32nd Confession [Voice/Action]
[Two days after he's tried to murder his best friend, Wolfwood finally feels the after-effects of the drugs in his system fading out. He's been beyond lucid the last 24 hours, but god did he feel the headache of it all after the fact. More importantly, he's been lying around in his bed thinking. Always thinking, this one. First thinking that shit, man, that was close, and then thinking holy shit Milly is pregnant. She's been pretty much attached to his hip since he started coming down from what was in his system, and they've had plenty of hours to talk about everything while he's settled under blankets with her. And of course, he's full of concern and doubt about himself and a lot of things.
It's not that he isn't happy. It's just all a big gray unknown spot in his future and hers that he worries about frequently. And now he worries for... their kid. Their kid. It's like he's in the twilight zone. He doesn't even know how to start. But he's by no means unhappy.
Whatever happens... it happens, he tells himself. That's all there is to it.
Well... first things first. He hasn't seen Vash since their unfortunate encounter on the 29th. So he pulls on his white button-up, skips a shave, and seeks him out. Of course, he feels gross from sleeping too much, but whatever. Moving's the only cure for that shit.]
[Filtered to Anyone Involved with Feb. 29th's Events // 30% Hackable]
Hey... Thanks for the help. Back there. I'm sorry I was so out of it, but you know how it is around here... Full of shitty surprises. I'll have to make it up to you guys sometime.
... [A sorta' half-hearted smile. He's too overwhelmed for complete snark.] Well, maybe not to Sanji. He clearly owed me for bumming my cigarettes.
[Once he finds Vash, he's off for an easy walk to get his blood pumping; he needs more cigarettes, after all. So there's the store to go to, and then he heads to the item shop and smithy to see if he can replace lost ammunition. Yeah, he comes out with a box under each arm. Gotta' keep on top, even if he almost shot people to death the other day. :|
... And yes. Of course you can find him at the bar. Duh. He really really wants a glass of sturdier stuff. But before that, hehobbles goes back to the forest and starts collecting any shells he can find; sue him, he feels bad for wrecking some of the place. It's a workout for sure, but it also gives him something to do while he straightens out his own mind. At the end of the day he's going back home to crash in a warm bed with his gal. This week has sapped the life outta' him, man]

[He was seeing... a lot of other hideous things. BT]
[Filtered]
Still. I'm glad you're okay.

["Easily", she says.]
I'll leave you to it.
[...though she'll be in the bar that night. |D Mwahaha.]
[Action]
Don't mind me. Just chillin' over here, looking somber, staring at my drink. The usual thing. What, can't a guy have a moment of deep troubled thought over something bad that's happened? Well, that and he's thinking about a baby that's on the way.
This is a lot to think about. :|]
[Action]
Don't mind Nami, just shifting from her own table when she spots him to settle into a seat across from Wolfwood, Going Merry in hand. She gives a crooked grin at the apparent object of his contemplation.]
I think you're meant to drink that.
[Action]
[He looks over before he returns his gaze back to the glass, taking a small drink.]
It looked so nice, didn't wanna ruin it.
[He raises an eyebrow at her.]
How is it you manage to catch me here like this so much? I think you've got a sixth sense or something.
[Action]
[Action]
[a half-hearted grin, but he can't help but snark, okay?]
Does that make you a brooding man, too?
[Action]
[Sip. 8Da]
[Action]
What brings you here tonight, then, if anything? Or should I not ask?
[Action]
The usual. Drinking ia a fun pasttime in this town.
[Action]
Any town, you mean.
Sadly.
[Action]
[She grins, throwing her drink back. And is quiet for a few seconds.]
...how's Vash?
[Action]
I guess it's just a good thing I was so out of it.
[Action]
[Action]
... I'm just glad I didn't wander into town. When I was under that effect--everyone looked... [He pauses, clearly visualizing something that wasn't pleasant.] Well, I would've shot 'em.
[Action]
But you didn't. That's the important thing.
[That being said, she sounds faintly frustrated. Because she's thinking about your idiot best friend, again.]
[Action]
[He glances at her, thoughtful.]
So, what's bothering you?
[He saw the post Vash made afterward; Nami, EVERYONE thinks about what an idiot he is. But you seem a little more annoyed than he is. |D]
[Action]
Nami puts her drink down.]
Way before you got here, Yuber killed Vash. Vash had plenty of time to call for help, but he didn't even try. The journals caught everything anyway.
It was pretty upsetting. [As you'd imagine.] And Vash agreed that maybe he could've tried, but... here we are again.
[Action] 1/2
[Action]
... Not that he won't have Words for Mr. Stampede.]
Sounds like him. Always getting himself into trouble and trying to leave everyone else out of it.
[Action]
I guess there comes a time when I'm just so sick of watching him be an idiot.
[Action]
... To be honest... I'm not sure that I would tell anyone either, if I had the same life he did.
All he's ever known is people dropping like flies around 'im.
