captain's log 002

[nishishi]

My birthday's coming up in three months, I actually remembered, this time.

[Honestly, people should be proud of him for remembering something that isn't food, adventure, or fighting-related.]

But not only do I not have a ship STILL, but my crew is still tiny. [It's just him and Zoro--that's so lonely.]

So what kind'a parties do people have in this weird place? I want a big one. And a fun one.

Finding a ship turned out to be harder than I thought, zura...

[Turns out they don't just sell them at stores. Imagine that.]

I'm so sorry, please forgive me, z-zura...

[nishishi]

Heee-eey, that's not your fault! I mean, I couldn't find one either!

Jeez, finding ships back home was way easier than this...

Maybe we could just build one ourselves.
I helped my brothers make a treehouse when I was a kid, after all. How hard could a ship be??

[monge]

[That is...the greatest idea he's ever heard.]

Monge... [Sitting back up, Komasan's paws squish against his cheeks in delight.] And ships are like houses anyway, just on water, zura!

[So if Luffy has the experience, then this should be no problem!]

I never made anything outta wood before, b-but I'm willing to try, zura!

...You know we'd have to pay for all the food if we threw a party, right?

[and they've been so very broke since coby left...]

[santouryuu]

That's not a bad idea, actually. The wood'd be easy enough to get, at least...

[Do either of them know how to build a ship tho.......]

[nishishi]

So long as we find a good hammer and some nails, we're going to be ALRIGHT!

[He raises up an arm, curling his fingers into a fist.]

Zoro can cut the wood with his swords, so we got that all figured out...

Oh, we'll just need to draw a new picture for the flag, too...

[nishishi]

You could just chop the wood with your sword, right? Way better and faster than any silly saw!

[nishishi]

Usually when it's someone elses' birthday, other people bring food for them right...

[santouryuu]

Yeah, I can definitely do the wood-chopping. There's gotta be a damn forest around here somewhere. We'll still need materials for the sail, and if we wanted anything like cannons....

[P.ause.]

But I guess we wouldn't need a kitchen without the shitty cook around, so that's one less thing to worry about.

[So basically y'all are gonna make the sailboat from before the Going Merry happened, huh]

[santouryuu]

Other people bring gifts.

[??? idk if zoro has ever been to a birthday party let's just pretend he did once at some point when he was a smol]

We have to cover everything else.

Your birthday? Wait, how old will you be anyway?

[If Sorey knew more about what Luffy is....usually like, he might be proud.]

Aren't ships supposed to be pretty expensive? But I want to travel, if you think I could help with your crew? As for the parties, that depends. We had one on the beach once, with a barbeque and swimming and s'mores and stuff. Ah, wait, you can't swim....

[exceptfebruary]

When's your birthday exactly?

[ Calendar Man, don't be a creeper. ]

[douchebag]

How about Vegas? Far as I know, that's the best place for a party on this shitty planet.

[monge]

Oh... I'm not very good at drawing, zura...

[And he doesn't want to ruin the flag, either.]

Eh...I might just leave that one to you, zura.

[nishishi]

Cannons can come later! There's no marines or other pirate ships around, right? So we'll probably be okay!

[Because that's how his logic is currently working. Don't need to defend yourselves when there's nothing to defend yourselves against, right?]

We can find food other places, like we have been! [Coby, why did you leave, you were such a good cook...]

But we're still gonna' need a special seat up in the front. [Priorities.]

[nishishi]

... That sucks. [That sucks, what the heck.]

Where are we going to find enough food to supply a party...

[nishishi]

[Give him a second, Sorey buddy, to count on his fingers. Then, a wide and cheerful grin.]

I'll be eighteen!! [YEAH he did it, congratulate him.]

And yeah, they're pretty expensive... which is why making one might be better! [No.]

...


Wait, you want to help with my crew? [He brightens, his shoulders hunching--] Does Sorey want to join? [Because Sorey can definitely join. What a cool guy.]

Maa, I like the beach! I can make some really cool sand castles, you know?! [But ixnay on the swimming bit...]

[nishishi]

[Man what a creeper! ...Not like Luffy's going to notice. No, his response comes with complete excitable gusto:]

May the 5th!

[Children's Day, how funny.]

[nishishi]

Vegas...

[He gives Felix a bit of a blank look. Nope, he's never heard of an island called Vegas.

It sounded far too much like Vegetable to impress him much.]

Are you sure? Does it have good food there? [Priorities.]

[nishishi]

That's okay! I'm a great artist!

I can draw the flag, no problem!

[No.]

All you gotta' do is help me and Zoro with building it. I bet you'd be a great help!

[exceptfebruary]

May 5th. Cinco de Mayo. Children's Day. Taurus.

Noted.

[monge]

[O-Oh!!]

I'll...I'll do it, zura!!

[ARM PUMP.]

I'll be the greatest help ever, y-you can count on me, zura!!

[Especially if he's betting, the last thing Komasan wants is for him to lose a bet.]

We just need to find a place that sells lots and lots of wood... Like...like the hardware store, zura!

[douchebag]

[ Felix snorts in amusement. ]

Buddy, it's got all the food. Anything you could possibly want, they've got in an endless all-you-can-eat buffet.

I'll be eighteen too. But I guess....as long as you figure the materials and know someone who can help build a ship it might be cheaper. Can't hurt to ask, with so many of us here from all over who know all sorts.

[But then he's grinning, tilting his head slightly.]

Well, if you need a hand. I haven't been on a boat before though. And I'm still working on the swimming thing myself. I mean, I'd have to check with Mikleo, but he seemed more keen on boats to travel anyway than flying.

[Mikleo is important and Sorey wouldn't want to leave his bff behind though.]

I don't think my attempts were that great. Maybe you can teach me next time we go to the beach.
