010 [Voice] Backdated to the night of the festival

[threeswordsoul]

[There's a low half-growl in the background when the entry opens, a man's anger obscuring his words to near-unintelligibility - "...fucking cowardly thief, break into my house, I'll break your goddamn head" - which cuts off into oppressive silence... then Nami's voice, distinctly flat and weary.]

First off, whoever you are, you're an ass. You know

[Your father/in law is listening in on the conversations right now, since they're answering a few questions for him. He's pretty damn pissed right now, but he keeps a steady tone.]

I will personally look into this myself, but without any real leads it'll be difficult to track down the culprit or culprits.

Also do you still have any money? I can give some money to the two of you to use for the time being if needed.

You're welcome to come up and take a look at the mess they left-- I don't know if it'll help. [Nothing's broken, but they didn't know where the safe was-- that much, she can tell. She hasn't put anything back to rights, yet.]

And thanks, Dad. But I've still got money. [She's bright enough to keep it in several places. And in a quieter voice, because she knows it matters:] The orchard is untouched.

[Voice/Filtered -> Action]

[fallenambitions]

...Good. [Consider the culprit(s) dead should anything had happened to that orchard]

I'll be there shortly. [Without wasting anymore time, he starts making his way over to their place and there will be a knock at their door soon enough]

[Action]

[threeswordsoul]

[It's opened abruptly by a narrow-eyed son-in-law with a hand on his sword - which releases at the sight of Alexei as a miniscule amount of tension leaves Zoro.]

Hey.

[He backs off the door to let Alexei in.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[His hand was resting firmly on the hilt of his blade from Zoro's reaction, but soon relaxes.]

Evening. [He enters the premise and glances around at the mess that welcomed him. He sees the broken window off the corner of his eye.] Where was the safe?

[Action]

[threeswordsoul]

Behind the dresser in the bedroom.

[Zoro starts walking in that direction; there's more mess on the way, cabinets and closets opened and their contents strewn, bookshelves riffled through, etc. Infuriating evidence of a search that they haven't cleaned up in case there might be some kind of clue.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Nami's in the bedroom, perched quietly on the edge of the bed with a steaming mug of cocoa in hand. She's not quite staring at the open and empty safe, but her gaze off into space is close enough.

She'll lift her head when the two of them enter.]

...hey, Dad.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[He follows Zoro, glancing at all the mess around him. Whomever did this, is going to pay very dearly.

He comes to halt once he reached the bedroom]

...We'll find the one responsible. There's no where they can go with the barrier there and if they've taken a large sum it'll be difficult to hide it.

[Action]

[threeswordsoul]

Even harder to spend it. We're looking for a dumbass. [In oh-so-many-more than one sense.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[No real response from Nami, though she does give a faint snort at dumbass. Couldn't agree more.]
