4th Wall

[mikangirl]

[And then there was a navigator

Sitting by the fountain

And sipping a lemonade



...which might be spiked, because Luceti goes better with alcohol these days, but nevertheless

She's just sitting there, watching the crowds.

Who the hell are you lot, then.]

[Oh, we know. We're all sorts of different people, here to crash your quaint little village one step at a time. 8| ...but not all of them mean to do that. Not really. In fact, there's some who have some pressing matters back in their world, and being swept back into Luceti was not on the agenda.

And with no wings, either.

Behind Nami, there's a yell, followed by a splash of water that's sure to hit her -- and emerging from the shallow depths is (1) blonde girl.

Staring. Wide-eyed. Big entrance aside, the owner of that red hair looks surprisingly familiar... which is to say, she's temporarily lost the ability to speak.




Hi.]

[mikangirl]

[THAT MAKES TWO OF US THEN NOEL ;_; Nami's just gonna stare back with her mouth open for a bit, 'kay. Woman, you had better be here for longer than a few days--]

Noel?

{There, improvement. She actually managed a name. 8|]

don't mind my need for more than 15 icons... ;~;

[cloudlesssky]

[Noel's mouth is practically hanging open. Aside from now being soaking wet at the end of January, having literally fallen from the sky to achieve that plunge, this wasn't... Noel didn't expect...

Yet, despite all this time away, she already knew.]

Na... Nami?

[She hesitates, almost, but the memories are crashing in. Nami. Nami. Her friend.

And now Noel is smiling. How could she forget it?]

No way... is that really you? I'm not dreaming, am I?

I don't mind at all ;w;

[mikangirl]

Noel!

[Soaking wet at the end of January might end up being bad for both of them, given Nami's practically half tumbling into the fountain in order to give you a hug. Splash. Well, up to her knees anyway.] I missed you so much!

Good, because there will be plenty. ;w;!

[cloudlesssky]

[Noel may be sopping wet at this point, but she'll still manage to get back up on her feet to quickly return the hug. One well-earned hug that's been months overdue.]

I've missed you, too! [Does it count? Noel almost feels bad that she just remembered, but... well, nevermind that. She remembers now.] It feels like it's been forever since I last saw you! I-I... [O-Oh, she might be tearing up...]

...how long has it been? What's happened? How are you? You have to tell me everything!

[mikangirl]

It's been nearly three months. [Nami is tearing up ahdfasdfa but she's sort of grinning madly anyway, so what can you do. Excuse her, just gonna kind of haul both of them out of the water and handing Noel her coat.]

You left, Ragna left not far behind you-- heck, I left the day after you did, but I came back because the Malnosso have a wonderful sense of humour like that. Since then I've kind of been... out of town. I only just came back. So this is lucky!

[And not a convenience of the mun's at all!] What about you? Is everything okay at home?

[cloudlesssky]

[The extra coat is appreciated, because damn if it wasn't cold and they weren't both drenched. And it's just-- god, she can't stop smiling, can't she? Three months... that wasn't as long as she almost thought it would be.

Even with their whole reunion at hand, however, that smile inevitably falters at the mention of her home world.]

If memory serves me correctly, only a month had passed since I returned to my own world. [She fidgets slightly, looking from the ground back to Nami again; some habits never quite die.] It's... a lot has happened since then.

[mikangirl]

[Wow Noel that's sort of formal, Nami's thinking no shit on the 'a lot has happened' part.] You can tell me about it when we get somewhere warm. C'mon, Seventh Heaven is nearby, Sanji-kun will love to see you!
