Date: August 15, evening-- after the new arrivals show up

[Nami wastes no time. As soon as she finds herself back at this familiar place, as soon as she learns who her shinki is, as soon as she has the opportunity, she opens up her device to the BBS and fires it up to record the following message of utmost importance:]


WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!


[So we need answers, are we clear on that? Good. Next items of business! Tone shifts from outraged to worried.]

Zoro, are you still here? You better tell me you’re all right or I'm going to kill you!

Yata, where are you? I’m coming to find you.

Oh, good!

[Good because she's safe.

[The other good thing about it is that while Kija would not hesitate to do anything it might take to save a friend, some things are considerably more difficult to face than others. Armies are one thing. Spiders are quite another.

[Not that their situation is particularly pleasurable without the spiders, of course.]

That, I am afraid, continues entirely unabated. I cannot think how we are to stop it.

[But it's a relief to have Nami back, to know that someone else sees it clearly.]

[plight_of_the_navigator]

I know. To refuse cooperation is to deny help to those in need at no favor to the help we need to offer elsewhere. There's no win.

[justclaws]

If there were only a way to assist that did not involve enslaving others for the sake of a... a sword, or a breastplate or a - a pair of shoes!

[Kija hardly knows how to use a sword, though the sharp end is held away from one. And he has no need for a weapon either, thank you! Not while his own Gods - who are far superior in every way - have already seen fit to bless him.]

Why must we not fight for ourselves? Is that not far more noble an aim?

[plight_of_the_navigator]

I don't think the ones in charge here care a thing about nobility, Kija.
