[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]

[Oh my god, that visual is the best and most beautiful thing ever.] Horohorohoro! Is that all? He really doesn't do anything to bother us?

[Private]

[mikangirl]

Yeah. Below the battledome. He confessed to hiding out here after the huge Luceti Valley experiment he ran last year.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

... heh. That is one thing I can't deny.

[Though the opposite is true, too.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Noted. [She grins briefly, before she headtilts.] How do you feel?

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

... Oh, right.

Well, I have a pregnant woman with a big gun on my side, so I think I'm safe, too.

[action]

[mirrorblade]

Eggs, hashbrowns, and sausages. [Like he's totally content to just let the possible experiment business go. At least the food smells good! Though he's certainly no chef.] I wasn't really sure how much I should make, though.

[He's not even sure who's still here.]

[ action ]

[mikangirl]

Then take some advice.

Don't do anything drastic for the next week.

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Hey, if he's cooking, it means she doesn't have to; an upside to experimental shenanigans, at least. She gives that question fair consideration.] You, me, Zoro and Vivi, I think. Seeing as we're missing Sanji and Luffy this morning. [And Chopper still isn't back. She hasn't seen Keimi either, bah.

...okay, so she's curious how deep this experiment goes.] Hey, Claude? How'd we meet?

[|Da]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

...oh, right.

Well, with a pregnant woman and an electrical duck, how can we go wrong?

[...Milly has a big gun? 8|a]

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

[I'll try to keep my hands to myself.

But, remembering who she's speaking with, Katara swallows her sarcasm and just reaches for another stone.]

I've heard it from Sokka already. You think he's a creep too?

[Action]

[rageface]

[This is where Ragna shows his true colors. To an extent.]

... I don't think I'll drink anything ever again.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Sketches?! Let me see them! [She'll refrain from actually grabbing the papers, herself, but the excitement is still quite evident.]

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

Exactly. Worst comes to worst, we can just hide behind them with our booze bounty.

[mikangirl]

No, I know. Just some of the bad things they do hurt more than others. It kind of clouds your vision after a while.

[mikangirl]

Thank you so much. [Bah. She straightens out and throws a cushion at him.] Guess I'll go check on the others.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

...I don't think it's just you. [Irritation at Zoro aside, something else he said comes to mind.] Zoro said a lot of people vanished yesterday. So maybe an experiment. But...you still seem the same to me. It's not like Sanji-kun.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Sounds like a plan to me. Think I'll head to the bar shortly, then.

[...like she wasn't going to do that anyway.]

[mythmaker]

You've been here longer than me, Nami. I might not be the best judge for him, too.

[mikangirl]

Well, I don't really know either. He's done a couple of good things, as well. I think his heart's sort of in the right place, but he has no concept of the fact that some of the things he does really hurts the people here.

[mikangirl]

Especially in this place.

[Nami got cursed to live in Interesting Times the second she set foot here. 8|]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Nami has to go digging for this kind of stuff more often, if this is the sort of reaction she's going to get. She hands over her sketches with a grin-- some samples of Third Party symbols (writing?) and a couple of rough sketches of a few day to day bits and pieces they might have used. Vague mods are vague]

I'm wondering if their writing is translatable. It could be interesting to find out.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Tries to confiscate pirate ships occasionally. Gets laughed down by the entire town.

[Private]

[ex_restoring6]

Eh--? Somehow, that doesn't sound like the best plan, does it? Unless he was really sure he was safe down there.

[So then... Going off of that... His eyes narrow in thought as his thoughts settle on the wreckage of the battledome Nami's picking through.]

[mythmaker]

I don't think I'll ever understand the high-ups here. Good or not, things just change so sudden, yeah?

[Voice]

[thatsnotcute]

[HAHAA--poor guy.] I almost feel sorry for him. But there are other pirates here, and ships, too? Can we sail?

[If there are ships, then there's an ocean, right? Also, pirate ships have treasures...]
