You know, I didn't have a problem with rats until that. Pretty sure now I do.

[Death by melting rat really sucked, so she's going to try and act like everything's fine. It's not really fine, but she'll manage. She got through being murdered in the chess game and that really sucked, so she can get through this. Probably.]

And I don't feel like asking if anyone else has some bullshit like that Wonderland could through at us like if you guys have fire breathing parakeets or flesh eating manatees or some shit like that, so here's a different question. What didn't you all have a problem with before Wonderland?

[Naoki is in the library, a place he does not visit often. He has a rather large book open on the table in front of him, but he looks like he's more likely to use it as a pillow than actually get to turning any pages. He's not dumb by any means, but studying really isn't his thing, and planetary science is harder than he expected.

So instead of doing his own research, he figures he'll ask the network for information! He breaks out his device and starts up a feed.]


Does anyone else come from a world where natural laws are...strange?

[Cuts right to the chase.]

...I guess I have no way to explain what I mean by "natural laws" since those can be really different in different worlds. Like the way magic works in some worlds and not others. So I guess what I'm really asking is what are the natural laws in your world? Because in mine, they got kind of weird at some point and I'm wondering how common that kind of thing is.

Hi. I'm Sanji.

I've been keeping to myself since I got here, pretty much.

( Sanji has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, holding the device close enough that those watching can't really tell what room he's in. He pinches the cigarette between forefinger and thumb, taking it out, pushing smoke out of his lungs away from the camera. )

So I'd like to pick some of your brains, whoever's out there and listening, since I haven't really gotten the chance to do so before.

( There's a pause. )

First question is ... How many of you would be interested in me opening up some kind of restaurant? Whether you're working with me or just there to eat.

( Then he shakes his head, grins. )

Second is a total aside, but I figured I could try.

Anyone out there able to get cigarettes that aren't shitty? It's all my closet is giving me.

…Is this really supposed to be calming?

[Jean’s device is propped up against his thigh as he sits at the edge of the docks. A red and white bobber would can be seen floating on top of the gentle waves, rocking in and out of view. His loud sigh is clearly audible over the gentle roar of the surf.]

This is boring, not calming. And the two aren’t the same. Boring means I have time to think about things I shouldn’t. That’s the opposite of calming.

[He compulsively reels in, and casts his line again. It doesn’t go as far as it could. He’s still getting used to this whole pole thing.]

Why do people even do this? If you’re trying to feed yourself, traps are way more efficient.

[A seagull cries in the distance.]

What a waste of time. I mean, I’m trying to waste time, but still. This is dumb. You guys agree, right?

[Jean, you’re going crazy. This obviously isn’t your hobby. Just give it up already and stop spamming the network with your inane rambling.]

[…He does like the attention though.]

[It's quiet for a few more minutes, before Jean speaks up again.]


Armin's gone. I dunno if anyone knew him that well, since he keeps to himself a lot, but he's gone. So that's why I'm fishing.

It's really not working.

[ Ange's message is pretty to the point. She isn't the most social type, after all, so she doesn't feel like fluffing up what she actually wants to know with some pointless social chitchat. Even though the topic might be a little too serious to just drive straight into. ]

What do you think happens to people who are dead? I don't mean people who die in this place. I don't know how many people there are in this place who are dead back home but ended up in this place somehow anyway, but I know there's at least one from personal experience. [ You know. Since she died right before getting here. Very personal experience. ] That's the kind of dead I'm talking about.

If someone like that disappears from this place, what happens? Do they go back to be dead in their own world? Or are they just permanently dead here? Do they haunt the halls like some spooky invisible ghost no one can notice?

.. I'd prefer if it wasn't the latter, actually. I've had enough of this place's antics as is.

[ Her tone is just as emotionless as ever, getting even a little more deadpan near the end there, despite the topic. ]

[It's been a rough day so far for Sabo. He's awake now, but he feels like he hasn't really slept long at all, and he has a bit of a headache.

He also looks like crap, with serious bed hair poofed on top of his head. He reaches over to the nightstand and picks up the device, then turns it on and then off again. He has to fix his hair first.

After a few seconds of messing around with it until he's satisfied, he stands up, throws on his jacket and hat, and tries it again. The device turns on.]


Hello? Hello. Hi, I don't know if anyone I'm familiar with is around, but if they are, please speak up. Though ... I have a feeling that isn't going to be the case. [You may hear a soft sigh before he speaks again.]

If you don't know me, well, I'm from a world where we don't use these devices at all, so I'm kind of not sure what I'm doing! [He smiles.] I'm used to the Snails, but I think these things here will be a little easier to care for.

So ... [He puts his free hand on his chin for a second.]

Wonderland, huh? [He mutters something about Devil Fruit, but unless your hearing is really astute, you probably won't pick up on it.] What's the deal with this?
