One of the good things about being in THE main base, Marineford, was that there was a surprising amount of cafes and other amenities that have sprung up around it run by retired Marines or reservists in order to help feed and house the population around the base. It was doubly pertinent given Marineford’s status as an island in the Grand Line and Marines being unable to go around as much as civilians and criminals could – sometimes the small things headed off things like dissent before it even started. It was to the point were the base even had a town (uncreatively named Marineford Town) to house the families of Marines if they so chose to stay here. [break][break]
The town itself was nice – one of the nicer ones in Paradise, even. How could it not be given the regular flow of jobs and money and some of the best law enforcement inside and outside the seas. Crime was almost nonexistent –only absolute morons or the truly daring would try to commit crimes in the heart of Absolute Justice and the Marine Corps- and there was an abundance of the basic necessities and equipment due to the thriving community in the town, as well as things to do. [break][break]
Why, he had decided to take a day off from overseeing his men in order to just relax and grab a cup of tea ‘round one of the better shops instead of having to go off to find a bar for good booze. Man, it’s been so long since he had a properly-brewed cup of tea after they ran out of the good tea leaves aboard the ship, and he was looking forward to getting some. [break][break]
Upon getting to the tea shop though, he was surprised to see a familiar face amongst the crowd. ”Hey, Kitai? Is that you?” He said with a relaxed wave as he walked over to her table. ”Didn’t think you were a fan of tea.” [break][break]

[attr="class","hiraeth"]愛肉欲信夢 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Her mind was off chasing the ignorant bliss that was meditation. The noise surrounded her, but she did not let it enter her mind and distract her. It had taken just over a year to learn to meditate in the middle of a crowd. The Marines gave her little time to meditate, so she had to learn to do so whenever possible. At home all she would have had was singing birds and rustling leaves - those that truthfully only made a peaceful environment compaired to the hustle of the middle of a tea shop in Marineford. Any other person might have just thought she was crazy - sitting alone, her hands nestled around the tea cup and her eyes closed as if she were sleeping. These times, mixed with the sweet and thick scents that only tea had, created a different atmosphere. She could feel the energy of people moving around her; fast paced. Everyone here had somewhere to go. It was unfortunate that more did not stop to enjoy the journey more often.. Her eyes did not open immediately at the sound of her name. She recognized his voice alone; Brother Zernebog. Her eyebrows raised as she allowed herself to breathe out, letting this session end. She opened her eyes and smiled as they focused on the man. "Ah; it's more a habit. The elders from my tribe would make tea when they told stories in the evening. Though I cannot say that theirs was as sweet or savory as most I've had since." She examined him and motioned to an empty chair across the other side of the little table. He didn't seem to be in a big hurry. Normally captains and admirals and, well, everyone, really, was flustered and had a small range of view when it came to hurrying to get their work done so they could get the the leisure part of their day. "Join me, if you wish." |

A habit, huh? Zernebog could understand that. With the hectic life of a Marine, it was the small things that honestly kept them sane. Combine that with sailors in general being a naturally-superstitious lot -Could you really blame them with how fickle and dangerous the seas were, and even more so in the Grand Line where even the weather and the magnetic poles are fucked up?- and it was common to see quirky habits amongst Marines. Hers didn’t even ping his weird meter at all considering some of the shit he’d seen over his years of service – it was actually surprisingly mundane, if nothing else. [break][break]
Since he was actually here to relax and wasn’t in any hurry for once, he nodded and took a seat across from the white haired woman. ”Sure. Thank you.” He then glanced over at the table and saw that there wasn’t any books he could see, making him tilt his head. ”You said that the elders in your tribe made tea while telling stories, so I thought maybe you were having tea and reading a book to remind you of home or something. There’s no book though, so were you just trying to relax in here?” He asked curiously. [break][break]
Right as he mentioned that though, a server went over to their table with a menu in her hands. “Sir, are you going to order something?” He asked as he offered him the menu. [break][break]
”Ah yes, thank you." He took the offered menu and gave it a quick scan before looking up and offering the menu back. ”Assam tea will do, thank you." [break][break]
“Alright sir. Your order will be here in a bit.” The server took the menu back and bowed before walking off to the kitchen. [break][break]
He then looked back over at Kitai once the server was gone. ”So, yeah, were you just relaxing or something?” [break][break]

[attr="class","hiraeth"]愛肉欲信夢 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Kitai's hands cupped the teacup and brought the porcelain to her lips for a short sip. It was still warm - another magical feature of this shop. No matter how long she seemed to sit, the tea seemed to always be warm. Her eyes turned up toward Zernebog as he spoke, listening closely. She smiled. "The stories told by the elders of my tribe are never written, only spoken. We've never valued materials. The stories start the lesson of respect - the children would have to listen and remember, or they may never hear the story again." Her eyes closed and she leaned back in her chair a little. "When we remember the stories, they're more than words that can be written on a page. It's.." - she paused, searching for the right words - "togetherness. The entire tribe listened, even when they had heard the stories before. Those who had learned the stories well would dance to them; sort of like actors in a play."It was nothing like actors in a play. The elders would entertain even without music; their voices booming over the tribe to strike fear into their hearts when their hero or heroine was being stalked, softness with courting, and every emotion in between. You couldn't put a voice into a book; you can only remember it and remember the way your body sweated and shook with anticipation and wonder. "There are some things that cannot be recorded," she explained. The woman re-positioned herself - leaned so that she could slip one leg under the other as she sat. She leaned back even more, removing her hands from cupping her tea, full attention on Zernebog. "Relaxing.. is not the right word for it. Have you ever meditated, Brother?" Even meditation took some effort. Thoughts and sounds and distractions existed everywhere, and so the mind had to work to create a wall against those distractions. "It is a tool to a calm mind body, and spirit so that one may co-exist with the other." She hesitated; rarely had she found many she spoke with like this to be understanding or even interested in what she said. So, she waited to see if her words would fall on topic of conversation or deaf ears. |

The detailed descriptions and insight into tribal life that Kitai was giving Zernebog made him perk up in interest. That must’ve been nice, having that kind of solidarity in a community formed through listening to stories told and passed on only through word of mouth. Maybe communities today would be closer if they did that kind of thing still. He was a little bit surprised it wasn’t sung or something though – the most-enduring tales tend to be those sung because it was easier to remember the words when there was a rhythm and a beat associated with them. However, spoken word also held great power when used well – actors and bards could attest to that – and the written word couldn’t convey emotion and intent as well as the spoken word ever could. He didn’t mention that though and nodded for her to continue on. [break][break]
And he wasn’t disappointed when she then moved on to his other question. Meditation? His eyebrows rose, impressed that she could even think of meditating in a place like this – bustling and crowded with people in the middle of the day, with the sun shining and a certain vibrancy in the air. Still, he supposed the smell of the shop somewhat helped with meditation, unlike that say of a bar or a club. [break][break]
”Meditation, huh? You do seem like the type, albeit this isn’t exactly an ideal place to do such a thing.” He observed as he looked around the place. ”I do actually meditate though. I originally got into it to help with my temper –it used to be much worse than it is now before I started, you see, but that’s a story for another time- and with stress management but eventually I also started using it to help focus on my powers. Mine require more than most, especially given the nature of what I’m dealing with and how it isn’t like the other elements.” [break][break]
He then paused once more in order to receive the cup, saucer and kettle from the server who had come back with his order. He thanked her with a polite nod before beginning to pour the tea into the cup. Ahh… that smelled so good. He took the cup once he was done pouring and took a few long sips from it before looking back to Kitai. [break][break]

[attr="class","hiraeth"]愛肉欲信夢 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Kitai listened, only sipping her tea here and there at a pause. Stress and anger were two things that consumed the most; both filled up the body until one eventually burst in either a fit of rage or a mental breakdown. Neither were healthy for one's body or mind. But, she had come to find that some were just.. cursed with either or both. Born with it, it seemed. They had to take extra precautions in dealing with it. Those who understood that at a young age were wise beyond their years. A polite nod and smile with his first question; this was an interesting bit of information - that his devil fruit powers required that he not hold any calamity. She knew very little about devil fruits other than that they did give those who ate them mystical powers over nature. She couldn't be sure if anyone in her tribe knew about them either; their legends never mentioned fruits with powers, although she supposed it was not entirely deniable that their gods could have been mimicking the powers of a devil fruit, or been born into them by Mother at some point in time. Her head tilted to the side. Some devil fruits required more focus than others? How did that work? Were they not all fruits that did the same level of power, just in different ways? "It does," she said. "It was difficult learning to meditate in a new place to different sounds. With time it became easier until it's as if there are no distractions at all. That's really all I did to get used to meditating in places like this."She took another sip of her own tea. Maybe it would be too direct to ask about his devil fruit, but she was curious about them; how they worked. "Your devil fruit.. I've been curious about it. How does it work exactly? There wasn't anything like them at my tribe." Supposedly, at least. Most things were shared between everyone on the tribe, and a fruit that looked strange and gave the consumer powers would have never gone unnoticed. |

Time and effort, huh? So that meant that she got used enough to the background noise to be able to meditate – clearly the signs of someone adapting to their environment over time. More notable than usual given her tribal background, where the forests and the area in general must’ve been far quieter than a military ship or the bustling cities of civilization, especially a huge hub like Marineford. [break][break]
”I see. Perhaps you could give me some tips on that some time – it sounds like a handy skill.” He remarked with a small nod. [break][break]
Then as he took another long sip of his tea, she segued into asking him about… his devil fruit? Well, he supposed he couldn’t fault her for that – his devil fruit powers were rarer and stranger than the norm. It wasn’t every day that one encountered a logia, and his particular powers were not common at all period despite the sheer abundance of light—the one element more abundant than the very air or water. [break][break]
”Really? No one had a devil fruit in your tribe? Interesting. Alright, I’ll explain.” He inclined his head and nodded as he began, putting down his tea cup onto the table. ”Devil fruits are essentially kind of like a devil’s bargain – you gain power that depends on the variety of fruit and in turn you can never swim again and the likes of seastone weakens you… and also the taste is absolutely horrendous. It’s why it’s important for devil fruit users who go about the seas always be with a good swimmer. I’ve heard that some Fishfolk have even made a living saving drowning devil fruit users.” [break][break]
He paused for a moment before he continued. ”Mine in particular is a logia. Logias are a type of devil fruit that allow the user to control, create, and eventually even become an element. Understandably, those types of devil fruits are rare compared to the other two types and are eclipsed only by one type in rarity, but that’s a topic for another day.” [break][break]
He picked up his tea cup and took another sip before moving onto the topic. ”My element is light. You’ve seen me use it many times before, though I usually stick to the creation side of things. Light in itself is a curious element – matter and energy, present yet normally intangible. The nature of it is such that I’ve actually had to consult books and scientists to better understand how it worked when I first got it, as well as start to exercise my mind in order to better be able to bend light to my will and not just let it do as it would normally do. For example…." [break][break]
He opened his palm and a beautiful pure gold lotus flower appeared on it, stunningly intricate in detail to the point where it was lifelike despite being one solid color. ”Light in our surroundings normally won’t do this naturally, but by enforcing my will on it I can shape it into what I want. My element is very flexible that way. Come on, touch it." [break][break]

[attr="class","hiraeth"]愛肉欲信夢 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Kitai nodded at his response. "I always thought my home island was a good size; there were still many places I did not know about, but one could walk to the far side and back in two, three days' time; more than large enough to care for many forms of life. I am not sure where these fruits grow or are found, but when matched with many of the lands I've found when I left, my home island was much smaller." A smaller island made for a smaller chance at gaining anything as special and as rare as a devil fruit. Wheels spun in her head as the man spoke. She consumed each word, adding it to the little knowledge she had of devil fruits, which mainly consisted that devil fruits gave people abilities beyond that of a normal human, and some practical exposure of watching what Zernebog could do. The rest was speculation. However, not being able to swim seemed... a very dire situation to be in. Her head tilted to one side slightly as she waited for a pause to politely slip in her question. "How can one lose the ability to swim?" It seemed odd that someone would physically become unable to swim, even if they had been a strong swimmer. If that was how these devil fruits behaved, then why would someone be foolish enough to eat it on purpose? Of course, Kitai had had little actual experience on the sea. The majority of her trips by water was mostly calm streams on canoe, not a giant ship in rolling waves. One of those waves seemed heavy enough to crush a person and take them deeper than she could imagine. Maybe, in the ocean, drowning was already enough of a threat that few cared if they could swim or not. She nodded as he continued, talking about logias and his fruit in particular. "You mean like the sun's light?" It was hard to think that someone could control an element - no, that was like controlling Mother Earth herself. It sounded unnatural to try to control a part of Mother Earth - even if for but a moment. Her eyes widened when he opened his palm and a bright golden flower flowed there. It looked nearly solid, but Kitai could just barely make out his fingers underneath the folds of light, almost like seeing something through a lick of flame. She breathed in wonder and awe, stunned at just how realistic the flower seemed to be. A glance at him as he told her to touch it. She gently placed her teacup out of the path of her arms, leaned forward and drew her hands around the flower, cupping them slightly. Her hands certainly felt the warmth coming from the flower; like little rays of the sun, but she knew that they were not under the sun. "You do not need to borrow the light from the sun? Or from a fire?" |

At Kitai’s first response, he nodded and shrugged. [break][break]
”The size of an island isn’t really an indicator – devil fruits can grow anywhere above land in the entire world. There’s also the fact that these same fruits do return to the earth back into circulation after the previous consumer has died, usually in an area near where said consumer died. Those parts are common knowledge in the Grand Line for those who know about devil fruits and have decent access to information.” [break][break]
It was good to see her thinking to the point where she vouched the one question that probably every single devil fruit user in history –recorded and not- had asked. ”Ingesting the fruit makes the sea reject you and your body reject… well, the spirit of the sea, in exchange for power. The water weakens us and makes us lose the powers that we were given if they hadn’t permanently altered our bodies when we’re immersed in it after a certain point, though it is much more evident in stagnant bodies of water. And when it does weaken us, it does so to the point where it is very difficult to move, thus we lose the ability to swim. No one quite knows the mechanics or the reasoning behind the phenomenon, but it’s terribly inconvenient for all involved. As it is, think tanks in the Marines and in other places are trying to think of ways around it so that assets like devil fruit users can actually function even in water.” [break][break]
He then inclined his head. ”And you’re probably thinking why would it be worth it if that’s what happens to you when you eat it? and it would be a perfectly valid question. It’s just a simple case of benefits outweighing the price, especially with the more useful powers. If they didn’t, then there would be much less devil fruit users in the world.” He shrugged once again, taking the time to take another sip of his tea before continuing. ”It’s certainly why devil fruit users tend to at least have non-devil fruit users in their crew if they sail the seas.” [break][break]
He paused for a moment before he continued and addressed the last thing she asked, eyes turning thoughtful as he placed the flower in her palm. The flower didn’t dissipate and simply stayed there, glowing with a warmth akin to the sun. ”And yes. Like the light of the sun, of the flickering flames, of lightning… name a kind of light and I can probably produce it. Not borrow it though – that is something that’s very tricky for Logias. It requires a fine amount of control and practice to be able to use one’s ambient element in the environment and manipulate it to one’s whims – I’ve only ever heard of such things in records and never seen one in person.” [break][break]
He paused to rest his throat for a bit before he continued.”Given that, focus is absolutely essential in making steps toward to such things. Meditation helps." He offered her a curious expression. ”You seem to be better at it though, perhaps you could teach me a thing or two?

[attr="class","hiraeth"]愛肉欲信夢 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Kitai held the flower with a certain gentleness, keen on not dropping or breaking it if that were to happen, but also closing in a finger to watch how the soft shadows reacted on the back of her fingers and the table, and to keep testing that it was warm. It wasn't a wavering light - there seemed to be no fluctuations in the consistency of the light, even as he handed it off to her - he did not need to touch it to control it or keep it up, it would seem. But it still was not a solid object. She felt like she was holding a tiny fire or sun in her hands. Her eyes remained on the flower, moving it this way and that, but she was able to split her concentration on testing and toying with the flower and understanding what Zernebog was telling her. "I understand.. The history I know of never directly spoke of a 'fruit of powers' with anything that you are explaining.. Few of us ever left; I think mainly because we did not have large ships or visitors to teach us to make them.." Really, they never had a reason to wish to leave, and anyone who did would not have the opportunity to do so safely. "There were many areas of the island that many were not familiar with, so there might still be one of these fruits there that no one, or very few, was ever aware of."Her eyes focused on him for a moment. She did wonder why, indeed, someone would take on a fruit that did not allow them to swim, but Mother Earth was fair and honest - it was not unusual for her to give without also taking. Unnatural powers well beyond what a normal human could do seemed like a fair trade off for more easily losing one's life to something such as drowning. "This sounds fair." Powers and abilities seemed flashy enough, but if they still required someone to fetch them if too much water surrounded, then it seemed a foolish choice to make. "Hm.. Strange.. and there are others like yours?" Even if it might be a foolish way to live, it did not mean Kitai would not respect the powers and learn as much as she could of them so that she might protect herself and others from them if the need ever arose. If there were destructive elements such as fire, then that would certainly require protections. Which begged the next question, "Does this light power seem like an equal trade to you, even if you fell into water?" Light was.. light and warmth - nothing enough to be a destructive force. His usage of light that she remembered of seemed this way; it was helpful, but he still needed his training to be of much use in a battle. Light was not a strong physical force. "I cannot teach you a thing about meditating. Each meditates in their own way; Mother is the only one who can truly teach you to meditate. I am no better than you, I only listen to Mother as she speaks to me - that is my meditation. And Mother is always speaking to every one of her children." Kitai smiled at the man. "For now I do what they would ask of me, but a more permanent post has not been among those." |

Few of them could leave the island? And even more, many areas of their island went unexplored? That was… typical for tribes, actually. Most wouldn’t have the innovation or sheer manpower to build the bigger boats or build sturdy enough smaller boats while having the knowledge to navigate the Grand Line. It wasn’t like the rest of the seas, after all – the Grand Line was fucked up in so many ways that it actually gave more than one student a headache –including him- when the Marines were having their navigator courses. [break][break]
”Understandable. Maybe there IS a fruit on your island or maybe not. Only exploration would be really able to tell. Though, I don’t really recommend your island go into large ship-building. It eats up a lot of resources like wood and would require you to have a large mining operation, which while profitable would also break that valuing nature vibe your people have going on.” He answered with a thoughtful frown. [break][break]
Upon her then noting that the trade-off of the powers they gained was fair, he simply inclined his head in a nod. Logically, it was fair even though a lot of people tend to gripe about it. Especially with logias – after all, the pay-off of being able to turn into an element was worth more than what he’d lost, which unfortunately included enjoying baths and swimming in beaches or swimming pools. [break][break]
Then she followed it up with those questions and he nodded empathetically. ”Yes and yes. For the first, I believe a guy called Sebastion Nolan in the Marines has the magma logia, just not quite sure where he’s based. Water 7, I think. Does sound more intimidating than mine, doesn’t it?” He chuckled at that. ”But yes, I believe that it was definitely worth it. My powers just require more creativity to use. You’d be surprised at what light can really do if you care to look into it. But that’s true about a lot of things, now isn’t it?” [break][break]
He then took another long pull from his tea cup as she then moved the conversation along, explaining that she couldn’t really teach him how to meditate and that only Mother could, with that Mother presumably being that Mother Nature she referred to time and time again. Damn. That was a pity – he could always have used more instruction in the art of meditation, but he supposed he would have to do with books and the saying of his old teachers for the moment. [break][break]
However, hearing her say that she wasn’t assigned anywhere yet did make him perk up. ”Alright. I suppose I’ll just nature work its course on that end. On that last note though… I’ve actually been looking for a couple recruits for a squad I’ve been thinking of forming.” He sipped at his tea again before continuing. ”We worked together well back in Alabasta and I could use someone with your sharp eyes on my team. I would like to extend my invitation for you to come onto my crew, but you’re free to decline if you wish. You already know how I operate so you can evaluate your options with those in mind if you wish. [break][break]

[attr="class","hiraeth"]愛肉欲信夢 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Kitai nodded. They certainly wouldn't have enough resources to build one ship. And the peaceful life they had on the island meant that they never had to leave. Sure, the volcano on it was active, but it was far enough away that little tremors and such didn't effect them too much. But if it were to actually blow... it could be a problem. "Yes, there may be one on the island. I've no idea what it could be though, if it's ever even been found before.." She smiled. It wasn't be a good idea for them to look for it. Power like that.. would it finally be the one thing that her brethren would fight over? And if it did stay near where the last person who'd eaten it had died, then it might just be on that little island until someone else with the fruit finally left. What a vicious cycle that would be. Sebastion Nolan.. She would have to look him up later and see what he could do. "Perhaps.. It only means you may have a harder time, as you have said - use your abilities more wisely than others." Kitai knew what it was like. She was not expertly strong nor fast as some, but she did not typically meet someone who could match her in ranged weapon skill. His own abilities seemed unusual as well. Not in a bad way, only.. less obvious. "Skill can be admired just as well as brute strength." Kitai felt the conversation moving on, so she closed the flower and watched as it fizzled this way and that a little before dispersing. Her hand covered and lifted her teacup to her lips again, emptying the cup. "We did. People like you seem few and rare in this world.. perhaps we would make a good party." He made choices for the better - even when the situation was far from in his favor. He believed in the goodness from what she could tell. It was hard to find anyone who could be counted on for that. Some would rather stab their friends in the back than be fair and good to them. He didn't seem the type if he would rise up against a higher rank. Sad, really, that rebellion was a crime against a corrupt system. "If you will care for me, then I will care for you." Kitai shot him a smile and leaned forward, offering him an extended arm. |

Use his skill more wisely than the others? To be more skill than brute force? He simply nodded at that – he already knew that he had to be smarter about it if he wanted to be really able to bring out his abilities to their fullest potential, or else he’d be stuck as the confused and exasperated guy he had been when he had first eaten the fruit and it had truly sunk in which Logia he had eaten when he had started manifesting the powers. Not a fun time, that. [break][break]
Of all the things he expected for her to begin her response with, he wasn’t quite expecting her to go with that of all things, especially with those choice of words. Admission that they did make a good thing was one thing –that was just the facts- but her pointing out that people like him in the world were rare? He blinked in surprise at that even though he knew very well that scumbags and jackasses were far more populous in the world, even in the Marines despite how distasteful it was to admit such a thing. He himself was still kind of a jerk, but he still had principles and his head screwed on straight and he supposed now that he thought about it that was already an improvement over a majority of the pirate infestation that littered the seas. [break][break]
Still, the choice was easy. After all, he cared for his friends and after the events in Alabasta she was most definitely a friend. [break][break]
”I already do. What are friends, for, after all?” He remarked with a light laugh as he leaned forward with a grin of his own and took the offered arm, recognizing the gesture for the forearm shake that it was and returned it in kind. ”And now comrades as well. Welcome to the crew, Sister Kitai.” He added warmly as he let go, using her tribe’s form of address for this once for emphasis and to really seal the deal. [break][break]
