[Guess who got shocked by their communicator again.]

Goddamn thing. Some things never change here.

So instead of snow, we get fog. Figures.

Anyway. Anyone who's interested in learning how to use a sword, talk to mages_game. I'll be helping him ou--

[He pauses. He just heard footsteps.]

...The hell was that?!

[bokuwadoctaaa]

And I wanted to go outside too.

Can't see anything. Don't like it.

Feels bad.

[...] D-did you... hear something?

[threesword]

It happens around here sometimes.

[....] Thought I did, but it stopped.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

This place always gets worse and worse.

Mm... good.

[...]

It wouldn't be a good idea, to go outside. Or at least not for that long.

[threesword]

No, it wouldn't. You stay inside if you can -- same goes for the rest of the crew.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

I'll be sure to do that. I'll remind everyone else too. It'll be hard to convince Luffy though.

[...]

Zoro, be... careful.

[threesword]

He's not going to listen to us either way. It's just not what he does.

[...]

I'll be fine.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

I was afraid you'd say that. It's true though. But it wouldn't hurt him to be a little more careful.... ah, well that's the point of it really. Maybe I can convince him to stay indoors for more stretcher racing.

I-I know but... um... N-no, if you say so, then you will be. And everyone else will be too.

[threesword]

He's the captain - he's gonna do whatever the hell it is that he wants. He won't be careful, but he'll be fine. Luffy isn't going to let us down that easily.

I'll be fine, Chopper. A little fog's not going to be a problem.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

He might be the captain and be able to do all of that, b-but I'm the doctor, and I have to make sure he's okay. Gotta make sure all of you are okay. [...] You're right though.

Okay then. ...It's not a little fog, it's a lot of fog! There's a big difference. Really big.

[threesword]

Just relax, Chopper. Nothing's even happened. You're getting ahead of yourself.

Fog is fog. Doesn't make much of a difference either way.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[pffff flailing just a bit. Dying made him a wee bit paranoid. ;;]

S-sorry.

Fog can be different! ...can it?

[threesword]

Probably. But it hasn't done anything but be really thick yet.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

'Yet'. I don't like that word. It sounds like something Usopp would use.

[threesword]

It doesn't mean anything will happen. Just better to be prepared.
