Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: The Iskaulit
When: Broadcast 12th / Action anywhere from 3rd -12th probably

[In light of certain updates from certain hunters, Nami is trying really, really hard not to take her impressive temper out on the person who's effectively her roommate on the Bloodsport.  But being angry and trying to convince yourself not to lash out at someone you think may deserve it but might not so let's be nice about it doesn't really help your mood any.  Nami doesn't want to lay into Cas.  So Nami avoids Cas.  Just for a little while.  Because she respects their friendship enough not to damage it in a fit of anger, but also because she thinks trying to punch an angel might be bad for her hand.  You know.

So Nami is avoiding the Bloodsport.  Which isn't that hard when you've somehow found yourself working at both bars on the Iskaulit.  She pulls all the extra shifts she can, keeps busy, works her temper off in fits and starts, and devotes some of her extra time to visiting the gardens to see how her mikan saplings are going, and generally explores what the Iskaulit has to offer.

Really, you can find her drinking at a bar, behind a bar, or anywhere else on the ship.  Pick your poison.]

-----

[Today she's not working but lurking at the bar anyway, picking away at snacks and going through her comm and trying to find ways to waste time.  So.  Lucky network, have a bored navigator.]

Paradisa.  Adstringendum.  Luceti.  [Kyriakos, she nearly adds, but nobody's officially given her that one.]  They're all fun places, so I hear.   Are there others?  I'm curious to see if they have anything in common.

....

...has anyone ever died on the Fleet?

And I guess if that's too morbid for you:  pirates or ninjas? 

[...Nami.  Either be serious or don't.  Or-- have another drink.  That works.]

MarinaNova.

[The next question isn't too morbid for her, but she doesn't have an answer for it. While she was supposed to die at home, she never died in the prison or here so she'll skip down to the last one.]

Ninjas. [Oops?]

Video

[namisan]

[There's a faint snort of amusement.]

Well, you're the first girl I've met who likes them. [Thanks to Oda's hideously horrendous gender stereotyping.] Any particular reason?

[She'll come back to MarinaNova in a second-- just writing it down on her shortlist now.]

[passingthrough]

Used to have a ninja roommate. [Some of her training employs similar martial arts too, but it's such a mixed style. Itachi is the better reason.]

[save_the_souls]

I know I've heard of other places than just those three. Um...Kyriakos was one, I believe.

Also pirates.

[namisan]

[Thank you, Allen. Now she can add it to her list without feeling like so much of a jerk.]

Good choice! [Such approval.] You've been here a long time, haven't you? At least a year.

Video

[save_the_souls]

[HE TRIES. And he smiles at the approval. Ninjas are okay but pirates are just rad man]

Yeah, about a year and a half now.

[theirinurpants]

What's a ninja?

video;

[namisan]

Depends on who you ask. I've never met one, and I'm not even sure they exist. [Says the girl who's met Ino. Whoops.] Warriors who fight from the shadows and use all kinds of weird tricks and illusions. My crew seem to think the idea of them is amazing.

[theirinurpants]

Huh. They sound a little like bards, honestly. Except with magic?

[wolfuncaged]

I was in a place called Exsilium. We had to time travel in order to prevent a superpower from destroying all of our worlds. It was not fun.

To save myself a potential headache should a friend of mine return: pirates.

Video

[namisan]

[Okay, that's two new ones. But... that's definitely a different purpose than she'd imagine.]

Were you there voluntarily? Or did you just wake up there one day?

Video

[wolfuncaged]

No, I just awoke there. Drafted into a war none of us really wished to be part of. We won, and our reward was to choose what life we wished to lead. Some decided to remain, help rebuild the new world we had created, some chose to go to another world altogether. I chose to go home, but found myself here instead.

[child_of_bhaal]

[Sye walks over, a mug of some kind of ale in hand, around the end of Nami's broadcast.]

Both can be good people in the right circumstances. If they're trying to kill me, then pirates. There's a higher chance of them being drunk.

[namisan]

[She glances up at the familiar voice and breaks into a grin at that crack.] Well, you're not wrong. The amount of pirates I've seen flat on their face in a bar is kind of hilarious.

[She shoves her bowl of nuts to the side, away from the extra chair at her table. Take a seat.] So you've met ninja? What are they like?

[child_of_bhaal]

[She will accept that unspoken invitation.]

Quiet, focused, very deadly. I prefer having them on my side than not.

[scrubscrub]

[Oh, most of this is too much to even think about! Those names are all so unfamiliar... and then of course the question of death is just too much to consider. So she elects to be more lighthearted, albeit awkwardly.]

P—

Pirates!

[SUCCESS.]

[namisan]

Damn straight. [She might feel a twinge of regret that she's asking such serious questions in front of kids, but Nami won't molly coddle them either. So YES LET'S GO WITH THE LIGHT OPTION.]

Though I'm curious. Have you ever heard of ninjas?

video

[scrubscrub]

... N-ninjas...

I guess I haven't.

[damn my plan is foiled b/c i have no clue what those are

i'm so transparent]

[stefanged]

Add Asgard to the list. I know someone [read: he doesn't want to name who] was taken to the realm a while back.

Also, neither, but if I have to choose... pirates.

video;

[namisan]

[Oh hello again. And thank you; this list is longer than she thought it'd be.]

Bad experiences with either? [She grins a little, but then sobers.] Taken? Like-- from here?

video;

[stefanged]

No, I mean... they were in Asgard and then they ended up on the Fleet.

[He shrugs apologetically.] I don't think we'd hear about the opposite happening.

video.

[ofkirkwall]

Exsilium. [ Chances are Fenris has already mentioned it but she answers regardless, head cocked slightly to the side. ] Run by a lovely group who thought forced enlistment was the right way to gather an army.

[ Then without hesitation: ] Pirates, definitely.

video.

[namisan]

Yeah, so I've heard. [Fenris has indeed been through, and what he had to say about pirates makes her smile a little. She wonders if Marian's the friend he was talking about, though he's talking about a friend returning, so...]

Good choice. I assume you know Fenris?

[They might not have known each other beforehand, but if they both landed here from Exsilium that's another story.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash has heard a few of those names in passing, but didn't know anything about them so doesn't comment on it.]

I haven't heard of anyone dying on the Fleet. Any reason why you're curious?

And pirate of ninjas? How about cowboys instead!

[namisan]

Pass. Not the question.

[So hah.]

I want to know because I'm thinking of tossing someone out an airlock.

[Okay but she has a serious answer. But this is Vash, and she can't help trolling just a little.]
