[It's been almost close to a month since Chopper has used his communicator. We all know what that means, right?]

BZZZZZZT!!

[There's an incredibly loud yelp, the sound of Chopper falling from... something, possibly the couch that he'd been sitting on, and then off in the background you'll hear a familiar laughter from a Straw Hat captain:

[mizu_isei]

I think I'll go this time.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Sunao, right? That's okay with us! Have you seen our ship before?

[mizu_isei]

Mmhmm. I helped a few times when you were putting it together.

Is there a reason for this trip? Or just exploring again?

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Well now you get to see it again.

...Seifer wants to go look for one of the scientists there. Everyone else can do some exploring though, especially if new people come with us. [And Chopper has been given the task of trying to look for Lolita, but that's a secret between him and Rika.]

[mizu_isei]

It's the right time for me to go. It's too bad I can't get my chip out first...

[Blinking. Well, that last part was more of an internal thought than anything.]

Do you know when you're setting sail? I could try and help you all set up the boat, or gather supplies if you need.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Short pause.]

...oh, I'm not sure yet, but it should be soon. Maybe in a few weeks. Preparing for it is what'll take the most time. You could help with that.

Um, can I ask what you can do with your chip out?

[Locked]

[mizu_isei]

Alright. I'm out around the city a lot, so I could start collecting food or other things. I'll bring whatever I find to the ship, okay?

... [And this is where Sunao decides to lock the response.]

I can... do a few things, but mostly control water.

[Locked]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Okay! ...just don't let Luffy know about the spare food, otherwise he'll eat it, and that's food we need for the trip.

...really?! Like Umi?!

[Locked]

[mizu_isei]

Good point. Maybe I'll keep it at my apartment for now. How are we going to keep him from eating it all on the trip?

That depends. What can Umi do with it?

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Good idea. Nami's still here, so she'll take care of it! Don't worry!

[Locked]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

She can make a dragon out of water! And a whirlwind! ...I can't really remember what else. I don't usually get to see her when she fights, and that's when she uses her powers. Plus, she can fight with a sword too so she doesn't always need to use her magic.

[Locked]

[mizu_isei]

Hm... I can do that, in a way. I don't usually make such elaborate shapes, but I could.

[She sounds distinctly uncomfortable talking about this.]

I can also summon water and control it. [Not going to mention the 'talking to it,' part.] I think it would be... better if I got this chip out, someday.

[Locked]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[It's not like he intends for you to feel like this, it's just important for him to know so he can decide whether or not to get your chip out himself or not.]

...would you want it out really soon, or could you wait a little bit? In other words, would you want it done before the boat trip or after?

[Locked]

[mizu_isei]

[Sunao realizes she'll have to describe her powers, at least to some extent, if she wants her chip out. The problem is, she's also worried about getting it out for a few reasons.]

...I only mentioned it because I thought it could help. If the boat ran into a storm, maybe.

What do you mean though? I thought the last chip location wasn't found yet... or is it?

[Locked]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Awkward silence. ;;]

We found it. I-I'm sorry, that it wasn't mentioned sooner. Only me and another doctor knew for a while, but we kept it secret for a good reason, I promise! I just told Doctorine and Doctor Yagokoro about it though so we should be able to get to work on removing those chips as soon as possible!

...I can't really promise to get to you first, because I have to take care of my crew. They're, my family after all. But if you want it done soon, I can take it out.

[Locked]

[mizu_isei]

Oh! ...

[There's a long silent moment of thought. Not really upset, just curiosity, nervousness... a lot of things.]

You don't need to apologize. I don't think ... it's a good idea for everyone here to know the location. Or even to know that you do for sure. I was just surprised.

It's... I have to think about it. It's alright if I don't get it out very soon, or even before the trip. Unless the rest of you think you'll need my power during that.
