8th Confession [Voice/Action]
[Morning ritual: sit up groggily, smoke a cigarette, kick stupid cat back out of bed after the umpteenth time. Fortunately, he'd managed to not want to pop Vash's head off his shoulders today, so he takes this as a good sign. And after he manages to regain his thoughts and get some breakfast in him, he cracks open his journal to see what's what.]
[[Filtered from Legato//100% Unhackable by Namisee Vash he said he was working on it |D ]]
So there's a shitload of new people... Hard to think I've been here this long, but you veterans probably snicker at a few measly months, right? [The sound of smoke leaving him, and it's obvious now he's been at the same usual bad habit.] Good to see these new guys got to miss the crappier part of this place, at least.
[And a charmingly added:]
It's not so bad when you get used to it, promise.
[Wolfwood really didn't find too much eventful this fine morning—it was a little chilly out, so he coiled himself in a black scarf, but... it was strangely relaxed today. It's something he feels ill-prepared for, even. Along his route of wandering, the preacher-man happened into the item shop on an interesting day; he'd spent so much time referring to the dangers of his world, he didn't consider that the neutral or even... nice things would snake their way into Luceti.
As such, he found a small weathered chest the that he could carry under one arm—a familiar one.
He drags it out, sits on a bench, and inspects it... and the first thing he happens across is a picture. He's not sure whether to burn it or laugh, so he just looks at it for a moment, noting the withered edges and shitty weathering. What a blast from the past. Like looking into the face of time.
He can be found here by whoever wants to be a creeper, or on his way back home with his cross on one shoulder and this small chest on the other. Clearly, he works out. But alas! Something slips out of the back of the chest without him noticing and floats quietly down to the ground.]

[Voice]
[He grins briefly at that] You'll find water's a lot more forgiving than quicksand. [On that note....]
Oi, have you tried swimming yet? [Because Sanji would love to laugh his ass of-- um, help.]
Re: [Voice]
[>.>;;]
But it's too cold to keep trying, right now. Unless I wanna drown in five different flus.
[Help. Right. B|]
[Voice]
How did you like it? [You loved it, right? 8D]
Re: [Voice]
[Voice]
Re: [Voice]
Really? I wasn't aware swimming was such a life-and-death activity.
[Voice]
Depends on where you're swimming. [But there's no sea in Luceti] You'll get it eventually. Once you start floating, everything else comes easy.
[He... may be oversimplifying it. >>]
Re: [Voice]
...It failed miserably.
[Oversimplified indeed.]
But I haven't given up just yet—you can laugh at me when I'm flailing in the Spring.
[Voice]
Re: [Voice]
[(*V*)b]
But apparently he knows how to swim, just a little. Enough to not get himself killed—Meryl probably needs to learn, too...
[Voice]
And I think I remember Meryl-chan trying one time. Not sure how she took to it.
Re: [Voice]
[He snickers, tapping his cigarette off into an ashtray.]
Well, she's gonna have to hate it and try anyway, like me. The last thing we need is a weakness we can fix. In a place like this, I've already seen it pays to have all your defenses honed.
Swimming included.
...Definitely included.
[Voice]
Heh, why do you think I bothered with the filial spirits? Wasn't for the shitty company.
... Have you gave trying magic any thought?
Re: [Voice]
[Voice]
I need to ask him how Tsinku's been treating him...
Re: [Voice]
Tsinku?
[Voice]
The lightning one.
Re: [Voice]
I guess his hair's pretty suited to it. How tough is it, getting to that spirit?
[Voice]
Two months, maybe three to master everything.
And that's if he agrees to teach you.
Re: [Voice]
[Voice]
Had to bribe the shithead into teaching Ginko.
Re: [Voice]
Fire seems like it'd be pretty handy, though. How the hell'd you bribe something like that, anyway?
[Voice]
It helps that he and I have an understanding... And sometimes you gotta bribe hard. [And to prove his point, the chef rolls up the sleeve of his right arm, presenting it to the journal.
There's a lovely burn on the forearm - healed over, but still faintly visible now that he's pointed it out]
Re: [Voice]
The rough kind of bastard, is he? Lucky me, I've dealt with plenty of those types. Maybe I'll give it a shot; worst that can happen is me getting burned to a crisp, right?
Though I could always start out with the least feisty ones, but I don't like stretching out time for too long, with what goes on around here.
[Voice]
Prove you're worth his time and he'll teach you a nice set of tricks.
