Code - 004 [Audio]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Alright, fellow Caveians. I've got three questions that are in order of decreasing relevance to our current situation as cave-prisoners. In fact the last one isn't relevant at all, just sort of a distraction from the fact that some people still seem a bit sore about losing during that last event.

Hey, nothing wrong with a bear or flowers. 

[Whistler managed to get chocolates so he's not complaining] 

Anyway - First Question: 

How many of you, prior to arriving in this Cave, had a profession that involved being armed or fighting on a regular basis. Now I know a lot of you can be touchy when anyone asks you well...anything... so the level of specifics you give me doesn't matter too much. Even "yes" or "no" will do.  I'll take it as a sign not to ask any follow up questions. 

[He may be a bit done with how 'not fun' a lot of you are] 

Second Question:

How many of you come from a place that is NOT some variation of Earth? 

And my third question: 

If you were told you could have any ONE thing you wanted. No questions asked. No tricks. What would you ask for?

i think you mean it's time to du-du-du-duel!

[puzzlingly]

Hmmm... I don't know why I expected you of all people to have something important in your life.

oh hell I walked right into that one

[hot_mes]

I never said I didn't. But none of them belong here.

it ok, it's like being rickrolled

[puzzlingly]

That's hardly the question, isn't it?

it kind of is...

[hot_mes]

Actually, it is, I just skipped the lengthy explanation about ships being useless without an ocean.

[puzzlingly]

... really, a ship?

[hot_mes]

...why not a ship?

[puzzlingly]

I don't... know. It's cool, I guess.

「 You're a little lonely, my dude... 」

[hot_mes]

[he's a lot lonely, shhhh]

Still, it answers the question, doesn't it?

[puzzlingly]

「 Let's be ronery together. 」

It does. Was it so hard?

[hot_mes]

I still wouldn't ask for it.

[puzzlingly]

There is the lake...

[hot_mes]

I don't think the lake is deep enough for the Polar Tang.

[puzzlingly]

That's her name?

... wait why deep? Don't ships float?

[hot_mes]

[oh, didn't he mention that?]

My ship is a submarine.

[puzzlingly]

「 nope! meanie! 」

... That's cool.

「 Seriously. 」

[hot_mes]

[one thing at a time, Atem]

I suppose it is, a little.

[puzzlingly]

Hah, please, only a little?

[hot_mes]

I didn't get a submarine to be cool. [psh, please] The Grand Line is more than your average rough sea. It's about practicality.

[puzzlingly]

Uh-huh. Rough in what way?

「 He'll bite, he's bored... 」

[hot_mes]

[well, now everyone hanging around their phones will hear it, so...eh. Story time with Pirate Law]

Each island has its own climate. The magnetic pull between them makes for larger storms, more chaotic currents, and unpredictable shifts. That's only the sea itself, not even taking into account the other pirates on the same route and the Marines chasing them.

[puzzlingly]

「 popcorn.gif 」

Marines, huh? Don't they chase you too?

[hot_mes]

Sometimes.

[like it ain't no thang]

[puzzlingly]

Ah, are you not a famous pirate, then? Good for you.

「 He just likes rubbing it on his face. 」

[hot_mes]

[ugh backfired

someday, Atem. You'll get the whole story]

I was a sanctioned warlord for a time so during that time, they couldn't chase me. See? Everything has a longer explanation when you don't take the first answer as given.

[puzzlingly]

Now, now. Are you actually trying to justify yourself, Trafalgar?

「 Lawl, man... 」
