[When Vivi comes to her senses, she's in the forest, walking--really, 'wandering' would be more apt, since she has no idea how she got there, nor where she's going. Judging by the dirty state of her bare feet, she must have been at it for a while. Once she registers her surroundings, however, she stops short with a startled gasp. There's something

[While Vivi is wandering the forest, she may hear running water nearby. If she nears the river she can see an outline of a man sitting up against a tree. There was a sword that had been stabbed into the ground in front of him, it's blade shined a most peculiar blue color. His attention though, seem to be on what he had in his hand.

A book full of written notes and he was constantly writing and changing things in it.]

That can't be right... [A strange glyph appears in front of the sword and its properties were changed somehow, because now the blade shown an emerald color. Sword light show anyone?]

[fallenambitions]

[He blinks, glancing down at her. He recognized the two names she had listed.]

You know Luffy's crew?

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Ah, so it seems he does know them. ...but not where they live. Hm.]

[She nods] They're my nakama. Do you know any of them well? [She doesn't remember anyone mentioning him before, but there are a lot of people here to keep track of, and she's only met a fraction of them so far.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[...] Is that another word for friends, comrades?

I'm acquainted with Nami, or at least, she knew me before I did. It's quite complicated.

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Another nod.] Yes, that's it.

[Now she's curious, but she doesn't want to pry. Maybe a gentle nudge he can choose to ignore if he wants...] Nami-san certainly knows a lot of people here.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

She has been here for quite some time. [He looks away, just to survey the forest and make sure nothing decided to come at him...like a large overprotective wolf.]

Why the thought? Does she normally not know many people regularly?

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

Mm. [She shrugs.] It's not exactly like that. I think it's more that pirates rarely stay for too long in one place. [Which is why she had to part ways from her friends when they left Alabasta.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

I see your point. [Nope, don't look like he's going to go into detail. He'll stop once they finally reached the edge of the forest and back into the village. CB2 was just to their right.]

All right, do I just continue down this road?

[Action] you are making me look at MAPS ;__;

[alabastajewel]

[Fair enough; she won't press it (though she may have to ask Nami about him later~). She takes a moment to take in their surroundings--things look a lot different at this size, so she wants to make sure she has her bearings.]

Yes, that's right. Just take the northern fork.

[Okay, let's try a different conversation tack, then.] What was it you were doing with that sword in the forest? I've never seen anything like it.

[Action] I is sorry D:

[fallenambitions]

[That'll be a fun tale. And Vivi, don't ask too much, he could easily crush you. Moving along the path then.]

I was trying to understand how this world is able manage so many different types of energy sources. One world doesn't exactly run on the same kind of energy as another after all. And yet this place is capable of making all these resources work seamlessly. I'm wondering if the properties of things from home have somehow changed upon arrival.

[He could probably go on and on about this. As for what the sword was actually used for? That is a secret.]

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[It's not anything she's thought about before, but now that he points it out...]

I see. Any luck?

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[Oh good, you're distracted.]

Well as you probably saw in the forest, I haven't been quite successful. I should consider seeing if the community has anything to offer.

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Well, it's kind of interesting, even if she doesn't completely understand it.]

Mm. You certainly got some sort of reaction, but I guess it wasn't what you were looking for? [She leans an elbow on her knee, relaxing a bit more as they walk.] What was it meant to do?

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

It wasn't suppose to react so violently. I was merely collecting data, not trying to alter the information.

[They've now passed CB1 and several homes.] I'm impressed how well you've been handling your current situation. [Suddenly finding yourself tiny has to be daunting.]

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi gives a small, somewhat embarrassed laugh.] Truthfully, I think I'm still in shock, a bit. Though it's not...entirely unfamiliar. I knew some giants back home.

[Of course, there are still a world of differences between that situation and this one, first and foremost that she is the one smaller, so it only appears everyone and everything she comes across is enormous. And it would be a lie to say she's not worried about how long this will last, but she's doing her best to push that concern aside for now. Her first priority is getting back to her crew.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

Giants, in your world? [We have giant talking monsters back home, not actual giants.]

Am I getting close? [Is there possibly a pirate flag he can notice?]
