[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.]

Wh-- cut--

[...seriously. You're getting stared at as if you're utterly mad. But not as if you're an utter moron, which might make for a nice change, who knows?]

What good would cutting the ship do? Like what, a piece of the sail or something?

[LOL like anyone could cut a ship in half, I mean c'mon, hon.]

[gavemyword]

No, no. Just the... ship. The coating. [OK, so he doesn't know how it works exactly... B|a] Look, if you break it the ship will be crushed by the water, right? You can just swim up.

...he did not just say that. Nope, nope, perfectly good explanation here-- this si Zoro-brand humour, that's all--]

This is no time for jokes! I don't even know how far away the surface is!

[voice]

[gavemyword]

[Jokes? Who's joking?] Hold your breath! You can swim can't you?

[voice]

[mikangirl]

Yes, but-- Zoro, this is the bottom of the ocean! I'm not that good! And-- and it's dark out there. [And there was a shark. DX SHE SAW IT.]

Then what do you expect me to do! [Ugh, this is frustrating.] It's not like I can just dive down the--

What the hell just happened.

[action] 1/2

[mikangirl]

[Oh hello she appears to be +1 Zoro]

How did you do that...

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Well, it doesn't matter. At least she has good company now DX and given this is the third person to teleport in--]

Okay, so there's a Shift going on, right? Which means eventually we'll probably just... turn back up on shore.

[Yeah. Totally a teleporting experiment or something. Also hi, Zoro, welcome to unda da sea. 8|]

[action]

[gavemyword]

Or I could cut our way out. [Yes, this plan is still on the table. B|b

Zoro pulls Shuusui out of its sheathe, destructive intent rolling off him in waves.]

[action]

[mikangirl]

[SJDKfhSDFA just gonna kinda lunge forward and wrap both arms around that swordarm DX] Much as I love you, Zoro, I will happily murder you if you drown us both-- [Logic. B| Also, she loves you, have fun with that.] Just think for a second!

[action] 1/2

[gavemyword]

[He lifts his arm, towing Nami upward until they're pretty much face to face.] We won't drown! We just need to swim to the surface! It's not like it's............

[action]

[gavemyword]

... wait, what did you say?

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Okay fine so she'll stand on tippytoes and shout in your face. Good plan. :|b]

I said think for a moment! [Sorry were you referring to something else.] We're at the very bottom! I can't hold my breath for that long. I can't even see what's out there, and there are sharks out there!

[Also, the weather calendar says there's a thunderstorm. 8|]

[action]

[gavemyword]

No, not that! [Never mind that none of your reasons make sense to him. Sharks? Really, Nami?] That other... [He colors a little and is, for once, lost for words.]

Never mind. [He drops Nami back to her feet (gently) and re-sheathes his sword.] I'll find us another way out.

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Oh thank god. She knew there was common sense in there somewhere.] Thank you.

...someone's coming out here, they said. Or-- look, you're the second guy who's just appeared out here and he vanished. Maybe it'll happen again. [She hops up to sit on a nearby barrel.]

Is everyone else okay?

[action]

[gavemyword]

[He shuffles around the deck, neck straining as he stares up at the surrounding water. That bubble doesn't look too hard to cut through...]

As far as I know. [Which is Zoro-speak for Who Knows? Sorry, Nami. He barely knows what time it is.] I'm sure they're fine.

[In the meantime, Zoro's gonna go stand in that corner over there. Just... checking for a way out. Really. No need to pay attention to him or anything. >_>a]

[action]

[mikangirl]

[...totally paying attention. Wow, your wife was panicking and you're being antisocial in the corner. What even. B|

So Nami just watches him for a few seconds and tries not to get huffy about this, because he's got a good reason, right? So she'll try and treat this lightly.]

What, was it something I said?

[Nami used Cajoling Tone! Sup, everything's normal here.]

[action]

[gavemyword]

[He turns his head slightly to shoot her a look. That tone just triggers all sorts of Pavlovian responses in him, not a single one of them comforting.

But instead of running for the hills (or the surrounding ocean, as it were), Zoro just shakes his head in response. There's something wrong here but he can't quite put his finger on it...] It's nothing.

[He walks over to Nami, eying her carefully.] Are you ok?

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Relaxing a little, now. That's more like it.] I'm about as good as I can be for waking up in a place like this. It's better with compan--

[She blinks as he approaches and tilts her head to the side.] Did you and Katara have a fight?

[action]

[gavemyword]

[Up goes one eyebrow.] No, why?

[action]

[mikangirl]

[Nami reaches out with a hand as he gets closer... to totally invade his personal space and lift his earrings gently on her fingertips.]

You've got all three. [Kinda worried, man. 8|]

[action]

[gavemyword]

[Wat.]

What does that have to do with anything? You're not making any sense. [Also he's looking a bit uncomfortable here, Nami. Can you... not do that... Zoro's hand comes up to catch her fingers. He lets them hang there for a moment, confusion caught on his face.]
