Hey. I don't think I need to introduce myself (I'm one of the famous swordsmen in the world, so why should I? And I think most of you already know how I am. At least according to Luffy). All you need to know is that I'm only here because Luffy is here and he convinced me to make an account. You can ask anything and I'll answer honestly.

-Last but not least- if you want to do a crossover and I'm not familiar with the fandom your canon muse/oc is from, you'll have to explain the fandom to me. Sure, Zoro will be confused/won't believe your muse at first, but I need to understand what I'm reading.
🥔: means ooc. Mod is @potingus573 . My pronouns are she/her and am 19. I edited it cuz I succeeded to turn those images into dividers in picsart . This blog is based on opla Zoro (I also like the anime, but am more fond of opla).
OOC: @zoro-r and @veniria we can keep the thread going here!
"There could've been another one." Misty responded as she kept digging. Probably should have looked harder. Too late now, she doomed herself to using the small shovel.
Misty pondered what Zoro said, momentarily flinching at the idea but shaking her head. "True, but maybe he was out here a while, but not in a dead way."
It took her a while before she was finished. Or not too long, but it wouldn't have been as long if she had a better shovel.
"Maybe he was", was all he said in return before he put the skeleton there. He wondered how the spirit of the skeleton would feel after watching two strangers burying his body, as someone should've done a long time ago.
Misty started to shovel the dirt back in. She then realized she could probably just use her hands to shove it back in. Faster that way. Maybe a little less respectful though? She was trying to be careful as she talked to Zoro while doing the process. "Hope he's not mad at being moved."
"The spirits..?" Misty questioned at first. She then processed what Zoro said and thought about it more. Oh, the other girls. "Yeah, let's go." She nodded as she dusted her hands off in the air a bit. If she could make her clothes last a little in the wilderness, that would be good, so she was avoiding rubbing her hands on herself for now.
Misty moves to sit next to Mari and motioned for Zoro to sit with her. She listened as the girls talked about inviting in a French spirit. Why specifically French? Regardless, Shauna was blindfolded and seemingly the one this spirit would communicate through with the swinging pendulum thing.
Misty waited for it to be her turn, making sure not to look at Lottie as she addressed the "spirit" or rather Shauna. "Does my crush like me back..?"
When the sign essentially made the motion of yes, she couldn't help but grin.
He watched the weird ritual. That bored him and weirded him out at the same time. This was the type of thing that the straw hats did when they were really bored and had nothing to do, except they didn't speak in a weird language, unlike those girls and the spirit.
He gave Misty a little smile, after Misty got her answer about her crush. But it disappeared as quickly as it came during the next question.
Misty also frowned at Javi's question. She really did hope they wouldn't die here. Stay a little longer than expected? Sure if it meant she could show off her skills. But that didn't mean she wanted to live here forever.
She looked at Zoro after Javi's question and mouthed out "I hope not."
He listened to the boy's question and thought about it. Nobody knew when they'd be rescued, and that was the supposedly scariest part. As much as he hated to admit, he wanted to know how long he would stay in this unfamiliar place and how long he would stay away from his friends. He wondered how they were doing right now. Were they looking for him? Did they continue their routine, despite him being gone?
He could see Misty being worried as well. He wasn't one to sugarcoat things, but he wished he knew when they'd get out as well. Or even just like the kid asked, if all of them would get out alive, which he wished it'd happen.
"Depends on how soon someone will get us out", he mouthed back.
Pretty soon, Lottie was acting... strange. Shauna was trying to talk to her and Misty looked at Zoro, fear in her face as she got closer to try and see what was up with Lottie. All that came out of her mouth though was... French? It sounded like French at least. But Misty had only taken Spanish, she didn't know what was being said!
He was confused. The girl spoke in a language he couldn't understand, looking as if she was possessed by a demon, which was likely in this situation. He heard of a way to exorcize souls, but he wasn't sure about one thing.
He saw Misty being scared of whatever the fuck happened right now. He wasn't the best at reassuring others, but he had to try to stop this.
Girls surrounded Lottie as the unfamiliar dialect left her lips, the foreign words slurring together lazily. It was known that Lottie had never been good at French. Or, at least, she was always distracted during class.
The girl rose from her cross-legged sitting position on the floor. Turning to the window, she followed the beckoning screeches that assaulted her ears. The wooden floorboards creaked beneath her dirty sneakers.
Then, a smash. It was so quick, it was like it barely happened. Lottie’s head collided with the window, shattering the glass into tiny, sharp fragments. The blood began rushing from the deep indent in her forehead immediately, giving nobody a chance to think.
It was sudden. He didn't get an answer from Misty, but he did hear the sound that the girl's head caused, as it collided with the window. Her head needed to be checked. It could be bleeding for all he knew.
He stayed calm despite his surroundings, as he turned his head towards Misty again.
Headcanon:Zoro having a fond memory of his parents marking his height on their home when he was a toddler. And as the years go by, he grows taller and he sees the mark but there is no one left in home to mark his height now.
"The place we're at right now is called the deck. The cool thing on the mast", he pointed upwards, "is the crow's nest, where we do our night watches, to see if someone's about to attack us". Then he pointed with the same finger at the cartoonish goat head of the ship. "Luffy sleeps here a lot", he said, before turning back. He folded his hands.
'And that little room here is the kitchen", he said before going downstairs. "Follow me".
「 Phos looks up as Zoro explains more about everything regarding the ship. The mention of night watch and lookout reminds them of the gems jobs of patrol duty and… 」
‘…Cinnabar…’
‘…’
「 They come back to their senses once he called out to them again, to follow. 」
He didn't said anything until they stood in front of the bathroom.
"That's the bathroom. The storage is above the women's bedroom", he told them. "The nearest bedroom is the women's. They're on the left. The men's is further, on the same direction and the cannon stand is above the men's room. They're basically on the deck but I forgot to show them to you".
「 It was the first thought that Phos had in their mineral mind. They weren’t build for combat, due to their own fragility and low hardness of a 3.5 . It’s how they got stuck with their job making that dumb encyclopedia… 」
「 So maybe they have a chance to finally learn…? 」
"Not only for battles. Just training in general, to upgrade my skills", he answered while climbing up the stairs. After that, he went to his usual training corner and started to do his warm-ups.
The question surprised him, but of course, he didn't show that. He knew he was a good fighter, but that wasn't enough for him, as he wanted to best Mihawk.
"Sure", he said. "Start stretching first and move your joints in circles. You need to warm up before training. I'll go to the galley. I'll try to find something that's suitable for begginners".
