[On Day One, Robin will open the journal and look faintly bemused... ~~Though she's been waiting for the distraction.~~]

Well then, this is interesting. There seems to be Alabasta outside my window. [~~how familiar~~]

I hear pyramids are often rigged with death traps, curses and murder. [An open invitation to go exploring with her]

Days 1-2

[Either by going into a pyramid or falling through an unseen pit of sand, you will find Robin in the tombs, investigating hieroglyphs, treasures or mutilated mummies.]

Day 3

[Robin will be on a ~~not really~~ tame Mammoth, exploring the chilly countryside and might offer rides to weary passersby or, then again, might ignore them completely]

Days 4-5

[Robin will be relaxing in the Shogunate, you may find her reading under a cherry tree, dressed in the local wear though she does have an eye (or several) open in case of ninja]

Or youhave enough Order to balance it out. (She giggles from the safety of her perch. Silly Beorc woman.)

(That would be difficult to answer as she herself would not know how to react to that sight.)

There is? I believe that may or may not be true if I maybe so bold to say. (Except for Brooke and Perona, all that Leanne has met so far has been nice to her.)

Everyone has only been speaking negitively about them but I have yet to see why. They so far seem to be nice.

[Order? She's not sure how she feels about that. Not quite sure what it means. Robin is confident enough to feel that Leanne can trusts who she likes here. There is no one overtly malevolent that she's seen. Though she raises her eyebrows at the Malnosso comment.]

You will understand. Hopefully they will be gentle at first.

[She won't go further unless you pry. It is inevitable that the terrible will happen so there is no need to fret you needlessly]

[She is a little irritated with the laugh and the tone of this woman's voice. God or not, it's not anything that Robin has come to know]

Even if one believed in them, they haven't yet broken the barrier, have they? The Malnosso seem to be considerably stronger.

And why should the god of death choose those here, who have escaped him once, continue to do so? Because they were fortunate enough to get kidnapped? Because they were unfortunate enough to wind up here?

There are many others that suffer needlessly. That do not have the strength that we do. If the gods were to help, they should help those who most need it, not those strong enough to fight their own way.

[Spock gives her a flat look...]

Would you be amenable to... helping me out of the quicksand?

From within, perhaps. And one at a time. [Though she ignores the jab at her power, stating matter of factly] I am also not a god who deals with such things.

As for the whys? Because the masters of Death can be bargained with. And because this place is unnatural. It breaks the very fabric of reality. That alone is reason enough.

[And, she adds mentally, because they are my kindred]

[You should all the good feels about that, Robin. Order is good and nice~ But since if Robin doesn't know what a Heron can do it won't hurt to try and see just what is up with her.

Sup Robin! Reading your thoughts, emotions and soul now! Also flying down and hovering in your area to make it easier to read.]

.... I am afraid that I do not understand your words, my lady.

[She wonders if she should tell her. But it may not matter, since there is nothing she can do to prevent herself from being taken. Nothing can save her from the pain of this place... but it is much like the pain of life, isn't it?]

It can't be explained. Just trust your friends, ne? Marcchan will look after you.... and so will I.

I've heard death can be bargained with. [It's been in many a tale and usually all of them ended badly]

Though who knows if the price is beyond paying. As for this being unnatural...

[she runs her hands through the grass]

I don't believe such a thing can exist.

[Eh? What? Just what?]

Would I be amenable? No.

Will I do it anyway? That is the question.

[she watches him for a moment. Slowly sinking. It would be a horrible death if it is not a door. In which case it still might be a horrible death but at least a quick one. ]

Tell me why I should.

Why would you also want to protect me when we just met?

[The woman before was speaking no lie but... What is with pirates not being like the stories she has heard about?!]

[She will see a jumble of images. Ace angry. Marco coming to a window at night, streaked with blood. Sanji breaking down. A little girl lost in the big snowy woods.]

What Marco protects, I protect.

[It's as simple as that. She'll see the Whitebeard flag and Strawhat flag too, side by side and a great blue ocean.]

He can be. You just have to know what he wants.

[Saori reaches up and fingers a small, mirrored locket on her throat. She knew what price he'd ask already.]

You don't? And why is that?

Unnatural seems to me a way of terming things people can't or won't understand. A way to dismiss it like a bad dream or a nightmare. An excuse to hunt it down.

If it exists, it's natural. If it doesn't. [she shrugs]

Miss Robin, there is a natural order to the world. A way things...should work. Being real has nothing to do with how it interferes with the flow of the great river. And a world where death and time are meaningless, and even the stars are false is...decidedly a rather large interference in the river.

But I doubt we'll agree on that. I mean you no slight, and I do understand your meaning. I just feel our definitions of what is and isn't differ greatly.

[Whoa... What was all of this? So many sad memories and images. And WHOA! Why was Marco covered in blood?]

..... I am not worthy of such offerings of protection. I am just one heron. Nothing more, nothing less. All I can offer in return are my songs and the songs of my people. [There was no lie in the older woman's words.

Oh hey! HEY! She recognizes one of those flags! But not the other one. She couldn't help but to let out a few happy chirps as she recognizes the Whitebeard flag, finally landing on the ground....

Huh? What are they doing? Those are two very pirate-y flags ever she ever saw one. You know she kinda wants to ask about that little girl...]

When I don't kick it in the face. [Trolololol Kizaru reference, aw yes.]

[He tilts his head a little at the song.] That's one of Shanks' favorite songs you know. [He's keeping deadpan about it and refraining from any judgmental huffs, for now..]

[Should work. Should do this. Shouldn't do that. A natural order? Perhaps a little but it it is more like natural chaos. Though that is rather beside the point and whether this place is natural or not, does not prevent the truth. But there is no use arguing with someone who feels they have all the answers]

I think everyone's definition is a little different. [She smiles faintly] What is reality but the illusion of the senses?

The innocent are always worthy of protection. [the innocent. The damaged. Those who could not fight for themselves and those who fought anyway]

But your songs are welcome.

[That chirp sounds oddly familiar and Robin glances at Leanne perplexed as she comes fluttering down, wondering what could have piqued her curiosity.]

Kick it in the face?

[She doesn't get that reference. Though she smiles a bit about the grumpiness of the tone. Yes. She can tell. A little. Still she continues to speak lightly.]

I don't care whose favorite song it is. It is our song. We won it.

Kizaru of course.

You won it? [Genuinely curious.]

..... My lady Robin. Why are both you and my lord behaving in ways different from the stories I have heard of pirates?

It is all that I can offer in return for such kindness. If you are ever in need of them, just call for me.

[Teehee! Excuse Leanne as she continues to let out those happy chirps. But she also couldn't help but to giggle at Robin's reactions a little. But for now, she stops her giggling and chirping with a worried look on her face.]

Who was that? [That little girl in the snow...]

Pirates are as varied as there are people. Not all are good. Not all are bad and some are merely misguided.

[She's unsure of the change that comes over Leanne's face and the question is even stranger]

What girl?

The little girl... That was all alone in the snow filled woods.

[Robin glances at her sharply. How can she know... Was she referring to something else? Something in the Ice Age? But nothing had happened there with a little girl that Robin knew. And in any case it would have required Leanne to know her before this. So that either meant Leanne was following her or...something else entirely]

None of your business, Princess-chan.

[She's a little shaken by it but not visibly so and stands.]

I must be on my way. Take care, ne? There are ninja here. It could be dangerous.
