From: Njord
Date: August 15, evening-- after the new arrivals show up

[Nami wastes no time. As soon as she finds herself back at this familiar place, as soon as she learns who her shinki is, as soon as she has the opportunity, she opens up her device to the BBS and fires it up to record the following message of utmost importance:]


WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!


[So we need answers, are we clear on that? Good. Next items of business! Tone shifts from outraged to worried.]

Zoro, are you still here? You better tell me you’re all right or I'm going to kill you!

Yata, where are you? I’m coming to find you.

[Nami takes that to mean Zoro turns into a sword for her. But the statement makes her simmer a little inside. She keeps her tone carefully neutral.]

Oh? What makes you say that?

[nibelungvalesti]

Quite aside from his vessel form, Zoro's love for swordsmanship is clear in his actions and behavior. While he seems easygoing enough that he would not complain about a god who did not share that particular love, I believe my ability pleases him.

[plight_of_the_navigator]

Ah, I'm sure it does. He did seem quite into swordsmanship. You're clearly better suited to be his god than I was.

[nibelungvalesti]

I see. You were his god as well as his friend. More becomes clear to me now.

I do not know if I am truly suited to be his god, but I know that together we are powerful -- by even my own measures as an Aesir. Odin himself...

[Would tremble? Would not like the Valkyrie gaining such strength, she realizes abruptly -- never mind that she is his to command, and acts in his name.]

[An interesting and perhaps alarming thought.]

...Suffice to say that I value his presence.

[plight_of_the_navigator]

I'm pretty sure no one is truly suited to be his god.

[Mainly because Zoro is not truly suited to have one.]

But I've heard from him that he think's you're all right. I'm glad for that.

[nibelungvalesti]

I am grateful for his approbation. [She sounds like she is being deadpan to the point of sarcasm... but honestly, she means it. She just sounds like that.]

[plight_of_the_navigator]

You should be. His standards are high. He wouldn't follow just anyone.

[nibelungvalesti]

Oh? He strikes me as fairly easy-going.

[Since she's never had cause to see his other side.]

[plight_of_the_navigator]

Yeah... he is, but that's different from what I'm talking about.

[Enies Lobby was so long ago, but it's hard to forget the fight between Luffy and Usopp, and Zoro's response to the ways for Usopp to acceptably (or unacceptably) return.]

[nibelungvalesti]

I see. Would you try to explain? I wish to understand him, that our partnership may be profitable and smooth.
