Everyone, please remember to stay strong. These zombies can't keep coming forever. If you can, everyone should be fighting in shifts so that everyone can get rest and eat, too.

And... don't let them drag you overboard. I know most of you can't breathe underwater, so don't let them pull you into their world.

[She sighs. "Their world". Is it even safe for her to go overboard, or will these sea-zombies attack her as she swims?]

(Private to the Straw Hats)

Everyone... thank you for keeping me and my workshop safe. I have a present for you all. If you have a moment to rest, please come see me.

[bursts in dragging half a zombie hoarde behind him]

LOTS OF MEAT! THANK YOU, KEIMI!

1/2

[seakingbait]

Huh? But I don't even eat--

[seakingbait]

Gah! Zombies! Get out!!

[Launching the zombies out with a bubble now!]

[meatthefuture]

[is sort of unphased by Keimi freaking out, only moving his head to dodge a few clumsy dagger thrusts from behind]

They're only small weak ones. Look. This one lost his head. [points to the one trying to grab onto his ankle] But more importantly where's the meat?

[seakingbait]

Luffy-chin, I don't have any meat.

[She'll just... prod the headless zombie away. Shoo, you can't even eat me.]

I've finished the King Bolt. My secret weapon!

1/2

[meatthefuture]

Oh... [no meat. Well that's not much of a present but he'll be enthusiastic because it's her special weapon]

[meatthefuture]

Neat.

Thanks, Keimi.

[glances at the headless zombie]

Hey maybe you can make a helmet for him and then we can keep him.

[and they could keep stuff inside the helmet maybe or just surprise people by opening it]

[yourotherleft]

[wakes up very late and only just blearily pokes his head in her workshop as a response to her request]

[seakingbait]

Oh, hi there, Zoro-chin.

[Keimi is moving back and forth between a small set of mannequins wearing similar dress to the crew's daily wear.]

You look sleepy.

[yourotherleft]

There's not enough hours in the day to sleep anymore.

[hang on a mo...] What's that?

[seakingbait]

My way of keeping everyone safe. [She smiles proudly.]

Remember that cloth I asked you to cut before?

[yourotherleft]

[rubs his face to wake up] Huh? Yeah...

[song_princess]

.....You stay away from them as well, Keimi. Please stay out of harms way.

[seakingbait]

I'll be okay. They can't reach me as long as I'm in my workshop, and they can't catch me in the water either.

[She hopes.]

[song_princess]

[She goes to force a chuckle.]

I almost pity any of the undead that comes aboard your ship with Luffy as the captain. Just please stay where it is safe. [Worried cooing.]

[seakingbait]

He's keeping up better than all of us.

[She laughs lightly.]

Are... you all staying safe, too? I'm sure Marco-chin is just as tough.

[song_princess]

If he wasn't then I would be worried.

Yes we are..... My brothers and sister is keeping them at bay. Plus, I like to think I am a good last line of defense.

[judgementscythe]

[She still doesn't have the strength to get out of bed so she's lying there with the journal next to her head. She starts speaking in response.]

I wish I could be there to see it K.

[seakingbait]

You just worry about getting better. I'll be down to take care of you in a little bit.

Is there anything you need me to bring?

[judgementscythe]

[she's just kind of rambling next to the book]

I hate that I can't be there for your gift. I hate that I can't leave this bed. I could use some food. I want to get up.

[seakingbait]

I'll make you some lunch, then. Would you like some stew, or do you want to try something more solid today?

...If you're feeling up to it, we can go for a walk.

[Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Just keep yourself safe, alright?

[seakingbait]

I'll be okay. You do the same, Aki-chin.

[alwaysgrumpy]

Hopefully this whole thing will ebb off, soon. It's abnormal for things to persist for this long.

[seakingbait]

You're right, things never last this long. Something's wrong.
