Game 027 [Voice] - Remind Me Before I Forget it All

[neverplaysfair]

[ It's early in the morning when the audio clicks on, just about the time when the earliest risers will be waking up. Joshua isn't going to be going to bed any time soon, though, so he'll be responding well into the day. ]

Call me curious. What do you dream of?

[ His tone of voice is level, more bored than curious with just a hint of weariness. ]

[justicereigns]

Nah. Loguetown pissed me off. I always felt caged up there. Not enough space to roam, not enough strong enemies to fight.

[neverplaysfair]

Then what do you think is the reason you're dreaming of that?

[justicereigns]

Well a lot of the dreams are about sailing too.

[neverplaysfair]

Back in your home world?

[justicereigns]

Not enough ocean here.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you miss that?

[justicereigns]

Yeah, a bit. The reason I hated Loguetown was feeling cooped up and now I am here all over again. I'm not in any rush to go back because my prey's here, but it's almost a moot point.

[neverplaysfair]

"Prey"?

[justicereigns]

Correct.

[neverplaysfair]

What sort of prey?

[justicereigns]

He's a pirate that got helped to escape by the most wanted man in the world.

[neverplaysfair]

Ah. And you're trying to capture him, now.

[justicereigns]

I am. Although it's a moot point here, so I'm more or less keeping my eye on him and figuring out a trap and any useful information for when we get sent back.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you ever dream about that?

[justicereigns]

... No.

[Seems strangely startled by this revelation.]

[neverplaysfair]

Do you enjoy pursuing him?

[justicereigns]

I guess so. It's more like something I'm going to do no matter what. Like or dislike doesn't factor in.

[neverplaysfair]

Does it feel like an obligation, then?

[justicereigns]

A little, yes.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you dream about any of your obligations?

[justicereigns]

Yes. Often enough I suppose.

[neverplaysfair]

Interesting that you don't dream about him, then. Any ideas why?

[justicereigns]

He's not King yet. So if I dream about the Pirate King it's usually Gold Roger.

[neverplaysfair]

... Pirate King. [ There is confusion in this statement. ]

[justicereigns]

[Sighs.] That's why I chase him.
