[Voice]

[An extremely irritable voice. And possibly familiar. Hi.]

Anyone want to explain why the orchard is here but my house isn't? I give you half a point for accuracy, you jerks. This place doesn't even have running water! How am I meant to take a bath?

[Not to mention her box of treasure is missing, but the guide did say money didn't exist here. ANOTHER CRIME TO LAY AT YOUR DOOR, LUCETI. >E]

[KINDA LIKE SHE IS. This is weird...Perona's not even sure how much she should give away, if this really is some kind of weird time thing. Really, how does that eve work? And why is she a part of this whole mess, anyway?! So unfair...]

You can believe what you like, but I know my facts. That disgusting fishman went down hard, and everything he had along with him. [The papers were pretty descriptive about it - his little park or whatever was in complete ruin. Honestly, Perona's starting to think these Straw Hats just leave a trail of ruin as they sail.] ...So you know nothing, how bothersome. I'll have to find my way myself then, you'll only be more of an annoyance.

[namigational]

By all means, don't let me stop you. [Must be before her time. He had come from the Grand Line, hadn't he? To pick on the puny humans. She wishes she'd been there to see it. Nami takes a step away from the ghosts and thrusts a finger out to point.]

Village is that way. Go knock yourself out.

[Literally. >:|]

[hollower]

[Nami, don't give her an actual reason to attack you, it's awfully hard to keep a promise not to kill anyone when they act like stuck up little turds. At the least Perona doesn't care much to really off anyone that's not a threat. She merely rolls her eyes and points her index finger in two directions, the hollows flying off respectively. She'll need them to scout ahead, just in case, and hopefully find a port...or this so-called village.]

Very good. I wouldn't want to bring myself down by lingering around you any more than I need! [...] But why would you bring up someone like Arlong? What business does someone like you have with that stinking mackerel?

[Color her curious.]

[namigational]

[Perona, you are not only a hypocrite but you are a living, walking reminder to Nami of why she shouldn't bother ever trying to be nice to anyone. Out of deference to you being new, she won't tell you to get the hell out of her orchard. (Also out of defence to those freaky ghosts. Shh.)

But as to that question.]

You're the one who thinks I'm beneath you. Hanging out with someone like Arlong shouldn't be that much of a stretch to the imagination. [The heat's gone right out of her words.]

[hollower]

[Excuse you, she has a wonderful reason not to like or trust you or any member on your crew who isn't a green-haired swordsman.

She frowns though, not entirely liking the answer nor the tone of this woman's voice. Ugh, she knew there was a reason she disliked these people...they're so snippy and ill-tempered! Whatever, it's not like she's trying to make friends or anything, she just wanted information the quickest and easiest way possible. Unfortunately, she has to do more work getting useful information, sadly. At the very least her ghostly scouts are getting some good info for her. And even more fortunate was that this woman wasn't lying - there was a village in the direction she indicated, not too far away, either. Hopefully they could find a port, too.]

That's not the answer I was looking for, but I suppose it really is none of my business, is it? [Yeah, she knows you don't trust her, and she could care less.] I just didn't think someone with a bounty already, half his own, would care you associate with him. But you must not even know that, yet. It's rather funny, actually...horohorohoro.

[namigational]

Whatever. [You make no sense, and there are hints at things that hurt in that passage of words if she cares to study it too intently, and so Nami decides not to.] Arlong's not here, and my association with him doesn't mean a damn thing until the day he sets foot in this place. You want to ask your questions then, ask him to his face. I'll book a ringside seat.

[hollower]

[Hmph! What a testy woman indeed, but Perona doesn't pry any more. At the very least, she can see this is a topic that has some kind of significance negative definitely, to the so-called Burglar Cat. Whatever, it's not of any importance, though she was curious... Seems the past will remain in the past, which she's very much okay with in regard to her own.]

As if someone like him would ever be let out of prison... And what do you mean here? What island is this? If you know something, then I demand you tell me!

[namigational]

[Nami's response is to twitch an eyebrow.

Then she does a sharp turn and stalks two steps to the right, digging her toes under the leather edge of a book on the ground, and kicks it up in the direction of Perona's head.]

Read up. It's yours. [Even says PERONA on the front.] It'll tell you all you want to know.

[hollower]

[With a sharp yelp, Perona hands go up reflexively and catch the journal before it does any real damage. It still hit her, but no where near as hard as it could have. Rrrgh--! Damn woman! She ought to just pluck that ripe little orange of a head right off her shoulders, the blasted witch. ...Or just go with the classic. Don't mind that cute giggling ghost heading your way, Nami. 8D

Meanwhile, Perona's going to sneak a peek into this little book...thing.]

This has my name on it...but I don't remember ever owning such an ugly book. Or one as strange as this. [Why are there buttons in a book, wht the fuck even.]

[namigational]

[You're talking to yourself, Perona. There seems to be some screaming coming from an avenue of mikan trees over as Nami tries running like a madwoman away from your stupid ghost. :| HAPPY READING.]
