[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]

Nami, hello! [Beware, Nami, Azusa looks a bit different in her portrait. She's got on a heavier shade of lipstick, hoop earings, and several gold and silver bracelets and gaudy earrings. She looks like a gypsy.] It's poss I might know a thing or two. Wanna meet at the tav?

[... oh where to start.] Been a bit of world-visiting lately. We've been going to different worlds, and... I guess some people are coming back different.

[He's still sane, thank you.]

Whole place's going a bit loopy. As for your concerns, seems like we had a visit from the droids. A lot of droids.

That's one offer I wouldn't mind taking you up on.

Whoa-- When did that happen? [R-referencing the battledome. Ie, nope, he has no idea.]

...Since you've established a possible location, I would like to take up on that offer. I'd rather we discuss this off journal anyway.

[Fair enough. Though it looks like she's been given the general gist already. Nami's expression flattens, though for once it's not directed at Alexei.]

Sure. I was heading that way myself after I was done here. Give me an hour?

Naoki? [Are you sane? Sob.] I guess this must be pretty new, then.

Yup. I'm normal, if you're wondering. [Chuckles. He feels kind of nostalgic. You know. Watching the oddities that seem to be going down safely via journal.]

I'm guessing. I mean, I haven't been by in the last little bit, but the last time I went there wasn't...that.

I'm still sane. Do you want me to meet you at Good Spirits?

[Yeah about those battle dome clinic doors... they've seen better days. Basically, the entire dome has.

Going in, there is quiet cursing about all the mess and smoke stains, and how right now, he'd like to commission some genins about this D class project he's got on his hands.

It might take a while to find him. Just look up. No. UP.

And there is one Law, scrubbing. Scrubbing hard. Dressed as almost exactly as this.

Hanging upside down from the ceiling. Damn stains 8|a]

Then I will see you in an hour. [And he will be at Good Spirits once an hour has passed, outside the doors and waiting like some guardsman. At least he seems sane.]

[She'll be there just after an hour has passed, stomping up to the doors with an exasperated look. Everyone's nuts. And speaking of which... Alexei gets an incredibly measuring look.]

So. I guess asking you whether you're the same is kind of a pointless question. You wouldn't know.

[Look up? That requires Nami's irritation to stop giving her tunnel vision. She takes her time going through the doors, staring at the doors uneasily before she wanders into the clinic. Wow... that's some mess. What the heck happened?

...of course, it is going to occur to her that that quiet cursing and scrubbing has got to come from somewhere.

Slooowly looking up.]

[SJDFHLASD]

Law!?

...So much talk about that place lately. I suppose the Organization does not care to clean up this time. [He sounds bored, but that's not particularly surprising.]

Bit of a long story, chere. Far as I've seen, you're prob'ly the only other one noticin' that everyone else has lost it.

[Yep. Unaffected, here. And it's something of a relief to know somebody else is. Maybe. Hopefully.]

[Sup, fellow potential partner in crime. Or... at least you were. But she won't discuss that over the journal.]

So I'm guessing it's another village-wide experiment, then.

[... huh. Did she ever see any of the shinobi of this village use chakra this way? Guess not. Okay... this would be a little shocking then.]

Aa... Nami-san? Forgive the mess, but we had some trouble nearly a week ago. Things aren't quite righted yet.

[Yep, said as he hangs off the ceiling like a bloody vampire bat. He's just going to release his hold on the ceiling, flip, and land in a solid crouch.

She might find this better for talking. Less neck strain.]

I[Hello, Pirate Woman. Perona's not entirely pleased to be speaking with you - but you're more familiar than...everyone she's met, and somewhat better than no one at all. Sue her, she's been lonely. Even conversing with an enemy is better than speaking to thin air.]

I was hoping you could tell me what was happening. [A long, suffering sigh.] Even the hollow scouts I sent to keep watch on things couldn't tell me just what was going on! Activity stopped for some time, and when it picked up again, there was such a change...

But that's all I've been able to gather.

[Nami-san. Nami-san. WELP. If the clothes and the ceiling clinging wasn't enough... Nami just blinks at him for a few moments, and then shakes her head as if to clear it.]

...right. What happened?

[...

...um.]

The...tav?

For a drink, I fig. And to talk about the toy sitch at the battledome.

[He'll keep it short and sweet. Easier to digest.]

Sir Catherine was attacked, and Molly-san was abducted on the twenty-sixth, late at night. Someone sent a small army of droids in to take them out and to remove anything of value from that lab of his. They locked down the entire dome, the clinic included, and fought off anyone who interfered.

A new version of droids. Far more advanced than what we're used to. They were regenerating any damage and using the powers of the villagers here. We found Sir Catherine in the rubble, barely alive.

[He sighs. Well, might as well tell her. She is the most rational of the present Strawhat crew.]

... he's upstairs right now, in a coma, being guarded. We're waiting for him to stabilize more before making an announcement.

...[right to the point aren't you?]

What do you know already?
