[Voice/Action]
[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?

[Action - Age 18] /steals that icon *A*
I missed you. [She doesn't care how silly that sounds. Yesterday was a year ago, and they'd long since left Vivi behind in Alabasta.] I guess at least we can be together in a place like this, huh?
[Action - Age 18]
That's how I try to look at it.
[When she'd first arrived in Luceti, she'd seen it as almost a blessing of sorts, for that very reason. After nearly a year here, Vivi no longer has anything like that sort of goodwill toward the place, but she continues to be grateful that it does allow her to be together with her nakama as she can't be back home.]
[Action - Age 18]
[Action - Age 18]
So, nearly a year ago, now. [She shakes her head in disbelief. Putting it like that makes it seem so much longer than it's felt.]
[Action - Age 18]
[...heh.] Don't suppose you've seen Sanji-kun this morning.
[Action - Age 18]
[It hits her then, that if Nami remembers, then Sanji must too--at least, assuming that they were both aging at about the same rate.]
Why? Would you like me to get him for you? [Assuming she can find him. He seemed to make himself scarce after finishing up breakfast.]
[Action - Age 18]
[Action - Age 18]
[She looks back up to Nami.] Is it strange for you, too?
[Action - Age 18]
[Action - Age 18]
You're still older here, so you must have at least another few...years left. What's the last thing you remember now? From back home, I mean.
[Action - Age 18]
[Such a straight face.]
[Action - Age 18]
[Action - Age 18]
[Action - Age 18]
I'm sure you'll find someone nice eventually.
[Action - Age 18]
What about you? Things have got to be looking brighter on your end.
[Action - Age 18]
Brighter..?
[Action - Age 18]
[Action - Age 18]
There's no one like that!
[Action - Age 18]
Just checking! Besides, it's just as well.

[Munch munch.]
Not even Kohza?
[Action - Age 18]
[...]
What about him? [Surely she's not asking if there's any romantic interest there. Vivi must have misunderstood.]
