What's swimming like?

[ooc; Since I didn't post to the AU plotting post: Chopper comes from a universe where he was born a human...but he's retained all of his memories from his normal life, in which he was cursed with the inability to swim.]

You've never gone swimming?

[Voice] tanukipoint August 19 2010, 01:17:17 UTC

[Headshake.] I couldn't because I was a Hammer before, but now that I'm human...

[Voice] i_speak_softly August 19 2010, 01:20:57 UTC

A hammer? [That doesn't make much sense...] You should go! It's fun!

[Voice] tanukipoint August 19 2010, 01:26:43 UTC

"Hammer" is a term we use to describe Devil Fruit users in my world. We sink when we're submerged in water, and we can't swim at all, so water is usually really dangerous for us.

But since I'm a human now, I don't think I ever ate a Devil Fruit. I might not be a Hammer anymore.

[Oh, yeah. Someone told him about something like that once.]

Humans aren't very good swimmers, though...

[Voice] tanukipoint August 19 2010, 01:45:42 UTC

That's okay! I wasn't able to swim at all before, so it's already an improvement!

[Voice] i_speak_softly August 19 2010, 02:01:33 UTC

You should go to the lake, then. Part of it is really shallow.

[Voice] tanukipoint August 19 2010, 02:28:41 UTC

Shallow? But shouldn't I go to deep water if I want to swim? [Forgive him Tchai, he is a NOOB.]

[Voice] i_speak_softly August 19 2010, 22:25:19 UTC

Deep water is more fun, but you can drown...

[Voice] tanukipoint August 20 2010, 20:12:25 UTC

...I-I don't like drowning.

[Voice] i_speak_softly August 20 2010, 23:22:58 UTC

No, I don't think anybody does. You should stay in shallow water until you learn how to swim better.

[Voice] tanukipoint August 21 2010, 01:29:22 UTC

Wow, you must know a lot about swimming!

[Voice] i_speak_softly August 21 2010, 01:33:54 UTC

I go swimming all the time. [In case you didn't notice -] I'm a turtle.

[Voice] tanukipoint August 21 2010, 02:59:26 UTC

All the time? You're really good at it then, I bet!

[Voice] i_speak_softly August 22 2010, 16:34:03 UTC

Yeah, every day. We have a big swimming pool in our enclosure; we just walk over and jump in.

I don't swim as much here, though. It's kind of far to the lake.
