Take Your Tradition and Shove It
Who: Nami and you
Broadcast: Yep
Action: Bloodsport / Space Bar, Iskaulit
When: Now-ish
[Nami sleeps in an hour past the start of her shift at the Space Bar because the Atroma have always had such excellent timing. When she finally blinks awake, all icy sweat and teary-eyed, she spends a good few minutes slowly convincing herself it was just a bad dream, not actual, y'know, memories, which is a pretense that lasts all the way until she sits up and catches sight of herself in the mirror.
Welp.
There's no definites, on either side. That's something to think about. She checks the time and date on her comm, realises she's only lost an extra half day, and pings the bar staff on duty to let them know she's running late. She can have her depressing existential crisis later. Runs through the shower and skids out into the cargo bay with her hair still damp and her backpack over her shoulder and--
And--????
There's a giant thing staggering around in here with yellow feathers sticking out awkwardly from the most godawful wrapping paper she's ever seen--]
[Indignant Video]
Hey! [This here's a redhead with a lot more hair this morning, looking pissed.] Who the hell left the giant bird in our cargo bay? You can't just wrap a living creature in that much--
KWAAA!?
[She breaks off, startled, to glance over her shoulder at the crackling sound and sudden rumbling of something heading this way.It's a wildebeest herd And then has just enough time for a shriek before the comm goes flying , which means maybe all you get after that is a blur of yellow feathers and pink flamingo wrapping paper that's on fire (who giftwrapped the electric bird seriously) and a whole lot of joyful bird sounds who just ran over his favourite navigator sort of accidentally, but that's Biri for you. JFC, bird.
Muffled and in the distance, after a few moments--]
...never mind. I'm gonna be later.
[She recognises him now the wrapping paper has kind of burnt to ash, that's for sure. Ow.]
-------
[She will eventually get to the Space Bar with all due apologies, so you can catch up with her there. Or order a drink. She's in a better mood than when she woke up, at least. Giant idiot birds will do that to you. Even if they singe your hair a little at the same time.]

[Video]
Nice hair.
[Because that is clearly the most noticeable and important thing to take from this.]
[Video]
Thanks. [More snappish than strictly necessary, but it's not really aimed at Vash. She's pushing a giant bird off, it's a fun job.]
I grew it myself. [And then sweetly:] How's our chicken supplies at the bar?
[Video]
[Video]
Are you that hard up for entertainment?
[Video]
And, besides, it seems like you have a handle on the duck-u-ation.
[Video]
By slamming her comm face down, enjoy. She'll see you at work in a bit. >:|]
[Video --> Action]
[Action]
Apart from some truly terrible conversations? So far so good.
[Action]
Where is our duck? I was about to print up new menus to say how fresh it is! [And he'd only make that joke if he was completely certain she would never actually kill the duck.]
[Action]
[She sees your sass and runs with it.]
[Action]
So, what's it's name?
[Action]
[She grins. But yes.]
His name is Biri. Smarter than he looks at first glance, still kinda dumb. [Reminds her of Luffy tbh.]
Re: [Action]
Smarter than he looks, but still kind of dumb, huh? [Vash grins. He's been called something like that himself before. He's also heard stories about her captain.] I've never heard someone described like that before.
So is he a... [Friend? Pet? Emergency food supply?] Friend from home?
[Action]
[Action]
Oh, yeah? I thought ducks liked water. [He really knows nothing about ducks.]
[Action]
[Or something something. We don't know why we left him behind, the powers that be never told us and and we are sad.]
[Action]
[Action]
I did miss him, though. [And yeah, she totally is getting changed in the kitchen into her cutesy uniform, so Vash's casual busy-ness is super pro.] So I guess at least I have some company from home.
[Action]
[Action]
Nah. He's not powerful enough for that. Not unless the entire ship floods with water or something. [At which point they have other issues.]
[Action]
If your entire ship flooded with water I think I would have to blame that one on you. [Said with a teasing tone. He remembers seeing her filling up an empty area for fresh water storage.] I know the amount of hot water they provide us is abysmal, but that's no reason to flood your ship!
[Action]
Speak for yourself. Our bathrooms are high quality. [JACUZZI POWER, BABY.]
