[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.]

Uh, hmm. [She's gotta think back on Usopp's stories.] Wears a lot of black, jumps around the place, turns into a log every now and then. Lots of illusion spells, things like that.

Turns into a log every now and then... [If only she'd seen Naruto fight.] Well, I'm with you on the wearing black. He might have just been a goth ninja though. [It seemed like there might have been eyeliner.]

Goth? As in gothic?

[She might have totally the wrong impression. Thinking of big castles and bats right now. And Mihawk as a result.]

Well, I think it gets it's roots there. I wasn't being entirely serious.

No, I figured you weren't. I've just never heard of it before. Lends itself to all kinds of amusing pictures in my head.

Picture away. I'm sure he'd enjoy that. [He'd probably give her a tired look.] Not really a fair contest though. I don't know if I've ever met a pirate. [Remy doesn't count without a ship, right?]

You're talking to one.

[Grin.]

Though to be fair, I don't really fit the stereotype people seem to have either.

Oh yeah? Well, definitely pirates then. [Kidding. Still ninjas, but it was never that serious of a question, right? She smiles.]

[No seriousness required. But her grin widens at the answer.]

See, now I don't have to pillage your ship in the night or anything. Everyone wins.

[She would never.]

I'll let my shipmates know they're safe again. Well, maybe not from ninja attacks.

[Snrk.] Good luck with those.

So what was MarinaNova like?

[Probably should get to the non-non-serious stuff.]

Like a small city under a dome deep under the sea. We had a bowling alley and ice skating rink and horse stables. Apartments. And sometimes it rained fruit punch. [That only happened once, but you don't forget fruit punch rain day.]

[Rain under the sea. It makes her wonder idly if Fishman Island had anything that passed for it. Of course, she's not even gonna try coming up for a logical reason for it in this case because fruit punch.]

Had the kind of higher powers that liked messing with you, I see.

They were working on our rehabilitation through some...creative and unorthodox means. I'd call it experimenting.

Wait, that's what they called your particular brand of terrarium? A place for rehabilitation?

From what?

It was a prison, so yeah. From our awful, awful crimes?

Ah. And did you actually commit these awful, awful crimes?

Every one of them from the under age smoking to truancy to jaywalking. [To murder, theft, and arson! But there was context.]

Hah. It's a wonder the place wasn't overcrowded. I wonder what their basis for selection was.

I don't think it had anything to do with crimes, but I couldn't tell you. Probably the same as the selection process here. [Random.]

Universal lottery. Always fun.

Lucky us. Seems like your chances to win again are higher if you were picked before too. [Given the number of people she knows who didn't come straight from home.]

Yeah, I'd noticed that. It's why I'm trying to work out how they're connected. That is way too much of a coincidence, especially when a lot of the rules they work under are the same.

I was thinking along the same lines. Eudio threw me off though. Apparently people choose to stay or leave. Unless they just think they do.

It's possible they just think it. Or it's an experimental place. Do you know anything else about Eudio?

[Because that's a new name.]
