Who: Nami and Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: After the shuffle.

[After long and ridiculous and exhaustive hours of game playing on the Marsiva, Nami finally wins enough points for the prize she was aiming for:  her own weapon, climatact piece number two.  It's an interesting mix of smug triumph and really pissy irritation she feels-- it's hers in the first place, you assholes-- but it's done.  She can ditch this place.  Maybe call Robin and they can go out and drink and unwind and Robin will just sit there and smile while Nami vents like a spitting cat, because that's happened a bunch of times before.

But she checks the roster first, because the shuffle has just been and gone.  She missed it last week, and missed Dean vanishing from the Fleet.  Let's not do that again.  And...

Welp.  She isn't actually all that surprised.]

------

Does anyone else in this place feel cursed?

[She doesn't bother to say Robin's gone.  Hardly anyone knew her, the Caprine crew will already know.  At least Robin stayed a lot longer than Luffy did.  Hell, she'd even take Mihawk back at this point. 

She's on the Iskaulit in one of the less public areas, running through some small tests now she has two out of three pieces.  So... don't be too surprised if you turn a corner and find a redhead staring flatly at the world's tiniest raincloud.]

[Sam offers her a sympathetic little smile, sadly raising his hand.]

Cursed club?

Video

[namisan]

[Nami smiles weakly. She'd kind of expected that answer from you.]

Maybe we really should form a club. Sorry, Sam. [At least she knows Robin is okay.]

[collegedropout]

[He shakes his head, a bit sad, but — he smiles still anyway.

He's had a little time, to accept. Or push it all down and deal, anyway.]

Nah, I'm sorry. And here I thought me and Robin had a chance.

[He figures he might as well try to instill some humor. Robin's too good at teasing him, so he might as well get into her spirit of things as a decent send-off. In fact — ]

Way too handsy for me.

Video

[namisan]

[That brings a helpless huff of laughter and she smiles back wistfully.]

Well, you're tall and you blush easily and you were a mystery she wanted to poke at. You're lucky handsy was the worst of it.

Video

[collegedropout]

Yeah, th—

Hey! I totally don't blush easily!

[DON'T FLUSTER ME GOD.]

Video

[namisan]

[g r i n]

Don't make me prove you wrong.

[See, poking fun at you is helping already.]

Video

[collegedropout]

You're totally mean. You're cruel to me, you know. Just saying.

Video

[wolfuncaged]

Oh more than one occasion, yes.

...Are you alright?

Video

[namisan]

...yeah. Just feeling sorry for myself, I guess.

[She knows better. She's just tired of her crew coming and leaving so suddenly.]

Video

[wolfuncaged]

Everyone is entitled to that once in a while.

Can I do anything to help?

Video

[namisan]

[That nets a faint smile, at least.]

Not unless you've got a direct line access to the Atroma. But I appreciate the offer.

Video

[wolfuncaged]

Alas, I cannot offer such a thing. If I did, I'd have a lot of words for them myself. One day.

[One day they will go in there and kick all the asses. He promises. ]

Video

[namisan]

I think I'm gonna have a lot more than just words. [Some blonde chick totally deserves a punch in the face by now.]

You got a lot of people from home here, Fenris? Like-- your original world?

video

[nowyouseeit]

Haven't been here long enough to say, really.

[there's a pause]

. . . is there a particular reason you're asking?

video

[namisan]

I'd say welcome to the Fleet, then, but it's an annoying place as best. My condolences.

And not really. I guess... it feels a lot lately like the Atroma like messing with us a little too much. [Which sounds ridiculous, given the entire situation. Of course they like it.]

video

[nowyouseeit]

Trust me, I can handle annoying.

[he says with confidence, and then launches right into responding to her second statement]

How, exactly, have they been messing with people lately? D'you know? I mean. . . other than the whole kidnapping thing.

[namisan]

Generally speaking, there's glitches-- when that little chip in the back of your head shorts out, supposedly accidentally. Can lead to all kinds of problems, not the least of which turning you psychotic.

[It's fun. Really.]

Specifically speaking, though... I don't know. Is there anyone you know here from your own world?

video

[nowyouseeit]

[immediately scowls]

I heard about glitches. Tch. . .

[but thankfully he hasn't experienced any. yet. if only because he hasn't been here long enough]

And-- yeah. There is, plus a couple of people I met on the world I was stuck in before I came here. Why?

video

[namisan]

[Oh look, yet another person who's world hopping. She gives him an interested look, but then shakes her head.]

I'm the only one from my world-- my crew here. People I know keep arriving, and they vanish again a few weeks later. And I know that's good, so I should stop being annoyed about it, but... I'm starting to wonder if it's done on purpose or I'm just that unlucky.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Getting there.

[Oh hi, guess who's also salty about the last two mingles.]

[namisan]

[...Pinkie, it's not right that that look is on your face, for srs.]

She really liked you. All of you over there, I think.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Awww, is this one better?]

Thanks, Nami. We liked her a lot too. Are you okay?

[namisan]

Yeah. I'm a little down, but I kind of wondered if this was going to happen. [Her smile is small.] No one from my world stays very long except me.

[spontaneouscombustion]

I'm sorry... At least they'll remember you when you get home, right?

[Meanwhile, she doesn't know if Qing or Robin will remember her. Or if she and Cheese will remember the relationship they've built here.]

[namisan]

Yeah.

[She's not blind to the unspoken thought there. After a moment:] It'd be better if we dismantled this place. Maybe that way we'd keep memory of the place when we go home under our own steam.
