[Spending time as a mermaid was fun. Nami's an intelligent sort; when she suddenly becomes human again, she's close to shore. See? Planning! No drowning here.

...pity she didn't have the foresight to think through something else. At least her journal reappeared during the week.]

[Disgruntled and locked to the Straw Hats]
I'm human again. And at

[Gasp.] Nami-san! You don't have any--?

[brb, rummaging through Nami's drawers. This is an emergency.]

[voice]

[mikangirl]

[Vivi, you are her hero ;A;]

No! I kind of ...

Kind of forgot. [Derp.] Would you mind?

[voice/action]

[alabastajewel]

It's no problem, Nami-san! [You probably hear some muffled rusting and drawers sliding open and shut as Vivi grabs pants (as well as a fresh shirt and some underthings, because she assumes Nami will want a full set of dry clothes), and finds a small bag to stuff them in.] I'll be there soon!

[Once hastily packed, Vivi is on her way out the door.] Ah. Which way was the..?

[voice/action]

[mikangirl]

Thank you so much.

It's at the barracks. All the way south in the village! I can probably find a map for you if you need it.

[voice/action]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi nods, that small reminder all she needs for now.] I think I can find it, Nami-san. Ah, but where should I meet you on the beach?

[She's heading for the barracks now, the route starting to look more familiar as she continues.]

[voice/action]

[mikangirl]

I'll come up as close to the teleporter as I can, Vivi. I'll just be... Um. In the water. I'll keep a look out.

[Wade, wade, wade.]

[voice/action]

[alabastajewel]

[She's getting closer, but it'll still be, idk, a few minutes' walk.] Don't come in too close to shore, yet. I'll let you know when I'm there. Are you sure no one else is around?

[Vivi suddenly stops short as she's walking, realizing she should have grabbed something else.] Oh! Nami-san, I forgot a towel! Do you think I should go back for one? [She's thinking more for modesty issues than for drying off, really.]

[voice/action]

[mikangirl]

I'm out waist deep. It's where I'll stay.

Oh, a towel... No, it's okay. It doesn't matter if my clothes get a little wet, I can always change again when we get home.

[She's thinking time is of the essence, given the sorts of people that like to lurk around the beach >__>]

[voice/action]

[alabastajewel]

[A nod, and she walks a little bit faster.] All right. I suppose you can stand behind me while you get dressed, just in case there's anyone else there...

[Aaand here she is at the teleporter.] I'm at the teleporter. Do I have to do anything to make it work?

[voice/action]

[mikangirl]

Nope. You just have to walk through it.

Thanks, Vivi.

[action]

[alabastajewel]

[And moments later, Vivi emerges from the beachside teleporter, a small bundle of clothes in her arms. She scans the horizon, on the lookout for both Nami and any potential peepers.]

[action]

[mikangirl]

Ah! Vivi! [Distant waving from down in the water! She's got one hand still pulling her tshirt down as far as she can, but everything naked is distinctly under water, at least.]

[action]

[alabastajewel]

Nami-san! [She shifts the bag of clothing to one arm, and waves back. The coast looks clear, at least. Still, better safe than sorry. She makes a beeline towards Nami.]

[action]

[mikangirl]

Thanks so much, Vivi. [She'll risk wading up a little more, relieved that nobody else has come along.] I'm glad you beat Brook to the offer.

[action]

[alabastajewel]

[She winces slightly.] Ah.

[...MOVING ON. She kicks off her sandals on the beach and wades in to meet Nami halfway, holding the bag out to her.] I think if you hold it in front of yourself...

[This would be so much easier if she hadn't forgotten a towel. -__-]

[action]

[mikangirl]

[At least they're all girls here. Nami'll reach out and grab the bag deftly, and do just that, coming out of the surf now.] Just give me a second-- if you can play lookout, I'll set a record for getting dressed.
