Zoro's not here anymore.

[...that's all chopper can manage as he shuts the journal and sets it aside next to himself. he's sitting right outside the door of room 202. this was zoro's room. zoro's old room. he'd assumed his crewmate had just gotten lost and after searching around with perona, he'd realized that he hadn't checked the room

[ in which karen will be looking around the castle for chopper. she starts from the bottom so luckily, she'll show up around the corner of floor two in fifteen minutes and spotting chopper. ]

[doublehats]

[his ears twitch a little when he suspects someone might be nearby, and when he looks up and sees someone familiar nearby he quickly wipes at his face and waves, attempting a small smile. HE'S OKAY............. :(]

[advocacies]

[ she's coming to sit right next to him. ]

You okay?

[doublehats]

[a pause, then a little nod as he looks at his marimo in a jar]

A little bit. ...I shouldn't be sad, because Zoro wouldn't want me to be, and it's not like the rest of us won't go back home too... but I'm still sad.

[advocacies]

[ she pats his head, glancing at the... jar. ]

It's alright to be sad. He's your friend and you can't help it. I guess... it's because of that we don't know when we'll be able to go home.

[doublehats]

Mm. Even if I could wait a long time, I don't really want to. It was nice to see everyone else again... a-at least I got this though! [he holds up the jar so she can get a better look]

1/2

[advocacies]

Patience hasn't always been one of my fortes either. [ a sigh. ]

[advocacies]

[ head tilt. ]

Is that moss?

[doublehats]

[okay, he can't help it this time. tiniest of smiles]

Uh-huh, it's called a marimo. That's what Sanji calls Zoro, because his hair is green, so it looks like this! I found it in his room when I looked inside.

[advocacies]

Green hair isn't the weirdest I've seen. Bea's hair is that color... [ she quickly looks at the door but sees no nameplate. ] Think it's the castle's way of trying to say sorry?

1/2

[doublehats]

I don't need a dumb castle giving me things to tell me it's sorry. I didn't need anything at all, 'cause I'm a man! See? I'm not crying or...

[doublehats]

Or anythin'! 'm not, eben a lil' bid...

[YEAH HE'S CRYING]

[advocacies]

[ OH JESUS. ]

Chopper, hey. Come on, it'll be alright.

[haki]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....!!!!!!!! [ there's faint screaming on the other side of the wall, inside zoro's now empty room. though, in a second, a young man bursts through it ... and flies towards his crew member and a lady ] OWW--!! OHWAIT,I'MMADEOFRUBBER!!

[doublehats]

[SCREAMING OH GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE, SAVE HIM MYSTERY LADY WITH THE BIG........ FRONT ASSETS]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!
