[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

... I noticed it was gone. His frequency.

-Zoro was his friend too, after all.-

[embracethewaves]

Yeah. It...a few days ago.

[...] But, jeez...those scientists really do like bringing people back and forth, too.

[tenkai_soul]

Yeah... Seems like someone I care about is gone every week or so...

[embracethewaves]

Those freak scientists...I don't know what they're doing. It's like they enjoy toying with us like this.

[tenkai_soul]

... Sometimes I get the impression that they don't even know what they're doing. They went insane before we even got here...

[embracethewaves]

[...] It's definitely hard to tell what they're thinking. If they're thinking. But you think it could be something like that...?

[tenkai_soul]

I do. I mean... you've seen the state of things even outside this city. About the pressure Accido was putting on them before the fall. All those people dying...

It would be hard. Almost impossible... to keep one's wits in order.

[embracethewaves]

[...] I can't even imagine...what it must have been like. Trying to get through something like that.

Even so. No matter what, dragging so many people into it isn't right or fair, either.

[tenkai_soul]

I'm not excusing what they did. Just... yeah.

[embracethewaves]

I know, I know...sorry if I made it sound that way.

[...] It's a lot quieter, isn't it?

[tenkai_soul]

There's less people than there was a year ago, for certain.

[embracethewaves]

Boy...a year ago. There aren't as many people left now that have been around longer than that.

[tenkai_soul]

I can't really say it's a terrible thing. But at the same time... it's sort of lonely.

[embracethewaves]

I think I understand what you mean. There are plenty of people that I miss here, but I wouldn't want to bring them back.

[...] They can't keep all of us here forever, though. We'll find a way out. And...maybe we'll even find a way to see our friends again -- in a better place than this weirdo city.

[tenkai_soul]

It's a nice thing to hope for, at least.

[embracethewaves]

Yeah, well...I think if we stop hoping for the best, this place just becomes way too depressing.
