Log 17 [video]

[Robin looks quite serene today, though those who have known her will notice a certain glint in her eye that spells trouble. It is high time she gets one certain thing straight in her life]

Hello, Luceti, and new feathers. Welcome to our little town where you will both make wonderful friendships and suffer traumatically for making them. However, that's life, ne? It will all work out in the end. [after we break them in half like twigs]

Speaking of trauma, however, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to kidnap a certain longnosed sniper, who is fond of elaborate stories but not so much of mushrooms. I was thinking a baited trap of some sort and briefly considered an arrow to the knee but that may be going a bit far. I do want to keep him around, after all.

[in other words, Usopp... 1, 2... Robin's coming for you. There is nowhere to run.]

Vulcans are touch telepaths, I believe you are aware of this. When we are young, we are paired, through a mental bond, with another who has a similar mental resonance in a way that very much resembles an arranged marriage.
This... arrangement ensures that when a certain amount of growth takes place, the bondmate serves as a...stability. [No way is he explaining Pon Farr to Robin.]

Rarely do to beings meet who share such a mental affinity, that one mental touch can bind them together. This phenomenon is known as T'hy'la... the one person in the entire universe who was meant to be with you. I believe a similar concept exists in the term 'soulmate'.

[Spock shifts uncomfortably...] While T'hy'la are drawn together naturally, that doesn't mean that both parties are necessarily comfortable with one another. Such is the case between the Captain and I.

...You're spying on me, aren't you?

[ He sets immediately to digging through them. Closed boxes are meant to be opened. Especially when they're gifts. ]

These are… [ His weapons of choice. Maybe not exactly the same in superficial ways here and there, but for all intents and purposes, these are the things that he makes. Same purpose, same method. Usopp is officially shut up for half a minute or so, busy picking one or two up to roll in his hand with an experienced pachinko-tinkerer's discerning air.

She really must know him, to get it this right. And it's kind of a nice hopefulness to get hold of- if she's his nakama from the future, then he's still with Luffy and Zoro and whoever else they find in that future. And she still wants him around, which is a big plus, since he normally just kind of ends up annoying adults. Going to the Grand Line and finding adventure, on the road to Luffy becoming Pirate King...

A few weeks ago, he probably wouldn't have even lied to himself about where he's headed now. He'd just be sitting by the shore waiting for things that wouldn't come and making up stories about going out to find them for himself.

The future looks kind of great. Or he's going to tell himself it does. Either way. ]

These are pretty good, Robin! I can definitely use them!

[that is...far more information that she expected and far more intimate as well. Interesting this concept. She's not entirely sure she believes in soul mates...and to only one person seems--limited at best.]

I'd like to meet this captain of yours. [she smiles at him teasingly]

And make sure he's treating you right.
