Wrapping Paper
Robin~chan! Thank-you for the necklace! Just got it in the mail finally! <3
But I really have to ask. Crocodile wrapping paper? Why? Isn't that a little... strange? Cute though:

And I have no idea what to do with the erasers. Even if they're cute too:

If you're trying to send a message, it's unecessary. I got it. Jeez.
Also between this and Father's Day it got me wondering. There's thousands of types of wrapping paper with some strange, sometimes cute designs. Anyone have a favorite? Do you guys just use whatever's cheap/handy or get something personal for the person it's for, or personal coming from you?

She was only 21 when I came to this time; they thought me dead. She was strong and willing to see the truth when I refused to.
I am told that she led a long life despite the war that tore us all apart.

War?

The truth of why Norland and his men cut down our sacred trees. It is a long story.
Four hundred years ago, a war broke out when half our island was sent into the Sky Islands. The Skypieans invaded our homeland and took it in the name of their god.

Oh. Hn. Well... if you wish to tell it, I'm already listening. ^_^
I see. ... Skypieans... sounds familiar... God? Eneru?

My people were suffering from a disease known as Tree Fever; we thought it to be a curse brought on us by our angry gods. It killed hundreds of our men, women, and children before Norland arrived on our shores.
We were about to perform a ritualistic sacrifice of a maiden's blood to the gods when he struck down Kashigami, our god, and demanded it be stopped.
He was able to heal our people of this illness, but the problem with Tree Fever is that it affects plants as well as people. In order to completely heal us, he had to cut down every plant, every tree, that was infected.
He cut down a grove of trees sacred to us; our legends say that when the Golden Bell is rang, it brings the spirits of our ancestors back to the island, and they were to reside in these white trees.
We were not aware of this when it happened; so great was my anger that I would have killed Norland if I had seen him! But only Muse, strong and wise as she was, went to him to learn the truth.
Eneru? Hrm. I know the name; he was defeated by Luffy? A false god?
I do not know if he was the god from four hundred years ago.
no subject
Hm. I see. As for Eneru. Perhaps, perhaps not. Sanji did say he was defeated by Luffy though, yes.

The 'god' I battled was a large man with a beard. He smoked a cigar.
no subject
Hmn. Strange. Not long ears? But then I guess it was 400 years ago so it wouldn't be the same.
no subject
Not long ears. Long ears?
no subject
Yeah... let me see if my camera actually caught anything. Mm-hm. God:
That still sends shivers down my spine.
no subject
By saving our village, Norland was able to spare her life as well.
Fujiko, I ordered my daughter to take her own life. It was...the most horrible thing I have ever done.
...
As for god, no, that is not the god I faced.
no subject
Hn. I don't know what to tell you. I never knew my father and when I thought I found him, he... if he was my father, never replied and didn't stand up for me when I was framed and kicked out of the police force. But... she did live and you seem to have learned a great deal from it.
Oh.

Hey um... let's say I was going hunting after Crocodile... Any tips?
no subject
Make sure he cannot escape, and attack from afar.
no subject
I don't stand a chance. And I'm more worried about him coming here that's why the sub but still...no subject
