[Voice/Action]

[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]

Thank you so much. You drank that stuff faster than I did. I did warn you. [Nobody to blame but yourself. B|]

[Not the first time he didn't heed a warning and it's making him feel like crap, that's for sure.]

I can't even begin to explain how much I regret downing that, alright?

Nope. [And then after a second, she looks at him with actual faint concern. (Though amused.)] You gonna be okay?

[AMUSEMENT AND CONCERN SHOULD NOT BE MIXED INTO ONE THING.]

... I'm pretty sure I'll live. [He's pretty sure. But he's definitely reconsidering the whole bar scene and alcohol from now on.]

[OH YEAH WELL GET USED TO IT]

Drink a lot of water. You'll feel better for it. [She grins faintly.] Kind of surprising, really.

[Water. That sounds like a good idea. But he didn't get a glass of water when he got here!]

What's surprising? [He's looking for water while talking. Rather half-assedly, too.]

[You're hopeless, Ragna. Nami will just flag the bartender down and point at Ragna while mouthing 'water' while you're doing that.]

The kind of attitude you have, I thought you'd know your way more around a bar.

[That makes sense, but at the same time, he's a pretty naive guy when it comes to a lot of other things he life. He spent way too long training with Jubei and going off on his quest. Too much tunnel-vision.

Oh man, if Master Jubei saw him right now...] Thanks. [...] Not my fault. Going to a bar back home isn't exactly a good option when you're wanted by hundreds of vigilantes.

No, I'd guess not.

...hundreds? Really?

[Ragna waves his hand dismissively.]

Hundreds, thousands. Every damn vigilante in the world was after me. Comes with having the world's largest bounty ever conceived.

Well, that'd do it.

[Ssssip.

...]

So how much are you worth?

Lost track. [He really dislikes looking at his wanted poster. It fills him with almost as much rage as Terumi does sometimes.] Last time I got a glimpse, it was... I dunno, somewhere in the trillions of platinum dollars?

Ahhhh. So if I turned you in, I'd be incredibly rich?

[Heartless. Here comes the bartender with your water |D]

[Oh, his savior. This bartender is forever his favorite person for... the next five minutes. Ragna takes the water, but doesn't immediately drink it. No, he's giving Nami a face.]

If you could find a way to my world to hand me in, maybe. You'd be turning me over to the place Terumi works for. [Siiiip.]

The hell with that, then. [Making a face of her own.] I'd rather be dirt poor.

Glad it takes the mention of him to sway your mind. [No, really. Okay, maybe not.]

Ahh, I'm sure I'd only turn you in if I were really desperate otherwise. [Yup. Okay no, not at all. But that's another thought, though.] Is he still here?

[Hazama in Luceti. She hasn't actually seen him at all.]

[Ragna coughs for a moment. He didn't drink some of that water correctly.]

Hell if I know. I can't keep tabs on that bastard.

[God, Ragna. Can you drink anything correctly?]

That's kind of ...not like him, isn't it?

[It's an off-day, sue him. Wait, don't sue him.]

What do you mean? Like he should be parading around and rubbing whatever he can in my face?

[No point in suing the penniless.]

He did that when he took Noel. It's just weird he hasn't been on the network at all.

[Oh, that's cold.]

Yeah... maybe you've got a point. But it wouldn't be the first time he stayed low.

...maybe you should call him.

[Said so straight-faced. Maybe she's SERIOUS.]

--Hell no! [Even if it was a joke, Ragna reacted as if it were. He doesn't enjoy joking around about Terumi much.]

Oh good, you can't be too far gone. [Sssip.]

...It'd be nice to know for sure, though.
