[119] [video/voice]

[embracethewaves]

[The post clicks on, unceremoniously, when Umi sets it down (along with a few other things, judging from the rustling sound of a bag being dropped down) and accidentally hits a button. The video begins recording, but all you get to see is her back and the shipyard as she walks away from the camera, across the dock, seemingly unaware that it's on at

[betrayedblade]

...Are you all right?

[embracethewaves]

[Aaand she has no idea that first bit recorded, so have some cluelessness.]

Giovanni...? I'm fine, why do you ask?

[betrayedblade]

You seemed...malinconico.

[embracethewaves]

Seemed like...what, now?

[dewinthesun]

W-would you be able to provide weapons or do we have to bring them? I-it has been some time since I really used a sword.

1/3

[embracethewaves]

We have practice swords for training...I can't imagine it working out very well if we used real--

[embracethewaves]

[--Wwwwwait a second.]

[embracethewaves]

[dhsfjghds I know that voice!]

Ukraine...? Is that you? They brought you back!

[Voice]

[thiefcat]

Umi...

[She sighs, knowing all too well the feeling of wanting to be on that boat when she's down...]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, my climatact doesn't work properly in the city.

[There's a long pause before she speaks again.]

... Would you like company?

[Voice]

[embracethewaves]

Climatact? Now there's something no one told me about... What is it, exactly?

[She still doesn't know that first bit posted, but she can't imagine Nami or the others are feeling any better about crewmate-disappearances than she is ;;]

There's no way I would say no to it right now...thanks, Nami.

[Voice -> Comment Log] ... how did get this so tl;dr? I blame you

[thiefcat]

I think it might be easier to show you. I'll be there shortly.

[It isn't as hard as a shock of losing Sanji or Robin, but she doesn't like it any more. More than anything her fear of being unprotected has hit harder than ever. Luffy, Chopper and Ace were all DF users and left powerless...

Not to mention the loss of another ah... friend she had made. It's easy to say Nami's been left pretty wounded, not that she's going to show it.

Gathering her weapon in her hands she high-tails it to the dock, there within minutes she seeks out Umi.]

[Comment Log] ... i totally plead the fifth on that one

[embracethewaves]

[She blinks at her communicator, a little perplexed. Show...?

It's been a strange couple of weeks, that much is for certain, and Umi mulls over that time a bit while she waits, looking up at the ship. Just a few weeks ago --well, it's going on months, by now-- they were up there and out in the open water...all of them, together.

Things change fast -- but, speaking of fast, it isn't long before she spots Nami approaching the docks. Umi rises from her spot at the railing and waves the red-haired girl over.]

Over here!

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[s-sob big sis. ;;]

...maybe she misses them too.

[embracethewaves]

[L-little bro ;;] She? Who do you mean, Chopper?

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Weather Hardy. Unless she didn't get all that used to us yet. She's still kind of a new boat still.

[embracethewaves]

You know...everyone who went with us helped to build her in the first place, though. I bet she really does miss them.

[tenkai_soul]

... I noticed it was gone. His frequency.

-Zoro was his friend too, after all.-

[embracethewaves]

Yeah. It...a few days ago.

[...] But, jeez...those scientists really do like bringing people back and forth, too.

[tenkai_soul]

Yeah... Seems like someone I care about is gone every week or so...

[embracethewaves]

Those freak scientists...I don't know what they're doing. It's like they enjoy toying with us like this.
