[Nami for her own part is content to either stay with her mother or go out exploring with Sanji for the first day or two she's home. It's bitterly cold out there and she doesn't like it much at all-- it's nothing like Cocoyashi-- and her feet are a little red from early barefoot adventures in the snow, but luckily she doesn't catch cold. She's more grounded and less restless than Sanji is, because Bellemere is here. And that means she can let Bellemere take care of things. Because after all, didn't mama say that they wouldn't be here for very long? She misses Nojiko, but if it's only for a little while, then maybe she'll just treat this as a holiday.

Then the second night passes, and Nami turns 10. And everything changes.]




[She's had nightmares before. And the last night was unsettling with the dreams she had, but they weren't bad dreams-- just ones that feel like she's lived a lifetime in one night. Or...one year, as the case may be.

The second night, she wakes up with a wail (muffled brutally by shoving the blanket up to her mouth, because nobody likes a crying human) and tears and her arm hurts but mostly all she can remember right now is Bellemere and the screams when they stepped on her arm and the blood and the way Arlong just shot her down--

die for your pathetic love--

--and everything that followed. And she knows why her arm hurts, but that doesn't make any sense, and Bellemere is right upstairs and Nami just spends the next ten minutes crying into the blanket and not daring to look at her arm. And when she can separate dream from reality just enough, she slides out of bed and doesn't even bother to dress properly, running for the stairs to the next floor in an oversized tshirt that hangs off her arms and going straight for her mama's bedroom.

She eventually falls asleep again and further returning memories distance her from the shock of that death, but none of them are good memories. And now she's confused to boot, because sometimes when she closes her eyes she expects to open them somewhere else entirely. And Nami grows to like the cold, because as long as there's snow outside, it means she's not at Arlong Park, and that means that maybe she can put it all aside as an especially bad nightmare and it didn't really happen. Because it didn't. Because Bellemere is here.

Anyway, distracting herself from darker thoughts is a damn good idea, really. Best to try and not think about it and just...stick with Bellemere a lot today.]

[So in the afternoon, Luceti, there is a little girl staring back at you from the journals. And doing the most awesomely intelligent thing:



[Yeah. Because making faces at you all is really mature. She just wants to see how many people notice her, because damn this magical journal is fun.]

[Action]

[If people want to run into Nami at varying ages, she can be found:

-- At the library on Monday when she is 12, trying to reach that top shelf of navigation books;

-- At Good Spirits on Wednesday when she is 14, trying her luck at being served underage drinks (look, she can hold her liquor okay B|); and

-- Pretty much anywhere on the following Friday when she is 16, because she's smitten with a severe case of wanderlust; a rooftop, a shop, the forest, the battledome...anywhere. Chances are if you run into Nami today, she might attempt to pickpocket you just because she's got the suspicion she's damn good at it. And those ships out at sea hold her attention for a fair while, because...well, wouldn't it be nice to sail one away? These dreams, man. 

For ages 17 and up, well... there'll be another post much later.  Just to avoid confusion.]

No duh I grew. And don't sweat it, I've been drinking since--

[--uh.

The smile freezes on her face a second, because she's not actually sure how to finish that. So confused. ;;]


...I-I just think I would be good at it, that's all. No harm in trying, right?

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-05 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a sad thing your friend here is too much of a goody two-shoes. 8|]

No, but... [She looks at the bartender.] Won't he be suspicious if I order something!? He'll think I'm getting it for you! [Which... she kind of is.]
mikanthief: (ohoho)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-06 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll swear on my honour that it's all yours.

[THIS CLEARLY HELPS.]

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-07 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[...that look. It's like she's trolling her... but is being a rebellious preteen at the SAME TIME.] Are... Are you sure?

[Is she being bossed around by a 14-year-old. :|]
mikanthief: (HAYYY GURL HAYYY)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-07 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Y U P]

Positive! You won't regret it. Please?

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-07 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...

...

Please don't let her regret this.]
Oh-- Fine! Just, uh... go hide somewhere so they don't see us together, okay!?

[YEAH, YEAH, SHE'S NOT REALLY AN OFFICER ANYMORE AND UPHOLDING THE PEACE AND BLAHBLAHBLAH ANYWAY BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FEELS SO... WRONG. ;A;]
mikanthief: (why hello)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-08 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
You got it! I'll see you outside.

[Vwip! Out the door she goes.]

[Except she comes out later with the stupidest look on her face. And a lack of alcohol.]
mikanthief: (Gasp)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-08 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh...? Nami drops back down next to her from the roof of Good Spirits. Ninnnja pirate.] So what happened? Did they know?

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-09 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly.

They... [8|] They thought I was underage!
mikanthief: (Knew I should have bet on that fight)

[JGjhfKJgj] W-What's so funny!?
mikanthief: (I want something.)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-11 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I should have known. You look almost as young as I am. And just as-- [She gestures to her cleavage or lack thereof.] Never mind. But man, that's gotta suck. How old are you?

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-11 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[THAT WILL EARN YOU A HORRIFIED GASP AS SHE MOVES TO COVER HER CHEST IN DEFENSE.] N-Nineteen! [...well, that's a blatant lie. 8| But no need to tell Nami all about it.] Why do you have to bring those in!? Of all the things!!
mikanthief: (ahehe totally innocent)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-11 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, lighten up. [But after a moment, her smile turns an edge more sympathetic.] Ah... touchy subject, huh? I'm sorry.

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-12 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[...blargfjdsk] You could call it that.

[Let's not even get started on how big you're going to get...]
mikanthief: (watcha doin'?)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-13 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, well. [Quick, she must make you feel better!] Look, don't worry! I mean, you've still got a couple years left you can grow, right? Maybe.

[Is this helping? 8D?]

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-14 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[NO.] At my age? Not a chance...
mikanthief: (ahehe totally innocent)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-15 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not like you look bad or anything. I mean, you're still really cute.

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-16 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
But then-- W-What would you think if I wanted to be more than just cute? [Like... Like...!

She doesn't know.

But small breasts = cute? Unsure, man.]
mikanthief: (why hello)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-16 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Like sexy? [She's gotcha covered, man.]

[personal profile] failazure 2012-02-18 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[pfdjkkfgdskjghakj WELL MAYBE NOT THE EXACT WORDING BUT] Something like that!?
mikanthief: (ohoho)

[personal profile] mikanthief 2012-02-21 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
Easy! Gotcha covered. It doesn't matter how big your chest is if you know how to use it right, after all.

[You totally wanted lessons on being sexy from a 16 year old, right.]
