[ Action ]

[sniperkingftw]

[ There is an Usopp eating leftovers at your kitchen table, House 46. A very unhappy Usopp at that. In fact, he is not just unhappy, he is gloriously pissed off. One may note that he is alternating between glaring at his fork, glaring at the boots he lost last time he got kidnapped (they have been tossed into a corner to dry after the trek home)

[ Walking by the kitchen. WALKWALK.

Pause. Backtrack. btw the crickets have a pen ] Usopp?

[sniperkingftw]

[ Oh hey Zoro. Usopp will pause in turn and give you a Look. And then you can have a perfunctory wave. ]

[demoncutter]

[ Must be quite a Look if the "l" is capitalized. And, hm! Walking over and leannning on the table. ] You've been gone a while. Everything all right?

[sniperkingftw]

[ And in bold, no less. Usopp does live-action formatting. .__. Sort of twitching at that. Define "all right" in Usoppian terms. ]

[skulljokelol]

[Nun-uh - Brook totally still has that pen. Since you're nakama, he'll let you borrow it. Is Zoro talking to someone in the kitchen? OH HEY IT'S USOPP. He's happy to see you, but all that glaring is going to give him pause]

Usopp-san? Have you been back long? [He sees those boots, but he didn't even hear the door]

[mikangirl]

[This is a Nami shuffling past the kitchen, blinking, staring, and then ... descending on you with a relieved sound. FEAR THE HUGGING NAMI.]

Usopp!

[tanukipoint]

Usopp! You're back!

[gomugomunopwn]

Oi, Usopp!

[His smile is a little forced, sorry Usopp. He's happy to see you, but this whole kidnapping thing is getting a little ridiculous now. He really wishes he can stop it]

[oda_hates_me]

[there is talking going on in his kitchen, and he hears the cries of Usopp's name, so Sanji looks rather relieved when he enters.

... Something seems very, very weird though, and he founds himself staring at Usopp, trying to figure out what is bugging him]

Welcome back. [a pause] Oi, I would've made you something.

.__. crew thread, hi.

[sniperkingftw]

[ See, at some point while he's shaking his head in answer Brook's question because it hasn't been all that long there is a magical SURGE OF PEOPLE WTF AND THERE ARE DESCENDING NAMIS NOW?! UNDIGNIFIED SQUAWK GOES H- oh wait. No, it doesn't. Shit.

Smiles beget smiles, though, and everyone here is now accounted for as not-dead-or-being-stalked-at-the-moment, which is even better. Returned hug and less haet-face waves and the waving off of Sanji's sort-of-offer abound. ]

We suck like that.

[mikangirl]

[This is an unaccountably quiet Usopp. No squawking and no notifications of return, either. Uneasy thoughts do indeed occur.]

...what's wrong?

<3 you too.

[sniperkingftw]

[ Oi, he doesn't always squawk. He also screeches. How best to go about this without a writing utensil...? Captain Usopp is a master of charades, surely. We'll go with simple.

Pointing at his own neck. Following up with a sharp no-nonsense gesture of "not happening." ]

[skulljokelol]

Something happened to your voice? [To him that actually sounds more horrible than a regular injury, but personal reasons color that. But let's get some optimism in there!] Surely it isn't permanent!

[mikangirl]

[BRB vanishing into her room for one of her multitude of pens.]

[tanukipoint]

[T-THIS IS LIKE THE WORST THING EVER. Usopp, how will you tell Chopper stories!?]

Your voice is gone!? Let me see! [Open wide, you awful man.]

[sniperkingftw]

[ Usopp likes Brook's idea best. It's made with real-brand Optimism! But sir yes sir anyway, Doctor-face!Chopper. ]
