Log 001 [Drawn]

[toujoursfluer]

[she sits on a small chair made of hands interlocking fingers. The trees rise around her large and anonymous and the journal sits open in her lap. Though the small camera is covered with a thumb that she has blossomed from the page.]

[She has read it three, four, five times now but nothing changes. There is no new clue to unravel, it is as real as

Comments

[alabastajewel]

[The drawing catches Vivi's eye immediately as she's paging through her journal. There's no mistaking that mark. Still, she's unsure who's on the other end of the journal, so it's with a note of caution that she sends a reply.]

Hello? Are you looking for Luffy-san?

[voice]

[toujoursfluer]

She knows that voice if nothing else. Last time she heard it, it wasn't particularly friendly--but they were enemies then. What are they now? She was with the others and will probably be with the others now though Robin knows better than to think of her as nakama.]

[She thinks a long time before deciding on what to say.]

You could say that.

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

[There's a long moment of silence before the reply comes. Vivi recognizes this voice too, though there's a part of her clinging to the hope she might be mistaken about the woman's identity.]

[She'd always known that this was a possibility. That Miss All Sunday might surface here again--she'd been here before, according to Nami. And Vivi knows she's counted among nakama now. She knows that, and has for a while, ever since the events at Enies Lobby. She'd thought she'd already made her peace with it, but now faced with the possibility of seeing her here--this woman who helped drive her country to the brink of destruction--Vivi's pulse quickens a bit. Is it fear? Anger? She's not sure herself.]

[A part of her wants to simply shut the journal and delay the inevitable. But it is inevitable. If Miss All Sunday--no, Nico Robin--is a part of the crew too, it won't be long before Vivi has to face her in person. Maybe it's best, then, so start off like this.]

...he's here. Somewhere. So are most of the others.

[Video]

[toujoursfluer]

[She uncovers the video since there is no reason for Vivi not to see her. It is a bit more of a shock but there is no reason to dance around the truth.]

How tragic. All of us trapped together. [She smiles] I hadn't thought it would end this way. It's a little disappointing, don't you think?

[Even though she doesn't really believe it. can't really believe it. Luffy is stronger than that, right?]

[video]

[hiken_ace]

[.....wait, that's the symbol for Luffy's crew. Another member's here? Maybe it's Zoro....]

You a member of the Strawhats?

[Voice]

[toujoursfluer]

[Portgas D. Ace. She knows of him. That he works for Whitebeard and is generally not someone to be crossed, but his connection to her nakama she doesn't know.]

[If the journal is correct, and it seems to be, his power should be reduced however hers is as well and she would rather not get into a conflict when she is alone]

Why do you ask?

[Voice]

[hiken_ace]

[A woman's voice? Wait, Luffy only had one girl on his crew that time. Well, there was Vivi, too. But her voice was different. Well, a member of Luffy's crew had to be a good person. His voice goes kinder.]

I know them. If you're a member, I'd be glad to help you find them.

[Voice]

[toujoursfluer]

[Will he? And what will he do then? He does sound pleasant all of a sudden and Robin is inclined to believe him-- but even a snake can smile]

Are you a friend?

[And if he lies, will she be able to tell.]

[Straw Hat Filter]

[mikangirl]

[...okay, that's new. Definitely a call for attention, and in the New Feather 'season', too. Nami locks her reply to Straw Hats only, because this person seems to want to be secretive.]

Who's this?

[Straw Hat Filter]

[toujoursfluer]

[The antagonistic tone, the expression, a warm feeling floods through Robin and she smiles in spite of herself. Nakama...]

[Maybe]

[Either way she uncovers the camera]

It's good to see you, Nami-chan.

[Straw Hat Filter]

[oda_hates_me]

[Sanji had let Nami take the lead on this, watching warily from the shadows, but upon seeing who their mysterious summoner is--]

ROBIN-CHWAAAAAAAAAAAAN~! ♥ You've returned to uuuuuuuuuus~!!

[Straw Hat Filter]

[toujoursfluer]

[startles a little at the sudden blast of Sanji and suddenly the forest seems to be listening harder. She blossoms some eyes on trees just in case--but is now on edge.]

I suppose I have. Though this is hardly ideal.
[She might sound a little hushed to a discerning listener.]

[voice]

[gearsandcola]

[So, Franky was drawn to this thanks to Robin's little doodle, and her response to Nami on the Strawhat filter has pretty much confirmed her arrival.

Sure, he could respond to her on that filter like everyone else, but... nah.]

Oi, Nico Robin! Good to see you again! [Though it would be preferable to see her again in their own world, but Franky's just going to roll with it.]

[Video]

[toujoursfluer]

[Robin removes her finger pretty much instantly since it is always good to see Franky for some indiscernible reason]

How long have you been here?

[A few hours. A few days? She's not sure she wants to know but the truth has always been hard.]

[Video]

[gearsandcola]

Tch. Almost two months now. [At least he's got his nakama here, though.]

I'm guessing you just got here, eh?

[Video]

[toujoursfluer]

[That is too long. Two months? She can barely process two days]

It seems so...

[She sighs and looks away. She might seem a little lonely.]

[ voice ]

[lunarities]

[ Usagi just stares a bit curiously at the image for a few moments.. but she's curious enough to actually go reply to the feed. ]

What's that?

[ voice ]

[toujoursfluer]

[That voice is not at all familiar...but there are many others besides those from home, here. Robin debates for a moment on whether to say anything.]

A skull with a hat.

[No point in revealing too much at the outset.]

[ voice ]

[lunarities]

Geez, I can see that much too from the drawing, I'm not stupid.. [ Her voice sounds a little pouty. ]

But why would you draw something like that?

[ voice ]

[toujoursfluer]

Why do you think?

[It's an honest question. People have always used their own interpretations of mysterious symbols and she wonders what this one might mean to someone who obviously doesn't know the connotation.]
