Twenty-Third Strike - [Action]

[not_klonoa]

[Today, in the brush close to the forest, a very small, furry, white creature is playing. It's a baby polar bear. The little bear rolls around on the ground and grass, paws reaching for its feet, which are waving in the air. It seems to want to grab them, or what's on the bottom of them

1/2 lmao this has to happen.

[sorryhesabear]

[ ...awww, Bepo didn't know there were other polar bears in Luceti. Shouldn't this one be with her mother somewhere? He could help her out!

because, you know, keywords. He stops in the middle of power-freakout-walking just for the babby. ]

[sorryhesabear]

[ ...wait, he's not a polar bear anymore

ffuuuuuuuuu- DESOLATION. NO POINTS SCORED. ]

Th-this is really unfair!

Eeexcellent~

[Presea blinks and stops her efforts to poke her paw pads for just a moment. There is a person there, looking at her. ...R-Right. She probably looked rather strange, and really did have to get home and tell everyone else she was back home.

Righting herself, or at least getting onto her belly, Presea stares at the stranger from a far.]

...Hello?

[sorryhesabear]

[ herpaderp, stepping closer. ] Hi.

I didn't know that polar bears really lived here. Actually, I haven't seen a lot of bears at all... [ Sigh. Such is life. ]

[pawpadsomg]

Polar...bear? [Is that what species she was? Presea had never heard of it, though she was thankful to have not become a monster bear from her world. Those things were nasty.] I am not naturally a...polar bear.

[sorryhesabear]

[ Headtilt. ]

You're not?

[pawpadsomg]

[Well, now that Presea's sure this person won't hurt her, she trots slowly up to him, but keeps well out of arm's length, just in case.]

Correct. My natural born species is human.

[sorryhesabear]

Hey, my natural born species is polar bear. Maybe we got switched around. [ ...he's not the GREATEST with theories. But he's derpy enough to almost get it right. ]

[pawpadsomg]

[Well, considering nothing in Luceti ever makes sense, that's actually a rather plausible theory. And one Presea can't dismiss.]

It is a possibility. Have others' species been modified as well?

[sorryhesabear]

Yeah. Even my Captain. [ Which is a pretty big deal as far as he's concerned- the Captain is untouchable *A* ]

[pawpadsomg]

Captain? You are a sailor...? [That's kind of weird. Having a bear on a ship. Maybe a pet.]

[sorryhesabear]

[ Nod. ] I'm a member of the Heart Pirates.

[pawpadsomg]

Pirate...? [What the hell a pirate bear. That sounds so weird, Presea can't even imagine it. What does a Pirate bear even do?] I have never met a true pirate...but the rumors are all...unpleasant.

[sorryhesabear]

All of them? [ Not in that "ohoho surely not all of them" manner, but in a genuine "dude are all the rumors seriously bad" way. ] We get pulled into pretty crazy things, but I never thought we did anything really bad.

[ Not biased. ]

[pawpadsomg]

...Yes. [Looting, stealing, plundering, attacking smaller imperial vessels for treasure and weapons...killing the soldiers. The stories she had heard were numerous, but most if not all of them were bad. But still, this...bear didn't seems like a bad person. He was actually pretty nice.] What exactly does a pirate do? I...I have never been to the sea.

[sorryhesabear]

You haven't? [ Different worlds are just so odd. >: ]

Well, we all sail around the world together in our submarine, and see a lot of different islands and people. We wind up getting into fights with other crews sometimes, but you kind of have to expect that when everyone's after the same treasure.
