Is it just me or does it feel a lot quieter around here recently? Like there was a mass exodus and 90% of the people who were here from other places just...went home.

As long as I'm still here I guess I don't care all that much. Most of the people I usually talk to have still been around so

Yeah, the network's been really quiet, hasn't it? I wonder why that is.

Well, I'll definitely do...whatever! Want to get some more ice cream?

[deadgirldropout]

I think a lot of people went home.

I think we decided on going to Tiki Bar. All of us! And Levi and Roxas are coming too!

[warriorothesea]

...you think? I kind of figured maybe there was something wrong with the network.

All of us? You mean the whole crew? Okay, that sounds like fun! ...we could still go get some ice cream on the way there, too.

[deadgirldropout]

Doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it. A whole lot of people just....disappeared.

Yeah! The whole crew! And I promised Levi I'd go dress shopping with her beforehand, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind getting ice cream too. You want to come shopping with us?

[warriorothesea]

...hm. Yeah, maybe that's where some of them are. I guess that happens sometimes; people just...go back.

Cool! It's been a while since we all went out. And yeah, Levi should come for ice cream too; that'd be awesome! I haven't gotten to see her since she left, anyway.

O-oh. Shopping? I...guess I could. Um. Are you getting something too?

[deadgirldropout]

I think that's where most of them are.

It's going to be awesome, I already decided. I'm trying to get the Vongola to come too.

Yeah, I was going to get a new dress. You don't have to come if you don't want to.

[warriorothesea]

It seems kind of weird for so many people to just leave at once though, doesn't it?

Haha, yeah? I guess you can just invite everyone we know! ...thought maybe they won't all be able to get here in time.

A new dress? Oh, no, yeah, I'll come! Can I see you when you try it on?

[deadgirldropout]

Yeah, but...this is the Grand Line.

Everyone I asked seemed to be pretty close by. And Roxas can get here from anywhere.

Sure. You'll help me pick one out, right?

[warriorothesea]

...true. I should probably stop trying to make things make sense. That's really all the explanation we need, most of the time.

Oh, nice! That's convenient! Oh yeah, and he's handy like that. I think he rescued Pearl from some island last night.

Definitely! What kind? A fancy one?

[deadgirldropout]

It's making me a little nervous. Because it seems like most of the people who came here from other worlds are gone. I hope that doesn't mean that all of us will be sent home.

Oh, yeah, he mentioned that she was with him. He's bringing her over too.

No, not that fancy. Just like...a summer dress. Preferably green.

[warriorothesea]

You mean... No. This is your home now, right? Remember what happened that time you...went to visit Fujiko? You're definitely SUPPOSED to be here with us! ...anyway, I wouldn't let anyone take you. None of us would. Even if they tried, we'd get you back, no matter what.

[deadgirldropout]

Going to visit Fujiko is different from being sent back to Seattle, Usopp. And...Lucci said the same thing. But if I disappeared, it's not like there's even be a way to get me back.

[warriorothesea]

You don’t KNOW. I mean…not for sure. I guess none of us do. A-anyway. If you did disappear… I don’t care. We’d get you back. I’d figure something out.

[deadgirldropout]

...that's what Lucci said too. You guys are the best.

[warriorothesea]

Because it's true. We wouldn't let you go. Because...YOU'RE the best.

[deadgirldropout]

And you guys would be lost without me?
