Late afternoon, 8/17

[the mirror turns on to show Lydia, sprawled out on a bunk bed, holding her mirror up above her at arm's length, because how do you do selfies?]

Hi, everyone. We've found Dreamfinder, he's tired, but he's safe with us. How is everyone else holding up? Are you okay?

No, they did! Nami and Robin, and he'll probably find a few more. But I'm sure they just stayed in the women's side. Bath parties were more common when it was just the three of us, me, Lu, and Sabo, and I'd like to think Lu grew out of it, but... [Laughs!] I'm sure he hasn't. Usopp and Chopper would probably go in for the bath parties. Zoro too. Sanji might just be glad they're not being so filthy. Sanji's the chef, and Zoro's the swordsman, so Zoro get dirty quickest and Sanji's got the most reason to stay clean.

... You guys all have such neat names. Where I come from, a chopper is another name for a motorcycle.

[ace_of_hearts]

His full name is Tony Tony Chopper! I think he was named that because he can chop down trees with his antlers. He's a reindeer.

I know there's a marine with a smoke motorcycle, like how my skiff is powered by fire, but I don't know what he calls it. My skiff is the Striker.

[strangeandunusual]

A reindeer! Huh.

[and she thought Fenton was odd.]

So do we want the purple dragon party to he a surprise? Or no?

[ace_of_hearts]

Nah! I already told her she has to come or we can't have it without her.

[strangeandunusual]

That's one way to tell her it's in her honor. ... Okay. I'll see if Sylvando wants to help, he likes parties. And we can ask the bakery to make a purple dragon cake!

[ace_of_hearts]

Yes!

Ohhhhh gods awesome, make two. I want one all for myself. I'll pretend it's a real dragon and eat it in one gulp.

[strangeandunusual]

[she giggles. ACE. WHY.]

They make practice cakes sometimes, for taste testing. If I have them do that, you can have that one!

[ace_of_hearts]

Yay!!!

Oh and uh, peanutbutter candy. Mal likes candy and her friend Jay was a big fan of them in whatever a limo is.

[strangeandunusual]

Everyone likes candy, that's easy. But thanks for letting me know about the peanut butter! And a limo is a big, fancy car that's usually only for rich people. I've been in one a couple of times. They're not as big a deal as everyone thinks they are. It's just a really long car with room to stretch your legs out.
