12th Confession [Action]

[Time for personal confetti because

~Wolfwood's back~


...Sort of.

Rather, he's smaller. Shorter. Even more scruffy and disorganized than before.

He'd woken up in a forest and spent a good 3 hours raking his mind over just what he was seeing—snow, actual snow. Of course, none of that was important for the meanwhile when he realized he was cold. Holy shit, was it freezing out here. At least whoever left him here gave him some clothes and... a gun in a holster?

Slipping on the way-too-big black jacket, he examines the handgun. Of course, Wolfwood always carried it on him, but... he's eight at the moment, so this information is just going over his head. It's not as though he's never used one, of course. He just never had such a nice holster to go with it!

But what doesn't go over his head is the fact that he has wings. Wings! What the hell is going on here? Where is he? Surely he's not... well, y'know.

He rushes around the dense for a for hours, stumbling and tripping in the groggy morning light, until he finds... ah, there are rooms in this building that aren't used? Maybe if he's sneaky, he can just stay in one of these here. Once that's done with, he wanders around town for a few hours with a stolen jacket sloppy thrown over his old collared shirt. Looking paranoid as he stalks through crowds. All right, Nick. You're in a strange place, but you cannot forget the number one rule: just survive.

Too many people around to steal from the stores. Stomach rumbling. Wait until night, then find a window, a door even, to sneak into.

When cold, black night eventually hits, he lassos the holster around his waist (hey, no more tucking into the side of his pants), under his shirt, and sets out, sneaking into whatever apartment or house he can. Perhaps sorting through your drawers, cabinets, or refrigerators.
Hey, you can't expect him to know about all that free stuff, right? Despite him being as quiet as possible, there may be an occasional falling down of something—a pan, perhaps a glass. In case your character is a heavy sleeper. 8|]

[OOC: You can run into him any part of his day listed above! Replies will be from very very obvious journals~! Time and space is kicked often.

He might draw that gun in any robbery attempt, but he won't shoot at anyone. Unless they're trying to kill him. |Db]

[Considering the Welcome Center is near the shops? It would be an ideal place to wait out in if he needs somewhere to sneak on. Shirayuki herself has dozed off on the table, head tucked on her arms as papers are left scattered on the table, uncharacteristically disorganized.]

[...


Perfect prey.

Sneaking over now!

Hmmm. She looks like she's not poor... so she must have a lot of money to fall back on, right? So if he stole from her, she'd probably just go home to more cash, right? Maybe he could loot her pocket. 'Sides, everyone knows you're not supposed to fall asleep in the open, like that...

But damn, maybe he shouldn't risk that.

Is there anything on this table worth looking at, while you're dozing off?]

[There's a small pocketwatch that Zen lent her, sitting just a few centimeters from her fingers. Otherwise, they're mostly papers and a pen, and perhaps an untouched mug of cocoa that she was supposed to drink earlier, though fell asleep. It's cold, but it's still good.]

[Quietly going to try pocketing that watch—

...hrmph, but he stops mid-pick-up at sight of the drink.





...It smells really good...]

[identity profile] notablueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
[With one tanned hand, he grabs the mug, and then puts the watch back with a soft tinging noise; a few steps taken aback, as he sips quietly on the hot cocoa.

The watch can be payment for this, right?]

Wait, who the he---]

[!!!

She quickly scrambles to her feet, cheeks reddening as she realized she fell asleep and--]
Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to--- Can I help you?

[identity profile] notablueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[dfkdfjlkhjl SWIFT MOVEMENTS—

He awkwardly holds the mug behind him, though some of it spilled near his foot in the surprise of it all.]


S'not—No, I don't need no help. I was just here 'cuz I thought you shouldn't sleep in front of people. Y'know.

[identity profile] applehair.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... Well... [She looks sheepish at that for a moment, before she notices the spill behind him. She pauses for a moment, before realizing that it was cocoa.

... Ah. She was starting to understand the situation now.]
Do you want a warmer cup? I can make you a new drink if you want.

[identity profile] notablueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait, what? He took her drink, and she's not mad about that? What kind of weird girl is this? Well—far be it from him to question anything that'll get him a drink of something.]

...If you want. I don't... That sounds good, I guess.

[Maybe fumbling just a bit on words; he typically distrusts anything openly offered to him for many a-reason, so he takes your youthful female qualities at just face value.

You can bet he'd be watching you make that cocoa every second of the process, though. B|]

[identity profile] applehair.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles at that and puts the chair back into it's proper place. It wasn't uncommon for people to kind of sneak in and think they can steal something, but given what this place is for, most of the stuff they steal are for them anyway.] You must be new around here.

[She says, thinking about it. After all, most residents would know better than to just barge in, so that means... New feather? But it's an odd time to be getting one.]

[identity profile] not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.]

I guess so. I woke up outside with all those... trees.

[Trees. He still can't fathom it.]

How's there so much green and stuff? Like trees, and leaves... and all that stuff. Where's all the sand?

[identity profile] applehair.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Sand...? A desert dweller then?] This place has always been like this, as far as I know. It's called Luceti. [Going to go and make your cocoa now. Doodedoo.] This... isn't exactly near your home.

[identity profile] not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay. [He reads that as 'your house isn't around, to which he can safely agree.] Never had a place like that, anyway. So that's okay.

[He eyes her back as she works, unsure.]

...You have wings, too...?

[identity profile] applehair.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
An orphan? [She asks tentatively as she works, in case she was wrong.]

Everyone in this village has one, actually.

[Later on in the afternoon, after all this has been explain to him, and he's gotten some new clothes. There is a very girlie looking boy staring around at everything. There are so many people moving around! This fact has currently blown his little mind that the newest tears over remembering that Rem and Knives aren't here are finally drying on his cheeks.

Although - he starts to stare at you Wolfwood. Probably because you're the only one who's running around looking like someone is about to smack you and you know - HOLY CRAP! A KID! He's only seen other kids besides Knives sleeping! This one is moving! Do they all look so grumpy?]

[identity profile] not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Just a quiet mm at the question, as he considers what she's told him—so everyone had... wings, here?

He couldn't help but solemnly but simply ask:]


Am I dead?

[It was entirely possible, really. Maybe someone drove by and hit him. Or maybe he was caught trying to take something from a trigger-happy guy. Something like that.]

O-oh no! No! Nothing like that. You're most definitely alive.

[GRUMPY KID SAYS WHAT.

Actually, he doesn't say anything yet; just offers Vash an unwelcoming look of 'what are you staring at?', before finally addressing this rude invasion of his limited privacy:]


What you starin' at me for?

[Let's avoid adding anything about you being girly. For now.]

[identity profile] not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
Th'people in church say you get wings when you die.

[AKA you might be a dirty awful liar.

He's not... entirely sure why he's fine with this concept. Maybe it's because the fear of nothing after death seems suspended, if it's really the case that he's kicked the bucket. If there's something after death, then it ain't really death, is it?

Even 8-year-olds can adapt to such a logic.]

[identity profile] applehair.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, I certainly cannot argue that. [But they are not dead. At least, she's certain she isn't. She picks up the cup and hands it to him, deciding it was already done.] The residents in this place acquire wings. It's not really because they died.

you make it so hard to hiatus, damn you

[Someone is in his kitchen.

It doesn't matter how quiet Wolfwood is; the chef's developed a sixth sense for this type of thing (just look who he's gotta work with in the crew). But despite that, he makes no move to relocate and find the culprit. The reason for that is...

Well. Wolfwood, how do you feel about giant, life-sized mouse traps snapping at you the moment you try opening the fridge? 8| Get back to us on that]

8D ahaha

[wait WHAT THEY MAKE THEM THIS BIG THIS IS UNFAIR—

SNAP!!

...Loud cry is a-go. Geez, Sanji, he's already ready to shoot a person without even meeting them... SPOILER ALERT, you probably caught a scruffy-haired, dirty rat by the arm ;A;]

[identity profile] oda-hates-me.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[HA. CAUG-- wait that doesn't sound like his captain.

On goes the light switch for a better view! And nope, that is definitely not his captain. What brat did he catch instead?]


Oi, who the hell are you? [Rushing in so he can set the boy that looks far too familiar for many reasons free]
