[This is not what she had planned. Most certainly not. When Perona told Kuma where she wanted to go, she made it very clear that a dark, desolate castle would be the ideal place, not the middle of a frozen lake. Or, really, a half frozen lake. Not only that, but somehow she got booted so hard it...knocked her clothes off? Or something. There had to be some explanation for the flimsy piece of white cloth she was wearing instead of her usual ensemble. Oh, that big brute is going to pay for this.

...Once she gets to safety.

;A;]

This isn’t where I wanted to go to at all! What part of this place even remotely resembles where I told that horrible giant I wanted to go to?! I-I’m going to die here! I’ll really die! [Perona whimpers, laying herself flat on her pitiful ice slab, creeping as far as she could along the cold, icy surface. She lets out a blood-curdling scream when her whole arm submerges on a patch of thin ice, and scrambles to a thicker, sturdier spot, curling up onto herself. She hasn't yet noticed the journal recording her, nor the wings. There are other pressing matters to focus on.]

Waaah, Bearsy! Help me! Someone, please, help me! I don’t want to die for real this time! I don’t want to die! Bearsy! [She whimpers again, sniffling as well.] I-If it wasn’t for those stupid Straw Hats and that dumb Long-Nose, none of this would have happened! I would have never had to leave Thriller Bark, and I wouldn’t be stuck here, either! WHY AM I HERE?! AND WHERE AM I TO BEGIN WITH?! I WANT TO GO BACK TO THRILLER BARK!

Someone please help... [Uuuuu. ;~;]

[OOC: Kinda-sorta placeholder until tomorrow after class. I'll tag around for a bit, but then bed after that. /o/ Tags will resume tomorrow!]

[There's a bit of a pause, then, and Perona hums quietly to herself. A friend of the Straw Hats. She can't exactly just come out and say that she's their enemy, even if she'll...probably find out sooner rather than later. Alas.]

...I m-met them. On my captain's ship.

Oh, I see. Who's your captain? [She may or may not have heard a little about this through Nami's letters, but for the moment, Perona is ringing no bells.]

[This is getting into dangerous territory now. This girl may be trying to be polite, but an ally of Straw Hat...hrm. Best to try and play it private. Even though the others don't interest her, if she says anything to upset someone stronger than her...she doesn't have the protection of her alliance to a Royal Shichibukai anymore.]

...No one, anymore. I tried to escape Thriller Bark, but I ran into that tyrant and he threw me off! I-I don't even know how, but when I woke up, I was here!

[Oh, Thriller Bark. She's heard...some about that. Mostly that it's where the crew acquired Brook. Long story short, this pings nothing too suspicious for her.]

Tyrant? [Knowing what she does of Luceti, she doubts whoever Perona is talking about had anything to do with her arriving here, but a little more information can't hurt.]

One of the Royal Shichibukai...Bartholomew Kuma. [There's a slight growl as she mutters the name, and Perona looks away, glaring into no particular direction.] I don't know how he did it, or why he was even on Thriller Bark, but I just saw his hand coming at me...a-and then I woke up here! I was doing nothing wrong!

[Except for attacking him and trying to give him to Moria as a parting gift before leaving, but Perona clearly does not see things in a logical sense. Obviously Kuma is at fault for daring to retaliate.]

[Aha. Well, she knows about Kuma, and his role in separating her nakama, so she's instantly sympathetic Perona's gone through the same thing.] I'm sorry, Perona-san.

Though...he's not the one who sent you here.

[Instantly, Perona's anger disappears, replaced by confusion and deep suspicion. What is she talking about? Who else could have sent her here?! It's not like she just goes flying off randomly to who knows where and puts herself in danger for fun or anything! Goodness. If the Straw Hats didn't decimate the entire place, and wanted to destroy her, she never would have had any reason to try and escape in the first place! Then she wouldn't have had to run into Kuma!]

Don't mess with me! I saw it happen with my own eyes; who else could it have been if not Kuma?! He was the one who sent me flying here!

He certainly sent you somewhere, back home. But Luceti is somewhere else entirely. A completely different world, and people are taken from countless other worlds as well. I was asleep in my bed back home, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up on the beach here.

[She's not sure if she's doing a very good job of explaining this, so she pauses to see if Perona gets it.]

[Wait. Another world? Everyone she's been talking to has been saying the same thing - but it honestly just sounded way too impossible to believe! How can she possibly have been sent to a whole other world?! Do these...these Malnosso people really have that kind of power?! And...and if so, then everything else she's been hearing is true, too?!]

N-No way...how do I get back?! I'm not going to just stay here and be someone's fool! I refuse to allow it! [Experimentation...no way. That beastly Absalom may have thought it was a good idea, but no way is Perona letting someone mess with her body.] I have to get back! I have to get back to where I belong!

Most of us here feel the same way, but...I'm sorry, but there isn't a way back. [Oops, that sounds more permanent than she meant it to.] At least, not that we have any control over. People go home, but we have no influence on when it happens.

[She looks apologetic.] Sorry.

That's... [Terrible. It can't be. It can't possibly be so! She was the Ghost Princess - she could overpower anyone, pass through anything! And even that Straw hat boy and his crew, too? Two of Whitebeard's--who, or what, are the people that have them all held captive here?!]

That just can't be... W-Will I still get my things? My clothes, my treasures, all that I asked for before? I need to have something! [A servant, a friend, someone from Thriller bark, anything accomodating!]

Oh! You may be able to find some of your things in the village--clothes and some personal items, most likely. [Hopefully that helps a little?]

Mmmh...that's good. I don't like this tiny, flimsy thing I have. [She tugs lazily at one of the straps of the white sundress, giving it a look of disdain.] I want my old clothes as soon as possible. But I have to wait until I'm picked up...and it's taking so long.

[Pout!]

[Aww, poor girl.]

How long have you been waiting? I'm sure Nami-san is on her way!

Mmrr...I don't know. it's not like I can tell time with just a--eh? ...Duck?

[And the camera suddenly goes black as Perona's journal is pressed to her chest. Muffled snippets of this little freak out can be heard before a glass-shattering scream echoes through the poor journal's audio.

Guess who just got rescued! 8Da]

[It's easy enough to guess what happened. Relieved Perona's been rescued, Vivi shuts her journal.]
