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. *_*]

[Ah the "advantages" to a world where archaeological history actually informs on modern politics. While there are certainly government cover-ups of war crimes, it's not the kind of thing Fujiko bothers digging it up. It wouldn't do anything except make her more of a target if she did anyway.]

You can get more about history from books in my world though. I guess going to the places in person is more authentic, like the difference between reading travel books and actually going there, but even then, it's not like you're really going back in time. [Shrugs. Whatever. History nerds are like all other nerds in her book, just exchanging one specific kink for another.]

I'll stick with something where the rewards are more tangible~

You and me both. Give me a nice treasure map or a city of gold any day.

[All the excited!]

You found El Dorado too?!

Not quite... ours wasn't actually made out of gold. And it wasn't called that. [But Nami knows the myth of El Dorado by now. She's been reading.] The city itself was just stone, but the gold we pulled out of the place was worth over 300 million beri.

Ours neither. Just plated. But every rooftop was covered in tiles of gold! I could only get away with a couple though. The whole thing was set to fall apart and Lupin wouldn't let me get more. [Not that she shared the ones she got out with either....]

If you met and remember Murasaki when she was here, it was her family's clan's to protect. At least that's the Japanese one. We never found the South American El Dorado, unfortunately.

How much is about 300 million beri worth?

I don't think I met Murasaki. [Though the name does sound familiar.] 300 million? Well... it was more than enough for a new ship, money left over to buy all the extras we wanted. And throw a huge party, apparently. [Much against her better wishes, that last one. Who the hell spends 100 million on a party?]

That must have been one hell of a party.

[So less than yen? Really, it's hard to judge. Especially the way Fujiko, Lupin & co. go through money like water.]

What kind of ship did you get?

A wonderful one. It's a brigantine sloop with a grass lawn deck and a huge kitchen and an aquarium and a deliciously huge bathtub. And it's made out of the most legendary wood known to man, so it'll keep up with us in the Grand Line no matter how many times Luffy tries to crash it into an iceberg.

Nice. I assume you at least try to avoid the icebergs? That is how the Titanic sunk, after all.

But I can see where that might run close to El Dorado prices. [Nods to herself.]

Trust me, I'm probably the only one on that ship that tries to sail it safely.

That's disconcerting. [Nami, Nami... never watch how Fujiko drives. She makes Luffy look very safety-conscientious when it comes to speedboats.]

And given that legendary wood you were talking about, it's gotta be expensive to repair I take it?

[She'll keep that in mind, should she ever realise that fact beyond brackets.]

Probably. But it hasn't taken a single dent yet. And given what we put it through, that's pretty strong wood.

[~~Ngl that cracked me up.~~ See? You're a smart woman indeed Nami.]

Whoa, seriously? All right, then just make sure you straight through the icebergs, don't swerve; if the unthinkable should ever happen. The Grand Line is pretty tropical though, right?

[She just assumes it's like the Equator.]

It's all over the place, actually. Each island has its own magnetic field and climate.

What... but... how is that possible?

[Grand Line is science. No one ever told Fujiko. Remind her about devil fruits though and she probably won't question it.]

Honestly? I have no clue. It breaks all the laws of nature and weather I grew up with.

Not even the rest of your world is like that?! That's extra weird!

I know, right? There's something weird about that section of the ocean, I guess. Maybe one day we'll find out what it is.

Currents or... those fruit things or something?

I daresay the devil fruits... well, I'm not sure if they're part of the cause or part of the effect.

That's... really confusing. I'm kind of glad I'm not from your world after all.

[Actually, she'd probably love it, but whatever, she doesn't know!]

It's difficult enough just learning all the science for how my world works. And then this place too.

Is everything in that ocean crazy like that?

Pretty much. You tend to just learn to roll with the crazy stuff after a while.

I can't imagine. Is it like having a shift go on all the time?

...not quite as insane. Plus you never suddenly fall in love with someone else.

What, no magic fruits that cause that on people? [She just sounds amused by the idea.]
