weakahoshi | Adventure 2- Bubbly Coral [Video]

[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!]

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?

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.]

Oh yeah. There was one where the surface of the water was in a different place every time.

[That was a scary day, Yoh. Luceti has a lot of places where there's standing water. Some cleaner than others.]

And... I changed sizes, too.

C- coconuts?

[BLUSH CITY HERE]

Um... I don't really know how to sew but... Well, th- that would be very kind of you.

[If a little weird...]

It's nice to meet you, Tsuzuki-sama! I've been here for a few months. What about you?

[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.]

Now you can get around the island, right? [Land? He can't help thinking of it as an island, even though it's not.]

Just promise me you'll be careful, eh?

Mm, I will! I can come visit the village now!

[And not have to go through five toilets to get there!]

[YAY!]

Aye, just remember, it won't be too easy, eh? [He's nervous about the whole thing, but it's not like there are any slavers around, and she's not as big as Little Oars Jr. nor does she need to worry about being a target right now just from size? At least, no more than anyone else. Still. If he can't protect Fishman Island, he definitely can't let Neptune's kids get hurt. Ahhh he's overthinking it. She deserves some freedom and he shouldn't let his baseless worries impede that. Then again, she's probably at least a little fragile like her Mom. Oi oi.] Do you know Keimi? It might help to have a guide until you know your way around at least.

Oh, um. I have met Keimi-sama, but I... I haven't seen her here, though...

She helps sew and design some clothes here. I'm surprised she hasn't seen you yet, eh? I'll try to send her your way.

[Mostly he was joking, because coconut jokes are funny.]

Darling -- right. If that's the case, then far more better for Shikki to do it.

[His tiny wings flap excitedly.]

I've been here a while, actually. I've just been really busy with my garden.

Th- that's kind of why I wanted the bubbly coral. S- so I can go visit people instead of expecting them t- to come to me.

[Wry grin.]

Understood. My apologies Princess, I failed to take that into account, but that's very noble of you.

I'll bring it over right away, just be careful. Some of the buildings are narrow and...

[Fragile but gutsy like her mother and giant like her Dad. What a combination.] If you ever run into trouble, promise you'll call, okay?

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?

I think that happened with the doors too. I hope it didn't give you too many problems.

[He is pretty aware that there are a lot of places with a water surface, and how bad some may be. He hopes she didn't get those places though.]

But that's really basically the main things this place has that set it apart from everywhere else.

Uhm... Besides the buildings that fix themselves, trash also cleans itself, at least normally it does, so everything remains clean easily. That doesn't include the inside of our houses, at least not mine, but that may be just because they are inhabited and we're the ones supposed to do the cleaning of them.

... My house was pretty clean and tidy when I moved in despite there being no signs of having been used recently, after all.

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?

[Ohh, she got those places, alright. She did a lot of scrubbing when she finally made it home to the ocean.]

That's still kind of nice, though. To not have to worry about some things.

[At least, she thinks it would be. She's never really had to worry about it anyway, being a princess.]

[Shirahoshi nods, though she's still blushing.]

When do you think it will start to get really cold?

What are you growing?

[Shirahoshi's heard of gardens, of course. But she's never actually seen one.]

We're not freaks! We're just different from you a little!

[That blush on her cheeks, for once, is not out of shyness. She's upset.]

People shouldn't look down on other people just because they're different!

I will! And I'll be careful not to hurt anything in town. Should I meet you by the teleporter?

Yes, please! That'd be very convenient, thanks.

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