Subject: Thinking about home

On May 5th of this year, it was my brother's 19th birthday. Or at least that's what I think it should be, if he were here.

I was lucky to encounter someone from his crew here, where I got to hear about his adventures in our world. But this person left and I couldn't hear all I wanted to know.

Lately I've been thinking about home again. I hadn't done so in a while because I actually really like this place! but I wonder how everyone back home is doing, you know?

What I'm saying is that I don't know what to do? Should I tell everyone how amazing my brother is? Should I talk more about my friends and crew back home? Or should I just keep trying to live in the moment?

I'm conflicted beyond belief.

( They all sound really unique.... And Frisk isn't judging for any strange sort of weird description. They sound like they'd be fun to meet, after all. )

Is your crew magic?

[donfire]

Nope! but a lot of us ate something called a devil fruit, which grants people special powers!

[stilljustyou]

It's a magic fruit?

Did you eat one?

[donfire]

I guess it does count as a magic fruit!

And yes, I ate the fire one! I am a fire man.

[stilljustyou]

A fire man...?

Like this?

( Frisk draws a picture of a monster that they're very much familiar with. )

[donfire]

That's a cute drawing but no! More like...



like this! Its me, but on fire!

[stilljustyou]

Wow.

Are you always on fire like that? I bet you're really warm.

[donfire]

Not always, since I can control it now, but when I was younger I would just burst into flames randomly!

And yup! I'm pretty warm all the time, which is great in winter but sucks in summer.

[stilljustyou]

If you can control it now, does that mean you know how to stay especially warm in winter?

Maybe the magic here can help you when it gets hotter.

[donfire]

Yup! I can also melt snow really fast!

And it does help, but my body is pretty hot all the time.

[stilljustyou]

I bet you could start a big fire for others when it gets really cold, too.

The picture that I drew was of Grillsby. I don't know if he's hot like that, too. Some monsters can start fires that aren't even all that hot.

[donfire]

Yeah I could!

That was a monster? It looked really cute!

[stilljustyou]

( Frisk takes a moment to attach another drawn picture to their next message. )

Uh huh. I got to have a big adventure in a place full of monsters.

Like -- one that looked like this. He's my friend.

[donfire]

They look super cute!

and monsters can be cool to adventure with!

[stilljustyou]

Yeah -- really cool.

Did you get to travel with monsters, too?

[donfire]

Yes! They were all in the water and I'm a pirate, so they were always around our ship.
