[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.]

[Luke had heard what occurred, but his own preoccupation with Ami's birthday and the influx of New Feathers like Spock had kept his attention elsewhere. Still, good to see she's up and about]

Hey Nami, good to see you're up and about.

Thanks, Luke. Apparently I took a, uh... very long nap. Or something.

I heard about that. I'm sorry, really. It all sounded very...complicated.

More than it had to be, I'll bet. Maybe the Malnosso decided I hadn't been sleeping enough lately.

How's things with you?

Well, with Ami-chan back, things are a lot better. Had a bit of a rough time myself, when she was kidnapped and Anakin was sent home.

You missed a lot of excitement, really. Probably better to have been asleep

[She's not even sure who either of those people are, but she can take a guess they mean a lot to Luke, so she offers him a smile.]

A lot of excitement, huh...? A Malnosso experiment?

Something different, refugees from another enclosure. Some from familiar worlds, including mine.

[Oh, that gets her attention. Not precisely the fact that refugees were here in the first place, but--]

Refugees from what?

Another enclosure like Luceti, Kin'Cora.

Yeah, I kinda gathered it was another enclosure. Why were they refugees?

Apparently the Third Party managed to destroy their enclosure. We had space, so we had to deal with them for a week. On top of a drought and a food shortage.

[...oh.

The drought's effects she can see for herself, and the food shortage is something she's just been informed of.

Third Party raid?]

...did they happen to say how many casualties they had?

Lots, from the sounds of things. No idea how many, it wasn't announced on any channel I heard from.

It...was interesting, certainly not an easy time. I think they may have raided your orchard, though.

Yeah, I think they did. Nothing I can't deal with, though. [Especially given the circumstances. She's not gonna begrudge hungry people food.]

...did they happen to mention if they were protected by a barrier like ours?

They did. Apparently, the Third Party managed to breach it somehow. The details were sparse, sadly.

On a lighter note, Applejack and I have started expanding the farmland like you and I had discussed. We've managed to get a lot done, and if you need help, or fertilizer or something let me know.

Oh, really? That's good to hear! I'll keep that in mind. Likewise-- I can send some rain up that way if it's ever needed.

That'd be good to hear.

Oh...and...if you happen to see a shaggy looking elephant roaming around please let me know. It means he's left his pen.

...

A shaggy looking elephant.

[/pokerface]

A bantha, an animal from my world. I requested him with mission participation points for a beast of burden and a source of reliable fertilizer.

I see. [She doesn't fight the grin.] I guess that'd make things useful, huh. If I see any such shaggy elephants, I'll let you know.

Thanks. Hamal is harmless, big and fuzzy, but harmless. And he's fond of people.

Here's hoping Biri doesn't run into him first. That could be an...interesting meeting. [Dare we say electrifying. :|]

Biri?

Ahh, I'm surprised you didn't run into him at the orchard while you were here. He's a giant duck that tends to get over-excited at times.

Well, I've only been there during the storm. A pet of yours from back home?
