001 [Action] Lobby!

[Have a perplexed, out of place Ryu.  His attention is on a piece of paper in his hands, trying to make heads or tails of the situation at hand.  The whole school thing was new to him, as, hey, farming communities don't really need education, they just need able bodies and sharp tools.  Granted, he was deeper in the woods away from them, but it all

[Pauses, because fire tends to catch his ears.]

You mean that figuratively, right? [Not everyone did.]

[dragon_savior]

[Ryu responds without even looking up.]

Having walked through the Desert of Death for almost a week, I guess a better comparison would be a freezer. The air feels great here.

[fierybluebird]

Desert of Death?

Mah, and this is still summer here, I think. Wait till it gets to winter. If they have that here.

[dragon_savior]

You find a lot of strange places with stranger names when you're a drifter. I haven't settled somewhere in years.

[The way he spoke about it made him sound a lot older and more well-traveled than he looked.]

Even so, I haven't seen anything that compared to this place. It's massive, probably even bigger than the city of Wyndia.

[fierybluebird]

Heh, sounds familiar.

It's a pretty big garden yeah. I can't quite say it's bigger than my Pops' ships, but it is huge.

[dragon_savior]

For a garden, there aren't many flowers.

[Now Ryu was a little curious, may as well see what other places are like.]

Are there a lot of ships where you come from?

[fierybluebird]

Heh. Well it is a big more like a school.

Yeah, my world is mostly ocean so most everyone uses ships to get around, eh.

[dragon_savior]

I've never seen the inside of a school, to be honest. Although I doubt any of the ones back home were as grand as this.

So many differences... There are only two ships where I come from; The guild's ship in Rhapala, and the Black Ship.

[fierybluebird]

Well, me neither. But I've heard a lot about academy campuses.

... That... I can't even picture. My crew alone had five primary ships and then we each had bunch of smaller personal ones for missions and stuff, eh.

[dragon_savior]

It must be nice to go out onto the ocean. I bet the farther you go out, the bigger fish can get, right? I mean... I've caught a few whales with my pole, but I never tried while on a ship.

[fierybluebird]

You caught whales on a pole? Must be smaller whales than in my world.

And seakings all over the Grand Line. The Calm Belts are their breeding grounds so they venture into the Grand Line to feed.

[dragon_savior]

[Motioning to the fishing pole next to him. It didn't look remarkable in any sense of the word.] Yeah, with that. What are the seakings like?

[fierybluebird]

Bigger than a ship, they like to eat ships. Hell. The caravels are about as big as a tooth from them. Even the babies can usually eat a ship for breakfast unless of course, there's protection on board.

[dragon_savior]

[He pauses for a moment, trying to process their size against the Black Ship. His reaction is one of almost glee, an ear to ear smile pops up on his face.]

I hope I'll get the chance to catch one someday.

[fierybluebird]

You'd have to go to my world to do it. I haven't seen any here, eh.

[dragon_savior]

Well, who knows where we could end up after being pulled here? It sounds like a great challenge.
