[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]

[Now he looks a little guilty.] Shit, that must've been hard on him...

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, okay! I'm sure we'll be able to handle ourselves if something strange happens, so don't worry too much about it! I hope everything's going well in your household...

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Your guess is as good as mine. At least we know they can do it.

Voice

[mikangirl]

Heh. For me, the drinking is all about perspective. [She didn't drink anywhere near as much at home.] Ah, well. It's better for you, isn't it?

[Private]

[mikangirl]

[..oh that's right. He just got back. She has no clue how much he knew before that.] That's the name the blue guy goes by. Have you ever met him? Old eccentric guy with a preference for blondes.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Well, nobody's killing anybody. [Her household isn't the one she's worried about 8|]

I mean it, Sayo. You come right on over if there's trouble. Or call me.

[doubleppk]

That's kind of terrifying. I don't think even Luceti can handle two of Zenigata running around.

[ action ]

[mikangirl]

...Masaomi?

[She has a bad feeling.]

[mikangirl]

Heh. I was surprised by it, but knowing it happened, it makes me think it was inevitable. Catherine was hiding out in Luceti.

[mikangirl]

Well, it's handled two of them thus far just fine. I've never heard of Zenigata before this, and Smoker keeps to himself.

[doubleppk]

Smoker? Is that the guy Lupin keeps calling "Cappy?"

I guess Zenigata keeps to himself too.

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

[Sigh.]

Hope they have the bar ready for that storm.

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Ah... of course, Nami-san! I'll let you know.

[That's a plus, the 'not killing' thing. :|]

Likewise, if you need anything, let me know, too.

[action]

[mikangirl]

Alabasta. [She peers at him.] You're a friend of Vivi's? And she remembers you?

[Very easily, apparently. |D]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

You're a pirate. What's there to repay? You should be laughing maniacally and telling us how we'll regret tangling with you if it's the last thing we do.

[Believe it or not, this is Nami's way of going no big deal, kid.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Heh. I'm half tempted to go and empty the place of alcohol out of spite.

[She would never. But sounds like fun trolling.]

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah.

[She takes a rock and throws it into the river, not really even bothering to try and skip it.]

[ action ]

[mikangirl]

[...this could be awkward fallout.]

You'd better tell me what's going on with Masaomi.

[mikangirl]

No idea. I haven't been paying much attention to Smoker. It's possible, though? He is a Captain.

[Or ...well, he used to be a captain, anyway.]

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

...then I guess you don't remember either.

[She picks up another stone.]

[Action]

[rageface]

That doesn't help me. Because now I know they can do it and are holding back on us!

Voice

[hageshii]

[And he drank more here than he ever did at home.]

That's right. But I'm still not above a little booze here and then. Chances are, we'll run into each other again.

[mythmaker]

It's poss. Probs not the best hide, though...hmm...think he's gonna come out of this?

[Alive, that is.]

[doubleppk]

Small world I guess.

Though you guys must not be as close with yours then. Zenigata and Lupin get completely caught up in their own mind games with each other a lot of the time. Honestly sometimes old Pops knows what's going on with Lupin long before I even do.

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

... Oh, that is just diabolical.
