[ nami, in her typical fashion of not conforming to expectations, does dress up but forgoes the mask entirely... well, almost. but for the most part, it's hidden in her purse. ]

( a. ) [ about halfway through the evening, she decides to step outside for some air, and finds her way to the fountain. there she sits, at its side, and mutters a spell that seems to... do absolutely nothing, except then the surface of the water shimmers, then swirls, and finally little fish, water-clear, jump out of the fountain. they swim through the air before the spell wears out and they explode into droplets, falling on top of her... and anyone unsuspecting who is sitting nearby. ]

Oops, sorry! [ she's laughing, though, water droplets in her hair and on her cheeks, and doesn't seem to be all that sorry. ]

( b. ) [ the changing backgrounds in the photobooth are fascinating, and nami spends a lot of time going through them, changing it from one to another and then yet another. ]

Hmm, no, beach isn't good, maybe something else... oh, a castle! Ehh, maybe not. It's too fancy. [ then, changing it again, she turns to whoever happens to be within earshot, ] What do you think of this one? Does it clash with my dress?

[ of course, nami drinks liberally; with her tolerance, why wouldn't she? there's no danger of getting too drunk, as long as she keeps pauses in the middle and eats something. but speaking of eating — ]

Hey, you have to try that! [ pointing at a dish that looks absolutely divine in the middle of the table, nami grabs the arm of anyone nearby and gestures enthusiastically. ] It's made by the most talented cook in the world! So you definitely won't be disappointed! [ since her captain isn't here to sing the praises of their crew's cook... someone's got to do it! ]

[ she's certainly not one you need to force to the dancefloor — instead, nami twirls through it with apparent delight, making up moves to suit the music, sometimes fluid and graceful, sometimes bouncing up and down with the beat.

during one of these songs, she's so focused on dancing that she bumps into someone — perhaps a fellow dancer, or someone simply trying to cross to the other side of the room. in any case, she grins at them easily and says, ]

Oh, great! Dance with me! [ she's already reaching for her poor victim, so better get those excuses ready if you're not here to dance... ]

[ the only time nami actually dons her mask is during the games... and the reason for it becomes apparent with the way she moves from game to game, betting high every time, and somehow leaving with excellent wins. she acts like she's aiming for an oscar, bluffs outrageously, but if she cheats... well, at least no one can catch her at it.

once she's done enough damage, she collects her winnings... and upon seeing someone watching her, she winks.

depending on if it's someone she knows, she may remove her mask; if it's a stranger, it stays on. for now. ]

[ wildcard something for early party, or late evening! she's delighted about the trinkets, and will certainly be dancing and drinking until early dawn.
