[Nami's been MIA for a while, now. No big hassle-- close CR might know she went camping for various strange reasons. They may or may not involve a series of experiments and cruelty to various animals (it's all in the name of Science(TM)!!) and possibly cruelty to the odd wandering swordsman that happens to cross her path.

She's found out some interesting things. Although admittedly, they're likely only interesting to her as a weather geek. Nothing that will help her get home. Which sucks. But what can you do. She thinks she might pass on the results to a few select people anyway. Just in case.

Mindful of the date, she finally comes home just before the weekend, and if she's missing a couple of days from her memory after that, she just doesn't care. She's probably better off forgetting. So ignore that for now.

What matters more than that is her best friend has a birthday coming up.]

[Voice / Locked from Vivi]

I know Vivi has a few friends in town and I don't know who they all are, so I thought I'd just make a general announcement. It's her birthday on the 2nd of February, and I'm going to take her up to the hot springs for the day. I'd really, really love it if any friends she has can come up for that day, too. She won't mention her birthday, so... you know. I can manage this much. She'd be pretty happy to see people there.

Bring food and drink and anything else you like?

...

Also, I'll be at Good Spirits tonight if anyone wants to catch up. Been a while.

[So catch her either at home or around town, because she'll go shopping as well-- she's been gone a while. And in the evening, she'll be at Good Spirits.]

[Nami first gives the other girl a Look. It's almost possessive in its who are you to call her Vivi-chan?

It's kneejerk, and it softens after a moment to a kind of affected disinterest. Vivi can make what friends she likes, after all. Maybe it'll even make Perona likable.]

What, you can't come up to the springs and give her your gift in person?

[hollower]

[Pah, what the hell is with that look? Perona sneers right back, her eyebrows knitting together as her lips thin into a very fine line - she's not in the mood, Pirate Woman, don't start - but she exhales with a blink after Nami speaks. Hah...that went better than she expected. Very well, then.]

...If you'll be gracious enough to have me.

[mikangirl]

If you're a friend of Vivi's, you're welcome to come. What my feelings are have nothing to do with it. Come up around noon.

[But honestly she doesn't much care either way. It's not like Perona tried ruining Nami's party last year, so eh.]

[hollower]

All right then, I will.

[And that's that, isn't it? She doesn't exactly like the tone of voice Nami's giving her, and she'd love to mess with a sour grape like her big time just to show her who's boss, but...meh. Not worth it. And Perona doesn't care so much so long as she doesn't run into Nami more than is necessary. That's the best course of action and it's served them well up until this point.]

[mikangirl]

Good. You do that.

[And she turns her attention to other people. >:|]
