[Action/Voice] Forward dated to the 19th
[Nami comes back to Luceti with a bang.
...literally. Because the first indication of her arrival on the networks is her journal hitting a tree at high velocity. The journal window won't pick up more than a whole bunch of dizzily swirling forest scenery and then a bare, reddened foot as she kicks it afterwards for good measure. Then she just abandons it in the grass and stalks off. Incredibly useful contribution to the journals, isn't it? Sorry about that.
She's not really in any hurry to go home, and in no hurry to go announcing herself through town, but she is cold. So after some indecision, she heads for the Avatar house instead, knocking hesitantly on the door in her New Feather dress in search of warmth and other things.
A little while later, having borrowed a coat and some shoes and feeling a little more herself, she heads for home, letting herself in quietly and... sort of standing there and listening for voices, noise, anything. Then she'll come say hi. Sort of.
Whether she stays there or not after that, who knows? But she does eventually make a journal entry in the evening, borrowing someone else's. She's not cruel enough to pretend she's not here when there are friends in town.]
[Voice]
Shirahoshi, are you still here? I remember you, now. Just thought I’d let you know.
For everyone else... hi. I'm back. Again. All that. Business as usual, I guess.
[She sounds cheerful enough. Just tired.]

At least that's how it goes for Ace. I imagine some of the details would be different for you, but the principle concept would be the same, eh.
[Video]
Ace actually does that?
[Video]
[This is not helping his case, is it?] You have to try the blanket fort before you can say anything otherwise.
Besides he used to just mope alone in a corner and then fly into rages and attack Pops. This is really much better. At least when we carry each other outside now the other one actually goes instead of fighting back.
[....]
[Whitebeard pirates: no one ever said they aren't special.]
[Video]
Why? I mean... why attack his captain? [She's missing a fair chunk of history.]
[Video]
Pops wasn't his captain back then, eh.
Ace never told you how he first met Jinbei? Mah, all right. Fireworks first came to us trying to kill Pops. We stole him instead.
Don't get me wrong, he's damned loyal to the old man, but it took him a little while to realize he didn't have to kill Pops in order to achieve his dreams. He's a funny kid like that sometimes.
[Video]
[She's teasing, though there's a faintly wistful note there. Or maybe it's just nostalgia.]
[Video]
How do you think we got Izou? Although Izou is actually Vista's fault. Ah those were the days... Vista's mustache was always telling him to capture fair maidens, that's how we got most of Pops' nurses you see, but then one day he captured Izou, of course he thought Izou was a fair maiden -- that's why I call him "Trap-chan." And that was when we knew we had to put Vista into therapy...
[Um. No. This all lies. Ignore the crazy pirate.]
[Video]
[Video]
[You might just want to interrupt him because when it comes to
talkinglyingtelling stories about his crew he could go on forever.][Video]
[Video]
And that is why we never let Ace eat soup alone.
[See what an awesome story you might have missed out on?]
[Video]
[Video]
Never mind how dangerous that is, he turns into fire around the wooden boats, so even if he mistimes that jump just a little, he won't even have another ship to stand on!
[Folds his arms and huffs, every bit the
mother henoverprotective big brother Ace can't seem to escape.][Video]
[Video]
Nothing like Marco going on forever about Ace at all. Nope!]What really? But they're so alike! We all knew Luffy had to be the kid brother Ace always talked about. They have that same sort of rash refusal to let anything slow them down, eh? Even if their obstacle is just simple physics, or reality.
Let me ask you this, does your captain ever nearly give you a heart attack with his -- [Crazy rash thirst for getting into the most dangerous situation possible, like breaking into Impel Down, showing up at Marineford with former enemies and surrounded by powers way over his head? What's a better way to put that....] -- let's say: "reckless disregard for personal safety in the pursuit of a single-minded goal and dangerous adventures?" [It's not quite tactful, but it's the best he can come up with for now.]
[Video]
[Video]
Only with the rare chosen few. His family aren't often privileged with them.
[Waves a hand.] I can't completely say that, since he's definitely good about remembering them around the house and for meals.... most of the time.
From what I understand, Ace is more like his mother and a friend named Makino, and Luffy got all the Garp side in that respect.
[Video]
...though I notice they all fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
[Video]
You should see how much Ace and... ah... other Ds could through together. [Marco glances away, he almost said Blackbeard. Huh. Old habits die hard, but how could he have forgotten that enough to nearly laugh about a good memory? Oh well... He looks back at Nami with a grin.]
At least it makes it really easy to know what to get Ace for his birthday, eh? Fireworks and lots of food. I swear if we just gave him a seaking, he'd roast it and eat it whole.
[Video]
[Video]
He kept it all inside when he saw you guys before?
[Video]
[Video]
We sent him hunting, so I guess he took it very seriously. Though I wish he'd had more time to just stop now and then to have fun.
[Gives her a small wry grin.] I guess he's got that here, eh?
[Video]
[Video]
[He's actually quite vehement about that.] But perhaps that is my own selfishness. He wants to see Luffy happy, I just want to see Ace happy.
