[Action // Locked to Luffy]

[When Bellemere opened her eyes and gazed up at the round, orange fruit in her sight, her first thought was that she was stuck as a ghost tending to the damn orchard. The wings? They didn't help. Neither did the plain white dress (a dress like this? not my style). She's still a tad too drugged to walk in a straight line

[Vivi was, idk, out running errands or something earlier, so when she returns to the Strawhat house, the tearful reunions are long over. Instead she finds a woman sitting on the couch when she enters, looking comfortable enough. She must be a guest?]

Oh, hello!

[...hm. Really, there's something very familiar about this woman, but she can't quite place her. Likely she'd just seen her around in the village. There's a small nagging sensation in the back of her head insisting that's not it, however.]

[mikandelinquent]

[A casual wave; looks like you have another casual chain-smoker on your hands, for a bit.]

Hello there. Are you one of Nami's friends? Perhaps nakama, even?

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi nods, smiling brightly.] Yes, that's right! We're nakama. [Though she's noticed that's not really a word that gets tossed around much in Luceti. Hm. The small nagging sensation grows a bit.]

My name is Vivi.

[mikandelinquent]

[Aaa, might as well go in to shake a hand.]

The name's Bellemere. It's nice to meet you, Vivi.

[alabastajewel]

[...and suddenly, she realizes. Forgive her for not taking your offered hand, Bellemere. Instead it'll go up to her mouth as she gasps.]

You're Nami-san's...

[Because that's why she looks vaguely familiar. Vivi's seen her, in the picture Nami used to keep in their cabin back on the Going Merry. She's even told Vivi about her. It just took the name to jar the memory loose.]

[mikandelinquent]

[No prob, she'll leave it lingering for when you're less freaked.]

Her mother, yeah. Just dropping in for a while thanks to the Malnosso, I guess. You don't mind?

[alabastajewel]

[That gets her a surprised laugh.] Mind? Of course not!

[This is...really big news. She finally takes the offered hand and gives it a shake.] You'll be staying with us, won't you?

stupid enter button >:^|

[mikandelinquent]

I'm thinking I will be. [Until we can get something built at the mikan grove, anyway.] You're another housemate, right? How many do we have? All the nakama, I imagine.

[Gosh. Pirates. This will take some getting used to.]

[alabastajewel]

There are six of us here now. [Her face falls a bit as she thinks of Zoro, Usopp,and Brook--crewmates who'd been here already and been sent home. Of course, it's good they were able to make it out of Luceti, but Vivi still misses them.] Have you met all of the others yet?

[mikandelinquent]

Hm... I met your captain, and your chef. And of course, your navigator.

[alabastajewel]

Of course. [Vivi smiles. She can only imagine what Nami must be feeling right now. Who would ever expect to be reunited with their long-dead mother in this place?]

[It must be a lot to take in, especially after being sick for so long.]

Is Nami-san feeling any better?

[mikandelinquent]

I think so; she's not running as bad a fever, anyway. With all the care she gets around here, I'm not too surprised.
