Hikaru was still having serious problems with life on the Cheap Prayer. He didn't get seasick per se-- and imagined he was lucky for that-- but he was having serious balance issues. In short, he was tripping over his own feet every time the ship rocked in the water.

"Ne, Kaoru."

He had taken a while to follow his brother up from below deck, mostly because stairs were not his friends at the moment, and half-fell against the railing. A grateful noise, and he held onto it tightly for fear of tumbling into the sea.

"Is anything wrong?"

Allen would have to thank whoever posted that on their journal about saying something of seasickness, even if they didn't have it. He left early in the morning and returned soon enough with a box full of medicines and ingredients, holding it under an arm as he walked along from the town and back to the Prayer. Stepping up the gangplank easily, he started his way across the dock with the light thunk of his boots across the wood. However, he did seem to pause at seeing the twins, shifting his steps a little with curiousity to head over.

He seemed amused by Hikaru and his life-or-death clinging to the railing, chuckling a little and smiling warmly. "Never been on a ship before?" he asked curiously from the side, shifting the box to rest on his hip somewhat before the first mate tilted his head, looking between the two he could see on deck.

The first time Kaoru jumped was when his twin called after him and then appeared beside him, asking if anything was the matter -to which he shook his head and replied “Just daydreaming, that’s all” and offered a smile, choosing to say nothing about the way his twin clung to the railing.

The next time was when the white haired boy appeared beside them chuckling and asking -which one of them he wasn’t sure -if they’d never been on a ship before. He turned around, one hand still on the railing so he didn’t fall if the ship jerked suddenly, smiling and shaking his head at the white haired boy -absently noting the mark on his right eye.

“We’ve been on our family boats before, but nothing as big as this.” He answered for both of them, so as not to embarrass himself if the question wasn’t directed to him alone.

Hinamori had been spending most of her free time on the ship since she'd joined the crew. During her short stay in the Queen's Wineskin, she'd heard that ships were rather difficult to get used to, and since this was her first time sailing- well, she doubted that a seasick pirate whould last very long, so... she'd given herself a bit of a head start. It probably wasn't as good as being out on the sea, but...

The downside to this was that she hadn't really met any new people. It was a big ship, and she guessed that most people were staying in the inn... and most of the time she'd been below deck or hanging over the side. But, there were some people on deck right now, and since she would be on the ship with them for... quite a long time, she supposed, it would be better to get to know them then to not. Besides, she didn't really like being alone...

"Hello!" she said, walking over to the group. Then, realizing they'd just been talking about things, she quickly continued, "Um... am I interrupting anything? I'm sorry if I am..."

And a sleeping pirate might or might not have been seen up in the crow's nest. That was, until he rolled over and fell out of the nest. After a moment of falling he landed hard on the deck, his head even cracking a board or two from the impact.

After another moment or two, the pirate rolled over again, so he was on his back. He was still asleep, and completely unharmed from a fall that might have killed a normal human. A few minutes passed before Luffy finally woke up, looking around at his crew mates looking at him.

"Eh? What?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Letting out a long yawn Luffy got up to his feet, and stretched a little, wondering why everyone was looking at him.
