[The announcement doesn't come until she's tracked down what's left of her crew and paid a visit to Ace and Sabo to inform them in person. She could wish Sanji and Zoro were here, because she winces at the idea of them finding out on the grapevine before they even return home. But it can't be helped.

Besides, maybe he'll be back before they return. He always has before.

She can hope he isn't.]

[Voice]

For those that knew him, Luffy has gone home. [She sounds perfectly calm, if a little distant.] He didn't leave anything, so... wish him well.

Have you considered investing in "curse insurance" policies, Nami-san?

[weakahoshi]

L- Luffy's really gone gone this time? Maybe he'll be back in a few weeks...

[Nothing]

[deathsdoctor]

[There's the sound of a book closing. Gone home for now. They're almost always back... no matter the interval of time between.

What says it'll be any different now.

(Despite the disappearance occurring outside of New Feather season.)

It likely won't. The only question remains is if Law himself will see his return, or perhaps he will be gone himself if that occurs. Bitter thoughts for a bitter man.

For the first time, home has never felt this far.]

[Robin is in her room for once, or at least there past a certain time in the morning. Though she's not sure why. Sanji and Zoro both gone. The threads of their bonds seemed to be unwinding strand by strand and she wonders if it is Luceti that will finally make them snap]

Luffy?

[Luffy'd been a great friend. But at least with what he heard from others had led him to think he had a chance back home. He was going to make it, make his dream come true. It just cost Aang one dear friend here.]

I'm gonna miss him.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[He's quiet. He needs to get... what? Books and booze for Sabo and Ace respectively? What would help them? Anything? They wanted Luffy to succeed further on the Grand Line. And at least Nami and Straw Hat's crew would be with him. And the next time they saw Luffy again, he'd be closer to achieving his dream. One part joy, one part sorrow for his brothers who had that much more distance to see it from.]

Cheers to the future King.

[One step at a time. Little bit by little bit.]

Nami...

...I'm sorry. I know he wouldn't have wanted to leave without all of you. Let us know if you guys need anything.

[No, he doesn't expect an answer, but he couldn't just not say ANYTHING.]

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

[Another one? That isn't fair at all to Nami, not after what she's already been through.]

I'm sure he'll do great things back at home.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[While Richard won't say anything in response, there will be a knock on the door a short time after Nami makes her announcement.]

[action] wow, am I ever late.

[hiken_ace]

[When Ace hears a knock on the door of their apartment, he casually moves to go open the door. But he's a bit surprised to see Nami there.] Hey, Nami. What's up?

Suuuuper forward dated >> <<

[concasse]

[The door to the house opens with a soft click on the 22nd, hours past sunset, at a time when every sane person free of insomnia or nightmares should be asleep. It's a state Sanji hopes to slip into soon, having returned exhausted and wishing for nothing besides a hot cup of tea and a warm bed. He'll skip a shower; that can wait for the morning, along with appropriate relief at having been allowed to come home right before Christmas.

Though he still takes a moment to lean against the closed door and just rest a second before single mindedness steers him into the kitchen.

Right, tea. Tea then bed. Then he's sleeping all the way until ten (the crew will just have to forgive his tardiness).]
