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!]

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.]

Hallo, darling.

[How he admires you, giant mermaid lady.]

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.

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?

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?

I did! Have you ever met one?

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.]

... 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.

Oh. Well, um. If you watched the video I made, then you've seen one!

[And she flicks back into the video mode to show off her fin.]

See?

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

[Now, he's actually looking at the journal, rather than having just listened.

His voice is very, very quiet, and there is definite awe.]

...Incredible.

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?

There's a whole lot of us. You just have to make it to Fishman Island, under the Red Line.

I don't believe we have such a place where I am from.

Oh.

[That's a little bit sad to hear.]

W- well, maybe all the Fishmen and Merfolk live somewhere else, in your world.

[...Ah, well.]

I'm sure that's it.

[He doesn't really believe it. But he won't discourage her.]/small>

[Well, he's had to have heard of them from somewhere.]

What is your world like?

Oh! I'm Shirahoshi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

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

Doctor Maturin, ma'am. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[He smiles warmly.]

It is... quite a place of conflict. Wars and rebellions, both loud and quiet. Though there are beautiful things to discover, things we've only begun to understand.

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?

Mine is like that, too!

[She shudders a little bit. She'd gotten caught up in the middle of her own kingdom's most recent rebellion. The memory still scares her, sometimes.]

B- but I'm sure there's a lot more that's beautiful to discover than bad things. The same with Luceti!

It is a welcome change, to study the natural world rather than tending to those injured in conflict. I am able to do both in my world, but I prefer the former.

Are you a doctor?

A physician, yes, with some surgical experience.
