Voice Action for the SH

[meatthefuture]

[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]

Aurora are, yes. Aural means things having to do with ears. Not to be confused with oral, which means things having to do with the mouth.

[Robin giggles. She can't help trolling just a little. But then her expression turns thoughtful.]

I was hoping he'd coach me in singing.

[Action]

[meatthefuture]

Hmm. I like oral best. [yep] Why do you wanna learn to sing?

[Action]

[thetruehistorian]

It might come in handy later on. Remember Candy Mountain?

[he nods] You think there are other islands like that? [some singing islands would be cool. Or...] Is it something about the wish? [since she was working on that, too]

[Action]

[thetruehistorian]

There could be. Maybe one that will require singing on pitch in order to leave.

[Robin shifts a little on the top of the shell, pulling her knees up to her chest.]

But really it's just... an idea. Naturally, those in the know wouldn't call it magic, just like we don't consider the use of Devil's Fruits to be any more magical than seeds growing in spring. It's simply the way things are. There are scientists looking into figuring out how it works, of course, and the same thing is happening here. But they call it something else, and they don't talk about how to make it actually work. All I know is theory, and what I can observe in the world around us.

Have you seen the Red Singers?

[he didn't know anything about pitch. He didn't even really know what Robin was talking about. It seemed like something too big to think about for him, and that was what she was good at and what she liked. When the time came for something he had to do, she would tell him. For right now he just listened to what she said like he was listening to a story about magic and mysteries.

He perked up at the last part though]

Singers? No. What do they sing?
