Who: Nami and anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport
When: 16th April

[The broadcast doesn't switch on while Nami is still sleeping, but it does decide to catch the moment when she practically launches off the bed with a banshee screech and then tumbles to the floor blankets and all, a tangle of material and bare limbs flailing in a pathetic heap.]

Luffy, you ass-- I'm the only one who can--

[The only one who can inhale a blanket corner, apparently. 8| Please hold, spluttering. She eventually flips the blanket back to show a mess of orange hair, smoothing it dazedly behind one ear-- and then freezing as she swipes at thin air beneath that.]

Wha hap'-- where's my--

[....]

.....huh?

[Memory might be taking a bit.]

---------

[Some hours later she'll be back and fully coherent and annoyed.]

I go to sleep for two weeks and we're still in this crappy place? Tell me there's a bright side somewhere. And I guess I owe a bunch of shifts at the bar or something.

Aha. Tell me I still have a job.

If the Atroma try to make you the new captain, you don't have to accept, no matter what anyone says. If they do, you let me know and I can show you how to tell them you don't want it. [She's seen that paperwork.]

Is there anyone else on board you think would make a good captain?

I understand...

[She stares quietly, thoughtfully, her smile slipping even now.

It spreads over her face, though, after a moment of consideration.]

Mr. Obi-Wan would be very good. He... He is very patient.

And he knows what it feels like, to hurt; he would know how to help people who have also hurt!

He's a good man. [Which she'd already worked out, but if Koala also thinks the world of him, all the better.]

So if you get made captain, you can resign and ask him if he'll take over instead. It really won't be a problem, okay?

I suppose you're right.

He certainly has the beard to be a captain!

[Grin. She hopes that means this particular anxiety is averted.] You're right there. And he looks after it so much better than a lot of other captains.
