[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?

Robin! [something is wrong but he doesn't know what. It doesn't matter right now]

[meatthefuture]

OI! Everyone! Lets get Robin right now!

[meatthefuture]

Where are you? Robin?

[skyfaring_swordsman]

...Well, considering the system you're usin' to talk, I'll bet a great many people are "here" listenin'. Sounds to me like you're just a little bit addled, Miss. Did you soak in a little too much as at a local bar? Eat a few things that didn't sit well?

[Eh?? Is that his lovely Robin-chan's voice after all these weeks??? BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!]

ROBIN-CHWAAAAAAN~!!!

[—Although...her voice and all those words don't really match up very well. Hmm.]

...Ah, Robin-chan, are you okay?? [And since she asked...] It's Sanji, your knight in shining armor!!

[fierybluebird]

Robin....

Are you all --

[WELL SHE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL RIGHT. AND ASKING IF SHE IS ALL THERE IS TOO RUDE FOR EVEN MARCO.]

Together?

[WITH YOURSELF. WOMAN PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.]

It's too cold to go swimming anyway. Normal person would be to cold to tread water in no time flat. [ What is with everyone wanting to take a dip? First hat guy tossed a few people overboard the other day, then the shark with the fishing line. Robin was supposed to be one of the more sensible people]

[seakingbait]

Robin-chin! Hold on, we're coming!

[She's quickly followed by the sound of ruffling paper as she rushes through her sea charts. Scorpions, scorpions...]
