Log 10 [4th Wall Action]

[toujoursfluer]

[Robin will be out and about in the afternoon, wandering here and there all over the village. Feel free to meet her pretty much anywhere, though the fountain and the library are her habitual spots, she will come to Seventh Heaven around evening to see who is to be seen. It is her last great run of exploring the new 'guests' before hiding away in her room. Truly, the variety of people are wonderful, but dizzying at the same time. And...in the end, perhaps, they will have gone home, perhaps.]

[Wow, ho-ly cripes she's fast! She really shoulda been a mermaid.

Even though she's not touching him.

But she is.

He'd scratch his head over that but his arm is currently being bent the wrong way towards his dorsal fin and it ain't exactly pleasant.

Which somehow equates to Namur laughing.]

Shehehehe! Shit, you're a jumpy one. No wonder Marco-bro's all wound up! Ya ain't gotta be this way. Name's Namur.

[toujoursfluer]

[She narrows her eyes at him. She is not sure what he's laughing at precisely, but she knows he is a Whitebeard so she'll let him go, though keep a fair distance]

I see.

[and because he is Marco's nakama...]

I'm aware that this is not what Whitebeards are accustomed to [if her lover is any judge] but don't presume to touch me.

[om_nom_namur]

Kinda boring that way, ain't it?

[But he holds up his hands, webbed between the fingers, and smiles.]

Didn't mean ta spook ya, Miss... uh...

[Crap, she had a bird name, Marco'd said it. Namur was never very good with birds.]

Finch?

[No, Namur was the one that liked those birds cuz they sounded like Fish.]

Raven?

[Strike two, Namur. That ain't right either.]

Damn. I forgot already. 'M better with fish, yanno?

[He rubs the back of his head, sheepish.]

[toujoursfluer]

Robin...

[She regards him for a moment, judging his sincerity. She decides to give him the benefit of the doubt and offers a small smile]


Would you care to have a drink with me then, Na-kun?

[it is one way to get to know him, at any rate. And it will make Marco happy]

[om_nom_namur]

Sheheh, yeah, that's prob'ly a good idea Miss Robin.

[Under his breath.]

Gotta say that a lot 'n' remember it. Robin. Robin. Bird-name. No. Not Bird-name. Robin, damnit.

[And then louder.]

Hey, so how did you meet Marco anyway?

[toujoursfluer]

Hmmm. [She starts to lead him to the bar, folding her hands behind her back]

He offered to take me to the village when I first got here. And for a while he was my faithful steed.

[He still is, as a matter of fact]

[om_nom_namur]

Uhh.... You know he's a bird an' not one o' those [He makes a motion with both hands, the classic "I'm a horse" pose.] island things. Horses.

[He stops the galloping motion and looks at her pointedly.]

Right?

[toujoursfluer]

Hmm. The word is rather horse like, isn't it? My mount, then. [Though even that sounds slightly problematic.

[om_nom_namur]

Shehehe look lady, uh. I mean Robin. I been around plenty o' ports. You ain't gotta tell me about that part.

[toujoursfluer]

I wasn't.

[She glances at him briefly]

So how did you come to join the Whitebeard Pirates?

[om_nom_namur]

Eh, you know. Same ol' story as most.

[He shrugs.]

Hey! Do you like sushi?

[toujoursfluer]

[She can't tell if that is a dodge or him simply not caring. Hmm]

Some. [Whale shark especially] Though I've never had any here.

[om_nom_namur]

We should get some at the bar. It kinda tastes funny though. Like the fish they's usin' never got out ta the ocean ta swim. Yanno?

[toujoursfluer]

Yes, I do know...

[They are just as trapped here as she is. Perhaps even more trapped because they can't help but be caught]

I might envy you a little.

[om_nom_namur]

[He cocks his head to the side.]

Well, shit that's easy enough ta fix. I c'n take ya swimmin'. There's an ocean right there.

[And now he's WAY confused cuz isn't she supposed to be a pirate?]

[toujoursfluer]

Swimming is not an option for me unfortunately. [and she'll absently show him a burst of fluer before letting it fade into petals]

In any case, I prefer an endless sea to one that has a barrier.

[om_nom_namur]

Whoa! Hey, that's cool. Do it aga-

Wait. Barrier? Man, that's prolly why it tastes like an aquarium in there.

[He stoops down and picks up one of the petals as a souvenir.]

[toujoursfluer]

[she wants to knock it from his hand. It's not his to keep. But he will only be here a short time so it is not worth the effort and she doubts he will be able to take it with him]

Mm. And what strange fish, ne?

[And then to change the topic into something a little less depressing]

Are there many Fishmen that sail with Whitebeard, or are you the only one?

[om_nom_namur]

[Hey girlie. You don't want people takin' 'em, don't leave 'em layin' around.]

'S just me. Not a whole lotta Fishfolk make their way up ta the surface, yanno? An' those that do, lotta times didn't wanna go in the first place. But it's hard gettin' through the deep without a ship t' take the heat an' the cold an' th' hits for ya, so they get stuck.

[Namur sighs.]

[toujoursfluer]

I imagine so. I've been there. It's quite a long trip downward [and satisfactorily terrifying]

Perhaps that will change soon, ne? [Who knows what kind of havoc they will cause there. Well--the others do. As for herself, not so much. Not yet at least]
