44 [Voice; Japanese/Text] (Backdated to mid-day)

[threesword]

Alright. Whoever's planning on coming out on this lake trip, come down to the docks. We can't leave until this ship is done and we still have a hell of a long way to go before then.

[...]

Also, oi... has anyone seen Usopp?

[Repeats this in text.]

[Kay. Communicator responses are as welcome as commentlogs. Feel free to threadjack and talk to

uh handwave that she's supposed to be there or what [COMMENTLOG]

[nomnomguts]

[She's not being useful, because hell if Riful's going to drafted into doing work for anyone, but is drifting around a bit on the outskirts, peering curiously at all the activity. You can try to drag the little loli into doing some hard labor. If you have the heart to do it~]

XDDD works for me [COMMENTLOG]

[threesword]

[Zoro was a little frustrated, to say the least, about the lack of progress. It wasn't really anybody's fault, but he'd been working to the bone for weeks trying to get things organized and was growing impatient with not seeing the results he wanted.

He spotted Riful not doing anything and sighed. He could see a hammer and nails lying just a few inches from her feet, so he called out to her.]

Oi, oi! You think you can bring me those?

/o/ [COMMENTLOG]

[nomnomguts]

[Riful turns at the shout, glancing over curiously and with more than a little annoyance. Who was ordering her around?

...but, she remembers that voice, even if they'd never met face to face. This was probably not the person to argue with, if she wants to go along on the trip. So Riful will just be bringing over the hammer and nails with a friendly smile... even if mentally she's more than a bit miffed. :|]

[He really doesn't take much notice to her annoyance, to be frank. He's surprisingly focused on actually trying to get things done. This was his project now and he was determined to get somewhere with it.

But when she comes over and hands him the stuff, he looks up, offering an equally friendly smile - he was pretty satisfied with how things were beginning to come along, even if it was slower than he would have liked.]

Thanks.

\o/[COMMENTLOG]

[nomnomguts]

Mm~

[Well, at least her action was appreciated. A bit placated by the smile in return, Riful tilts her head to one side, just... watching him work. She has no intention of joining in.]

Just what are you doing?

[COMMENTLOG]

[threesword]

[He doesn't really seem to notice that she's not doing much. He's pretty bad at stuff like that and he's just trying to get things done.]

Trying to get the parts of this ship done that need we. He had one partially built before, but it's still a mess.

[COMMENTLOG]

[nomnomguts]

[Good for Riful then.]

Ah, who is 'he'?

...goodness, no one has tried to cross the lake before?

[COMMENTLOG]

[threesword]

A couple of people. I don't know how long it's been here... Hell, I barely know who was workin' on it before.

[He pauses, thinking about it.]

Not since I've been here. I know Prydain and some others did a while back.
