[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.]

[action]
Oh. Yes. [Her expression turns a touch more somber.] He was gone for a long time--longer than that usually lasts, and I-- [She pauses to take a slow breath, shaking her head.] He's back now. He says he went back home, for a little while. Not as long as the rest of you. [From the events he'd described, it sounded like he was very near the same time Vivi had come here from.]
[action]
That's something, I guess. [The reply is almost lost under the cloth, so quiet and vacant it sounds. But the dress is off, and Nami unabashedly helps herself to one of Vivi's prettier shirts before sliding the jeans on, looking a little more fashionable.] And how are you?
[Because you weren't so healthy when she left.]
[action]
I suppose it was just a lot to recover from, so it took a while...
[action] 1/2
...mmm.
[action]
Well, as long as you've got the energy for an extended shopping trip. [Back on goes the coat.] Shall we?
[action]
[She smiles, reaching up to refasten her ponytail neatly, then heads from her room to the entryway where her own coat is hanging.] Clothes shop first?
[action]
Clothes shop first. If I'm going to be stuck here again, let's make sure I'm stuck here in style.
[action]
Of course! I could get some things myself... [Fashion isn't exactly a high priority for the princess, but heck, it's not as if she dislikes clothes shopping. She giggles, holding up a finger.] Maybe we should each pick out an outfit for each other. That would be fun, wouldn't it?
[action]
[So innocent.]
[action]
[She giggles and impulsively links arms with Nami, glad to have her friend close at hand again.] It'll be a lot of fun. [Nod.]
[action]
It will. [Firmly. Fuck all the seriousness.] Let's go turn the shop upside down.
[action]
[The bell of the shop rings merrily as they enter, and Vivi's already scanning the racks for the sorts of things she had in mind.] Shall we split up? It might be more fun if what we pick out is a surprise.
[action]
[Off she goes. |D]
