voice; un: CAPTAIN

[nishishi]

[There's a lot of negative stuff happening on this planet, and it's not at all the same sort of friendly heartfelt journey that travelling on Zeta-12 had been. And while Luffy doesn't hate being here, it's definitely putting him in a mood for better things.

And while he's not the type to complain about an adventure, he'll just do the next best thing. Which is simple enough for the pirate captain, and for any who might listen into the short, sweet, and to-the-point voice message.]

I wanna' know about the coolest adventure you've ever gone on. Or just the coolest thing you've ever seen.

[He's quickly learning that there are thousands of worlds and places he'll never be--so naturally...
He wants to know about them. So why not share a story or two.]


((feel free to threadjack/talk amongst yourselves in this thread, too--even if Luffy will reply to every story told here himself.))

[......................this is so incredibly shounen





.....................]

Yeah, I guess so. And as long as you're with your friends and you're having fun, that's all that matters right?

[he kind of gets it? maybe??]

[nishishi]

[I'm sorry for your life Aang. Really, I am. He's grinning like a maniac when the other confirms exactly how he feels--and he nods.]

That's right. It doesn't really matter where you go and how long it takes. So long as you're with your nakama, any journey is a good one.

[twinkle_toes]

[ah.]

—"Na-kah-mah"?

[it's clear from his pronunciation he has no idea what he's talking about.]

[nishishi]

Nakama!

The family that you choose.

[His shoulders hunch up.]

They're people who are important to you like family--but you don't gotta' be related to them.

[twinkle_toes]

The family that I choose.... [aang repeats this to himself, giving it a moment of serious thought before he brightens again.] So you mean like Toph and Zuko and Katara and Sokka, right?

[who even are these people, when will he learn to explain anything.]

[nishishi]

Are those your crewmates? [He has no idea who those people are, no way--but they sound like they could be a crew.]

Because if they're your precious companions, then yep--they're your Nakama!

[twinkle_toes]

[crew? luffy please, not everyone is a pirate around these parts.]

Nope, they're my best friends!

[also nakama, apparently. what a good word, he thinks he's going to use it all the time now. thanks for this important life lesson, luffy. but, ah, speaking of friends—]

I'm Aang! What's your name?

[nishishi]

Your best friends! I hope some of them are here with you!

[Even if they aren't, making new friends is definitely something Luffy's all about. He leans in a bit.]

I'm Monkey D Luffy--the future King of the Pirates!

[twinkle_toes]

[wait, hang on—]

"Monkey"? What kind of name is that?

[nishishi]

It's my name! [Did you expect him to get insulted?]

My dad's name is Dragon, and grandpa's name is Garp.

Maybe weird names just run in the family?

[Casually admits he knows it's weird.]

[twinkle_toes]

[better than most people, tbh]

Whoaaaa, Dragon? No way! [that's so cool, HE'S SO JEALOUS] Did he actually know dragons?
