❦ 30th Record

[iattractmushi]

[A small spot of ink appears before any words do.]

I'll be going with Sniper Usopp to his world. And whatever happens there [pause] I guess we'll see.

Krile - Take care, alright? Maybe we'll meet again sometime.

Hawk - Good luck, and look after that brother of yours.

Castor - If you go home, say hi to Pollux for me.

Everyone else - [Long pause.] I hope you find some way to live your lives, whatever you choose.

Of course we will, Ginko. I want to hear about all the adventures you and Usopp have together, okay?

[iattractmushi]

I'll keep a careful account of them. [Though he personally thinks it might be a very long time before they see each other again, if ever.]

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I will. I don't think I get much choice there.

I'd see you before you go.

[iattractmushi]

Of course. I won't leave before that.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

Good. I hope the sea agrees with you, though if I'd trust anyone to be at home in a new world, it would be you.

[ooc: I started a thread for Hawk in the farewell log if you want to tag Ginko in there? Whenever you can, of course.]

[iattractmushi]

Oh, I'm no stranger to boats. Of course, I've never spent longer than a few days on them, before. But I'll get used to it. [He always does.]

[[ooc: Ok! I'll try to hit it up... soon... ish.]

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

It sounds like you'll have weeks or months rather than days, but that's good to hear all the same.

[iattractmushi]

I'm sure we'll have to stop for supplies some time. I'll probably get to see all the dry land I want.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

Of course.

I won't say "stay safe", but stay alive, my friend.

[iattractmushi]

I'll be happy to promise you that much. [And come hell or high water (and he'll surely see plenty of both where he's headed) he'll keep that promise.]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

His brother promises to look after him in turn.

[iattractmushi]

[A small pause.]

Guess I'll have to trust you won't screw it up too badly, since I won't be around to keep an eye on him.

[Another pause]

That was supposed to be a joke.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I suspected as much. Although I understand the sentiment.

[iattractmushi]

Right. Well.

Be seeing you, if we ever make it back here. [He can't hold a grudge, and who knows if they'll ever be able to come back?]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

When you make it back. We will both be waiting. [Is that Huo being optimistic?]

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

You wait all you like. If they take too long, I plan to go looking. Sniper's told enough outlandish tales of his world to make any man curious.

[iattractmushi]

Just don't get yourselves killed coming after us.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

As long as you do not get killed wherever you wander, and so the cycle continues.

[iattractmushi]

I already promised Hawk I wouldn't.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

You think so little of me, my friend?

[iattractmushi]

No, but I'm told it's a dangerous world. Just be careful.

[He can't help worrying about Hawk's safety over his own--Hawk is one of the few significant bonds he's formed, and he was never very good at worrying over his own well-being.]

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

I may have a reputation for leaping before I think, but I know how to stay alive, believe me.

[iattractmushi]

Right. I trust you do, at that.
