♠ Nine of Hearts ♠ [Video]

Well, I have to say I was feeling a little disappointed the last couple of days. Though my tree has been growing pretty fast it hadn't really done anything but get taller. But! It bloomed over night! And looks to be bearing fruit now too!

...Ace?

[dontcallmegol]

Mn? I'm fine. Just... a little surprised.

[pilot_princess]

What happened?

[dontcallmegol]

Nothing. I just... wasn't expecting to see fruit from my world.

[pilot_princess]

Oh... Is it bad?

[dontcallmegol]

It doesn't taste that great and isn't very good for your health.

{Oh if only she knew what he REALLY meant by that.}

[pilot_princess]

Oh... why not?

[...because she thinks they look tasty.

[dontcallmegol]

They make you sick. {It was a lie, but she didn't need to know that.}

[pilot_princess]

How come? What kind of fruits are they?

[dontcallmegol]

They are called Devils Fruit. They're appealing look is what gets animals and even people to eat them.

Then you realize they taste bad and one bite will give you a tummy ache. They're misleading.

{He was on a roll with this lying thing.}

[pilot_princess]

Devils Fruit... that sounds kind of exciting.

But why would they have such a cool name like that if they only give you a tummy ache?

[dontcallmegol]

It's because they trick people. Like a devil would lead someone astray.

{Hey, it sounded good to him.}

[pilot_princess]

...but wouldn't a devil try to kill the person? Or possess them or something really awful and not just a stomach ache?

[Now she's just more tempted to snag one.]

[dontcallmegol]

Not necessarily. They do all kinds of things to trick people. Look, it was just figurative.

[pilot_princess]

...uh-huh.

[Now she's completely skeptical.]
