[Voice/Action] Forward-dated to morning

[mikangirl]

Oh, it's a den den--

[Whoops, journal dropped in the snow. Possibly because the owner just sneezed. And now, picked up by a corner! There's a flash of orange hair and some crazy swinging of the journal window to pick up trees before the picture decides to settle on a coat button.]

--people were talking, I can't hear them any-- oh! There they are

[...Selling a talking reindeer?

Katara quickly scrambles over to the book to replay the whole message.]

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

[...oh, ha, ha, Luceti. Ha ha.

There's just no mistaking that face or that coloring. Even the voice...]

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

[...why is child!Nami selling Chopper? Is Chopper all right??

And what are 'beri?']

[Noel was in the area, trying to sneak around to put this coat somewhere where a certain someone could find it before laying eyes on the pair. She recognizes Chopper, but the other one...

...well, there's no mistaking that orange hair, but why is she so short? It's not like she can outright approach them because of what body she's stuck in right now, but she's curious enough to stare for a good while and try to figure out what's wrong with Nami.]

[Action]

[mikanchibi]

[The coat she's wearing is probably familiar as belonging to Nami. Pity it's twice as long, but at least it means she can wrap it around those bare legs. |D And her feet are tucked under the snoring reindeer in front of her. ...and she's using him as a journal rest. >>

She is TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS to you being there, Noel. 8Db Which is just as well, 'cos you're kinda scary looking.]

[Action]

[nugoesmoo]

[Maybe if she gets closer, it might just seem like she was passing by and...yeah, sure, whatever. Let's try that.

She gets closer! At this point, Nami may be able to hear the crunching of snow.]

[mikanchibi]

[UH OH WHAT THERE'S NOT MEANT TO BE PEOPLE OUT HERE--

...

...

...staring. Staring. Eyepatch. Why aren't you wearing enough. Eyepatch. You have no shoes on! D: ... eyepatch>.]

Are you a pirate?

[...is this your reindeer. >_>]

[reactualized]

[ ... a talking reindeer ...

and "beri."

and an orange-haired child.

... oh dear.

trying very hard not to lineface and not entirely succeeding!, Xion speaks up after a moment. ]

... you know ... that's a pretty high price. [ ... she has no idea if it's high. but that seems a safe way to start... ]

voice; 1/2 oh god I miss my edit button

[mikanchibi]

[It'd help if she knew anything about economics, really. >_>]

...do you think so?

voice;

[mikanchibi]

[Wait, wrong attitude to have. Stubborn face goes here :|]

No, it's not. It's a talking reindeer. Do you know how rare they are?

voice;

[reactualized]

... you know, it's funny... I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those before.

[ all innocence over here. ]

You sure they're rare?

[Voice]

[liltroublesome]

Why would you want to be paid in berries? [SEEMS POINTLESS TO HIM, but he doesn't have ten million of them, so whatever. Kind of a bummer. He likes deer - his family raises them.]

[Voice]

[mikanchibi]

Not berries! Beri! [You know, money. Important stuff. Pay attention!]

[Voice]

[liltroublesome]

Tch, girls are so troublesome... What's the difference?

[Voice]

[mikanchibi]

[....]

You don't know what beri are?

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[There you are.

And to his utter relief, you sound fine... just adorably money-grubbing and cold.

He's not in the house, having taken off the moment Robin-chan explained the situation, but on his trek to find the girl, he's struck by how delicate the situation really is.

You = pirate hater, with good reason. And something tells him you won't take the truth or being dragged back to the house very well.

Alright then. He'll use a little more finesse.]

A steep price, little Miss~! But I might be interested.

[Voice]

[mikanchibi]

[Finally, some interest! A-although that's the second person who said it was expensive. Maybe talking reindeer aren't as rare as she thought. ...no, don't be silly. Maybe 10 million is just too much money. ...or wait. Maybe they're just saying that. Because no one wants to spend that much. Haggling skills, she has them. Maybe.

Either way, she beams at Sanji across the journal. Confident salesperson, go. only not.] Okay! But it's a good price. I bet he goes for fifty million on the Grand Line.

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

True. And I've never seen a talking reindeer before. [He should not be encouraging this.]

I'd like to see him in person first, before I make my decision. That alright, Miss?

[Voice]

[mikanchibi]

Um. Okay! [Oh wow. Must ...take him for all he owns. But she isn't going to be very helpful in other regards.] I'm in the forest! [She'll try to narrow it down >_>.] ...u-under a tree!
