[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]

[Perona chuckles, though it's more of a dry laugh than her usual airy giggle. Do they really think she's that kinda of per--okay, so maybe she is. BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.]

Eh, I know I can beat you all so long as that Long-Nose doesn't show up, but I have no need. Without Moria-sama here, I can do whatever I please whenever I want. And everything is free, so I don't have to do much at all to get whatever I need. "Tangling" with you people would only be a waste of my time...even if it may be fun to make a few of you negative sometime, horohoro!

[...

She puts a hand back on Chopper's hat, far more gently than earlier.]

He'll probably be back, you know. We have a habit of doing that.

[The news that Bellemere is also gone can be passed on by someone else, she thinks.]

Only until we set him right. This place can make us do horrible things. There's no way to get around it... so it's more important than ever that we're here for each other when the fallout happens.

[Do you want the honest or the delicate response, Katara?]

...

...I think you'll find most people don't.

Well. [Grudgingly, she shall be fair.] I suppose it's also possible this was a test run. I won't know until I can talk to Catherine properly.

You know, there's a marine in town. Feel free to make him negative any time you want.

[Screw most people.

She skips the stone in her hand to the river.]

I'm guessing so. See you around the place.

One way or the other. If he dies in the clinic, he'll be resurrected. Whether that's a good thing for him or not is another story. [Sip.] Depends on who does the resurrecting.

I hope that's true. Not a big fan of trying to use logic in this place, though. Hope nothing goes wrong. [In his resurrection. Also drinking.] I don't think he's as toy as people think.

Ah...yeah, we're not all that interested in mind games.

[He'd have to have a mind for them first.]

Edited 2012-04-14 07:03 (UTC)

But tempting. Think we could have a try at it?

...not as toy. [Sob, help her out here.]

[Nami's quiet for a long moment, and then sighs, leaning on the bridge rail.]

How long have we known each other?

Really? Something because of the Captain or well, your Captain?

Likewise.

[Test runs. There's always got to be tests and crap like that. Those are definitely not the words Ragna likes to hear.]

... Dammit. He'd better wake up soon. [Ragna just finishes the rest of his drink in one gulp, not that it was a lot, and cringes. Mistake.]

[If Chopper knew the full extent of losses, he'd be singing a different tune right now. As it is, he just shakes his head and manages something of a smile back up at Nami. She's right, of course, and even if she weren't...well, Luceti could always do far worse than leaving someone where they belong.]

I know. Besides, even if he doesn't, I'm sure the New World is keeping him busy!

I don't think he's that bad of a guy.

... Oh! The blue guy-- I think I remember him. [Because he was just. Odd and those kinds of people stick in the head, even if you don't want them to.]

Captain Smoker? Ah, I've been informed about him... [Oh, look at that enthused face. Perona knows Smoker's here, and she seems as glad about that little tidbit as she would be about getting a pet cockroach.] As fun as it would be to test my skills against him, I'd rather not get on the bad side of someone like him. There's nothing to be gained by playing with the marines...especially someone as uncute and stone-faced as the White Hunter.

The thing about Lucet is it can definitely give us people to help when that fallout does happen.

...run that by me again? [You've lost her.]

Because Cappy [Just steals Lupin's nickname there since she's never met Smoker.] isn't interested or your crew just isn't? [Since Nami doesn't seem like she'd mind puzzles, and Fujiko can't imagine Lupin getting along with someone who's an idiot.]

[Snort.] I think it comes down to: we've got better things to do than entertain a marine.
