[mystery... anyway good. she's still taking care of his hat. she's going to have to find her own at some point, because it's starting to feel weird to not have a hat on.

anyway, that's fair because she's also really confident that they're not going to lose. it's like thirty people against one.]

I'm gonna kick Tiger's ass if the leaders managed to get duped by the stupid freaking moon. [stop]

[selfimmolation]

It might be "controlled", but you should kick Tiger's ass anyway. [ no. ] We'll be alright. We've got some pretty overpowered abilities on our side still.

[ and they're not discussing it at Night but obviously they have the book :/ so it's not like he can rewrite more fate :/ ]

[sharkgirl]

[she grins a little at him.]

Yeah. Reigen told me some stuff he wants to try, so we'll make it work. [she's actually kind of excited, in a dumb way. it'll be nice to go wild for once.]

And then - I guess Datz and all them are in charge of how we get home, so we don't have to worry about it.

[selfimmolation]

[ yea he also likes a good fight but he's kinda related to defense which he does hate a little so he's not as enthusiastic but still into it too. he trusts datz so he's fine with mouse having that

except he has some kind of nyeh feeling because it means chiemi also has it but whatever he trusts datz ]

Right. What was it... "See how much of a hero they are if they can alter reality"? Like any of us even asked to be written up as heroes.

[ stupid!! he thinks they can be very selfish with this book and it's their right wow. :/ ]

[sharkgirl]

[she has no idea what went down with chiemi in the end and now it's far too late to ask]

Seriously, they just threw us in here like anyway, go! Quit trying to assign me heroic, it's lame. [she says after having saved a bunch of drowning people but whatever] Maybe we don't let Hanako touch the thing but like, Datz and Ryuki are justice-y types. They've got it.

[sprawls out on the bed lazily.]

Do you have weapons? [other than the knife which she wants to melt into sludge]

[selfimmolation]

[ ace nods at her because they are vile criminals (he is planning to drag her to help him to liberate a country from a dictator at some point) and also yea. they have datz and ryuki so it's fine ]

Bought a battle axe, but it sounds like that kinda stuff won't work on it. [ "why a battle axe" i have an icon with a giant axe and it was funny ] You?

[sharkgirl]

[that sounds like the raddest thing in the world she's so down]

Oooh. Axe. [that sounds fun...] I got a morning star like, forever ago, but... yeah. I've got wonderballs, too, and I guess if the team powers still work I've got the ability to make him afraid of his own feet or something.

I don't really fight with weapons a lot.

[selfimmolation]

They're still working now, so I dunno why they'd stop. [ he's assuming they will based on what people are planning? it's fine ] Nothing else I've got is that useful.

[ he laughs at that ]

Me neither. I used a pipe as a kid, but I kinda ditched it when I didn't need it anymore.

[sharkgirl]

Yeah, like, I don't really need a sword when I can just rip people in half with my teeth?

[shrug.] How long have you had the fire, anyway? You said you got it when you were with that Masked guy.

[actually scoots closer to him because he's warm, as usual]

[selfimmolation]

You ever actually do that? Can't taste good.

[ WHY IS THAT HIS BIGGER CONCERN but: ]

Hmm... It was a little bit after I set sail, so about three years now. I've been sailing under Pops for about two.

[ ignoring the grief there and also about because we are not counting months ]

[sharkgirl]

Once or twice. It's whatever, I used to eat animals raw so people aren't a lot different?

[sometimes you can turn into a bear and just hunt like... rabbits

anyway, just like every time there's the grief there's a responding emotion of desire to comfort. she doesn't say anything, but.]

So kind of enough time to really know the like, ins and outs and stuff of it but not forever. [...] Did you swim a lot before?

[don't mind her she's just curious.]

[selfimmolation]

Huh, I guess it wouldn't be...

[ hunting rabbits is fine. he would not personally hunt a people but it's fine he'll keep her fed so she doesn't have to

he nods a little ]

I was made second division commander pretty quick, so I had to know stuff. [ both with the fruit and with the crew he means. the swimmies question he actually nods ] Yeah. I had to fish out Luffy from water all the time, for one thing. Plus we'd hunt for alligator meat in the river on the mountains. I was a really good swimmer.

[ he doesn't sound like he misses it? maybe if he had a shittier fruit but. genuinely he thinks fire was worth it. ]

[sharkgirl]

[ace having to make sure both his younger siblings don't eat people

nodding a bit at that, though, rolling over to lay on her stomach, head on her folded arms.]

So like now, you just... can't swim? Do you get heavier or something? [she should probably know his limits, especially if they just get dropped in the middle of the ocean. this is edging around her like, upset feelings at having had to watch him drown, but she's doing her best to swallow those down.]

[selfimmolation]

I'm not literally heavier, but Devil Fruit users are called "Anchors" for a reason. Normal bodies float, but we just... sink. [ he's got his arms folded behind his head as he looks at the sky. he's got a similar kind of uncomfortable feeling about it, mostly because. yea he did drown. and that sucked. ] Powers don't work in water, and it drains all the energy out of you. But we're pretty easy to fish out. Deu did it for me all the time, and he was never the strongest guy physically. So long as I'm not submerged it's fine, though.

[ he can still fuckin bathe :T ]

[sharkgirl]

[good to know that he can bathe]

Okay. So I don't have to be a whale or something in order to move around. I could be a dolphin. [:thonk:] As long as you don't sink.

[sorry the idea just gives her straight anxiety the ocean is so fuckin big and it's been a long time since she's been anywhere but a forest. she'll be happy to be there once she's there, it's just a huge change.]

[selfimmolation]

[ um ]

Well, I do. But not any faster than anything else would?

[ there's a pause ]

But Deu could fetch me and he's as normal a guy as you can get, so you'll be fine. Plus I don't really fall in the ocean that much.

[ he can use fire to propel him around so he's really not worried about this normally ]

[sharkgirl]

[she meant in the sense of like "i just have to make sure that you don't fall off and drown" but this is also like, reassuring, so.]

Yeah, okay. [a beat.] Anyway.

[nyeh.]

Wonder if I could figure out an actual sea dragon form... [squints...]

[selfimmolation]

Do you need to see a form before you can turn into it?

[ THINKING SPIDER MAN MEME goes here ]

We've got plenty of Sea Kings you can copy.

[sharkgirl]

I don't really do like, fake stuff, but - if they're not fake where you're from, I could manage it. I just gotta look at it and kinda rotate it in my brain.

[a beat.] Is that what a Sea King is? Like a sea dragon?

[selfimmolation]

Some of them. They come in kind of all versions, but they're all at least usually serpent shaped. Taste pretty good too.

[ thinking about food ... but no he shrugs ]

I've seen some dragon like and I've seen some that look almost like sea serpent cows. They vary.

[sharkgirl]

Oh, I gotta eat one. [immediately this is a priority] I changed my mind, eating one is the only way I can turn into one.

[selfimmolation]

Like I was going to let you go without trying it at least once! [ he's laughing. it's silly. ] It tastes pretty good just grilled, so we can do that whenever.

[ because they won't have a kitchen .... for a bit... ]

[sharkgirl]

Yessssss. [grinning!!]

Does it tire you out at all to use your fire? [curious again...]

[selfimmolation]

[ blinks and tilts his head ]

Eventually? If I'm going all out in a fight for a long time, but then that's more about being in a fight...[ which. he did for five days straight once. and then continued to pick more fights. ] It's not so much that I'm using fire, I am fire. It's why I could travel the ocean on Striker by myself and not have any issues.

[ he's a flame man.... ]

[sharkgirl]

[ohhhh, okay. that makes more sense to her, to explain it that way - he is fire, the way she's shifting. he just is the thing, it's just easier to say the shorthand.

she nods a bit.]

You are fire. [she echoes, thoughtfully.] Cool. Not to be nosy or whatever, I just gotta know the limits, right? You can know all mine. So we really got each other's backs in a fight.
