[Fourth Wall]

[mikangirl]

[Yeahhh, you know what, this is also way too deja vu for Nami's liking.  After one wary trip through town where she side-eyes all these new people milling around, she'll just take off for the orchard.

...whenever she gets the chance to, anyway. 

Pity when she gets to the orchard there will be droids dropping in to say hi.  Best timing ever?]

It happens every other day. [And Olivier might note she is not putting the weapon down, looking somewhere between nervous and irritated. What a lousy day all up.] As for the scientists, if you're really lucky they'll call you on the journals. But...as you're like the sixth person I've run into without wings, I wouldn't worry about it. I think you'll be home again by the end of the day.

[queenofbriggs]

So those wings aren't just for display. [...]

You suspect there are more in hiding? [refering to the fact she didn't put her weapon away and still seem on edge.]

[mikangirl]

They've never failed on a kidnapping. Not once. If you came across only one, there's more on the way. Probably enough to overwhelm you, too.

...you might want to leave.

[queenofbriggs]

[Olivier simply rests her hand on the hilt of her sword.]

Sorry, but staying is the only option. I'll be leaving anyway if what you said before is true.

[So what's a little kidnapping? Maybe she can kick some of these scientist around for ever messing with her.]

[mikangirl]

But they're not after you! Save yourself the trouble!

[...did she just hear the sound of distant heavy footsteps?]

[queenofbriggs]

Your point? What kind of military officer do you take me for?

[Oh goody, play time's about to start.] Besides, I might get the answers I need from staying.

[mikangirl]

[Oh. Military. Well, Nami drops the argument then.]

Your funeral. [Yup, she was right. Here they come - six of them. Hey, they used to just send two; clearly she's going up in the world.] In which case, thanks for the help.

[Even if she knows it'll be futile.]

[queenofbriggs]

[Her blade is drawn.]

It'll be their funeral when I'm through with them. I won't bow down to such mindless machines that easily.

[Say what you want Nami, the people of Briggs fort are a tough, stubborn folk]
