[Nami's had quite enough of sleeping. It's kind of disconcerting to be told it's now September, and it doesn't help that she's spent the time since Ling's rude wake-up call still sleeping most of her day away. So tired, all the time. Prone to falling asleep mid-shower, and that is annoying, to say the least.

Oh, well. A week has gone past and she can finally get through most of the day with no problems, so Nami takes advantage of the fact that there is no Chopper to tell her otherwise (and no Katara or Law at the house at the time) to sneak up to the orchard and see how it's fared in her near-two-month absence.

...huh. Been hot lately, she sees. And a lot less mikan up here than she was expecting. Nothing too alarming, and the place seems okay otherwise, pinwheels and all. Someone even fixed her cottage door, lookit that.

Welp. Observant villagers might see the low-lying rainclouds to the northeast of the village, a tiny little storm that barely covers an acre. It's too hot today anyway, may as well take advantage of the fact that she can cheat.]

[Voice]

Thanks, whoever fixed my door. Did you take some of the fruit as payment or should I blame someone else for that?

[Tell her what she's missed, Luceti.]

[ledbythewind]

So you're finally awake.

[Teasing, of course, and that's all he's going to say about that subject because hello embarrassment.]

How are you feeling?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

[A-ahaha, yeah. Well, she doesn't feel that bad with Richard, because she knows Richard would only be helping out a friend.]

Annoyed at the Malnosso, but otherwise fine. Thanks, by the way.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[See this is what sassy gay friends are for Don't worry, Nami, it was as weird for him as it was for you. Probably weirder, because girl.]

There's no need to thank me for that, but if you insist, you can thank me by pretending it never happened.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

What never happened?

[So innocent.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I thought you might see things my way.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

I'm pretty agreeable like that.

How have things been otherwise?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Quiet so far, which usually means we should start preparing for something to happen.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

You mean refugees and thorns everywhere count as quiet?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[He laughs.]

I meant after all of that.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

I guess that qualifies as 'quiet' with Luceti anyway. When was the last time we had a Shift roll through?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Not counting the incident with the refugees, I believe it was nearly a month and a half ago. We're past due for another one of their experiments now.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Sounds like it. Let's hope they're not too horrific about it. [Though they've been pretty inane lately.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Wouldn't saying something like that be the same as jinxing us?

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Hey, jinxing us would be saying something like "Gee, these experiments are pretty harmless these days."

[So in essence, her brackets.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I think you've just guaranteed that our next experiment won't be so harmless.

[Voice] 1/3

[mikangirl]

Huh, I'm doing this all wrong.

[She coughs into her hand.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

I'm so glad that experiment where everything I touched turned to gold is long gone! Worst experiment ever!

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Think they'll buy it?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

It's certainly worth a try. In that case...

I hope we never have a repeat of that experiment where there was nothing except natto in the grocery store.

[Not that there ever was such an experiment, but shhhh.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

[Snrk.] Now, are you just a big fan of natto or are you trying to drive the rest of the villagers mad?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Would you believe me if I said it was only the first?

[EVERYONE SHOULD APPRECIATE NATTO, MAN.]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

You really like natto that much? [Well, it's not that it tastes bad. But the smell, man.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Oh yes, there's nothing better for breakfast than a piece of natto toast and a cup of tea. I would eat that every morning if I could, but my housemates have put limits on the amount of natto allowed in the house at one time.

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Alas. Maybe you should try having breakfast at the restaurant, instead. I'm sure Sanji-kun woudn't turn you down.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Or would he? I can't see him being much of a fan of natto.
