Okay. Then I'll come with you. But the less wet I get, the better. Fire feathers don't dry well from ocean, eh? [DEEP BREATH for himself, he has to brave this, and flies up to hold onto Shirahoshi's hands.]

Head to one of the doorways, that should take us... somewhere.

[weakahoshi]

[She's already ducking under the water as he grabs her hands, so he's going to get pretty darn wet for a few seconds before she pulls him up after her, coming out of the fountain in the middle of town.]

I'm sorry, Marco-sama. What did you say?

[fierybluebird]

[Shivering. Oh god. Cold. So cold. Okay, starting to dry some.]

N-Nothing.

Looks like we're in the middle of town, eh? Oh t-that's right, I was going to show you it if I could.

[weakahoshi]

[Looks around at all the buildings.]

Is it?

[Uwaaaaah! Look at all the people!]

Is this where Luffy-sama and his crew live?

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs a little and shakes his head, perking up.]

Sorry, no. They live over by the mikan grove, eh?

[weakahoshi]

[She raises herself up to her fingertips, trying to see over the buildings to where the mikan grove is.]

Oh! I see it there! [She points vaguely northeast, over by the river.]

[Shirahoshi gets a little less excited, though, as she realizes she can't see a clear way to get there.]

It's so far away...

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Well, if we keep at this, with might make it over to the river, eh?

[weakahoshi]

Do you really think so?

It's... It's mostly been people's bathrooms...

[fierybluebird]

[Coughs and flushes a little at that. YUP he hears you there.]

Okay then I'll be your lookout and if we wind up in another bathroom I'll cover your eyes until we get to the right place!

[weakahoshi]

Shirahoshi nods, and takes Marco into her arms again.]

Are you ready, Marco-sama?

[fierybluebird]

[Nods bravely.]

All right, let's do this, eh?

[weakahoshi]

[Shirahoshi sinks back under the water, thinking of the mikan grove in hopes that it would help guide them towards it. She drops under the surface for just a moment, then kicks them back up into the air once again.

It's someone's kitchen sink this time, full of dirty water and even dirtier dishes, though no one seems to be around. And yes, she's the size of a bath toy.]

[fierybluebird]

[Which makes Marco proportionately tiny.]

Ew. Someone needs to get to these... but I guess they're having troubles too. [/SIGH.] This is weird. And I've kicked the moon in the face before. [... no really he did.] Ahh... [Might be a little clingy since EW he doesn't want to get grease in his feathers D:<]

[weakahoshi]

[Marco, why are you feathery when you're going through the water anyway?]

Hold your breath!

[And she ducks under again, still thinking of the mikan grove. Do they end up closer when they surface this time? It's hard to tell. It's just a giant white bowl. Shirahoshi quickly ducks under again in spite of not giving Marco any warning.

She's learned to beware the giant bowls more than anything else.

This time they surface in one of the lakes, with sun shimmering off the ripples all around them.]

Are you alright? Um, we had to leave that other place really fast...

[fierybluebird]

A-aye, I'm glad you did, eh?

I guess it's probably a good thing that your size keeps changing? Or... just weird. [Hugs her hand as comfortingly as possible. And he's still a little feather, because ocean & water concerns or not, it's safer this way and makes him feel better. Shhhh.]

You must have had a really rough day, eh?

[weakahoshi]

[Shirahoshi nods. It's been rough, indeed.]

Um, maybe we should just try swimming from here, without going back under. There's a river over there, maybe it will go past the mikan grove.

[fierybluebird]

Aye, that sounds like a good plan. [Nods. And he starts to relax now that they're in open air and near enough to land that he's safer.] If nothing else, I can fly closer to get one of them to come visit now. Will you be okay in the fresh water? [Although it's got to be better than soapy or toilet water... jeez. Poor Princess]


[ooc: Also I'm retarded, the mikan grove and the Straw-Hat house aren't together, (totally separate /fails! sorry!!) but they are in House 6 which is along the river at least!]
