So I'm curious. How bizarre did some of your reminder cards get? Did anyone not take them all at face value?

[She has valid reasons to ask, trust me. Selfish Nami-is-pissy reasons, mind, but that's what happens after you've spent a week with a scattered crew and a comatose chef and a mallynapped swordsman and find yourself playing babysitter to a bunch of people who really ought to know better, not looking at you, Perona. Also there's an anniversary coming up she really wished she hadn't still been around to see.

Ergo, busy day ahead.]

[Locked to Shikamaru]

Hey, you wanna catch up for a drink?

[Yes, random ninja are often asked out on quasi dates.]

[Locked to Tony Stark]

Mind if I drop round? The normal way, this time.

[Aside from these possibly redundant plottin shenanigans, Nami will be in her usual haunts: the mikan orchard in the afternoon and Good Spirits in the evening. Though around noon she's gonna drop in to Seventh Heaven (or if it's still closed, wherever Sanji is) to check on him. Just to make sure things are, y'know, okay now. Because mad cooking sprees are kind of a cause for alarm.  Moreso than Sleeping Beauty syndrome. Back atcha, chef.

Also, Zoro, hurry up and come home. She wants to have words about certain balancing games played. *_*]

[ She actually manages to grin at Nami's grin. It does sound really ridiculous. ]

Hm. I think I'll pass. You seem busy enough. I think I like the natural environments anyways. There's something homey about them.

[mikangirl]

Less chance of angry winged rhinoceroses out that way, too.

[Innocent face.]

[weaponry]

With Luceti, you just never know... [ turns the tables on your innocent face!!!!!!! ]

[mikangirl]

[Pfft.]

Good point. But if you do see one, let us know. My captain'd probably think they're delicious.

[weaponry]

Something tells me I'm going to skip on that one. I'd rather not have rhino meat on the menu for the next two weeks. [ ...That just sounds gross. ]

[mikangirl]

It's not as bad as you think. Though I suppose it depends on whether you've got a good cook around.

[weaponry]

You've actually had Rhino? [ ...Huh. ] I consider myself a good cook, but, I like cooking with only things that actually sound appealing for consumption. Pachyderms don't sound like they'd be delicious.

[mikangirl]

I think it definitely depends on your chef. But I gotta say, rhino probably isn't the weirdest thing I've eaten. We had dinosaur once, too.

[weaponry]

Dinosaur? [ what? ] Haven't those been dead for like, ever? [ EXPLAIN YOUR SORCERY TO ME, NAMI!!! ]

[mikangirl]

Mostly they are. Some islands on the Grand Line are ...kind of a little lost to time, you might say.

[weaponry]

So they somehow managed to skip mass extinction? [ Her time in Luceti has made this believable. A Tenten from a year ago would have laughed Nami out of the journal system. ): ]

[mikangirl]

In a sense. The Grand Line is made up of a whole bunch of islands with their own climates, ranging from bitterly frozen to incredibly hot, regardless of what the world was doing around them... I guess the climate and geographical makeup of that island was enough that the dinosaurs survived.

[weaponry]

So, in other words, each island is like its own separate universe in terms of composition and history? [ She guesses it makes sense. ] It's like they're a bunch of different worlds, but the sea essentially connects them all, right?

[mikangirl]

That's right! Though the majority of the islands are still what you'd expect islands really to be, with commerce and travel between them, there are still just those odd few that are far removed.

It's...not an island I want to visit again in a hurry. [Too many things trying to eat her.]

[weaponry]

So, some islands are like little nations and others are like little worlds? Interesting. I wonder how some of them get left out.

Ah, and why is that? [ She doesn't know that yet, but she assumes the dinosaurs were easy to kill if she just casually refers to chomping on it. ]

[mikangirl]

A place like that carries a lot of illnesses that have long died out in the rest of the world. I got bitten by a prehistoric bug and nearly died.

[weaponry]

That's awful! I hope you were able to fight it off! I actually didn't think about what would happen if everything just persisted and never evolved... [ There'd probably be things she wouldn't even be prepared for because they're so obscure! ]

[mikangirl]

Yeah, it wasn't my favourite place in the world to visit. But we found a doctor who actually recognised the symptoms on the next island over, so no harm done in the end. We kind of took the doctor with us when we left. [Hee.]

[weaponry]

That's great! I guess that means you'll never have to experience sudden bouts of mysterious illness again? Or at least, your lives won't be in danger when you do! [ Tenten giggles at Nami's giggle. She doesn't get the implications that Kureha and Chopper are different people. Oh well... ]

[mikangirl]

[Too long a story to tell anyway. |D One day she'll introduce you to Chopper. If he ever comes back...]

Nope. Chopper's one of the finest doctors out there. He takes really good care of us.

[weaponry]

Hm! His skills must be similar to Tsunade-sama! She made one of my teammates who couldn't walk and was paralyzed able to walk again! His spine and his left arm and leg were crushed and she totally healed him! She also healed people trapped in illusions and were dealing with mental damage! They say there's nothing she can't heal! [ She's a total fangirl here. ]

[mikangirl]

Really? That's pretty impressive. [...she's not sure if Chopper can do that, actually. At least, not without added assistance.] Does she use healing magic at all?

[weaponry]

She does. She speeds up the body's natural healing process with chakra, but her prowess in this field is so legendary, that she can even heal limbs whose use and livelihood have been confiscated and sealed by the grim reaper himself by a forbidden technique. With my teammate and making him walk again, I think she just did normal surgery. [ Which is still pretty damn impressive. ]

[mikangirl]

[Whistles.] Is she here in Luceti? Some of us could use a doctor like that around.
