[Whether you guys have noticed it or not, Zoro's been missing from Luceti for the past week or so. Ever since the rains started, in fact. Why? Because the Malnosso had to go prepare Nami's birthday present is why.

But now he's back ~~from outer space~~ and he's gonna come flying in from the sky face first, headed straight for--]

Eh--AAAAAAAH!

DOOREAHHHHhhhhh... p-please... forgive my rudeness... why... why wasn't I just born a lowly egg...

[-- the resident ghost princess.]

Wha...wha... you! What are you doing here, you stupid swordsman, I could have died! I-- [long and horrified pause] What happened to you?!

[... belated Happy Birthday, Ms. Navigator. ]

((ooc: Backdated to the 4th, right after Nami arrives! Tags will come from

notzori but may have to come after the weekend as I'll be out of town and likely away from the internet. Apologies in advance.))

[And here Nami's just opening her journal to make a grumpy annoucement of her own as she hears all that screaming.

B|

So after she drops her journal, she kicks it viciously across the room and then finally it...dawns on her who that likely is, and she snatches it back up again.]

Where the hell have you been?

[Disclaimer: parties are much more worried than they seem.]

[There's a bit of a scuffle from his end, maybe even some scraping noises too. It takes him a moment but he eventually flips the screen over and looks straight into the camera.]

Oi. That you, Nami?

[AND NAMI

...screams and drops her journal again. HUSBAND, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?!?]

... eh? Nami? Where'd you go?

[Just. Eventually. Picks up her journal again and stares at him long and hard and kind of horrified. What. What.]

What did they do to you?

...where are you?

How should I know?! I was like this when I woke up! [Mumble grumble. If he sounds a little stressed, it's obviously because:]

I'm with the ghost girl. [And she's abusing him, halp. );A;(]

Then leave the ghost girl and come home. [She doesn't need to ask, then.] You've been missing for over a week!

I'm trying but she did something to my swords.

[Oh no, she didn't-- ghost girl, you are so dead. B|]

What did she do?

Changed them for some fake ones, I think. I'll come home when I figure out where she hid them.

Changed them for-- [...wait. She stares hard at that journal window.] Uh, Zoro? Not that I like Perona very much at all, but... are they fake in the way your whole appearance is kind of...fake?

[Because she suspects the Malnosso more than Perona. (Though if she knew what happened with her at Mihawk's castle she might think differently.)]

Eh. Not sure what you mean. Here, see for yourself. [He tilts the camera so she can see his-- sob-- "new" swords.]

[...well. Shit. She frowns.]

Did Perona mention anything about your swords?

[Ugh, god, ugh oh man he's so hideous she can barely look at him for more than a few seconds, SOB. And to think she almost got crushed by this putrid specimen of man. She really would have died! W-Why do all these terrible things involving the Straw Hats happen to her? Is this karma?]

[Pulling together the pitiful remains of his fragmented dignity, the egg-- I mean-- Zoro reaches out to grab at the wall for balance. His words, when they come, is in his own naturally steely voice.] Stop doing that!

[Dear god, it's like watching a turtle struggle to right itself from falling over onto its back. It'd be kind of sad if Zoro actually looked like a cute little turtle. BUT HE DOESN'T. He's disgusting and Perona could have sworn she threw up in her mouth a little bit just now.]

Stop doing what?! You're the one that needs to stop! J-Just stop talking and moving and looking at me, I'll be sick if you look at me when you're like that! You're even more uncute than you once were!

What the hell are you talking about! [He moves to draw his swords, only...] Oi! What did you do to my swords?!

[Cheap replicas? Sob. His day is not going well.]

[Oh god, the bulbous, green onion is still talking to her. Perona covers her ears and squeezes her eyes shut tight, hoping in vain to purge the image from her thoughts forever. So unsavory...! Sh-She feels disgusting just having to be this close to him! But her eyes snap open angrily at the sudden accusation, and she clenches her fists together, and stomps her foot.]

Eh?! How dare you accuse me! What use would I have for a sword?! You nearly fell on me, you...you fat onion! Green onion!

That was an accident! You obviously stole my swords! Give them back. [Threatening you for real now. His swords may be fake but his killing aura definitely isn't. He'll try to cut her with a piece of paper if he has to.]

[Yeah, screw you and your killing aura, you'll be on your knees begging for forgiveness in a second there, fat onion. Perona doesn't take lip from anyone, let alone a fat, ugly, uncivilized jerk like you.]

Negative Hollow.

[COMING AT'CHA, MARIMO. 8D]

[Vivi pays no heed to your nonsensical journal entry, Zoro, but whenever you should meander your way back to the house, there's a six-year-old princess who may be more than a little surprised to see you.]

[And meander home he will! Eventually! After Nami and the ghost girl stop screaming at him! 8Da]

Vivi. [--he greets as he walks through the door.]

[At a somewhat familiar voice greeting her by name, Vivi begins to reply automatically.] Hi! [And...wait a minute, who the heck is that? Walking in like they live here...well, okay, Vash does that sometimes, but at least she knows who he is.]

[Accusing point!] Hey! Who are you?

[Geeze, kid. It's like we didn't just have some man time last week.] Who the hell do you think it is?

[As if he expects her to know him. ...but that voice is familiar, as well as the gruff tone. And. Oh. Green hair. But that's still--]

Zoro? [She asks in a voice that suggests she doesn't think she's right, because how could she be? But it's the only answer she can think of.]

[He shoots her a wry smile.] Got it in one. I don't look that different, do I?

Um... [Well, his hair is still green. Other than that...]

Maybe you should look in the mirror. [It's the most tactful way she can think to answer.]

[Twitch.] No thanks. [He's... gonna keep walking now.] I need a drink...

Zorooo...

[Following. And maybe jumping up and grabbing onto your arm a little. This may or may not be a subtle test to make sure he's really the real deal with Bill McNeal.]

[He keeps walking but lets her hang on, lifting and dragging her along as he goes. She's heavier than he remembers.]

What?

Let's go lift rocks again!

[Gaaaasp. She sees that thread with Nami and sees Zoro's BRAND NEW LOOK!!!]

WHOA! Zoro! Did you go through the "Time Jump" too!?

Time what? Idiot! Do you think I'd normally look like this?

Of course not! That's why i thought you went through the Time Jump!

[Because this is obviously not out of the realm of possibility for Timeskip!you.]

It's an experiment, an experiment!

Ah, I see..

That's kind of disappointing... [She was hoping to see your time jump look!]

Don't push it.

Hahaha! How did you even gain so much weight anyway? Did the Malnosso force feed you?

Hmph! Like I'd know that. How do you think they turned you into a girl?

O-OI! Don't make me think about something like that! That makes me uncomfortable.

[And then she shivers.]

You're uncomfortable?? Why are you still like that, anyway? It should have worn off by now.

How should I know!? I've been like this forever, they won't change me back!
