28th Confession [Lotsa' Action/Video]

[not_a_bluesbro]

[Wolfwood had been taken Sunday night, but surprisingly, they didn't keep him for long. Monday afternoon spat him right back out onto normal Luceti grounds. And to what? To being miniature again. Four years ago, Nicholas had ventured Luceti, looking unkept and nervous. Now, he's still unkept, but in a way that seemed to just be a lack of caring-

[You know, Nami is having difficulty sleeping for some angsty reason or other of late; when Wolfwood sneaks into the Straw Hat house, she's sitting quietly on the couch in the dark and nursing a hot drink.

...well, she could throw a hot tea at you, mystery intruder. B| But honestly, she pities anyone who breaks into this house that isn't, you know, blowing a hole through the wall or teleporting in. She figures you're harmless. Nami just watches this mystery guy lazily to see what he does.]

[notpunishingyet]

[Oh, the joys of growing up a little. As an assassin-in-training. He can't see very well, but he has a sneaking feeling that he's being watched... So he listens very carefully, pausing mid-step.

It can't be anyone he'd need to worry about; this isn't a hostile place. Well, not yet, anyway. So as long as no one's shooting at him, he's perfectly content to remain calm. :|a]

Uh... Who's there?

[He lowers his cross, and walks out a bit, and a shadowy outline of the weapon, laying sideways and carried by the strap, hits the back wall.]

[mikangirl]

[...cross.

Why the hell is Wolfwood sneaking into their house with his cross. B| In the dark, she's not sure how old he is-- until he opens his mouth.

Huh.]

I think you've got the wrong house, Wolfwood.

[.... :|

Give him a minute to remember the cupcake lady Nami. :^D

Until then, confusion!]

I know it's not my house. I was just-uh... visiting...

[Amelia never manages to get her lunch after her trip over the marauding bridge. What waits for her instead are a group of robots, ones she's never seen for herself, but whose purpose she knows. Unfortunately, Amelia can't overwhelm them, and she's taken away with only her hat left behind to show that she had been there at all.

Yet the mallynap itself is short, because only a few hours later, there's a new girl showing up in the middle of the village. She's young, only 11 or 12 at the most, but maybe someone will recognize that bright red hair? Not that she'll know anyone else though. No, Amelia has no idea where she is, or what this strange book beside her could be. So she sits up, looking around in confusion as she tries to figure out just what's going on.]

[Nicholas is busying himself with making it to the bakery when he sees that particular shade of hair. Not familiar at all, but still attention-grabbing nonetheless.

... She looks confused. Not his problem!

.... Hnnngh. Making his way over with cross in tow on his back. He tries so hard. :|]

You okay?

Re: [action]

[thedicearecast]

[As if Amelia doesn't have enough to be confused about. Now there's some boy coming over dragging...just what is that supposed to be anyway? Well, it's not like Amelia really cares. He's asking if she's all right, so maybe he can help her.]

No. Where am I?

Re: [action]

[notpunishingyet]

[Hrmmm. He scratches the back of his head.]

That depends on if you'll believe me. It's pretty out there.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Huh, it's funny. That startled, shocked, annoyed, and embarrassed stuttering you hear when you ask about Vash? It seems to not only be coming from the journal, but just over a few feet as well.

Guess who is already out looking for you? Well, okay, he was actually out looking for Meryl. He wasn't expecting you to come back first seeing as you only went missing last night.]

[notpunishingyet]

[.... What even.]

[Voicey Action!!!]

[notpunishingyet]

[Tuuuurning toward the noises of idiocy.]

What's your problem, spikey-head?

[Voicey Action? My favorite!] 1/2

[goldenglasses]

[Oh, hey! He found you!] There you are, Wo-

[crybabyofdeath]

[Livio spies with his little eye a... child Wolfwood eating delicious sugary things? Okay so it may not be his Wolfwood but damn it, it still tugs at his heart strings. Which, are pretty easy to tug so that really isn't saying too much about him.

But oh, right, Wolfwood wouldn't recognize him at all, would he? So instead of just calling out his name and half expecting Wolfwood to know him or anything silly like that, he'll just... pretend he's just a stranger. So he'll just casually stand in his general vicinity with some bread. Yeah, nothing weird about enjoying baked goods in a bakery, right?]

Is it any good?

[Okay so maybe a slightly creepy stranger depending on how you feel about adults trying to strike up friendly and casual convo's with kids half their age. Even if he is genuinely friendly and not "friendly".]

Re: [Action]

[notpunishingyet]

[It's all good; Nick's been working on his people skills these last few years. Though, he'd be giving them Double Fangs a swift but curious glance before looking back at the face of the stranger.

You're dangerous, mister. He's well-aware. But then... it wasn't too bad as long as you don't plan to do any old fashioned shootings around here, right?]

It's really good. I don't eat much stuff like this at home.

[oh sweet delicious cookies, i will never let you gooo]

[Action]

[crybabyofdeath]

[This guy is a highly trained assassin, don't think for one second he didn't notice that glance. But he won't bring it up for now. He'll just take another bite out of his banana bread. Om nom nom.]

I can't say I have them a lot either, especially back home. [YEAH TRY ALMOST NEVER.] But that's part of what makes it so good, right?

[He has to resist his urge to be a mother hen to Nicholas.]

Re: [Action]

[notpunishingyet]

[Then he can definitely make note of the hideously tall cross sitting against the table next to him. It's definitely his height. Maybe even taller. :|]

Yeah. There's a lot of really good things here.

[He looks down, thoughtful.]

It'd be nice if they'd just let me stay here this time...

[Well the first thing that Milly sees is the cross, and upon seeing that cross she's going to come running across to see where the Priest that's usually attached to said cross has gotten to.]

Mr Priest?

[Oh no... has something happened to him? Where is he?]

Excuse me, have you seen a-

Re: [action] 2/2

[gunsnpudding]

[...wait a second. This little urchin looks an awful lot like Mr. Priest.

Don't mind the tall lady hunkering down to get a really good look at you young man.]

Re: [action]

[notpunishingyet]

[fsdfjfghjh leaning back]

H-have I seen what?

[HOLY FUCK YOU ARE TALL.]

Re: [action]

[gunsnpudding]

[When you spend an awful lot of time looking soppily into someone's eyes when his face is next to yours on a pillow, you get awfully well acquainted with them.

Which is why, exactly 4.2 seconds after little Wolfwood asks her that question, Milly twigs and topples over.]
