[there is quiet for a very long time. And it's almost as if the journal isn't open at all except for the quiet murmur of the ocean lapping at a still ship. They are anchored somewhere. It feels like they should be. Then Luffy says in a flat voice]

They've gone. A-Ace [his voice breaks a little but he swallows and says in a darker tone] and S-Sanji.

[It sounds like it hurts to say, and it does.

In any case, he leaves the book open on his lap, gripping it with his fingers and staring at nothing over the ocean as he sits on the figurehead. Nakama can find him there. But he won't be very talkative]

[But that stuff all sounds EXTREMELY COOL.

...Still, that cautionary word is met with a sigh.]

How would that happen? [Only because being WARNED against distractions by Luffy is somewhat suspicious, b-but he's probably reading too deeply into the situation.

And thereby getting distracted.]

-- It won't. I'll see you in a [little] while.

[damnit, Torao! You can't do that kind of thing! What kind of irresponsible guy are you?

In either case, Luffy trusts him implicitly to show up, and will camp by the nav and stare at it until he does so.

[When dealing with new places, the most important thing is: committing everything the memory, even if it makes very little sense. Things not making sense aren't really new in the first place, so yeah. Backwater Brig is something he can navigate to without much input from the peanut gallery.

But he's still not in a huge rush -- he's not SPRINTING his way there, but he does eventually come upon the place without straying off course. The Naviraimant -- having never used it before, that's a different animal entirely.]

Mugiwaraya, [Talking to a book (journal) is pretty weird.] can you see me now?

[Ah yes, that's not how it works AT ALL.]

[meatthefuture]

Not yet. You gotta come through! [has his face plastered to the thing] Just do it.
