[It’s been a long few days since the Kin’corrans went “home”; Mia doesn’t remember most of them. Since the 31st she’s been, for the most part, sound asleep in the battledome clinic, trying to recover from…well, everything. Dealing with the fire didn’t help, leaving her spent and dehydrated and coughing. The time she’s spent awake, though, convinced her that things in the village were getting back to normal.

So her first mission of the day, after waking and sorting herself out, is to find something to do that will alleviate this boredom and, just perhaps, help make her case for just going home to lie about there instead.]

I know it has been very difficult and busy in the village just recently. Given the date, it will only stay busy. If it is at all possible, though, I would ask a small favor: would anyone be willing to bring a few books from the library to the battle dome clinic? I promise to return them at the first opportunity. …Once I’m done with them, that is.

While I am thinking about it…well, I would not mind a little company either. I want to hear that everyone is all right.

[Missing out on more than a day always leaves her too disoriented for her liking.]

[[ooc: We interrupt the delicious intro train to bring you If you work in the clinic and would like to have that argument about going home, step right up! She's a patient woman.]]

[anxiousgrace]

This is true. I hope people are improved by the experience.

[voice]

[frost_jewel]

That's very considerate of you, but if I'm awake and bored, then I want you to stay as long as you feel like, all right?

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[After telling him to come in, Mia offers a sheepish smile.]

Of course we can. We're hardly invulnerable. Though sometimes I think we all wish we were.

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

I am afraid you have lost me again. Airplane?

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

Oh! I haven't heard anyone talk about love quite like that before. Did he write it for a special someone?

[frost_jewel]

So...you are looking for only a single piece of treasure, that used to be important to a pirate, but even he can't remember where he buried it. Or what it is.

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

Hmm, I believe to put it properly, I had something of a rough week. I am much better now, thank you.

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

[Grune. And pie. She had her fair share of that pie earlier.]

Fine, thank you. When did you get here?

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

I would never offer at a time when I wasn't feeling my best. I promise.

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

[How to explain...?]

It's a type of craft that flies through the air. It has enough power to keep its altitude instead of falling back to the ground.

[action]

[idealism]

Don't we all. It's good to be reminded of how patients feel sometimes, though.

[He lifts the pie up for her approval, grinning.] Surprise!

[Action]

[childofthefullmoon]

I believe he did, yes! I did read that he had a wife, and I'm certain she may have been his inspiration for many of his love poems.

[She sighs a little dreamily.]

It would be wonderful to experience that kind of love.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I think it was just a little while ago.

[Or was it?]

[Action]

[accepted]

All right, as long as you're sure since you're promising and everything. [...] I'll look forward to it!

[deathsdoctor]

Oh, Gol D. Roger didn't forget. [The tone a shade darker.] He died before he could say. Or, more accurately, was executed. The World Government has been trying to stop everyone ever since from looking.

They're terrified of it being found.

[frost_jewel]

[You know, part of her wonders if Law isn't telling a dramatic story for entertainment purposes.]

Do they know what it is? If it is that important to your world, one would think they would want to find it first.

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

So will I. Oh! And it will be cold, so you should bring a coat with you.

[action]

[frost_jewel]

Oh my, you really did bring a whole pie. I do not have anything to cut it with, but I can give you directions to the little kitchen.

[Don't worry, this is approval.]

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

[Thankfully she knows Grune well enough to be able to guess at whether that's true. Mia sits up and tries to re-orient herself, rubbing an eye and frowning.]

I hope it hasn't been too long.

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

Yes it would. I'm sure you will someday.

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

Oh! So it's like the ship, but without an outside source of...energy.

[Flying on a ship is, somehow, not news.]

[Action]

[childofthefullmoon]

Yes, perhaps one day. I'm certain you will as well, Mia.

[Estelle doesn't really know a lot about Mia but she seems like a very good and kind person.]

[Action]

[frost_jewel]

[Well she must find something because she ends up having two kids.]

We need to finish restoring the world first.

[action]

[idealism]

[Yay, approval!] I think I remember where it is! I worked here for a week or so, ages ago.

Do you want a big piece or a small?

[deathsdoctor]

[Law hmmms.] The ones who rule the world, the Gorosei, know. They've been around pretty much forever.

And I'm sure they've tried. Though it's easier for them to block everyone else and have One Piece stay lost. Safer for them too. They don't want to take a chance that the thing could knock them out of power.
