[At 17, Nami will be out and about per usual, though not trying out her newly discovered thieving ways.  She learned all she needed to the day before (a year ago), and by now she knows enough of what's going on.  Her mood isn't the best for a variety of reasons, so at some point in the afternoon she vanishes off to the sea and just watches the waves from the desert fort until she can't see anything at all.  She'll creep home late.

At 18, on the other hand... she wakes up in tears.  Again.  But it's okay.  This time she doesn't mind at all.  She doesn't so much sleep in this morning as curl around her pillow and rake over her memories until they all make sense, so if anyone wants her before 10 that's where she'll be.  When she finally gets up, she spends most of the day in the house because ksfasf she finally remembers all of you sorry pirates.  She just doesn't remember anyone else.  And the Arlong brand is gone this morning, replaced with her familiar pinwheel-and-mikan tattoo. 

At 19, she makes a post, a little paler than usual.  She's regained all the way to her nineteenth birthday, but the events before that were kinda nasty. 8|]

[Voice]

So I finally remember enough to work out what's been going on this week.   But as I understand it, I still have a couple years to go, so.  Don't hold it against me if I don't remember you for another day, or whatever.

So... am I cute at 21?

[Private to Noel]

Um.  [She remembers you saying two people went home a few days ago.  That, and according to her memories, you're supposedly missing.]  Are you there?

[de_bel_survivor]

Yep, you're cute.

[They haven't really talk before, but Kouki have seen her around the village, as well over the network.]

[Voice]

[mikanthief]

Ahh, thank you! I guess I can rest easy.

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Iiii am going to have to go with drop dead sexy. No offense, Nami-chan.

[...Wait? what? He's not sure he gets it, but. The voice fits?]

[voice]

[mikanthief]

Drop dead sexy...? Well, I'm definitely not going to complain about that.

[Private]

[failazure]

[Okay. She's... thankfully, she's had enough time to calm down a little at this point, though it's clear from her tone that she feels kind of down. 8|]

I... uh, yes? Why?

[Private]

[mikanthief]

You are here. [This is a very relieved-sounding Nami.]

I'm sorry, Noel. How're you doing?

voice

[redjacketthief]

Cute isn't the best word. I'd go with hot, if you don't mind my being candid.

voice

[mikanthief]

[Huh. Someone older than she's used to. That isn't Alexei. >>]

I've never minded flattery. Who's this?

[vulcanblazer]

...Well. Yeah, you are good looking at 21. Damn good looking.

[Not that Adell didn't think she was that was even at 19, though he still doesn't have any interest in her that way.]

Everything getting better for ya, Nami? And I dunno if you remember me yet.

[mikanthief]

[Hee. She smiles in thanks, before her expression softens and she nods.]

I do. I didn't talk to you that long ago. [Just...not under very good circumstances >>]

[Voice]

[rageface]

Heh. Not a damn bit. [Ragna has definitely been out of the loop with what's been happening with Nami, but he certainly won't pass up a chance like this to say something like this. All in good fun, and as long as he's having fun, it's A-OK.]

[Voice]

[mikanthief]

Liar.

[So sweet.]

[seakingbait]

The cutest, of course~!

[She giggles.]

How do you feel, Nami-chin? Everything growing okay?

[mikanthief]

So far so good. [She might be surprised at Keimi being here, except for the fact she's spent the last week growing up in her company.] And I'm glad to hear it.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Do you remember this beautiful face yet?

[Voice]

[mikanthief]

I don't remember it being beautiful.

[Action - Age 18]

[alabastajewel]

[As the morning creeps on and there's still no sign of Nami, Vivi begins to worry. She helps clear the table after breakfast and makes up a simple tray of some of the leftovers: cranberry bagels and cream cheese, a banana, and a glass of orange juice. At Nami's door she pauses to balance the tray against a hip as she raises her other hand to knock lightly. Vivi hopes she's not disturbing Nami, but if nothing else, she can just leave the food with her.]

Nami-san?

[Action - Age 18]

[mikanthief]

[It takes a moment to answer, lost in thought as she is. But Nami blinks and glances up at the door, arms hugging her pillow.]

Vivi. Come in.

[voice]

[hiken_ace]

Nah, you're more beautiful than anything. Pretty damn hot, too.

[Ever the suave one, Ace. :|]

[voice]

[mikanthief]

[So very. Compliments from Luffy's brother, she's not sure how to deal with. 8|a But at least she doesn't know he's dead on top of that.]

Well, thank you. Always good to know.

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

So how far do you remember now?

[ voice ]

[mikanthief]

[The answering grin is rueful enough.] Our combined birthday party at the river.

...hey, Katara.

[voice]

[gavemyword]

Wouldn't know.

[voice]

[mikanthief]

So cruel, Zoro. Couldn't you at least make a guess?

Age 18 pretend these are pretimeskip <<

[concasse]

[Nami at age 18 puts Sanji at 19, and he experiences his own relief in the morning. It hurts, but in a good way, to have that last bit of clarification - and for once when he thinks of Zeff, it brings a calm smile to his face. The feast he makes at breakfast is as much old habit as it is celebratory, even if Nami won't get to taste most of it.

But speaking of which... Nami. By noon today, he isn't so keen on approaching her. Even without the last two years of memory he needs, there's something deeply awkward about greeting a woman who was practically your sister growing up... only for that to be a boldfaced lie. He doesn't avoid her, necessarily, but he's alright with staying out of her way for as long as he can.

Which means she can totally find him at Seventh Heaven if she's so inclined]

I'll try real hard '_'

[mikanthief]

[It's not until midafternoon that Nami comes looking for him, pushing open the doors to Seventh Heaven with a thoughtful look. It isn't like Sanji to avoid her-- heck, the fact that Vivi brought her breakfast this morning is telling-- and she thinks she knows why.

She might be wrong on that count, but either way, Nami'll just take a seat at a table and wait to be served.

Don't worry. If you don't come out to take hello, she has a Plan B. *_*]
