So how many people don't have an ocean at home? I mean, I kind of thought it was something everyone would have, but I've met a couple people who don't- so now I wondered.

Arcadia doesn't have any oceans. The continents are separated by the Deep Sky.

[Voice]

[sniperkingftw]

Is the Deep Sky just air? Do the islands still float or are they all stuck where they are? [ Gah, more arc flashbacks. ]

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

Air and clouds, yeah. If you fall down there, you're done for, because it leads all the way down to the planet's core.

The islands float, but they don't actually move around. Heh, it's a good thing too. If they did move, we'd have to change our maps every so often.

[Voice]

[sniperkingftw]

That far down? [ Good god, man. ] Aa, Luffy and Zoro would be done for, they always fall off of things.

Huh. A world of sky islands. That's really cool.

[ ...so never. Okay, okay, eventually Usopp does indeed take up his usual seat. And there he sits for a minute.

Or two.

Or five.

Possibly ten. Or maybe that's just him, he's awful at this stuff. ]

...I'm sorry. [ Not every sincere apology has to be screamed, you know. ]

[action]

[oda_hates_me]

[Sanji wasn't expecting screaming in the first place.

And since it's about time they had this conversation, Sanji lowers his spatula and turns around to face him, gaze flat. Not really angry, but he's not smiling either]

... I wouldn't have blamed you, y'know.

[sniperkingftw]

[ Squirms. ] I know.

[ And what's the best way to explain here...sighs. ] I was being a jerk. I got scared.

[derek_bliss]

We have several; haven't really seen them in a few years though; been landlocked in my country's desert because of my job.

[sniperkingftw]

You have? [ Poor guy. ] Important job, huh?

[derek_bliss]

[How to answer that? Derek tends to get antsy when people start attaching things like 'important' and similar words in regards to his job.]

...Keeps me moving, at any rate.

[sniperkingftw]

You could always consider becoming a pirate, you know. [ Is he kidding? Is he? ] It's really fun.

[ When your captain isn't dragging you into some kind of life-threatening situation. ]

[one_green_eye]

How much of your world is covered by ocean? And how can any world not have an ocean at all...

[sniperkingftw]

Ah...I don't know, exactly. I haven't seen all of it yet. Probably more than most people here, though- every place is an island.

The same way your world has mushi and my friend Luka's has airplanes, I guess. They just do.

[one_green_eye]

Yeah but-- there's a difference between new species and advanced technology... and that...[skeptical scientist is skeptical]. You'd think it would throw off that balance of life....[mutter mutter ponder]

...So what are the islands like?

[sniperkingftw]

Would it really?

That depends on the island you go to, and what kind it is. There are winter islands and tropical islands and desert islands, and we went to an island in the sky, once. Oh, and Water 7 was just a city, with a lot of canals to travel in. Aa, we also went to Thriller Bark. It was just creepy, and then it turned out to be a giant ship and not an island at all. There's supposed to be an island somewhere underwater, too, but we haven't made it there yet.

[superskilled]

What's an ocean?

[sniperkingftw]

What's...

[ ...you mean? ]
