[When the feed first switches on, it's at angle, coming from the ground. A rather angry teenager is shown, kicking pebbles around the empty streets. He looks around at the delapidated buildings around him, and huffs.]

What the hell's up with this stupid place?! I gotta get back to Fishman Island and kick Hordy's ass!

AND MY CREW'S NOT EVEN HERE, WHAT THE HELL'S UP WITH THAT!?!?!??! [In his anger, Luffy punches a nearby wall, leaving large cracks, and eventually crumbles. He pouts angrily before perking up.]

I know! I'll just take a look from one top of the buildings! [He bends forward, putting his arms behind him and grinning widely.]

YOSH!!!! Gomu Gomu no..........ROCKET! [He swings his arm in front of him, reaching for the top of a nearby building. But rather than having his arms shoot toward the roof, they didn't stretch at all, and instead fell flat on his face. He laid still for a few moments before jerking up, even angrier tha before.]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? WHY CAN'T I USE MY GOMU GOMU POWERS!?!?!?!??!

See, so there is some merit in meeting her then. If she is truly the best, than she must be quite something, no?

[straw_hat]

Of course she is! She can navigate the Grand Line like it's nothing!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

I've only heard a few tales of this Grand Line, but from what I hear it's quite dangerous. Might you tell me about it? It sounds wonderfully chaotic!

[Haer'Dalis simply loves chaos]

[straw_hat]

It's great there! Compasses don't work, so you have to use a special one called a Log Pose. There's a whole buncha different islands! Like one for giants, and a reeeeeeally big land called Alabasta! One of my nakama is the princess there. And there was a place called Thriller Bark that was like a haunted house! With zombies and everything! They've got huge Sea Kings, too!

But right now my crew and I are headed for the New World!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Interesting... The polarity there must be incredibly unique... Sounds like many of the different planes I've been to, wrapped up into one stretch of sea. What's a Sea King?

Oh? Are you traveling to a different world? Or is that just what it's called?

[straw_hat]

It's a really, really big fish.

Yeah, the New World is what's after the Grand Line.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Bigger than your ship?

So is it another stretch of ocean?

[straw_hat]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than my ship!

Yeah!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

... bigger than a town?

[straw_hat]

Nah, not that big. But they could cause a lot of damage to one.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Well at least it's not like the Zaratan, the giant mythical turtles that carry islands on their back.

[straw_hat]

That sounds so cool, though!!!!!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Haha! I have more tales of countless wonders and amazing places than simply islands on the back of a turtle. I've traveled the cosmos of the universe, seen distant stars and witnessed the endlessness of the void. I've seen ancient gods and civilizations thought long lost to man. I have danced in falling meteors, and seen dark places that no man has ever entered. Truly the tales I could tell you would fill several books, but I suspect that the adventures you've been through, are almost as exciting as mine have been.

[straw_hat]

Yours sounds really, really cool!!!! The whole universe!?!?!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Well a great deal of it at any rate. That and I've traveled to so many other universes than my own that I've practically seen an entire universe worth of universes.

[straw_hat]

[Total amazement.

Just. This face forever.] Wooooooooooow, those sound like a lot of fun!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Would that it were possible for me to bring another when I planar travel. It's all fun and good to travel to different worlds, but it's a little lonely on your own. Although I suppose that since you're her in Discedo, you're a bit of a planeswalker yourself now Berk.

[straw_hat]

You don't have anyone to travel with you?

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't have friends that I would love to take with me, it's just that most of the time, my magic doesn't allow me to take anyone with me but myself. It's a very erratic power to begin with.

[straw_hat]

....that's gotta be kinda boring, going by yourself.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Or simply... rather lonely. I have to rely on my charms and wit to make new friends wherever I go to share in the wonders of their world with them.
