( what up, futuro. the message comes in the form of video transmission without preamble or introduction, but he doesn't really need that, anyway. )

Looks like ALASTAIR's assembled a whole collection of characters from across the universes, huh? Pardon my asking, but what're your homelands like? Figure if I'm not gonna go elsewhere anytime soon, it'd be interesting to hear about yours. Since, you know - we've got a bit of downtime.

( while looking as though some sort of accident at first, all becomes clear once the speaker reveals herself. it's a little surreal that he fully comprehends why the strawhats' navigator is acting this way - all thanks to law - and ace lets her recover first, before speaking. just in case. )

Nami, right? From Luffy's crew? ( his grin is sheepish, slightly apologetic, and he waves a little. ) Fancy seein' you here. It's... a little weird, I know.

Yes... that's right.

[ She can't help but bite her lip, watching him carefully, trying to stop her bottom lip from trembling. Luffy's brother... is he really- ]

Is it really you? I- I thought... in the newspaper- [ She pauses, shaking her head a little. No matter how much she wishes those horrible days would be just a nightmare, that her captain would have never lived through them-- ] No... it happened. So how can it be, that you're here?

Believe me, it's something I've been asking myself since wakin' up in this place. ( so, maybe his brother's navigator could be from yet another point in the timeline, separate from law and himself, but she knows about marineford -- ace doesn't think he'll ever quite get over this. )

Thought this was some kind of limbo, really, but some of the other folks I spoke to in here are pretty sure they haven't died, so -- I guess not. Maybe. ( welp. it wouldn't hurt to be optimistic. ) Lots of questions and too few answers. Anyway, how's everyone doing?

[ She's quiet for a moment, expression serious as she puzzles it over... but in the end, she is a Straw Hat, and so she shakes her head and smiles. ]

Whatever the reason... it doesn't matter! As long as you're here, it's okay! [ Isn't that right? ]

By "everyone", I assume you mean your little brother? Luffy is... Luffy. His group just met up with ours on Zou, after he had defeated Doflamingo. [ And since you asked: ] He's also declared war against Big Mom, and plans for us to take down Kaido as well... [ If it's possible for a voice to be fond and exasperated and a little, teensy bit afraid at the same time, that'd be Nami's right now. You know, SAME OLD, SAME OLD... ]
