[Nami is still sporting the deep red hair dye she put in during the last days of Malnosso World. As far as she knows her hair will take at least a few weeks to fade back to its original colour. Which is great! Maybe by then, she'll be able to look in the mirror at herself without flinching. This is a really, really stupid fear.

Gets even better when she tries not to look too hard in the direction of the orchard. How do you harvest something you're suddenly terrified of?

...get someone else to do it, naturally.]

Hey, just a heads up for the people who volunteered to help me out a few weeks ago. Seeing as we were all...uh... preoccupied this last weekend, I'll be harvesting the orchard this coming Saturday instead. The rain should clear by then. I have baskets. Just bring gloves and scissors if you have them. If not, not too big a deal, just makes it a lot easier.

Please don't wear anything orange.

[She'll be coming into town soon after that to fish through any stores that might possibly have really dark sunglasses in them. She can't be afraid of a colour if she can't pick it out properly, okay.]

((ooc: for the record, a harvest log will go up this weekend, so if you'd prefer to handwave agreeing to come help and just tag there, that is A-OK.))

[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.]

[Morning:

There is a navigator in a New Feather dress wandering up and down the rows of what she thought was her own mikan grove, looking thoroughly lost. This isn't her dress. That isn't her cottage. This isn't her book, even if it has her name on it. (She hasn't really looked closely at it yet; just kind of picked it up and claimed it because it said Nami on the front, so finders keepers.) Not to worry; if nobody is around, she'll eventually snap out of her daze and kick the cottage door open in a fit of temper, then sit down in a place that looks long abandoned and aggressively read a lot of notes. And be...

...well, she's no less confused. What the hell.

Also, she's kind of angry. That's to be expected, right?

---------

In the afternoon, she visits the village proper and does a full round of the stores in the plaza, both looking for (a) her own things, and (b) anything that might be remotely valuable she can swipe from the stores, because supposedly it's free. Hell, while she's at it, she might as well take any clothing that looks cute. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. Cliche smiche, it makes her feel better.

She'll also flop down in Seventh Heaven and grab some lunch. Inevitably she'll end up in Good Spirits some time after that, because this situation is freakish and some people have recognised her and that's weird so free alcohol is an excellent idea. And it's from there she makes a quick voice post.]

So I've apparently been here before. I don't remember you, sorry. [Not sorry. But.] Is there anyone else here from East Blue?
