[ oh.


hm. he sure has been dodging and he also knows that he wanted to talk to aoi about the whole "master" thing from trial but uh.... hmm. when he hears that it's a little....

hopefully this doesn't turn back around at him somehow. ]

Someone is asking you to do dishes?

[gamerbrain]

[ she looks at him..... and then away..... ]

Nope.

[nodo]

[ hm?? okay?? ]

Good.

[ uh.... ]

I should have said this back at trial but you shouldn't refer to me by "master". My name is just fine.

[gamerbrain]

Got it!

[nodo]

Good.

[ well.

that was easy enough so i guess he's going to go but just as he tries to get away from her now that he has said his peace, a memory of a lot of interesting characters just doing whatever they please with him comes to play. there's nothing wrong about what's being done in this memory. it's fairly harmless but... just a bunch of very interesting people.

[ wow plot stuff!!! ]

Boop boop... Looks fun...

[nodo]

[ yeah plot stuff!!!!

and because we were given the option of them sharing memories without being aware of it— ]

Looks fun?

[gamerbrain]

Rescuing the giant babies with your friends...!

[nodo]

[ oh. oh he instantly knows who. ]

Those weren't my friends.

[gamerbrain]

But they seemed like they were.

[nodo]

Where did you get that idea?

[gamerbrain]

... You were all standing around and planning together.

[ is that all it takes in her mind?? okay. ]

[nodo]

[ i mean... looks at luffy and frowns. ]

Because we're in an alliance. We're working together.

[gamerbrain]

That's just the plot-excuse to cover for you until you realize you're friends.

[nodo]

[ ???? aoi??? ]

We're not going to be friends.

[gamerbrain]

Got it.

[ does she, though? ]

[nodo]

[ he has. many doubts. ]

...do you?

[gamerbrain]

Mm. You haven't finished your character development yet.

[nodo]

[ STOP. THE META. ]

...that's fine with me.

[ is it though? ]

[gamerbrain]

[ her reading is probably way off base so it's fine! ]

That's something who hasn't finished their character development yet would say.

[nodo]

[ sighs ]

And where are you in your character development?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi is the kind of character you get to know, not the kind of character that changes.

[nodo]

[ npc. if only he knew what an npc was.... ]

You're fine with that?

[gamerbrain]

... Yep.

[ that was a suspicious pause but it's. fine. ]

[nodo]

[ ......

Why were you talking about dishes earlier?
