[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.

...
...a tom--]  KYAA!   Someone get me out of here! There are tombs everywhere and scorpions and something glo--

..../crickets. Singsong voice.]

Never mind!

-- [Journal slam.]



[...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.]

[Damn woman. He's heard you scream, but not that loud.] I didn't know you were down here!

[Maybe he wanted to have a crocodile pit! All bad guys have crocodile pits!]

[mikangirl]

[THAT ISN'T HELPING YOUR CASE. >E She keeps her distance from the crocodiles, eyeing them suspiciously, but honestly she was mainly startled. They're not bananawani.]

I fell a couple of...

...actually, what is the time? [She may have lost track >_> Don't mind the piles of treasure that appear to be behind her, aha.]

[fallenambitions]

[Alexei will be knocking down what few crocs there are nearby]

It's half past 7 now. How long were you...[Treasure spotted. Was that there before...?]

[mikangirl]

Oh, only a couple of hours. [She looks faintly relieved.] Well, no harm done. Ahh, but I haven't found a way back up yet.

[Not that she's been looking.]

[fallenambitions]

A couple of hours? [...And she hadn't said anything that whole time? :|;; Let's forget that Alexei wasn't near the journal when she said something |D]

I'm not sure if we can get out the same way we came. [He glances back and up towards the opening they came into and then back to the all the gold laying around.]

Has this all been here, or is this part of the experiment too?

Sob I am terrible.

[mikangirl]

I'd assume it's part of the experiment. Which means it'll all vanish eventually, I guess. [She sighs heavily. And dramatically. Before grinning at him.] But a girl can dream, right?

Nah, we can blame it on Nami being distracted by the gold this whole time

[fallenambitions]

Be careful that your dream doesn't get you in trouble. [Like we're in right now. He's walking towards all the gold to see if there's some other passage out. The gold is...nice, but useless to him.]

We should start focusing on getting out.

sounds good to me $_$

[mikangirl]

Why?
