reeeeeeally shaky voice test!

[tonytony]

[there's a strange, stubby upright tanuki deer looking thing with a blue nose pulling on the rim of its oversized pink felt tophat.]

NO!! It can't be true! You can't be serious!! You can't take me there! I swear on my honor as a man, I'll n-...never forgive you!

—Eh? Oh...

Okay... I guess it's good that Robin is there... Nami, too. That makes it a little less scary. But what about everyone else?! And, and—what are those fae?! Ugh, it sounds terrible! So creepy, so creepy! Creepy!

...But I guess, if people really need a doctor...

I'm used to small villages like that. I'm used to the perils of unsupervised health, too...

But, I'm a little scared... Is it... really for the best?

[chorosdiastatos]

don't fret, love, it's not all bad!
the village has plenty of wonderfUl people who woUld be eager to have a doctor aroUnd. myself inclUded. ^u^
not to mention that there are nice fae, too!

just gonna assume that chopper isn't seeing her face rn

[tonytony]

Oh... there are?

Why're your "U"s so big??

[mikangirl]

It'll be okay, Chopper. Robin and I don't do so badly here.

[Just...casually not mentioning that the population seems pretty unsavoury lately, or that the fae are actually kind of terrifying. Ahaha.]

[tonytony]

NAMIIIII!!

Why is your hair so long?! Grew, it grew!?

2/2

[tonytony]

Did a fairy make your hair grow???

Am I gonna have long fur?! I don't want that!

1/2

[mikangirl]

[Oh. Right.

Pink fuzzy hat: check.

Lack of stripy shirt: check.]

[mikangirl]

I just grew it out, that's all. I felt like a change. Don't you like it?

[tonytony]

Uhooo!! It's pretty! It grew so fast! Nami, you're amazing!! You must have very healthy hair follicles!

[mikangirl]

I have very healthy everything! You'll be pleased to know that Robin and I have been taking good care of ourselves.

[Because the girls have common sense, unlike some marimo we can think of.]

[tonytony]

Really...? That's good, but...it doesn't sound like it's easy, in that place. It doesn't even sound like a totally balanced diet is possible...

Sanji isn't there? Do you cook?

[mikangirl]

Sanji-kun isn't here, no. [There's a wistful smile at that.] I do a lot of cooking now, actually. I run the bar in town. Oh, but it's healthy enough! The villagers farm, and there was a harvest, and people hunt... we don't have any luxuries, but we do eat well enough.

[tonytony]

Oh... I really liked our life on Sunny, though. But I've been used to even less than what Demeleier has, so it's okay.

[mikangirl]

[Nami puts a hand down on his hat and pushes it forward a little affectionately.] Demeleier is certainly better than some places. You'll do fine.

[life_partners]

Ooh, you're so cute!! Look at your little nose!

...Wait. You're a doctor?

[tonytony]

[Chopper's posture slackens and he swings his arms side to side, grinning and giggling, giddy with the compliment. before he can obfuscate his happiness, though, his train of thought shifts tracks and he blinks.]

—Oh! Yeah!! I'm gonna be the best doctor in the world! My teacher was the best there was!

[life_partners]

Awww, that's great! Good for you, little guy!

[she's... not sure how much she actually believes him, but on the other hand, she's been in Deme for like five months; she's seen way weirder stuff by now.]

We could really use a doctor in Demeleier! We've got people who know healing magic, but... that's not really the same thing.

[tonytony]

Healing magic!? No way! That's so cooooool!

I wish I had something like that... Then I really would be the best!

—Oh, but... why is it insufficient?

[life_partners]

Because, um...

[she taps her cheek thoughtfully]

Because being able to fix stuff with magic doesn't mean you know how or why the actual fixing part works. And that's the most important part of real medicine! Plus, there's plenty of stuff that magic can't do.

[she kneels down to get a better look at him. Oh my god. He's so cute.]

[tonytony]

[he bristles and leans away a little, scowling defensively, side-eyeing her.]

O...oh. Do people get sick a lot?

.... And then Robin scares him away... >.>

[thetruehistorian]

The giant man-eating spiders are kind of cute, once you get used to them!

I wonder if they'll have a taste for reindeer meat...

thx (1/2)

[tonytony]

AAAAAHHHHHH!!

[tonytony]

Don't let me get eaten, Robin!

<3 any time!

[thetruehistorian]

[A quiet snicker, and she opens her arms for Chopper to climb into, if he wants.]

Of course I won't let you get eaten. By fae or by the other villagers.

[tonytony]

O-or giant spiders?

[DUBIOUS OF YOUR OFFERED CUDDLES]

[thetruehistorian]

Or giant spiders. Promise.

[WELL IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM...]

[tonytony]

...Okay.

[fine, you have earned the privilege of Chopper climbing up your arms in a clumsy scramble.]

[thetruehistorian]

[That gets a short giggle, and a warm smile from Robin, as she wraps her arms firmly around Chopper.]

So, when was the last time you saw me, before this?

[tonytony]

Sabaody Archipelago! What about you?

[thetruehistorian]

We were in the New World. [Being beaten by a corporeal fart.]

Have you been able to do much training since Sabaody?

[lordofthesea]

Yeah. It's not bad so long as you have allies. Guess you're another one of Strawhat's?

[tonytony]

I guess that's how it is everywhere...

—Wah! You knew!!

[lordofthesea]

I figured it out. Not sure what he does with a little moose on his crew. [Maybe he's some sort of mascot]

[tonytony]

HEY!! I'M NOT A MOOSE!

[fierybluebird]

It's not so bad, little matey.

And like you said, there's beautiful girls there. You're another zoan?

[tonytony]

Huh?? Hey, th-th-those girls are my friends! I didn't mean anything like—that!

Um—oh. Yeah, I am.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] I know, I'm just kidding, eh. Sorry.

[Offers a handshake, even if hand to hoof.] I'm Marco, first division commander of the Whitebeard pirates. Also a zoan.

1/3

[tonytony]

2/3

[tonytony]

W-W-WHITEBEARD! Whoaaa!!

[tonytony]

And you're a zoan, too!!

[yes, Chopper, very good, just throw back all the information he just gave you]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs softly.]

Aye. You know of the old man? [He says.... like the whole world doesn't know of Whitebeard.]

Want to try guessing which zoan?

Oh and my mun says Happy late birthday!

[mamaterasu]

[Hi, Chopper, have a white wolf whom you may or may not see has red markings and a flaming green mirror on her back. Ammy won't be mad if you do or don't see her real, godly form, but she sure as heck is looking at you funny. And with a tilts head.

....tanuki?]

[tonytony]

I'm not a tanuki!! Reindeer, I'm a reindeer!!

1/2

[mamaterasu]

[HOLY CRAP, ARE YOU ABLE TO READ MY THOUGHTS?!]

2/2

[mamaterasu]

[Eh, whatever, Ammy's thoughts are pretty scattered most of the time and consist mainly of three things: Food, sleep, and boobs. Anything else is just filed right to her short-term memory to be forgotten in a few minutes. Regardless, though, if this thing is a deer, she's going to do what she does to all deer....!




Poof up a bag of tasty greens, grab it in her teeth, and offer it up to Chopper with a wags of her tail. +10 praise, get?]

[followthenose]

Well...I'm not in that particular game because I have to explore far more dangerous areas to the recent infestation of giant carnivorous mole rats but~

I just thought I'd drop in and say

HAPPYYYY BIRTHDAY, CHOPPER! LET'S HAVE THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER! WAHOOO!

[tonytony]

WUHO, USOPP!! THANKS! PARTYYYY, PARTY!!

I forgot it was my birthday!!

[followthenose]

Well it's good you have the great Captain Usopp around to remind you! Of course I'm used to this sort of thing. I was the birthday announcer back at home so everyone counted on me to know when to celebrate.

[tonytony]

Really?! You knew your entire village's birthdays?!

[followthenose]

[There's no better Christmas present than a captive audience. Chopper, you are the gift that keeps on giving]

Of course I do. And every birthday they'd expect me to show up and say:

[Heroic!Manly!pose!]

The Great Captain Usopp wishes you a happy birthday! Now be good and you'll get lots of nice presents! Wo ho ho!
