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. *_*]

So he... poisoned you? [It's a pretty safe guess to make, she thinks.]

[He nods.]

I would have died if Lambda hadn't interfered.

[...bastard. She's glad she's being told this story well after the fact, so she can at least know this story has a ...semi-happy ending, maybe.]

I'm glad, then. Another friend?

[Ahaha >>]

... I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than that. Do you remember what I told you when we were on our date?

[Being Richard is suffering.]

[Nami blinks. A date ten months ago, but it's not hard to remember the gist of--

--oh. Oh. Idiot. Lambda. She cringes. That's not exactly a wonderful rescue from poisoning.]

So... you kind of went from bad to worse.

Perhaps, but at least I was alive. I'm grateful for that much now. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't be here today.

[Even if he now has countless things he needs to make restitution for, he's alive. That counts for something.]

I guess support comes in all forms of ways, huh? Some you have to pay for more than others.

[He nods.]

And I will pay back the debt I owe to everyone-- I've made a vow that I won't rest until I've made restitution for my deeds.

How will you do it?

[Which isn't an accusation. She's legitimately curious.]

Part of it will be to repay the actual debt that my actions have caused all three countries. As for the rest... I want to help create a world without conflict, so that no one else will have to suffer because of war or politics ever again. Conflicts and power struggles have already hurt far too many people. If I can do even the smallest thing to help prevent that, then I will.

That's a pretty tall order.

[She smiles.] But I guess you're in a position to do it.

That's what I'm hoping. I suppose my position does have a few perks after all.

You've got friends to help you? [She's thinking of Asbel.]

More than I'd ever expected to have.

[And he means it-- he hadn't had ANY friends as a child, so having so many now was sort of amazing.]

Good. Things get so much easier when someone has your back. And we can't exactly follow you home.

Perhaps not, but you might still be able to visit some time, if that day earlier this year was any indication.

That could be interesting. I'm almost sorry I missed that whole thing.

You weren't there when it happened?

I was away on a mission. Came back in the aftermath.

You didn't miss much if you weren't one of the people sent home. From what I hear, the only thing that happened in the village that day was the mass disappearance.

Yeah, I heard about that. And then everyone came back convinced they were really from somewhere else.

Yes, that was the other part of it-- unfortunately, that aspect wasn't nearly as exciting. Those people didn't realize that anything was strange at all. It was just business as usual to them.

Hah,I know. Sanji-kun thought he was from Xion's world. [She still feels a small cringe every time she remembers how he looked at her at the front door.] I'm glad it didn't last.

As am I, though it was rather amusing to see Isamu thinking that he came from Ephinea.

Oh, did he? Did he think he was related?
