[Someone's clearly playing with their dreamberry - the first thing the video catches as it flickers to life is a pattern of flowers across a grubby yellow t-shirt before the image spins dizzily to catch a flash of orange hair and then up to the sky, green leaves and orange fruit framing one side of the picture. Then there's a tired curse and the

[A scream? Is someone in trouble?!]

Hey! You! Are you okay?! What's going on over there?

[video]

[namigational]

[Sorry, no video feed for you, Omi. No answer, either. The owner of this dreamberry is currently hotfooting it out of the orchard as fast as she can go, but you can certainly hear her shrieking.]

GET AWAY FROM ME!

[video]

[1blackcat]

[That's enough for Omi. She's definitely in trouble. Ten seconds later he's out the door and running with absolutely no idea where to go to find her but he can't just sit there.]

Miss, listen to me! Where are you?! I'm coming to help but I need your location!

[video]

[namigational]

[...seriously? The thing in her pocket is yelling at her? There's a fumble and the video feed finally catches sunlight again, and then Nami's dirt-stained face peering down at it in panicked confusion. She's ...still running. But confusion is short-lived, because that was distinctly an offer of help.]

I don't know! There's a scarecrow chasing me!

[Zoro is sitting on the roof of their cottage, drinking beer and snacking on beef jerky while he lets his Dreamberry play various incoming messages.

Nothing he needs to pay attention to right now, seems like, so his attention is heavily wandering to his next training regimen when his ear is pricked hard by a familiar voice-oranges?

He snatches up the 'berry for a closer look, but by that time there's nothing but black on the screen and recording rustles.

Still-intently:]

Nami?

[strayswordsman]

[And then that ear-piercing, way too familiar shriek blasts through.]

[strayswordsman]

[Definitely their navigator, alright.]

[strayswordsman]

[Their navigator, who is screaming.]

Oi, Nami! You alright?!

[Sanji was sitting at the kitchen table, thumbing through a new cookbook he'd just got and absently letting the messages on his Dreamberry cycle through when one veeery familiar voice reached his ears.

And that, that was a voice he’d be able to place even if she’d only muttered one syllable, but three whole sentences-Sanji’s head jerked up immediately, eyes wide with disbelief as they landed on his Dreamberry.]

[serving_love]

[And oh, his heart can’t handle this, BOTH of his lovely ladies in the same week?? After what felt like years of worrying about them and wondering if they were alright and when he’d see them again, and his luck is NEVER this good, so maybe he’s imagining things and that’s not actually-]

[serving_love]

[he’s scrambling for the Dreamberry a second later, because shut up, shitty brain, that was DEFINITELY Nami-san’s voice and that means she DEFINITELY has to be here and Sanji can finally see her beautiful face again and.

And.

...And just as quickly as Sanji’s face had lit up, it falls again because there’s no Nami-san on his screen, WHYYYYYYYY.]

[serving_love]

[Ah, but! He can still hear rustling! So she’s probably still there! The shock-delayed gut reaction finally starts boiling up inside him, a thousand hearts get ready to explode out of him like a volcano erupting, angels start preparing their choir to sing-]

...Nami-san. Nami-san! Oi, is that-are you-Nami-

*Usopp actually isn't paying any attention to his Dreamberry at all right now; he's in the process of finally installing that window in Luffy and Zoro's room (what do you mean it looks a little crooked? no, clearly that's just your imagination), hammering away...*

[warriorothesea]

*...but then he hears the sound of Zoro yelling on the roof, muffled though it is--did he just say "Nami"??* his first impulse is to open the window and ask Zoro directly, but--ugh. the window appears to be...stuck shut. dammit*

[warriorothesea]

*it only takes him another moment to remember the Dreamberry, though, and he pulls it from his pocket, at first only intending to call Zoro, though half a second later, he realizes there's no need, because whatever Zoro's reacting to probably came from the Dreamberry network. and sure enough, there are new posts. he selects the most recent video and takes a deep breath, hovering his finger over the play button for a moment, telling himself he shouldn't get his hopes up. for all he knew, Zoro was just taking a nap and had a nightmare about his debt or something...*

[warriorothesea]

*then the feed begins to play, and if that first flash of orange hair wasn't unmistakable enough, when Nami finally speaks there can be no doubt. it's really her--and she's in trouble?*

[kyudousha]

[... honestly.]

Yeah, that's right. Show that scarecrow who's boss.

[namigational]

I did. [You know. If by showing it who's boss she means running away screaming like a coward.] Uh. Sorry for the shrieking.

[kyudousha]

Of course you did. [Eyeroll, moving on.] And you should be. I nearly spilled the reagent.

[namigational]

[B| She apologised, dammit.] Well, I didn't know you had killer attack scarecrows here.
