[Voice]
[Robin's voice is a bit slow, her words perhaps a little slurred, like someone coming out of anesthetics.]
Real, this time? Touches like pages. They go swish too. And sounds. Voices. Need them.
Water!
[There's a bit of indistinct shuffling around, then some small splashes as Robin drinks from her hands. She takes a moment to breathe, already beginning to feel her head clear. Her speech at least clears up significantly.]
The last I can remember clearly was... a rogue wave. Came out of nowhere, straight at the ship and then... here. Scorpion... something. Scorpion's Reef? Mm, that sounds right. Their sting doesn't kill so that's good, but it's how loose in a- wait. That word doesn't make sense. Word for seeing things that aren't there. Hear and smell and touch them too. Movement and colors. All there.
Not dreams.
Need to get off the island but there's no more boat. And I can't swim.
[She giggles.]
Ridiculous. Pirates that can't swim. But it's true. No swimming for me. Maybe I used to, but I don't remember. Someone said the sea is jealous. I have something it wants. I say, if it wants to keep it then it shouldn't spit out fruit for me to eat. It's quite rude to give a gift then demand it back. Bugs swim better than me. Scorpions. I think they're leaving me alone now. Perhaps I'm boring to them. But the sea will always want me in its depths.
Who am I talking to? Is someone there?

You wanna take that shitty skiff? Can you power it the same as he could? I mean, hell, I can do food no problem, but if I come with you and then Merrily overtakes us, I'm kicking your ass.
[voice]
Can you hold your stance on a surfboard?
[voice]
[A beat.]
Not that I've ever been on a surfboard.
[voice] / [Action]
You're a little smaller than Ace, so that should be easier, so long as it can still balance.
[Head's up Sanji: Skiff popping through the Nav along with Marco jumping in after it.]
[Action]
Sanji has to hop back out of the way, and then he just kind of eyes it for a minute before snapping the journal shut. Welp! This is happening.
He looks up just in time to see Marco come through.]
Don't worry, I got plenty of practice fishing idiots outta the water. I'll keep Thatch off our backs.
[Action]
If I'm rocking you too much or you can tell of danger ahead, you can just speak to me normally, but I'll be stuck relegated to mostly chirps and whistles.
