[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.]

Day 5

[markofthebrave]

[...]

Right.

Is anyone coming after you, or do I need to get help?

Day 5

[mikangirl]

Well... Trafalgar said something about coming out here, but I don't know how much luck he's having-- she's having. There's a Shift going on and all. [And I'm totally unaffected.] Just...you helped out last time. Would you be willing to come out here? Though I don't know if you can deal with things under the ocean.

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.

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...?

[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.

[markofthebrave]

That would be nice. For now just... hang in here, I guess.

[mikangirl]

Will do.

[She leaves the feed there.





...for half an hour, when she finally calls back, this time very clearly out in the wind and rain. 8|a]

Katara? You there?

[markofthebrave]

Yes? Nami - are you all right?

[mikangirl]

Yeah, I uh...

...sorry, but apparently I've been rescued by a random stranger.

[markofthebrave]

[Blink.]

Really? Do they have a name?

[mikangirl]

Castiel? I've never met him before. He just...appeared on the boat. [Blinking.] And then gave me a lift into town. As it were.

[markofthebrave]

Oh - um. Good!

[Of course it was good - no one was hurt and dying and Nami was off the boat.

Castiel... the name was vaguely familiar.]

Where are you now? I'll come meet you.

[mikangirl]

I was on my way home. I can meet you somewhere though, if you like.

[markofthebrave]

Yes, that's a good idea.

[A VERY good idea.

In fact, she might have said all that a little quickly.]

Are you taking the teleporters? I can meet you by the barracks.

[mikangirl]

[Sob it's okay Katara, Nami already has inklings that things aren't always what they seem at this point. T_T That too-fast delivery makes her blink, but she only smiles a little resignedly.]

I can meet you there, sure. No problem.

[markofthebrave]

Great.

[And so, Katara sets off to see her friend who... probably thinks she's her daughter in law at this point.]

[mikangirl]

[Nami will be there, looking faintly bedraggled due to the weather but not too much the worse for wear, hovering just inside the barracks doorway to shelter from the rain. She glances up as Katara approaches and lifts a hand in greeting.]

Hey.

[markofthebrave]

[Screw hand waving, it's been weeks, and affected or not you're getting a hug.]

Hey.

[mikangirl]

[Whoa, this is a little warmer than she expected. But after a beat of surprise, Nami just returns the hug warmly. Because honestly, at this point, she needs one.]

How's things?
