[Well, at least this experiment gives Nami plenty of ways to vent and keep busy. In between running escort duty and interference in the Ganglands area for both Nojiko and Good Spirits, there's the small issue of her mikan grove now being part of the searing desert... so she's up there every night providing cool, sweet rainy relief for the mikan trees, the grasses, and the crocodiles.

Get out! OUT! OUT!
[Why yes, she is chasing a bunch of crocodiles out of her grove back to the river with a crackling quarterstaff, why do you ask. Anyone for fried crocodile meat? >_>
Catch her either in the plaza in her ganglands finery beating up on the local thugs or drinking or maybe just. You know, having a cupcake in a quiet period. Or up at the orchard in the evenings, dressed like an Alabastan dancing girl and basking in the extremely localised rain. Such is life.]

[On the third evening, she makes a post as something occurs to her, walking through the orchard and swinging her staff casually on crocodile patrol.]
[Voice]
Is there anyone else who's got a garden stuck in a desert area? If you need it I could provide you with some extraaaaIEEEAAA--
[Thud. Crunch. Slide. Mud everywhere. Small, pathetic sound of pain. You try falling right through a sinkhole into a tomb and see how you feel.

Never mind!

[...SO BASICALLY Nami is lost in a tomb but she doesn't care because there's GOLD in them there crypts, but you know. She probably needs a rescue anyway. Or company. Or someone else who fell in. Or someone who just got...hopelessly lost... heck, while we're down here may as well see if there's any of those scavenger hunt items, right? Amidst the monsters and the booby traps. Aheh. 8D Come on down.]

[action] because we don't have enough ongoing threads
In the three days he spent wandering, he'd actually gathered quite a few of the scavenger hunt items. A robot part he'd picked up off the ground, a bone spear from when those cave guys tried to murder him and ended up leaving a few of their weapons stuck in his coat, a katana (that wasn't his), and the tommy gun he'd accidentally stolen after smacking its owner across the face with it during a bar fight. If you counted the Smilodon tooth still lodged in his upper arm, that made for half the list! And he wasn't even trying! Hah. He was going to win this and it would be completely by accident! Because that was something to be proud of, somehow.
It's at the height of his useless self-congratulating that Zoro trips over a rock, tumbles down a sand dune, hits a bigger rock, and ends up falling through a giant hole in the ground. Scavenger hunt items and all.
Watch out for falling moss, Nami.]
[action] never enough (yea)
...or she would if somebody large and heavy and moss-haired didn't just fall on her from far above]
Aah!! [NO HER PRECIOUS BALANCE HOSHIT please hold, there's navigator sort of wrapping around you in an attempt to stop you from both falling into a bunch of scorpions. Too dark to work out who this is, she'll just screech close by one ear.] Do you mind?
[action] tag addiction is a serious medical condition, y'know
... and eerily familiar. Even unmindful of the dangers surrounding him, Zoro squints through the darkness and realizes--]
Nami? What are you doing here? [Besides casually trying to keep them from experiencing a nasty double-death, he means. Fancy seeing you underground!]
[action] I know I'm seeking therapy for it 1/3
[action]
[action]
--not to worry Zoro, she just grabbed a limb or your hair or something and heaved back :Db You're in good hands! And probably... kind of dangling a ilttle precariously. Also possibly painfully.]
Goddammit!
[action]
You tripped on that rock too, huh.
[action]
[She'll summon electricity to the end of her staff, lighting up the room with a lovely crackling strobe effect to show dozens to hundreds of skittering poisonous bodies.]
[action]
That's a lot of scorpions. [/not-bad obama face] What did you do?
[action]
{There was this golden scorpion statue on a pedestal, see...]
Anyway, we need to get out of here.
[action]
I'll cut us a way out. [He draws his sword in a way that suggests lots of careless, untold destruction. Because that is clearly the best way to get out of a rickety old temple.]
[action]
[action]
Yeah, that's why I was going to collapse the ceiling. Don't tell me you want to do it.
