[Action/Video] Day 5 onwards

[mikangirl]

[And on the first four days of this experiment, lo, the navigator was completely unaffected and oblivious, casually making use of Trafalgar Law's coated ship to pretend Luceti doesn't exist explore the ruins beneath the water.  She'd have invited Raine, only you know.  Under the surface and all.  S'all good.  It's not like the rest of the village is going nuts or anything, is it?

...

...and on day 5, there is a lot of screaming, lost to the depths of the sea.  Luckily, her journal is off for that part, or she'd never live it down.  However.]

[Panicked Voice] 

Zoro!!  Katara?  Someone get me off of this thing!!   Why is it always a boat?

[Ship, Nami.  But hey.   Feel free to drop in on her for a rescue or a random teleport or whatever floats your...boat... /shot


From day 7 onward Nami will be afflicted by the teleporting bug herself, turning up in all sorts of awkward places.  Not always fully dressed.  Beware:  she will charge you for the privilege,   8|  Throughout, though, she really kind of believes she's someone else, married with three children.  Ahahaha.  She may kill someone when this is over.]

It seems like we're on our own. What kind of outfit are you looking for?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Well, I think you'd remember the important parts. [So she already knows the answer when she adds:] You're my daughter.

[alloys]

Well, for starters--we're not from around here. Any of us. My home town? A lot bigger and shinier than this place. And family is extremely rare. We're a real Island of Misfit Toys, I'll tell you.

[Pause.] And the Malnosso? Not out benefactors.

Day 5; sob, sorry, idk why this is so hard

[markofthebrave]

Not... for long periods of time, anyway. But sure, if you want me to come, I'll contact him.

[mikangirl]

Bring dessert? I'll take care of the rest.

It's all good, bb.

[mikangirl]

Well, only if you can-- I know it's a lot different from just travelling across the water. [She gives a weak smile.] I'm sure something will get worked out. Or the Shift will end and I'll find myself home again, or... the bubble hasn't collapsed or anything, so it should be okay...?

[corrinesbell]

Are you sure? I could, uh...bring tea too, I think.

[A pale smile. She can't really say thanks enough for this.]

[mikangirl]

Great. Well, I guess you're stuck on a boat with me that may or may not kill us at any minute.

[goldenglasses]

Gee, way to make a guy feel safe and welcomed.

[mikangirl]

I could have just left you to drown.

[goldenglasses]

Oh thank you most kind and forgiving and wise mistress! Forgive my earlier whining! I wouldn't have wanted to be saved by any other!

[action]

[mikangirl]

I'll settle for just something warm, I think. [Jeans and a sweater, is good enough for her.]

So, uh... what do you remember this week?

action;

[mikangirl]

That's not the way it is, normally. [Though she sounds more thoughtful than assured about that.] Luceti Valley was settled centuries ago, but the valley keeps getting hit by Shifts that affect people's minds. The Malnosso are the ones who set it straight.

[But even Luceti Valley brainwashing doesn't stop her from noticing just how consistently people are against the Malnosso this week, no matter what they curently believe about themselves.

...not to mention all the cash is mysteriously gone. That's something Nami does wonder about.]

action;

[alloys]

Alright, then--if it's not the Malnosso running the Shifts? Then who is? Last I checked, the Third Party couldn't get in here. Unless you've got another story.

[Convenient explanations.]

action;

[mikangirl]

They're natural! [It occurs to her she's discussing the weird shifting metaphysics of Luceti in a guy's living room wearing his shirt, really. Nami frowns and finds a chair to sit down in.] They've been natural for centuries - something's wrong with the land. They've done this ever since I was a little girl, anyway.

[mikangirl]

Oh, well true. It'd be best to leave that in the hands of an expert, right? [Her grin is faintly teasing.] I look forward to it.

[mikangirl]

And don't forget it. [But she's calmer now.] I guess all we can do is wait.

action;

[alloys]

[Mmhmm. Sure, natural. He stays standing, for now.]

And I don't suppose you ever get the feeling that you don't belong here, do you. No--that'd be too convenient.

action;

[mikangirl]

[She...has, actually. The dreams she had last year were too vivid for Nami to discount them completely, and she scowls.]

I like my life the way it is, thanks.

[Which might be Nami-ese for I'm not thinking about it, la la la.]

[markofthebrave]

No, it's fine. I want to see you anyway.

It's - been a while.

[mikangirl]

[Has it? Come to think of it, she hasn't seen Katara in weeks. Her smile grows more sure.]

It has, hasn't it? Maybe we should catch up for tea once I'm out of this place.

[goldenglasses]

I guess so.
