[from here] So far, so good; Junpei wasn't feeling any compulsion to go someplace he wasn't intending to. It was a relief to know that Evangeline wasn't going to vampire him to her side that night, despite the implications from earlier. Then again... what if where he was heading was where she wanted him to go all along, so it just didn't feel

That train of thought was pleasantly derailed by the sound of a familiar laugh. Turning, Usopp grinned at the sight of Brook's unmistakable outline. "Brook? Brook. Brook!" It wasn't far down the hallway, but he still jogged over as fast as he could, doing all but grabbing the pirate and clutching for dear life. "Brook, it's me, Usopp! I'm coming with you, okay?"
He wouldn't be traveling alone now, and Brook might have a better idea of where to go in this place. Wandering aimlessly, when there might have been giant insects or the undead around any corner, did not appeal much. Or rather, the undead who weren't part of their crew. Brook had died, so he probably still counted, even with the new body.

"Ah, but I was just coming to see if you or Luffy-san were aroud! Since your rooms are so close and all. I'm glad I found you!" he said with a much more cheerful laugh now, "Have you seen our captain around then?"

"I haven't seen Luffy, so I thought he'd probably gone somewhere before I left my room." Getting the bandanna made and otherwise getting dressed had taken a little while, after all. "I haven't seen Luffy at all here yet, really. Or Zoro. I'm glad you found me, too!"

"I'm glad you found me too!" Brook exclaimed, then looked towards the door he had been about to enter. "Perhaps we can still see if Luffy-san is in his room? Trying to find Zoro-san would take all night," he added with a soft laugh. He'd been lucky to find the first mate the night before, but twice in one evening? Not with the kind of luck Brook had! Or the lacking sense of direction Zoro had...
Brook pushed the door open, "It's all right if he isn't there though. I really just wanted to check if the piano I left was still there. It would be terrible to plan a meety and then have it suddenly turn up missing or not work you know!" They could manage, but it would be a tragic loss, "Shall we?"

"Sure. Let's go. It's just back where I came. Oh, I guess you know that, since you already went there before!" Usopp laughed a little awkwardly, then headed back down the hallway. Even if there were no signs of Luffy in the room, seeing Brook's piano sounded good too. Usopp still wanted to see how a person stole (pirated, that was) a piano, then hid it in a closet.
