[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.]

The way I heard it, he did in the end. Though currently upon request I'm pretending that never happened.

Well, his kiss was unneeded. The task had already been done.

Mm. [All at once she'd rather talk about something else.]

...I've spoken to you before this, haven't I? A while ago.

[Well, that's odd.]

Possibly. I speak to a lot of people. [... but he doesn't remember.]

Maybe not. Though ... [IDK she hasn't talked to a lot of people with squinty eyes and ponytails :|]

...you mentioned being an emperor, I think.

Edited 2012-10-12 02:35 (UTC)

Well, that is true. Though I have yet to become Emperor. Luceti found me before that could happen.

Hmm. I'll have to see if I can remember. How long have you been here, anyway?

It's been over a year now. I suppose that's long enough to no longer consider myself new, in any case.

Time does tend to go pretty fast. I remember first coming here and deciding I wouldn't be here any longer than a month.

I see you decided to stick around a little longer.

Oh yes. As much as I have any say in it.

I find it more preferable to think of this place as a temporary hiatus before my life becomes truly troublesome.

Hohh? [You sound like Shikamaru.] Life's going to be that much of a pain in the ass back home?

[Shikamaru doesn't own that word!]

There will be very few that are pleased by my becoming Emperor. I expect everything I've faced so far will be easy compared to what's ahead.

[He probably would if he wasn't so lazy.]

Divided kingdom, huh? Will you be able to keep the peace?

[A year ago he would have said yes.]

I have no choice but to try. I owe my people that much.

[That's worth respect.]

I wish you luck. I know how hard that can be.

Oh? Are you perhaps a princess yourself?

No, but one of my best friends is. I've seen firsthand some of the problems she faced with her country.

I suppose that would provide some insight. Before I arrived here, I was wrapped up in a country wherein the government was intending to sacrifice its entire population.

[...]

...that's a little extreme. A country. Not yours?

Not mine. Mine has its own problems, but none quite so convoluted.

Sounds like a real fun place. Makes our government look positively noble.

Did they succeed?

They did.

However, plans had been put into place by others to reverse the effect immediately after. But for a brief many moments, every single soul in Amestris had been absorbed by a monstrous Homunculus. With that much pwoer, he was able to consume that which he considered God.

[...

...okay, she doesn't know what a homunculus is. But the general context of what he's saying makes sense to her. In a horrifying sort of way.]

The people are all right? [What kind of nutbag does something like that?]
