[Voice/Action] Enter Monkey D. Luffy

[Voice]

[Hello Luceti. Hope you're ready for a little midnight screaming over your journals. Hopefully you didn't leave it open tonight by accident.]

AHHHHHH!!!

I'M DEAD ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!???

[He didn't even get the chance to find Nami!]

[Action]

[If for some reason you are out in the forest in the middle of the night, you might notice the teen screaming and having a total freak out about this sudden change of events. He was just alive too. And now he was an angel, the feck.]

It wasn't like I planned on it!!

[Wait.]

Eh? Who said that? [Looking left and right but not seeing anyone. Hmmm. That's weird.

... Is that a book over there.]

[He blinks drearily.]

Me! Aang.

Don't die, Luffy. Just be alive, okay?

Aang? Man you got a weird name...

[In fact, now that he thinks about it.]

... I don't even know an Aang! [How do you know his name but he has never heard of yours?]

But I'm an Aang... I'm the Aang!

[Some more blinking, consciousness now putting itself together. ...And surprise finally setting in.]

Wait a second - Luffy! You're back?

... Ooooh I get it. Your name is kind of like boomerAang right? I knew it sounded a little familiar.

[But another person who he has never met who knows his name.]

Back? But I was never here in the first place was I?

Boomeraang....

[Rubbing at eyes.]

You were! I mean... you don't remember. It doesn't matter. But... you're here, now?

Yeah, I guess I am.

... But how could I have been here and not remember it? I haven't been sailing for that long. [It hasn't even been a year!]

I guess you could say this place is magic. You come here magically and when you go home you don't remember and it's like nothing happened. And then if you magically come back, sometimes you don't remember being here at all. So... it's all magic.

[Okay all he got out of that was "magic magic magic magic". But he thinks he can figure out the gist.]

I think I got it. It's like a "Forget-me-village". [That he SORT of kind of made up just now.]

That's... I guess it's a pretty good way of describing it! It also keeps us stuck here and with wings. You forgot, but we're friends.

We are?? Damn, Forget-Me-Village.

[Making him forget things.]

Sorry, but I can't remember you at all. And usually I definitely wouldn't forget someone with an arrowhead. [That's just something you don't forget.]

That's okay, Luffy. I understand! Nami didn't remember me either. But we can get to know each other all over again! It'll be fun.

Eh? Nami?

She was here too? [He thought he was the only one!]

Yeah! I mean... She still is! She didn't remember me either. And it's weird... It's like she didn't even remember really being part of your crew, either.

[If Nami was here that was a good thing! But her not remembering being a part of his crew? HMMM.]

...

What did she say?

A lot of things! Let me think...

She said she wasn't a pirate and that they were monsters. But she did say she knew you and you're not like other pirates!

...But also that you're better off without her. I didn't get what that means because I know you two make a great team!

...

Better off?

[His voice sinks a little lower in pitch than normal.]

That's what she said?

I... I think so. But maybe she was just being silly!

She wouldn't be silly about something like that!

[And that's what pisses him off the most. What kind of crew is better off without a navigator?]

Do you know where she is?

I'm - I'm not sure. She may be staying by her mikan grove...

A mikan groove? Yosh, she did tell me she only liked money and mikans.

Thanks, Aang! Where is it west??! [As if he can actually figure out where that is. Or if Aang actually knows where it is to where HE is.]

What? It should be... north, by the farm!

Please don't go bother her when it's the middle of the night...

...

FINE! TOMORROW! [That works!]

M-maybe! You know, it could be nice to give her some space for a while. I mean... I'm confused about a lot of things, but you two might not even be from the same time. So it might be best to be careful, or you might give her a big expectation that she won't think she'll live up to. [He's trying to be considerate - and perhaps to an extent, projecting problems that came from his time difference with Katara - not yet realizing that Luffy could have been from an earlier time, too.]

No, you don't get it. She's already had enough space, if I don't go to her, she'll never talk to me.

[She stole their ship, there's no way she's going to come to him now. At least not as soon as he would like. Blunt force, that's Luffy's motto!]
