[The post clicks on, unceremoniously, when Umi sets it down (along with a few other things, judging from the rustling sound of a bag being dropped down) and accidentally hits a button. The video begins recording, but all you get to see is her back and the shipyard as she walks away from the camera, across the dock, seemingly unaware that it's on at

[s-sob big sis. ;;]

...maybe she misses them too.

[embracethewaves]

[L-little bro ;;] She? Who do you mean, Chopper?

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Weather Hardy. Unless she didn't get all that used to us yet. She's still kind of a new boat still.

[embracethewaves]

You know...everyone who went with us helped to build her in the first place, though. I bet she really does miss them.

It's a lot harder for Weather Hardy to see everyone else again, since she's a ship. If we all go...

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Nope, can't think like that. We've done enough moping for once.]

I-I hope we give her really good memories of us!

[embracethewaves]

[Holy crap this is a sad bunch of people. Our hearts ;A;]

...We'll have to take good care of her for as long as we can. And have some really great adventures, too!

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[SOMEONE TELL KOBATO TO COME BACK.]

Right! Even if we don't have that big of a crew now, we can still sail on her.

...I wonder if she'd be able to fix herself like Merry did.

[/SAYS HER NAME THREE TIMES AT MIDNIGHT IN FRONT OF A MIRROR TO SUMMON HER-- oh wait.]

Exactly! It'd be almost like a crime to let her get lonely, right?

[...] Fix herself?

[ur doin it wrong.]

And there's still pirates here. We're not gonna stay on land forever now that we've got a ship. We already sailed on the lake once but that doesn't mean we can't do it again whenever we want to.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

She did! When we went to Skypiea! Usopp said that he saw someone fixing Merry one night but it turns out that was Merry's spirit! He told us that later after we left Water 7!

[I wanted Kobato and all I got was this stupid Bloody Mary 8(]

It's a big lake, right? Just because we explored one place doesn't mean the rest is off limits!

[embracethewaves]

...Turns out that what?? Really...a spirit! I've never heard of anything like that!

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[We're going to have to the the Moe Summoning Manual and try again. :/]

That's right! And it's true, Merry had a spirit! Franky told us that if ships are taken care of by their crew really well, they end up with something kind of like a soul. He called it something, but I can't remember what it was.

I'm glad Merry liked sailing with us so much.

[embracethewaves]

[Just don't send me to the remedial Moe Summoning class ;o;]

So ships can have souls, too... [A pause, and a smile; it reminds her a little of the mashin.]

You know what? I'm not surprised at all that she did. I'll bet the Weather Hardy does, too!

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Franky's a shipwright so if he says so, then it has to be true!

Oooh, I hope maybe I get to see it like Usopp did!
