[No two ways about it, the weather's getting colder. It's got to the point it's very seriously unattractive to go riverdiving, okay. And it's been a month, and she's still here and that sucks, so... time to actually make decisions like she's going to be stuck here for a while.]

[Okay, so it's only like a 20% filter, but it's Luffy. She doesn't need more than that.]

Is there anyone in town who could help me out with some plumbing installation at the mikan grove? I don't have running water up where I live and it's kind of getting cold, so...

...ah, I could pay you in fruit. There's a lot of it and it's getting pretty ripe now. Or we can work something else out.

Oh, speaking of which, I know this place has got harvested every year by...uh... me. I guess. It's getting around that time of the year. I'd appreciate it if anyone would be willing to give me a hand, say, first Saturday in November? There's like a shed up here with baskets and everything, so just... bring yourselves, I guess.

[This feels weird. She'll leave it there.]

Anyway, thanks.

[Not a lot of action to be had today ~~that sounds dirty~~ because Nami is avoiding the village itself due to certain new arrivals, gosh. GOOD THING HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ORCHARD, RIGHT.

But yes, she'll be up in the farmlands if anyone is actually around or wants to pay a visit.]

Plumbing and harvesting, huh? [ Don't feel weird, Nami, it's daily life stuff. That's totally cool. In giant barriery prisons full of experimentation, it's kind of the best thing. ] I can help you out!

Really? [She brightens because actually she thinks it'd be nice to show Usopp the farm. Doubts about whether he'll tell Luffy will be rendered moot about an hour from now, so. 8|] I didn't know you were a plumber, Usopp.

[Is this an 8000 followers thing.]]

After witnessing my skills in battle, it's only fair that you'd underestimate me in other parts of life, young Nami. [ Tut tut tut. It's only natural when there's this much raw intimidating power to cope with, of course. Gotta get that bragging out there, though. ] But I didn't just let stuff fall apart in my house before I set sail, you know. I'm a responsible man of many talents, who took care of things!

[ Nailed it. His repairwork has totally even evolved from the gum/rubber bands/twine days. It also includes using tools now. ]

Yes, yes, of course. [Keywords. Though that second part seems legit.] There's a green guy who's said he'll look at the plumbing. [Green guys are totally common.] But I'll keep that in mind if it starts breaking down or something.

Harvest, though. That'd be great!

[ Nami's just breezing right over the green guys already… Luceti must be a great place to build bravado as a warrior! He never even thought about that before.

Maybe he can get on the path to his dream here after all. ]

Harvest it is, then! Jeez, were you never gonna mention having a whole orchard here?

I just did, didn't I? It's full of mikan, so of course I had to take it over! But it was here before I was. Although I...was apparently also here before it was....

[My head hurts.]

Try not to think about that time traveling stuff too much. It only means trouble.

I think you're right on that score. Has anyone tried to tell you all about your past self?

Not really. Isamu was talking about some stuff when I first got here, but he was lying anyway. [ A perilous life on the edge of truth. ]

Just as well, then. I think it's probably easier to pretend you were never here.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying. It doesn't seem like remembering anything would get me farther here a lot of the time, anyway. Is that what you're doing?

Pretty much. This place is confusing enough without wondering about any supposed double lives. [Opinion subject to change in the future somewhere.]

It's impossible to sort out one regular life here. Two is way too much work. [ He will probably keep his opinion. Until one day when he gets kidnapped and loaded down with a bunch of shoes or something. ]

[Said bracketed comment just sent the mun into a fit of coughing and laughter, I'll have you know.]

Exactly! It's not our problem if other people remember us differently. They'll just have to get used to us all over again.

[ Success. ]

It's not every day someone gets the chance to get to know people as great as us all over again. Don't forget to remind them to be thankful for it if somebody keeps talking about how you were here before.

You know what, I think I'll do just that. What would I ever do without your ideas.

The real question is, what would anyone do?

Clearly suffer greatly for the lack of your expertise.
