were his, from home.

Huh. Weird.

Yeah I found it somewhere and borrowed it. It's a good job you saved it though. [he plucks at a few strings] Hey, you wanna hear a song?

[TOTALLY SIDE-EYEING YOU LUFFY]

You don't know how to play that thing.

[do you?]

Is that important? [picks his nose with the bow]

Course it's important, that's why you wanted a musician in the first place!

[logic, dur]

If just anybody could play an instrument then you wouldn't need a musician, right?

Musicians are about more than playing stuff, Zoro. [he pulls out the bow and inspects the booger on the end] They know all the songs and how to play them. But I can play a song and not be one right?

[he shakes the bow and the booger goes flying off, sticking to the shell of another crab which looks instantly annoyed]

Something tells me that what you'd play wouldn't exactly be a 'song,' if you don't know how to play.

[wow, gross. Though you got good air on that one...]

As long as you don't break it.

[he's taking that as a "go ahead!" So:]

Yosh. Okay. [fits the violin under his chin] Song for Zoro. Title: Your Hair Looks like Boogers Sometimes.

[SCREEEEEEEEECH]

[is it the mangling of the poor violin strings or the title of the song? Either way, Zoro doesn't let him get three seconds into it before reaching out and thwapping him in the back of the head]

Don't do that! That's awful!

[whacked but it stops him playing]

You try it.

[hold out]

[he stares at it as if Luffy were offering him a large and smelly dead fish. Sort of like the time Sanji tried to get him to help cook]

I don't know how.

[you know those are difficult words for him to even say, Luffy]

[he looks. Then gets it. Then nods]

You don't know how to not get lost either. [he sets the violin between them just in case Zoro changes his mind] And you snore a lot and sometimes you're grumpy for weird reasons.

But it's okay.

[gee, thanks Luffy...he thinks?]

I don't snore that much, do I?

Yep. [or so he thinks this very second. Ask him another day and he probably will wonder why you're even asking such a weird question but will think about it and then get distracted by something more interesting. But you know that by now]

It's not a problem, right? Zoro is Zoro.

[he snores more than he thinks he does, at least]

Nah. It's not like I can do anything about it anyway.

[he sets his hand on Luffy's head and pushes his hat down over his eyes]

We'll all just keep moving forward. We have to. There's no time to stop and stand still.

Moving forward isn't that fun if people keep leaving.

[he would though because he had to and he wanted to, but it was getting less fun because there were less people to share it with]

Then we gotta do what we gotta to do leave here, so we don't have to keep missing people.

[he catches himself, then, and lets out a small groan of wishing to take it back. He's not in a hurry to say goodbye to the others, and never see them again.]

I mean. We'll see Brook again.

[it was as much as Zoro could say. It was hard on him missing people since Zoro wasn't the kind who could attach to others easily. Nakama were all he had.

And it was hard but... but that was just the way it was. You had people and sometimes you lost them. Even if they promised they wouldn't leave. Even if they promised they wouldn't die.

Here at least he would see Brook again. And he might see Elsa and Celestia and Pinkie again... but he might not. He didn't even know if he would see Bepo again.

But... that just meant you had to have fun with the people you had while you had them and then you could never regret not doing everything you could when you were with them.

He stands, takes off the hat and puts it on Zoro's head. An unspoken promise of a lot of things, but mostly, and always, that he'd never not do anything he could to keep moving forward with his most precious nakama... and enjoy it when he could]

Let's go fight the lake monster.

[and he jumps off, taking the violin with him so he can put it back where he found it]

[he knows what that means. Being entrusted with the hat fills him with warmth. His confidence in Luffy is never misplaced.

Zoro adjusts the brim a little and then springs up after him]

There's a lake monster? And here I thought this island would be boring.

It's really big, too! I hope it's got really sharp teeth.

[a beat]

I bet it's tasty.

Oh, have you seen it? I haven't really explored much, this time.

[he falls into step alongside his captain, available for anything. That's right, anything.]

[he nods. He has seen it once or twice]

You mean you haven't gotten lost here yet. shishishi

[bumps against his shoulder]

By the way, Zoro, you know a lot about people, right?

[of course he did. Or at least he knew people in a way that Luffy could get]

Of course I haven't gotten lost! [except maybe in the process of stumbling on Luffy...]

...hm? I guess. Why?

[he is fairly observant, and likes to think he has a good read on people. He's only wrong sometimes]

[that makes him laugh again. Zoro, you are so dumb. But then he thinks, putting his hands behind his head and kicking a pebble absently, waiting for the words to come out]

Why is Elsa mad at Anna? What is she scared of? I want her to be free and to have fun like we do but I dunno how.

Is she? I didn't know about that.

[tunnel vision, really]

She's not having fun being one of us? [hrm.] It's not because I forgot people, I hope. We talked it out, I thought she understood...
