[If there is one thing that's meant to be a little obvious, it's that reindeer and hot weather do not go together. After gaining a bit more extra information on Death City and how this world works, Chopper decided it'd be a good idea to check out this morning training thing he'd been told about, hoping it'd give him a bit of extra assistance (and some free breakfast).

But, even though he knew it'd be hot, he hadn't wanted it to be thit hot (106? Seriously?!). So needless to say, most of his time is spent underneath the shade of a tree, flopped out on the floor and trying his best to stay as cool as possible. Desert cities are the worst.]

[It was a reindeer. A tiny reindeer. And he looked all pooped out. Kanji hadn't initially meant to stop and stare when he spotted the little guy, but there were just some habits you couldn't stop.

He looked down at the bottle of water in his hand, meant for himself, and back. Can't imagine something that usually lived so far north would have a good time here. Poor thing. That was why he wandered right up, sunk into a crouch and twisted off the cap. The bottle was set in the grass left to a little hoof.]

O-oi. Y'a'right?

[It was hard to pay attention to much of anything while Chopper lay there in the shade, incapable of escaping that muggy heat hanging in the air, and even when he heard someone apparently stop near him he couldn't even look up. He heard the words but couldn't lift his head, mumbling miserably in return.]

It's sooo hooot...

[But in order to not be rude, Chopper opened his eyes eventually and looked over at the strange person, then saw something near his hand that looked like a bottle of... water...]

WATER!

[And in a split second, just like that, Chopper sat up and snatched up the water bottle with no questions and started guzzling it down. What are manners? He's a pirate, they don't need manners.]

[He nearly started when the reindeer sprung up and started drinking. Guess the little guy was thirsty.]

H-holy crap, it talks!

[First the little rainbow-haired horse, now this!]

[He almost empties the bottle before Chopper finally stops, setting it down on the ground and letting out a big relieved sigh before looking up at whoever was talking to him.]

Yeah, I talk. [Said very straightforwardly. But that's not the most important thing here.]

--ah! I-I'm sorry! Is this your water?! I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to just take it! But I was really thirsty and it was right there, and... I'm sorry!

The hell're you apologizin' for? I put it there for ya in the first place!

Ya looked like the sun was turnin' you into a reindeer puddle.

Oh--! [Chopper quickly calms down, looking at the bottle in his hooves before looking up at this rather intimidating guy... then just offers a sheepish but thankful smile.]

Thank you then! That was really nice of you! I was trying to look for a place to get water but it was so hot that I just sat here to cool down, then I didn't want to leave.

Yeah, well, you're in a desert now, so you're gonna have to deal with this kinda shit for the next few months until it cools off a bit.

All that fur must keep you really warm, so it ain't like y'gotta just take off your jacket or somethin' to beat the heat, yeah?

[A beat.]

...C-can I touch it?

[A heavy sigh at that. Almost makes Chopper want to stay in his shady spot forever. Boo to you, heat.]

I guess so... I've been in a desert before for a long time, so it's not like I've never been through this before, but it's still a pain. I'm not meant for hot temperatures, only the cold. That's what my fur is best for, and I definitely can't take it off.

[Chopper pauses, blinking at Kanji in confusion. What an odd request.] Touch it? You mean my fur? ...um, okay?

[...Someone said okay. Someone said okay. Kanji stopped himself from having his hands shoot out and frightening the poor thing, so he had to keep himself in check as he reached out and ruffled up the reindeer a bit.]

Everybody gets so damn indignant about it- ya met Rainbow Dash yet? Small blue pegasus, rainbow hair? She got all huffy when I asked. Got a bit of an ego on her.

[B-but she was still adorable.]

[Only squirming just a little at the weird petting, Chopper was almost about to ask what the big deal was about touching his fur before he replied back in excitement, almost unable to stay in his spot.]

There's a pegasus here?! Really?! I haven't met her, but I really want to now! [But he calmed down eventually, remembering what the original topic was.]

Oh, maybe she just didn't like it? Animals that talk don't always wanna be petted. Maybe because it makes them feel like pets? Just because I'm small and I'm a reindeer doesn't mean I'm a pet. I'm a doctor you know! And a pirate too!

She talked like she was some big-name celebrity or somethin'. I wasn't gonna treat her like a pet or nothin'! I mean, my cat really digs ear rubs, so they can't really be that bad, right?

[A brief furrow of a brow.]

How's a little guy like you get signed up as a pirate?

[Chopper just tilts his head curiously.] I don't think they're that bad, but all animals are different. Maybe she just thinks she's really cool because she's a pegasus and doesn't need to be treated like that.

[Doesn't make him want to meet her any less of course. The last pegasus he saw wasn't really that impressive...]

I joined a crew, that's how! Luffy's the name of my captain, and he asked me to join, so I said yes!

S-so ya sailed on ships and all that cool stuff? [He couldn't help sounding a bit eager. He was talking to the cutest pirate.]

What about treasure? Loot? You guys do that whole thing?

[Definitely the cutest pirate he'll ever meet.]

Yeah! My crew has a really big and awesome ship! It's called the Thousand Sunny! We sail around everywhere on it. We've been in the sky and even under the water! And we've found lots of treasure! That's part of what it's like to be a pirate.

[Just... don't tell him about Merry.]

Well yeah, but I ain't heard of a ship that can turn into a submarine or an airship, neither. Did it have a really flashy tokusatsu-style transformation?

[We do not mention that name ever again..... but his bitty lips are sealed.]

Yeah!! Sunny's really awesome! Our ship can't really transform, but it has a cannon, and it can blast off into the sky! It's sooo cool!

Shit, your world's piracy's pretty damn cool! Where the hell do I sign up?

Maybe I should make a crew...

You don't need to sign up for anything! Anyone can be a pirate! Having a crew is really fun! If you can make one, you should! You'd need a ship though, and I don't think there's an ocean around here.. are there shipwrights at least?

Oh yeah, we're in the middle of a desert right now... [As if realizing this just now, rubbing his chin.]

Dunno what shipwright means, but I doubt we got one around here. ...Oh, but there's this mirror up in the Death Room in Shibusen that can take you anywhere! I mean, I take it to go on missions all the time and it beats takin' planes and everything. Maybe it could be taken to the coast to the west, do some sailing there... there'd be some ships out there without owners, yeah?

A shipwright is a person that builds ships. My crew has one. He helped make the ship we have right now, and whenever we need to fix things or make improvements, he takes care of that too!

[Chopper tilts his head at the new information.] A mirror that... lets you travel to other places?

That's so cooooool~!!

I wanna go! I wanna go through the mirror!

It's seriously cool! Y'wanna go see it, I can show ya after Morning Training lets out for the day!

You'll really take me?! Oooh, I wanna go! Th-thank you so much! I haven't been here that long, but I miss the ocean already!
