Week 3: Post Trial

[disclosures]

[Rebecca can be found in the library, listlessly flipping through one of Anderson's books. These things don't have happily ever afters, but at least there was a to be continued instead of something else.

Here it is, the first time they've ever condemned the wrong person to execution.

Her eyes snap up as Sanji enters the space.]

... Hey.

[What does she even say?]

They're like ships but they... fly? [How does she explain this. She's never had to fly a plane or steer a ship.] It's faster to get from place to place on a plane than a ship.

You sound like you really care about them. [Must be nice to have a crew that close. Even as weird as they got.] Is this the longest you've been away from them?

[concasse]

Huuuh... [Looking really impressed? That is not really technology that exists on his world] Yeah, the best we got on my world is trains and ships. No planes. That shit sounds useful, though.

[Anyway.]

And actually, no. We had to spend two years apart to train. [A pause] There's only one time we've lost, but we lost badly, and it was a real eye opener.

It's great for traveling and moving cargo around. My job doesn't really have anything to do with that though. I'm usually trying to get building built, going through legal paperwork.

That seems like a long time to be away from... family? Friends? Your crew? You don't sound that fond of that Zoro guy.

[concasse]

The shitty swordsman gets on my last nerve but I don't hate him.

[Said in the tone rivaling brothers would probably use for each other.]

And it was captain's orders, so two years is what we decided on. But it's fine, we're back together.

[Switching gears tho]

Neh, Rebecca-chan, do you have any siblings?

[disclosures]

[She's too much of an only child to get that tone.]

No. I'm an only child. It's probably for the best, actually. My family has a long history of anxiety and depression and other mental illnesses on both sides. And the way I grew up? I don't want anybody living through that either.
