[Action/Voice, backdated to morning]

[mikangirl]

[Sup, Straw Hats (...and possible assorted guests). This morning, your everyday post-earthquake-recovery routine is broken by the sound of glass shattering in the bathroom, followed a pale and jittery-looking navigator wrapped in a towel and clutching a change of clothes throwing the door open and stalking straight for her bedroom, slamming the

[Action y'all] ... wrong icon

[markofthewise]

[Between a food shortage and likely having house guests, Sokka has been able to return to one of his true callings: hunting. Not just small game. Rather, Nami will find Sokka in the woods, having just recently brought down a deer. A poor, innocent deer that was probably Bambi's mother. How tragic.]

[Action] you and your wrong icons

[mikangirl]

[She's not about to speak up in defence of the deer. Humans have to eat. :| Upon seeing Sokka and his freshly murdered deer that no doubt orphaned a half dozen fawns, she'll pause and lean against a tree to watch. Not entirely sure whether she should interrupt a hunter at work, really.]

[Action]

[Preparing the meat comes later. Right now Sokka is just making preparations to drag it home. When he goes to the other side to lift it up for pulling a rope through, he happens to notice Nami watching him. Er. Well then.]

Oh. Hey.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Hey. How are you doing? [You know. Now that the world has fallen down around everyone's ears.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Fine, I guess. [He continues working regardless. The worst of what's happened is behind them, now they're just in survival mode.] What are you doing out here? [Are we luring villains again?]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Taking a walk. It happens on occasion. [Though admittedly, it's the first time she's hit the forest on her own. Hush, villains what villains, they all went home. Pay no attention to Nu down there.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well, I guess that makes sense. [For anyone else in the village. He looks around uneasily, as if expecting Yuber to jump out of a tree at any second.] I can't blame you, though. I hear you guys have a full house.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Yeah, pretty much. Though I don't mind. Better they've got somewhere safer to sleep. [Hey, trust her. She's taking precautions out here at least. :| Not the least of which is apparently Luffy lurking around somewhere nearby, the creeper.]

...how's your house holding up?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Indeed. Is that a straw hat Sokka sees in the bushes? Nah, couldn't be.]

Pretty good, you could say. It wasn't anywhere near the the main action. That means we don't have to climb over rubble to get to the house. So, you know, that part's good. [He glances down at the deer.] And we're handling the food issue.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Good. At least most of the town is being smart about their food. [Possible bush lurker may be excepted, but they're keeping an eye on him.] Our house is the only one untouched where we are. Someone has a sense of humour.

[Nodding at the deer. She looks kinda uncertain, but she'll make the offer anyway.] Need a hand?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah... I noticed. My old house was demolished. [Good thing he moved. He'd have no house. And would've been neighbors with the Straw Hats. Fun.]

Are you headed back to town? [Because he doesn't think so.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

I'm not, but I can be if you need the extra hand. [Faint shrug. The offer's there, but hey.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[He considers it for a moment, but...]

No. No, I've got it. I could carry it on my back if I wanted to. It's nothing. [He's macho.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Fair enough. You doing this every day?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Nah, not everyday. This'll probably last us a little while.

[Action]

[mikangirl]

Whatever helps. Have you got many people staying with you?
