[If someone's looking to hear more than just a voice, they can catch the sounds of a piece of paper being worried over. Folded, unfolded, half-crumpled and smoothed, repeated like clockwork. And maybe, just maybe, the occasional quiet curse. It continues for a minute. When Usopp finally speaks, he sounds conflicted and strained.]These letters. A

We're not going. It's a hoax, Usopp.

[And if you're in the apartment, she's coming to find you.]

[sniperkingftw]

Yeah, okay.

[Shouldn't be so hard, he's in Luffy's room. Where he'd been staring in marvel at the previously destroyed wall until said letter came into being in his pocket.]

[mikangirl]

[...oh hello, this is Nami's first encounter with the self-healing walls around here. Though maybe later she can thank the nice Malnosso for dealing with the idiot captain's damage and saving her from committing homicide.]

...did you fix that?

[sniperkingftw]

[As if he COULD. Nice of her to ask, at least. He's been wondering when exactly it happened and how he'd missed it. If Franky were here then at least he could have seen how it was DONE.]

No. Luffy was right, they fix themselves.

[gomugomunopwn]

What letters...?

[Voice]

[sniperkingftw]

They've been showing up out of nowhere; I don't know if everyone's going to get one or if they're completely random, but-

[Hesitance, you are a friend indeed.]

Maybe it's better if you just see for yourself. Nami says we should talk to you about it anyway.

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Really? Okay, meet you at the house then! [walking home now]

[skulljokelol]

[Brook had gone to sit outside the building earlier for some fresh air and to play his violin, which you may be able to hear. The journal is open at his side - he likes being able to see what's happening with the people in Luceti, and he's been hearing a lot of talk about these letters. He found his own under his hat a few minutes ago]

So you received one as well, Usopp-san? It seems everyone is. I must admit, I'm not sure what to think about them.

[sniperkingftw]

Nami says it's a trick. Luffy doesn't trust them.

[What better explanation is there?]

[skulljokelol]

Oh? [Pause - you may be able to catch a few notes of Bink's Sake] Well I would think that they would know best about this, ne?

[Really, it's the only explanation needed. He's not going anywhere without the rest of his nakama, and he thinks he knows them all well enough to assume they're of the same mindset] Though I wouldn't have minded to return home, if they had thought otherwise.

[sniperkingftw]

I wouldn't have, either. But they do know more about this place.

[Hesitating now.] Hey Brook.

[Voice]

[tanukipoint]

[Chopper's been here for all of four days. He knows practically zero about this world he's been dropped off in - which is why, when his letter had slipped out from between the pages of one of his medical books, he wasn't able to approach it with his usual level of gullibility.]

So you...think it's a lie, then? [if anyone knows anything about lies it's gonna be you pal]

[Voice]

[sniperkingftw]

[ain't that the truth.]

Yeah, Chopper. It's a lie.

[tanukipoint]

[Gah, he sounds so sure. Chopper kinda had a feeling that it was too good to be true, but he couldn't help but hope it was the real deal.]

Is that...what Luffy thinks, too? [According to Usopp, their captain's been here a YEAR. If anyone should be desperate to get out of here, it'd be Luffy.]

[sniperkingftw]

[FFFF sad Chopper is sad. Understandably so, he'd been hoping so too.]

It is. Nami, too.

And I'd trust them over these letters any day. You know?
