[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.]

Of course that's enough time! [Though to be certain, not having to factor in the labor it would take to feed Luffy certainly helps, bless that shitty, bottomless pit of a captain.]

And I doubt I'll have a problem finding someone... Though I expect a quarter of the shitty town to show up anyway. [Vivi does seem to get around]

We've had a few interesting people throw their hands in for it. Even Perona gets on with Vivi, it seems.

[We don't think much of Perona. :|]

[Sanji knows Namis do not think much of Peronas, or vice versa. It's why he suddenly wishes there was a fast forward button on this conversation.]

M-must be Vivi-chan's natural charm~! No one can resist, right?

[What was that stutter, Sanji.

...

.../sideeye.]

No, I can see why not. That beautiful pink hair, that cute gothic attitude. It's enough for anyone to fall head over heels.

[Nodding, nodding, humming along in agreement... he does have a fondness for pink, and Sanji's gotta admit there's something attractive about the gothic look. Not everyone could pull that style off--]

-- Wait a--

[Who are they talking about again? *_*

Shit.]

I-I mean, sure, if you like that type of thing! [Waving his hands] What I meant was, with someone as nice and perfect as Vivi-chan, I bet even Perona-chan can't help but... y'know...

Sanji-kun.

[Ever get the sense of a looming navigator despite her being nowhere in the vicinity?]

[That might be the reason Sanji froze in place before defrosting and looking over his shoulder]

N-Nami-san, I swear to you--!!

... [slaaaaaaaapping an extra filter on this to keep everyone else out, just in case]

It's not like that!... Exactly...

[Oho? Nami was just going to be mean about Sanji's...typical reaction to women everywhere, really. 8|a This new filter and reaction makes her blink at him.]

Then what is it like?

[At least she only sounds curious? 8D?]

[He really can't help but be nervous in light of the situation. His antics aside, Nami's approval means a lot to him and Perona is... well, she's Perona. Deep down he firmly believes she's a lovely person, but you have to swallow some of that ... unique personality to get to that.]

Well, I-- I'm pretty sure she... likes me...

Or something like that!

[...

...we are talking about Perona here, right. The one that makes Nami look like Mother Theresa with her sass and bitchiness.]

You sure she's not just taking advantage of you?

[Given she's an expert on this. >_>]

No, it's not that. [he says this with authority, as one who willingly throws himself at a woman's feet, expecting her to milk him for all he's worth.]

It started because of the that shitty mistletoe... and then shit happened -- I mean, not that kind of shit. A different kind.

And then she kissed me again.

[DO YOU FOLLOW HIM, NAMI?]

[Mistletoe. Oh good god... Nami twitches at the images springing to mind. But Sanji would know the difference between real interest and advantage, wouldn't he...?

Not quite sure. 8| But benefit of doubt, okay.

Perona? Even if the girl is genuine, that's a disaster waiting to happen.]

She's technically our enemy, you know.

[... Blink blink]

Eh? I wouldn't call her that, Nami-san -- not since she took care of the shithead for two years, anyway.

[Blinkblink. That's news.]

...she did?

[A small nod and smile] I don't know the shitty details myself, but when we regrouped at Sabaody, the reason Zoro got there first - and at all - is because Perona-chan led him there.

[Meaning Zoro's shitty number system was totally invalid, thank you very much, buuuut that's not the point]

[There follows the vaguely disconcerted silence of someone who's realised she doesn't have all the facts but but but snotty banter about and to Perona is just so much fun, gosh...

...though seriously, that's interesting to hear.]

Hmm. I'll have to ask her about it. At the very least, maybe we can have fun mocking Zoro.

That does seem to be one of her favorite pastimes~! [Pause] That, and shopping...

[srsly she and Nami could probably make an entire day of that: shopping and Marimo baiting.]

Ah, shopping! She does have great taste in clothes! [Nami should know, she stole them all. >_>] Maybe we could make a day of it and share all kinds of gossip~!

[There's nothing ominous about that last part at all.]

[Yaaaaaaaaay, this is going so much better than he--]

[record-scratch]

Gossip??

[... D8]

Well, I mean-- I guess there is that too, Nami-san! [That is not a look a fear crossing his expression. No of course not]

You two could gossip... all... day...

Edited 2013-03-07 07:44 (UTC)

Mmhmm. [Nami lazily smooths a nail down as if only half listening.] All day is an excellent idea, Sanji-kun. After all, there's clearly a lot that's been going on that I have no clue about. I'm behind the times. That won't do at all.

It started with mistletoe, you say?

[Yep.

Now he's really blushing.

This is what happens when he associates mistletoe with both very good and horrendously bad memories, and it all comes rushing back like a migraine.

Well, that, and having to own up to what's been happening the last few months. Nami-san, don't be mad at him. ;;]

I-- [A sudden frown] Actually, it started with that shitty little elf who kept insisting I needed to spread some holiday cheer. [Grumble] Bastard stuck mistletoe right over our heads when we weren't looking.

[Oh, don't get him wrong. He enjoyed the kiss, just not the ensuing awkward.]

But then I went to drop off her Christmas gift and she-- [Okay this is annoying. He rubs at one of his cheeks in woeful distaste.] Ah, well, there actually wasn't mistletoe that second time.

[Nami's...not exactly sure what to think. On the one hand, it'd be nice if Sanji could find some kind of happiness here with a girl. On the other, it's Perona. But if she's not really an enemy anymore...

Hnn. Unsure. But.]

Takes two to kiss, Sanji-kun. How do you feel?

... I'm still trying to figure that out.
