From very early days!

[namigational]

I've talked to that other girl in your head. Your idea sucks. Couldn't I be a little older? Even another month?

...heck, I'd take another week. Her tattoo is much nicer than this one, you know.

[lordofthesea]

Yeah, yeah. Suck it up. I like you better this way anyway.

[namigational]

Of course you do. I'm your irreplaceable navigator, aren't I?

[Weird. The other girl didn't mention you, after the fact.]

[lordofthesea]

Damn straight. And don't forget it.

[namigational]

[You say that like I ever could. But her only vocal reaction is a non-committal mhm.]

[lordofthesea]

You'll never really be that girl anyway, you know. It's all just some kind of fairy tale you tell yourself. You know right where you belong.

[namigational]

I belong with you, of course. [It's an easy enough admission.] Until you get your 100 million beri. That is still the deal, right?

{There's an edge there that suggests she's heard otherwise. But maybe Arlong can convince her that isn't the case.]

[lordofthesea]

Are you implying that I don't keep my word? This is money we're talking about and when have I ever reneged on a deal?

[namigational]

No, no. I was just making sure. Things seem weird in a place like this, that's all. It's good to fall back on something reliable.

[imonashark]

Pfffft. You want your mun to force you to get older? What about all the adventures you're gonna miss out on?

[namigational]

[...

...y-yeah, well who asked you anyway. :|]

It's not that. It's that she wants to send me to a place where I don't get to have all of them, okay.

[imonashark]

Seriously...? But why would she do something like that??

You should think about getting a replacement-mun.

[namigational]

Oh, that's a good idea. I don't suppose you know how?

[imonashark]

Nope! I mean, it's not my problem. My mun doesn't seem like as big of a jerk as yours!

[And then he just laughs and laughs. But he pauses after a little while.]

Oh! The other me's in my muns head said that you were a good navigator and that I should ask you to join my crew. So will you join? I'd really appreciate it!

[namigational]

[...wait what. See, this doesn't make sense, because right now you should be hating on her annnnd actually wait, 'said that you were a good navigator'...?]

...uh.

Haven't we been through this already?

[imonashark]

We have...?

[Hmmm. He doesn't remember it.]

Ahh, well forget all that. Will you join my crew?

[lordofthesea]

Hey, hey, kid. Stop trying to jack my navigator. Get your own.

[ohcaptainmy]

Oooooi! Nami! Where aaaaaarrrreeeee weeeeeeee?

[ He whines, bored to be stuck in one place for so long. ]

I already waited two years, we need to hurry or else everyone will get ahead of us!

[namigational]

[...what. You make no sense whatsoever, rubber man. :|]

Waited for what?

[ohcaptainmy]

Eh? Don't you remember?

[ Who's the dumb one now?! Not even remembering something so simple. ]

[namigational]

[Yeesh, each and every Luffy. None of you make sense. >E]

I remember stealing your ship and all the treasure. If you waited two years for that, you're more of an idiot than I thought.

[ohcaptainmy]

[ This is a surprise of the highest order! ]

Nami! Your memories! Did someone steal them!? DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD ON SOMETHING?!

1/2

[namigational]

I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO--

[namigational]

[--wait.]

Hang on. [Because he doesn't look quite as...um. Staring at his chest. What's with that scar? Did he have it before this? Kinda hard to tell given his shirt used to be different. But. There is the other girl in this headspace...]

What am I supposed to remember?

[ohcaptainmy]

How can I get your memories back...

[ He disappears for a moment then returns with...one of Sanji's frying pans. ]

Nami, just stand still!

[namigational]

[OH DON'T EVEN--]

Luffy, I swear if you hit me with that you won't live long enough to make it to the Grand Line.
