☠ 1st Haunt ☠ - [Voice | Action]
[Waking up in a forest is definitely not a common occurrence for Perona. She remembers being in Sabaody, moping bidding that green-haired imbecile goodbye once and for all. For a moment, Perona thinks she's been blindsided by auctioneers, and sits up straight, hands flying to her neck, thankfully finding nothing there. She heaves a huge sigh of relief, and actually begins to look around her.]
...This isn't-- [Fluttering, and an all too familiar aching on her back clue the young woman in, and her teeth grind together as she reaches back gingerly and feels feathers.] Mmhhrm...it would by my luck to be brought back, wouldn't it? Now where is that stupid boo--Bearsy! They didn't take you awa--eh? Oh, there it is! You were holding my journal for me like a good boy.
[And finally, after removing her journal from the back zipper pouch of her stuffed teddy, Perona's face comes into the journal camera's viewfinder, looking rather unimpressed.] Oi, I've come back. Can someone tell me the date, and who's still here that I may know? You Straw Hat people, too, check in as soon as possible if you're still here! And anyone else from the grand Line, for that matter.
[Though Perona's not going to be too talkative right away. She snaps her journal shut and sends out a hollow scout up into the air, to scour the area from above. Seeing through its eyes, she heads toward the direction of the plaza, grumbling as she goes. Why did she have to come back here?! She was finally home! So...s-so what if she was alone there now, at least she was on the sea, and she had a ship, and she was safe, and--]
I wonder if he's...mm.
[When she does finally get to the clothing shop and into her clothes (after a lot of searching and hissing at how her hat could have gotten crushed under a mountain of other clothes), Perona exits the store and snaps opens her parasol. That should help keep the sun off her now, not that it'd do much good now after all that walking and floating she did. Stupid Luceti.]
How annoying, being back here again... My room had better still be unoccupied.

You're Shanks! Re-Red Hair Shanks, one of the four Yonkou...
[ video ]
Just Shanks is fine, really. But you have me at a disadvantage! I don't know your name.
[ video ]
Perona. My name is Perona...Shanks... [HNNN--] ...sama.

[ video ]
[She kind of liked it that way, really, but hey, maybe this can be an opportunity to make a very powerful ally.]
[ video ]
but he'll let her do what she feels okay with. ]
No plans to explore the New World?
[ video ]
No. I have neither the crew nor the resources to do so anymore. [And she just doesn't care much for it.] ...Even if I wanted to.
[ video ]
That's a shame. The New World is one hell of a place.
[ video ]
[Because she won't. No matter who asks how how hard they ask. Moria got pummeled in the New World, and he's a shichibukai, and had an entire crew and such. She's just one person, and no where near even his level. She'll be killed withing seconds, which is a big no-no.]
[ video ]
[ only someone like him would think the new world is the best place on earth. but it's full of adventure and fond memories and he's already been to raftel once, what does he care about danger? ]
[ video ]
[On the less dangerous
HAHAhalf of the Grand Line. It's at least familiar territory, and not filled with crazy strong opponents who would chew her up and spit her out without a moment's hesitation. Not to mention all you yonkou are traversing dem waters.]But if I'm fortunate enough to join a strong crew that I like later on, maybe I'll journey to the New World. In your honor, Shanks-sama.
[ video ]
I'm honored. But if you do it, you should do it for yourself. Have some fun with it.
[ video ]
Whatever happens happens. I'm here now, so any plans I make will be irrelevant until I return. And even then I'll forget. [Perona sighs. She forgot everything when she got back, yup. It really was like time stood still. But anyway, enough about her.] When did you arrive, Shanks-sama? I don't remember you being here when I was.
