Nah, towards the end. And trust me, this shit made more sense in context.

[Nami doesn't mind. To softer woofing doesn't startle her and she begins given Mrs. O'Leary a curious sniff before meowing in reply... and then immediately wobbling onwards to explore more of the cabin since SOMEONE didn't let her before!!]

I've only had her three... maybe four weeks at this point?

[Nodding to the dog]

What about her? She a gift, or she from your world?

[hydrogenetic]

[Mrs. O'Leary follows. Off the animals go!!]

Huh. I'm gonna take your word for it. [But he doesn't seem too fussed as he watches the animals explore.] Mrs. O'Leary was given to me by somebody back home. She's kinda gone through some changes in these games but I'm gonna guess that's because of the no-powers rule these places seem to have.

[concasse]

... So she had powers, eh?

[Rubbing at his chin]

Y'know, I wonder if Nami has the human intelligence I gifted her with. Kinda hard to tell since she's still a baby, but I wouldn't be surprised if that got wiped outta her system because of whatever stupid rules these games are run on.

[hydrogenetic]

She's usually bigger than this cabin and can travel through shadows. [No big deal. But he gives Sanji a questioning look.] Did you teach her how to talk or something?

[concasse]

-- Well damn.

[That's impressive.]

Uh -- well, more like I used magic ink to turn her into a super tiger... sorta.

[hydrogenetic]

I was with you up until magic ink. What ink? What was it supposed to do?

[concasse]

The ink me and everyone at the castle got as a reward for solving a dispute between a tiger and a dragon.

[The fact that I typed that I realized, yeah, that's exactly what happened--]

And when I say ink, think of... of the magic that brings fairy tales to life, or just the power to control your own destiny. We use that ink to bring everyone who had died back to life, and the leftover shit was for whatever we wanted to use it on.

[hydrogenetic]

So kind of a deus ex machina. [He seems weirdly chill about that.] That's one way of making sure your friends would come back in the end. I haven't heard a ton about the castle, but it doesn't surprise me that it was all because two people couldn't solve their own problems.

And...you used your remaining ink on the tiger. [...Sanji's valid though, if the little grin is any indication.]

[concasse]

Oi, there was still some other ink I could use!

[...]

...

But what kind of asshole just leaves a baby tiger to fend for herself in a castle? Of course I used it on her.

[Yeah, he's That Kind of guy.]

[hydrogenetic]

[He holds up his hands in a placating gesture. Don't shoot, man.]

Hey, I'm just saying. Not everyone would do something like that. [...but good to know. Sanji has gained +1 respect from Percy.]

[concasse]

Well they're missing out --

Because my little Nami-chwan is the sweetest creature in existence~!!

[Said tiger who turns her head at the sound of Sanji's voice jumping five octaves but uh, she's getting into mischief, so she goes back to ignoring him]

I'm just glad I'll get a chance to bring her home once all this bullshit is settled.

[hydrogenetic]

Oh yeah? [Mrs. O'Leary's busy sniffing around the belongings of the cabin.] And what's home going to be like for you guys?

[concasse]

A lotta sea, a lotta ocean.

[Making a gesture at himself]

I'm a pirate.

[hydrogenetic]

Oh. [He looks a little surprised, but otherwise fairly calm about that.] Cool. I've never heard of a cat liking that much water, but you must have a pretty big ship then.

[Tell him about One Piece.]

[concasse]

[Oh god we'd be here for the next ten years.]

Oh yeah, Sunny's pretty huge as far as ships go -- maybe not the biggest but it's plenty big for me and my crew. Nami'll fit in fine.

[hydrogenetic]

Let's hope we get out of here soon then so you guys can get back.
