♞ XI. written & action.

Is there a reason the village was empty the other day? [Everyone keeps talking about a "missing day", but that's not an answer. ...not that he expects a good one.] And something else— Where do you go when you want to get away from someone?

[He doesn't bother filtering that last part. Why bother? If he wants to ragequit his house, then dammit, he will.

Kind of like today. In order to get away from the general annoyance that is his house, he is reading quietly in the tea shop. Surely no one would expect to find him there, right?!]

Because no one seems to remember that day. [That figures. There was always something to complicate things.] I wouldn't have believed anything that guy said anyway.

[And in fact, the idea that so many people took his offer seriously really pissed him off...!]

[mikangirl]

No. I generally tend to take everything he says with a grain of salt. [If she'd known about it she might have been the same. 8| But Nami has been way out of the loop in recent weeks.] I'd really like to know what he was trying to do here, but I guess I'm not talking to him any time soon.

[holyknights]

[It takes him a moment to realize what she might be talking about.]

Is it because of what happened at the battle dome?

[mikangirl]

From the looks of things, they're connected, yeah. Though I couldn't say for sure.

[holyknights]

Do you know what happened there?

[mikangirl]

From all reports, a bunch of droids burst into the place and raided Catherine's lab. They took all his stuff and left him for dead. I'm not...sure why, just yet. [To steal his research or just because they didn't like him, really. It's very easy to dislike Catherine. >>]

[holyknights]

I think it would've happened sooner or later.

[He completely agrees. :'|]
