the first Actual Doctor is a reindeer

[tsundeere]

Who: Chopper (tsundeere)
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Hospitality Deck of the Marsiva!
When: 2/19

[After a tiny hoof smashes onto the starting button of this stationed device, the entire fleet can enjoy a blank footage of the Marsiva's hospitality deck. At least, for a few seconds. Shortly after, there's the tip of a blue, rounded hat and some antlers that show as Chopper jumps up and down to get a better grip.

Between noises of effort, his little voice might be heard.]

Come... on...! I'm almost... THERE! [Somehow, his hooves clamp onto the edge of the thing, and those antlers bring a tough face to follow! Okay, no, he's a tiny reindeer that almost looks like a Tanuki, but details. He's looking very determined as he stares down this camera, at least.]

Can anyone hear me? This is Chopper speaking! [There's no actual snail phones around here, so... Somehow he's able to recognize what this is for. He's not thinking on why for very long.] I don't really know where this place is, but I need to get back to my friends! They could be hurt!

[There's a small, contemplative and mumbley hum as he continues, bringing a hoof to his mouth as he considers.] But I guess any of you could be hurt, too... [That's worrying, all of a sudden. He looks concerned, and then determined, clenching his... hoof?? (how) at the camera.] If you are, don't worry! I'm a doctor, so I can help you out. Just let me know where you are!

[His pounding slows to a stop when Zoro starts his mini-speech, there. He's so cool, Chopper thinks, watching him with focused eyes from where he was. Eventually, he's standing straight and nodding with it.]

I don't want to lose my pride as a man...

[So he'll stay as calm as he can! Agh, but he's worried... He sighs a little, flopping back into a seat on the floor.]

Okay. Then I'm going to wait here until I can get out of here!

[stopbleeding]

That seems like all we can do. When we're together again, we'll figure out a plan. Maybe we can take one of these ships and find the others.

[It's more of an idle thought than a serious plan.

It's a couple minutes before Zoro speaks again.] Hey. Chopper. Do you need any clothes?

[tsundeere]

[Idle or not, it inspires Chopper to wait. And that makes it all the easier to be distracted by clothes.]

Zoro, are you going to go shopping?! Up here, in space?! [What else would he be asking this for, he doesn't know.] It'd be nice to have something I could change into!

[stopbleeding]

Yeah, the moons have shops. I'll see if I can pick you up something. [He almost seems awkward saying it. Maybe it's because of the next question.] You won't need underwear, right? Do you even wear that?

[tsundeere]

[At that, he actually laughs. Really laughs, because the image of Zoro picking up anyone underwear is too much...]

Would you really do that for me?! Zoro, you're too tough for something like that! [Help free him of this image.] I don't need any! I just like wearing clothes.

[It makes him feel more human...]

[stopbleeding]

Wait.

[Oh my god.]

You mean. All this time... you haven't been wearing anything?

[tsundeere]

Hmmm, maybe once or twice, but it doesn't really make a difference when I have fur, you know!

[He is oversharing and he does not care because it was asked for. Putting his arms out, he sways a little even while sitting.]

It's much more free to just wear clothing without anything underneath! You should try it!

[stopbleeding]

[He's about to say that's all gross as shit but-] Free, huh?

[Scratching his chin, he considers it. Maybe it was worth a try.] I don't have fur like you, though. It could feel different.

[tsundeere]

Maybe that would feel even more free!

[He's trying to imagine it, but what's life without fur... He doesn't want to shave it off.]

[stopbleeding]

Hm. You're right. I wonder if I could feel the wind.

[wHAT. AM I. TYPING.]

[tsundeere]

Yeah, the wind! The wind!

[Why is he chanting it, we just don't know.]

I feel like I can move even faster! [There is no logic here]

[stopbleeding]

Really?! Why didn't you tell me that before?

[tsundeere]

I never thought about it!

[He's not a weirdo, please.]

[stopbleeding]

You should've. It could have made me faster in our fights.

[zoro it's not]

[tsundeere]

Maybe now that you've been wearing them all this time, it's like training! When you remove them, you'll be even faster!

[stop them]

[stopbleeding]

[He nods thoughtfully.]

You're right. We'll have to test it when we're down on the moon.

[tsundeere]

Okay! I'll time you before and after!

[This will go great.]

[stopbleeding]

It's a plan, then.
