[Nami gets home from her mission late evening on the 2nd and knows pretty must straight away that something is off. Having been gone nearly two weeks, running into Sanji the way she does puts a bad taste in her mouth.  She was looking forward to seeing them.

Once Sanji leaves with his spooky darkness powers, she strides through the house in search of other nakama who are awake in search of answers.  Don't worry, if nobody's awake she'll just shake someone awake. 8Db  Maybe all of you!

...and that shows her quite plainly that the experiment going on isn't just affecting her chef.

FML.

In a temper the next morning, she heads through town, meets some very off-kilter people she knows, and at least thanks the powers that be that she's unaffected this time.  It doesn't improve her mood any, so she heads for the battledome to try and work out some stress and try (yet again) to see if she can locate the way down to Catherine's lab.




Okay, yes.  That was kind of easy.  TOO BAD ABOUT THE MESS.]

[Irritated Voice]

Does someone want to explain to me what the hell happened in the battledome?  If any of you are still sane, that is.  [She flops down in the wreckage of Catherine's lab and pans the video across the rubble.  Doesn't seem much need for secrecy.  This has to have been noticed by now, right?]   And if anyone is still sane, please tell me what the hell is going on today? 

...preferably over alcohol.

[She'll vent her temper on killing a bunch of pirates at the battledome, drop by the battledome clinic on the way out, then swing past Raine's with a handful of papers in hand.  And finally, she hits the bar to drink in moody silence.

Unless of course anyone wants to keep her company, because that'd be kind of cool.  Worst homecoming ever. >E]

[The sad thing is that he would probably end up coming back from the dead long before Noel returned.

Ragna just eyes the drink he was poured and contemplates whether he should drink it yet. On the other hand, he could shoot for a bit of small talk first.] How'd that mission thing go for you?

[voice]

[hiken_ace]

If by "fun", you mean "frickin crazy", then yeah. [Forgive his sarcasm, he's not too pleased about all of this.]

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

...oh. [Yep, definitely off. Vivi's brow furrows slightly as she draws her knees up to her chest.] Jixsan, you said? [It's easy to see how that name is derived from his real one, but Vivi doesn't understand why.]

Should we go looking for him?

...actually, what time is it? [Because somehow, things feel off in that department too.]

[action] 1/2

[tanukipwnt]

Huh?

[...]

Sanji can teleport?

[.......]

Luffy's a ninja?

[..............]

[action]

[tanukipwnt]

How long was I gone?!

[Private]

[mikangirl]

Aheh. Well, this was a heck of a thing to come back to. Have you run into Sanji-kun today? He's a little...different.

[Private]

[ex_restoring6]

I haven't. I was talking to Xion, though...she was calling him Jixsan.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Yeah, I've got some stuff for you. Nothing important, but... I thought you might be interested.

[Private]

[mikangirl]

[She was, huh. Well...given what she's learned today so far...]

I'm guessing he thinks he comes from her world, then. They can teleport around town the same way, that's for sure.

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Nami pulls his hat down over his eyes.] Relax. It's an experiment. They were just fine when I left here a couple weeks ago. Just...don't be too surprised if Sanji-kun doesn't act like Sanji-kun.

[Private]

[ex_restoring6]

Is that what it is this time...? [Naoki's frowning.] Making people think they come from other people's worlds?

[Private]

[mikangirl]

I think so. It's hard to say-- but a friend of mine has a new 'guard' that she claims has been here all along, and Luffy thinks he's a ninja now. And there was some kind of world-visiting stuff going on just beforehand, by the sounds of things.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

It's just after eleven. And I'm not sure it's a wise idea... [She trails off. Vivi asked another question before.] Everyone else seems okay so far.

[...yeah, she hasn't got to Luffy yet.]

[Private]

[ex_restoring6]

... [Naoki feels an abrupt sense of relief that no-one thinks they're from his world when they actually aren't. Mainly because, well...nobody else should have to have thought they lived through what'd happened.

Thoughtfully,] That-- The village seemed like it was practically empty, for a day. Then people started acting odd. It's kinda timed too well to be a coincidence, huh?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Sure thing.

[/handwave. More she'd rather just leave you people alone while you're nuts. >.>;; Saves headaches and embarrassment later. Bye, Vash.]

Depends on how long you're here for.

I've been drinking a lot of Romulan Blue in your absence. [Let no alcohol be a challenge.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

...That's comforting to know, I suppose. [unsure] It's almost like what happened a few months back, although not as many are effected this time.

[mikangirl]

[Blinks] Missing-- define 'a lot'. Was it a kidnapping?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

A few months back...? [Racking her memory, here.]

[action]

[mirrorblade]

[Seeing as Claude awoke in a house that definitely wasn't his (?) last night, Nami might not be able to find him in the evening. But maybe before she leaves in the morning, she'll discover someone busying themselves in the kitchen. Since Sanji isn't around, one of your other housemates has taken it upon himself to make something for breakfast!

The housemate you didn't know you had, that is. How did he get here? Why, he let himself in, of course!

...at least breakfast smells delicious?!]

[action]

[tanukipwnt]

[mmphf - fixing his hat B|]

What happened? Did they mess with everyone's memories again?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Boring. Well... boring after the first day or so, anyway. I was sifting through ruins for random Third Party stuff.

Still, I'll take it over actual fighting. [Nami doesn't wait on her own glass, but she's sipping it, at least.]

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

Ah, I see. [Has something? That does ping her curiosity.] That sounds fine; I'll give you a ring when I'm home.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

Three months ago, there was a day people had no memories of as well. I'm not sure if this has any connection to it. That one seem to have been more wide spread.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

...[She can't remember that. Though wasn't she...]

I think I might have been missing around that time. Seems I have all the best luck.
