[...oh. Well. Nami won't take her irritation out on a little girl. She glances down at the communicator with a frown, but she sounds friendlier, at least.]
That's right. Not until October.
...I don't know you, do I? [Nanako looks a little familiar.]
Welcome to Demeleier. My name is Ryuga Asahi and I am a member of Demeleier's welcoming committee.
The purpose of this message is to greet you and to provide you with the necessary information to make your stay as easy as possible. You will find a helpful guide containing information regarding the circumstances of your displacement and the environment in which you've found yourself HERE. It is a highly recommended read that will enable you to better acquaint yourself with your surroundings and the general workings of the village.
Additionally, the Watch, about which you can learn more HERE, holds a meeting at Town Hall on the twenty-seventh of each month at one o'clock in the afternoon. Many topics are addressed at these meetings, which revolve around Demeleier's current affairs and concerns in all areas from safety to development to stores and trading to relationships and issues with the fae. It is open to members and residents alike and attendance is recommended as the products of these

[There's a long pause as Nami reads-- the links she only skims for now-- though her eyes catch on the crown of rowan-- but she comes back to stare at the letter hard.
...seriously? This has to be another experiment. She still remembers everything, for one. But--]
Thank you for the letter. Have you ever heard of a place called Luceti?[She's going back to the links now, looking at them in more detail.]
Sort of. I'm from the Grand Line originally, but I've been stuck in Luceti for years. Same sort of deal. [...just take out scientists and replace it with faeries. Sure. She has doubts, but there's no point expressing them.
...one thing's for sure, she shouldn't stay out here. Nami snatches her rowan crown back up and threads it over a wrist and looks for the path into the village. Her writing gets a little rough.] So I should head into town and go straight to the inn, right?
It appears as though you were brought to this place as well. It's called Demeleier, and for whatever reason your stay is permanent unless made otherwise by the fae.
That's what the guy with the letter said. ...wrote. Something. [Muttering. This is ridiculous. It has to be fake-- but she can't help feeling uneasy, now. None of the people talking to her are ones she recognises. Where is her crew?]
It would be nice if it were that, but unfortunately, the situation is a lot more complicated and serious than that. You'll be stuck in here for a while, young lady.
[That makes five total strangers who have responded, and not a single person she'd expect to hear from. Self-righteous annoyance is starting to give way to a lot of doubt, here.]
So I've been told. Kidnapped by faeries, right?
[Right out of Luceti? She can't say it's impossible, but...]
...hey. Do you know if there are any pirates here in town?
Hm. Pirates? That's the second time I've been asked that recently. The last time, that guy was looking for... let's see, what did her say? "A rubber-man, a redhead, a long-nose, a reindeer, a skeleton, and an idiot with a stupid-looking curly eyebrow." Any of that sound familiar to you?

[ Somewhat awkward, but now she's a bit friendlier Nanako tries to smile.. ]

...you're sure it's October?

And no, I'm sorry, I haven't heard of a Luceti. Is that where you're from, originally?

Did someone send you the information post already?

Yeah, they did. Thanks. Uh... [Peering down the stairs.] Is this creepy mist always here?
