Adventure 2- Bubbly Coral [Video]

[weakahoshi]

[Shirahoshi's still pretty timid about the journal, but it's one of the few links she has to the majority of the goings on in the village. And she'd like to remedy that, if she can. So Luceti gets a treat today- the oversized Mermaid Princess herself, making a video post.

She fidgets with the journal for a few seconds after it begins recording, trying to frame herself up correctly, then realizes with a jolt that she's on air, as it were.]

It's already working! Oh. Um...

[She probably should have thought about what to say before she started recording. Too late now. Manners! She straightens up her back and stops stammering.]

I was wondering if anyone in the village has seen some bubbly coral. A few people have mentioned that there's an item shop that sometimes gets things from our home worlds. [Don't say "Um"!] B- bubbly coral looks a lot like normal coral, but the ones mermaids use for floating has kind of a button on it, usually on the bottom but sometimes on the side. If you find some, I'd really appreciate it if you could bring it to me out in the ocean. I- if it isn't too much trouble, that is...

[She looks like she'd like to say more, but she doesn't know what, and so cuts off the video feed.]

[OOC note: bubbly coral, for those who aren't familiar with One Piece stuff.

Note 2: I just got modly permission to have someone find it for her. So someone can feel free to recognize it, if they so desire! Marco found it! Thank you!]

I don't think I've seen anything like that, coral in the item shop would catch attention easily.... But I'll double-check from now on until you get some, Shirahoshi.

[He has many questions, curious about the bubbly coral and all, but... He won't ask them, at least not right away when she's asking for help.]

Don't worry, though, what you're asking for is definitively no trouble for anyone.

[If they claim it is they are just jerks.]

[Video]

[weakahoshi]

That would be wonderful, Yoh-sama. Thank you!

[And then there's that awkward pause.]

Um, did you get your house fixed? A- after the fire, I mean.

[Video]

[mikanphones]

Ah! Yes, don't worry about that. I cleaned the mess the smoke had caused and the next day everything was fixed by itself. I suppose it's one of the good points of being here, saves on repairing expenses.

[Even if there's no money to save to begin with.]

[all7seas]

Hallo, darling.

[How he admires you, giant mermaid lady.]

[voice]

[weakahoshi]

Hello, Captain Jack Sparrow-sama! Did you get your boat fixed?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Aye, lass! With a great deal of effort, she's seaworthy once more. Needs to be got ready for winter, though. How're you and what's this about coral?

voice:

[patchworkallegiance]

Pardon me.

[He has spent too much time with sailors. One word in all that drew him away from his workings to set up a sort of surgery in his apartment.]

Did you say mermaid?

voice:

[weakahoshi]

I did! Have you ever met one?

voice:

[patchworkallegiance]

I... have heard many stories about them, as I travel with sailors often, but I cannot say I have had the honour of even seeing one, let alone making the acquaintance of one.

[...With as odd a place as this is, the naturalist will not speak against the existence of such things here.]

[bravefighter]

Bubbly coral... ? Huh, can't say I have! I guess I could keep an eye out for it, though!

But yeah, bringin' it out there'll be no problem! I can float out there on Poli.

[weakahoshi]

Th- thank you so much! I... I don't even know your name. I'm Shirahoshi!

....

What's a Poli? Is it like Aang-sama's sky bison?

[bravefighter]

Oh! Right, sorry. I'm Red, from Pallet Town! It's nice to meet you, Shirahoshi.

But yeah, he kinda is! He can't swim, but he flies. Poli is a Poliwrath!

[idealism]

I don't know. But if you do find out something about that coral, will you let us all know?

[video]

[weakahoshi]

I will! I'll make another journal entry.

Um, but... I don't think we've met before. I'm Shirahoshi. What's your name?

[video]

[idealism]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I can't believe I forget to introduce myself so often. I'm Tsuzuki.

How long have you been here, Shirahoshi?

[ Tahno isn't exactly the helpful type, so he isn't about offer to get that for her, but he is curious about one thing she mentioned. ]

What's a mermaid?

video

[weakahoshi]

Um. W- we're people that live in the water. We're the type that looks like a human on top and have fish tails instead of legs, and Fishmen have human legs but look like fish on top!

My name is Shirahoshi. What's yours if you don't mind me asking?

video

[reversible]

Tahno.

[ That description doesn't sound like anything he's heard of before. In fact, it sounds monstrous. ]

So you're a freak, huh. How's that working out for you?

[Video]

[gomugomunopwn]

OH! The Bubbly Corals! I almost forgot about those. You think they might really be in the Item Shop?

[Because that would help him out a lot if he ever falls in water.]

[Video]

[weakahoshi]

Um, well, I don't know. Marco-sama and Vivi-sama said it might be, but I can't go there and look for myself.

[Video]

[gomugomunopwn]

Oh yeah, you can't really move around that good unless it's in water.

The Malnosso haven't given you any legs yet? [They sometimes like to give things that would make other thing convenient for whatever reason.]

[fierybluebird]

Will this be enough Princess?

[Holds up a pink bubbly coral about the length of his forearm. Still, he hopes someone else found some, just in case a lot more is needed.]

[weakahoshi]

[Her face lights up.]

Yes! Oh, thank you Marco-sama!

[Even a small one would work, it would just be harder for her to handle.]

[video]

[concasse]

Bubbly coral? [Sanji vaguely recognizes the term and what it stands for, but he's wondering what Shirahoshi wants with it]

Ah, does Shirahoshi-chan want a way to visit the village?

[video]

[weakahoshi]

Mm hmm! Y- you all have been so nice to come visit me. I want to be able to do the same!
