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!]

Hallo, darling.

[How he admires you, giant mermaid lady.]

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

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?

... Winter?

[She's read stories about winter islands.]

Oh. Um. I'm good. There haven't been as many people on the beach though, and I'm curious about the village. So I need someone to look in the items shop and tell me if they find any bubbly coral.

Winter: the frozen month. Why do you need the bubbly coral?

Because it makes a big bubble that floats, and then those of us that haven't parted yet can get around on land without having to crawl around.

D- does winter happen here, too?

Winter, lovely: cold. Frozen. Ice. Snow. You're going to need.....generous clothing. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and all.

I thought this was a Spring Island. Or maybe Summer. [It has been kind of warm...]

How do people pay for things like clothes around here?

'S free! Clothes! You don't HAVE to pay. Here's the thing, though -- you're....well endowed. You might have to ask Miss Shikki to make you something.

Miss... Shikki? D- does she talk to the journals too?

Aye! We all do. We all chat on the journals.

Listen, darling: what if I were to procure for you two enormous coconuts and some sort of tasteful fabric -- would you be able to fashion some sort of dress for yourself?

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...]

[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.

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

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

[That's a tough question, because "really cold" can mean different things to different people.]

Octoberish-Novemberish. You worried about that sort of thing?

[The mermaids he knows can tolerate pretty cold water if they have to.]

I don't know. I've never been in winter before.

[But yes, she is able to tolerate the cold water in the depths of the ocean with no problems.]

You're going to want a sweater then. Possibly a turtleneck.

[Because my goodness that would be one enormous case of frostbite.]

Why would a turtle's neck keep me warm?

[Okay, now you're just talking crazy talk.]

Well it practically SWALLOWS the entire head, that sort of shirt! Have you never seen one?
