tapdancinskelly | 1st Song [video]

[Brook has found himself stuck on a flimsy raft out at sea. He can be seen drinking a cup of tea while seemingly having a tea party for himself.]

Well... the accommodations aren't exactly five star, and it's a little leaky, but at least it seems steerable. Not quite as bad as the last vessel I found myself alone on in the middle of nowhere. Yohohoho!

[Brook keeps fiddling with the journal, not really sure how it works.]

I wonder if anyone shall find me? ... Well! No point in sulking about it, when you're feeling down and alone, you should sing!

When you are refined,
And would like to dine,
There's only one beverage that you need,
When you need a drink,
To bring you back from the brink,
It's the greatest thing indeeeeeed!

This is an ode to tea,
The greatest drink in the land!
Tea is great for snack times,
It is so very grand!
Without tea I'd be lost,
Although I think already am!
So here's an ode to tea,
To help me give a damn!

Yohohoho!

[He seems to be taking notes in his journal on the lyrics... that make no sense]

Hmm... I think that last verse still needs a little work.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh. So...you know Marco-san then? And...[She tries to remember all the weirdo pirates she's met...] Luffy-san, right?

Correct! You're quite the knowledgeable one! Luffy happens to be my captain as a matter of fact. And Marco offered to pick me up off of this silly raft.

I've just met both of them.

[Stop trying to flatter her Brook, that'll just get her mad]

So you have a Devil Fruit. Which means you can't swim, right?

[Actually, that one wasn't even intentional.]

Yohohoho! So you're also a relatively new arrival then?

[Well that sounds like a dangerous question to answer, and yet he answers it anyways]

Yup, I sink like a rock. Why, are you thinking of drowning me?

No, I've been here for 6 months. I've known Marco-san since my second day here.

And no, I wouldn't drown you. I like Marco-san, and Luffy-kun seems pretty nice too.

Oh... not so new then.

...

So the only reason you wouldn't drown me is because of my friends? Ouch, that harsh, soooo harsh! Yohohoho!

Do I really look that mean, Skeleton-san?

Well... some people are that harsh. (Like Nami if he asked to see her panties on a bad day) And those were the only reasons you gave me.

Not me. The only reason I'd be mean to you is if you were evil.

Well, I can assure you that I'm not evil. Maybe not the most moral, but I'm certainly not evil.

If...you say so...though there's only one way to prove that.

You like tea, don't you?

Nope, can't stand it. It's vile swill, that only the desperately depraved drink while evilly plotting to take over the world.

[Siiiiip.]

Yes, I like tea. Yohohoho!

Then...when you make it to the village, I'll make you some and you can prove that to me.

[Also, just being there...will let her see if you're evil or not.]

Tea with a cute young lady? How can I refuse? Yohohoho!

Then I'll wait for you.

[And wait she does...]

[And he'll show up a few hours later, after being picked up off his little raft.]

Hellooooo? Rei-san? Are you there?

[Course he doesn't exactly know where there is, so he's been searching all over the town.]

[She didn't specify, but he'll find her sitting beside the fountain, wearing an amused smile.]

Brook-san? Hello there.

Ah! Rei-san! It's good to finally meet in the flesh! Although as a skeleton, I don't have any flesh! Yohohoho!

[And he sits himself down next to her.]

I'm sorry if I didn't bring any other snacks with me for our tea party, but seeing as how I only recently arrived, there wasn't much I could do in that department.

[Before he sits, Rei gives him a dubious once over and decides that he is, in fact, not evil]

Its fine, Brook-san. Are you hungry? Can you even eat and drink?

Yohohoho! Of course I can eat and drink! How else would I stay alive?

[Other than you know... infernal magics from cursed fruit?]

What do we have?

Right...

[She blinks and stands, gesturing for Brook to follow.]

If you'd like, I've got it at my shrine.

[If he's really evil, then passing the wards will be impossible.]

A... shrine you say?

[Well now he really did feel guilty about asking to see a holy woman's panties. He thought she'd merely been bluffing to make him feel bad before. Of course that pause in his words, could be mistaken at hesitation to going into a place with holy wards. However, he is still following her to said shrine.]

Did you build it here yourself?

Yes, a shrine.

[She stands up and starts walking that way, beckoning for him to follow. Boy, she REALLY wants to test him now, the nervousness in his voice catching her ear]

I had help. A guild called Brave Vesperia helped work on it.

What if I might ask is a Vesperia?

[He seems to be searching through his pockets for something now, as if he's misplaced something. However, upon not finding what he was looking for, he merely shrugs and keeps following her.]

I...don't know. Its something from Yuri-san's world. He named his guild after that.

[She just keeps going, eventually leading him to Tsukino Shrine. Brook shouldn't have problems with the Wards, not being evil and all, merely strange]
