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. *_*]

...me too. As an adult, anyway. She was proud...

[She trails off. It still hurts to think of Bellemere having been here, but it's not one she minds suffering. But let's find a less delicate subject.]

...anyway. Alexei and I have got on reasonably well since. He made the first real pinwheels for the orchard.

[Vivi offers a nod as Nami trails off; she may not know exactly how it feels, no, but she understands. She smoothly catches the conversational hook Nami dangles.]

Did he? I didn't know that. [She laughs lightly, but with fondness.] That's not something I would've expected...I suppose he's a surprising person.

I met him first when-- [She pauses, casting back over a year to their first encounter, trying to remember where they'd all been at the time. Ah, yes; Nami hadn't been around then, still captive of the Malnosso herself.] ...it was when I was returned, after the first time I'd been kidnapped. He helped me get home. [A journey made difficult, if not impossible, to make on her own thanks to the condition she'd been returned in. A scant few inches high, she'd encountered Alexei in the forest and he'd carried her home.]

[She ducks slightly, pushing up a low-hanging branch along their path. Strange how far away that time seemed now.]

I think I remember you telling me that. [Either that or Alexei did, she can't remember. She reaches up to take hold of the same branch as Vivi moves on, lowering it back gently behind them.] I wasn't there at the time, was I? [She has a feeling she was on a mission or with the scientists, or... oh wait.]

That's right. I was being a magpie at the time.

[And tried to kidnap you. WHOOPS.]

Ah. Yes, that happened not long after, I think.

Do you remember much of that? ...I think you meant to keep me as a pet. [Looking back on it now, it's fairly amusing, though at the time it had been more than just a bit inconvenient.]

...I remember enough.

[A-ahaha.] Magpies have a horrible diet.

[Shudder. Vivi remembers too. Especially the part where Nami seemed more than willing to share her delightful earthworm bounty with the diminutive princess.]

...please don't remind me. I think if I hand't gotten down from that nest, I would've been sharing your meals with you.

Hey, spare some sympathy for the girl who actually ate those things for weeks.

At least you were a bird at the time. They must have seemed appealing then.

I try not to think about that part so much.

[Reputation to maintain and all ;;]

Understandable, I think. [She won't mention the apparent relish with which she saw Namipie gobble down nightcrawlers.]

[I THINK THIS CALLS FOR A CHANGE OF SUBJECT]

Ahh, if you haven't talked to Guy much, you should come into the bar when we're both working. I think he'd enjoy meeting you.

Of course! I'd like to meet him, too. When should I stop in?

Most evenings, he's on. We can go down there and make a night of it, what do you think?
