[This'll start out as a large amount of silence, maybe a bit of static. The feed will cut off every now and then. She doesn't know how to say this. All the emotions that have been forming in the pit of her stomach. It hurts, and she knows that it hurts everyone else. Still, she can't just sit at the bottom of the ocean and pout for the rest of

[...heh. Well. That answers that question.]

You sound like you weathered it well.

[sea_king_bait]

[Woah. Nami? That's a voice she didn't expect to hear. She knows that Nami has been elusive, and upset lately, so when she does respond, it's quiet.]

It wasn't so bad, for me. Smoker-chin was a great dad.

[mikangirl]

[Stifling the small flare of annoyance at that. As far as Nami's concerned, the guy's a jerk - but she knows he'd have done right by Keimi.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[sea_king_bait]

[She knows that you two don't get along, though she doesn't really understand it.]

How...are you, Nami-chin?

[mikangirl]

[Oddly she didn't really mind Smoker that much. At least, not until their last conversation.]

I'm okay. Sorry I haven't been around much.

[sea_king_bait]

[Nod nod.]

You have your reasons, but it's nice to actually see you again.

[She misses her friends, man ;A;]

[mikangirl]

Ahh, I'll be home again soon. So we can catch up then. [She's not exactly sure when 'soon' is, mind.]

...so have the other members of your 'family' chimed in? [She sees a few have, but...]

[sea_king_bait]

N-no, actually...

[mikangirl]

...

The experiment was hard on a lot of people. Give them time.

[sea_king_bait]

[Nod.]

That's why I wanted to throw a party. Maybe I can cheer everyone up...even if it's just for a night.

[mikangirl]

It's not a bad idea. [It'll smooth over the more minor awkwardness between people, at least.]

[sea_king_bait]

Does that mean you'll come?

[Because that would probably make her day.]

[mikangirl]

[...she knows.

...]

I...

...not. Until-- I have to work things out first, Keimi.

Sorry.

[sea_king_bait]

[She retreats a bit, her eyes darkening. She should be upset with this, but really, she understands. Or, at least, she'll try to.]

O-okay.

...If you need anything. I'll...I mean...

[mikangirl]

I know.

... and you know. Maybe I can work things out before you actually have your party. Then I can still come.

[It's the best she can offer, Keimi ;;]

[sea_king_bait]

[She smiles softly, nodding.]

As long as you're happy, Nami-chin.
