first howl; accidental voice

[sortabeautiful]

[A low, reverberating growl comes across the magical network loud and clear. Heavy footfalls crash through the underbrush, back and forth, angry snarls rising and falling as the creature paces back and forth. Any paying attention to the snapshots can see brief flickers of a tail and a large, menacing snout - both a deep russet color - but it's gone

[NOT A FAN of dangerous growly noises like that. At all. But the guy seems like he's really upset, too. Debating, debating...]

D-do you know where you are?

[voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[Probably shouldn't try petting the puppy, either.]

Not a clue.

[voice]

[sniperkingftw]

[With the sounds coming out of that puppy? I think not. Now what was the first most important thing he would have liked to know when he got here?]

This place is called Luceti.

And you're not dead, I swear. I don't really know what the wings do, though, since we're not.

[voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[Aw, come on! Puppy's not rabid! He's just cross.]

The thought never crossed my mind. [Actually, that's a lie. It did, but then he took a snap at one of those wings and felt pain.]

What's going on here?

[voice]

[sniperkingftw]

[Maybe when he's had a go at a chew-toy for a while.]

Ah, I guess not a lot of people think that, then. I did, though.

Someone called the Malnosso...brought people here from different worlds. ['brought' has a much nicer ring than 'kidnapped,' doesn't it?] Nobody really knows why. Has anyone shown you that guide yet? Oh! Do you need someone to find you?

[voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[A sparkly, rock hard chewtoy sounds good right about now.]

Someone just dumped it on me. [And that 'finding' offer is tempting, but he's in a rather critical state of undress. Thus, not a good idea.] No, I'll find my way there on my own... someone said something about a village?

[voice]

[sniperkingftw]

[Yeah well. Usopp hasn't met any of those just yet.]

Yeah, there are a lot of people here. And shops, too. If you had any weapons or clothes or items, you'll probably be able to find them in one of those.

Oh, and I'm Usopp! If you need anything, I'll do whatever I can to help.

[voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[Good. Stay away from them and join Team Wolfpack.]

Weapons? [O-kay, that's not something that's usually tossed around so casually.]

Thanks, Usopp. [Weird name, decent guy.] I'm Jacob. Jacob Black.

[voice]

[sniperkingftw]

[Well he IS super awesome wolfman that WON'T eat Usopp. Can he defend him from the mallynapping robots come hiatus time?]

Yeah, some people lose their weapons when they get sent here.

No problem! [He'd say the same of Jacob, but yeah, heard weirder. Wait til you meet the crew, dude.]

[voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[... probably not, but he'll definitely try!]

I didn't know everyone carried a weapon around with them. [Then again, with vampires and werewolves existing, he's not doubting it.] What's waiting in that village of yours? Besides the weapons and clothes, that is.
