So we're out at sea again and things are just. I don't know. I feel like I'm in some weird sort of limbo. Maybe this place is limbo. That would explain a lot.

So anyway, I did have a point. I need a hobby or something, because I have a lot of free time and...it gets boring. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't think that would work. It doesn't really fit, right?

Uhm. Well, you can always use some of my art stuff if you want to draw or paint or something. Or...hm. I can dig around, maybe I have something you'd like to work on?

[deadgirldropout]

Not really. But who the fuck knows how this shit works.

I don't know if I'm really an artist. Or a...tinker. Maybe I'll just take up meditating to waste time.

[warriorothesea]

Hm. I guess it could be different for all you people who aren't really from here. Maybe.

You don't have to be a really great artist to like drawing, though. I mean. Just look at Luffy. Or Michiko. And I'm sure you're better than they are. ...uh. If you want to, I mean. Just putting that out there.

...meditating just seems like it would be boring to me. Though... Hm.

[deadgirldropout]

No idea. I'm not going to obsess over it.

I guess I could try it. And you could give me a few pointers or something.

I think the point is that you clear your mind. So you're not thinking "hey, this is boring".

[warriorothesea]

Yeah, that's probably best.

It might be fun to at least try, yeah. And, uh. Okay. If you want me to. I WAS kinda giving Lucci some lessons before, but. Well. Not anymore, obviously. Anyway, I could at least try. If you want.

...that's actually the best way anyone's described that to me. I guess it makes sense. It just still doesn't seem like it'd be--I mean, I'm sure there's funner stuff to do.

[deadgirldropout]

I guess that would be a hobby, though. Philosophizing or whatever.

Would you mind?

Well I don't think it's fun, it's...not anything. Your mind is totally clear of anything. You're not bothered by all the shit going in in your life. It's like...a break.

[warriorothesea]

Oh. True. If you're into that kinda thing.

No, of course not. It might even be fun, don't you think?

...yeah, I guess. Lu--uh. Someone said maybe I should try it, just to...help me not to worry so much sometimes. And Zoro's tried to get me to do it, too. I just...I dunno. I guess I never tried it for very long. It probably takes a while to get used to it and do it right, maybe.

[deadgirldropout]

I'm not, really.

Yeah, I think it would be.

I don't think I've ever actually done it right, but it seems like it'd be worth a try, at least.

[warriorothesea]

Yeah, I didn't think so. Well, I guess that's always an option if you change your mind.

Okay, cool! We should definitely do that, then! Uh, whenever you want. Just let me know.

Me either. Of course, I never really tried that hard.

[deadgirldropout]

I guess so. I won't rule it out completely.

We could start today, if you want? I'm seriously ridiculously bored.

Zoro is really good at it, he could probably give us some pointers.

[warriorothesea]

You don't really seem like the philosophizing type, though.

Oh, sure! Meet you somewhere? ...heh, maybe we could paint some of the fish in the aquarium or something. They're nice and colorful, so we could use lots of the paints and markers and stuff I have.

Yeah, he's kind of offered before. Uh, and-- ...never mind.

[deadgirldropout]

Yeah, not really. I guess I prefer not to think about it.

Sure, that sounds like fun. I showed you the ones we named after everyone in the crew, right?

What?

[warriorothesea]

Makes sense.

Uh. SOME of them. You should show me them all again.

...Lucci said before that he could show me, too.

[deadgirldropout]

I will! They're awesome. I'm glad Sanji let us keep them.

Oh. Well. Yeah. He probably could.

[warriorothesea]

...heh. Well. I guess if they have names, they're kind of pets. And there's definitely a "no eating pets" rule.

Meh.

[deadgirldropout]

Yeah. I like to watch the fish.

...but yeah...Zoro can teach you too.
