3rd Wave [voice/action]

[feetarestrange]

This is working, right? [It seems like an odd question to ask, having to reassure herself that her journal is functioning properly. Still, after what she's had put up with recently, she can't help it being one of her top priorities.]

Okay, finally. [Nami lets out a deep sigh.] I never thought I'd be this glad to be back on the surface.

I'm not sure how long it's been since I fell. I lost track after a few days.

Have I missed anything important?

Spades, are the ships anywhere near Port Chance?

[mephistophilus]

You fell, Miss…? Are you in need of rescue?

[feetarestrange]

Not really. [She says it just like that.] I'm not injured or anything like that, and it's already been some time since it happened.

[A week? Two? She can't tell.]

I'm just waiting to join up with my crew.

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur hears her voice while he's flipping through the journal and freezes, a few too many emotions grappling for attention that he doesn't know which one to humor. It's so good to hear her voice! Is she okay? She sounds okay. How dare she pull that letting go shit, he ought to whop her senseless! If she's hurt he'll never forgive himself. She isn't mad, is she?

Oh hell, what if she's mad at him for being such a dumbshit?

It'd be just what he deserves.

And she deserves better.

Maybe it'd be best to let Ace handle talking to her.

Yeah, for sure. She doesn't want to hear his voice anyway.]




[A few minutes later (120 whole seconds, man, what a wait) and still no one from the crew has noticed she's alive again, the losers. So he opens up a voice line, mind still tossing like waves before a storm.]

Uh. Hey. Y' already make it t' the island?

[feetarestrange]

[Boy does she have news for you.]

Yeah, I'm staying near the docks for now.

[She then follows it up with:]

It's nice to hear your voice again, Namur.

[om_nom_namur]

[That... isn't what he expected to hear.]

Really? But... ahhh shit.

[A moment passes, then two.]

D' y' dare come out t' meet me in the current? Ain't no shitty waterfalls this time.

[feetarestrange]

Maybe in a bit. I haven't had much of a chance to rest lately, and I'm feeling pretty tired.

But you can stop by, if you want. I'm the only mermaid on these docks.

[Making her pretty easy to find.]

[sinister_blade]

[How... could she fall? Fall in water...? But she's a mermaid... Have a confused Katarina.]

What do you mean you fell?

[feetarestrange]

I was on a sky island with Namur. [First time, too.]

... We were careless.

[sinister_blade]

[There was probably an appropriate joke about Earth being too low for a mermaid.]

It's not my problem but you do have some weird timing for it. [With Ghost Race and all.]

[feetarestrange]

What's so weird about it? Is there something going on?

[Guess who completely forgot about that while she was on her own?]

Audio;

[hiken]

A good thing you've come back, Nami. One second I could feel your presence and another I didn't.

Audio;

[feetarestrange]

Sorry for worrying you and the others, Ace.

I'll be more careful.

[She expected better of herself.]

Audio;

[hiken]

I know you can handle yourself. The problem is, I worry you'd just flat out go home or something.

I'm tired of losin' my crew to that.

Audio;

[feetarestrange]

You're going to be stuck with me for a while longer, Ace.

Besides, who else is going to keep patching you up without asking too many questions?

Voice

[fierybluebird]

Welcome back, nakama.

Aye, the ships are close enough nearby. I'll take Namur to come meet up with you on one of the Dippers, eh?

Voice

[feetarestrange]

Alright, I'm not going anywhere unless it's back to the ships.

... It's nice to be back. How long was I gone for?

Voice

[fierybluebird]

A week.

Namur's been a wreck.

Voice

[feetarestrange]

Sorry...

It won't happen again.

voice;

[watchesthesea]

I'm glad that you are alright, Nami.

voice;

[feetarestrange]

Thanks, Kairi. It's good to hear from everyone again.

How was the crew while I was gone?

voice;

[watchesthesea]

They've been there usual selves that I'm aware of. Nothings really happened.

I guess that could be considered a good thing.

voice;

[feetarestrange]

I think so too.

What about you? Have you been doing well?

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

You fell of your ship? How have you managed to survive for a few days?

voice;

[feetarestrange]

I didn't fall off the ship. Even if I did, it wouldn't be a big deal. I fell from one of the sky islands.

voice;

[wantsarobotgarden]

Sky islands? Wait that sounds pretty high. How did you manage to survive?
