[it takes him more than a minute to piece that together. History? Knowledge of history? Memories. Aha.

After a moment of thinking, Zoro glances toward the closed apartment door.]

I noticed that CERES seems to be able to go right into our memories. If they were the ones that did that, anyway - could be someone or something else.

[it's such a dry, dispassionate assessment, completely hiding his own feelings toward the memories he saw]

[hoasen]

[She nods slowly--] Did it happen to you, Zoro?

[She knew about them being able to dig deep.] It didn't happen to me here, so I am unsure if it is CERES, I know they can if they wanted to. I've experienced something similar before. [Three days of endless mental torture, where they tried to show her deepest fears. It was punishment for trying to steal information secretly with others.]

I would be awful if more groups can go into our minds like this.

[yourotherleft]

Yeah. [NO BIG DEAL just. The only real secret he's kept from his crew, all except for two who were there.] It was pretty rude of 'em to do that.

[but if Vietnam has experienced it before...ugh]

I don't get what the point is. Digging into our memories, making them public? What are they even doing to us? It sure ain't just letting us live a quiet life.

[hoasen]

[She winces on his behalf, getting your mind probed is still awful.] It is, who knows what they can do with such things!

I am unsure as well. Revealing weaknesses...? Though for what reason, especially since they claim to be "helping" us.

[yourotherleft]

It's only a weakness if you let it be. [big talk for somebody who doesn't know what it did to his sword-friends] Memories are just that, it's the past, it's over.

Either way, it's pretty clear CERES isn't here to help. That's enough.

[hoasen]

[YEAH ZORO GOSH.] It is true, as depressing as it is. If anything, the past is meant to teach us for the present.

I am thankful that normally, CERES would leave us alone. It's like...a test.

[yourotherleft]

I don't know about that. We're still trapped in this place, like animals in a zoo. I don't think that's any better than being jerked around in the long run, but.

[shrugs. The more they talk about it, the more it goes around in circles with no solutions]

Someone will figure something out. I just wanna be there when they do. I'm no thinker, I'm better at cutting down the things that the thinkers are too weak to handle.

[hoasen]

[A zoo, that's exactly what this is. And strangely enough it's a similar idea in that they can't survive at all in the jungles where they were free.] You're right. There's still no way for us to get out.

But yes, I will do my best when the time comes. Again, they will need all kinds. [Tiny fist pump!!!] We will do what we can. So first thing will be to go visit our friends.

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, I suppose we've stood out here chatting long enough.

[he grins and then turns to rap on the door. The swords get all the visitors today!]

[hoasen]

[Today is their day!! As soon as Zoro knocks on the door, Vietnam calls out--]

Hello! It's Zoro and Vietnam! We're coming in!

[They visit so often they might as well be residents themselves.]
