19th Confession [Action/Voice]

[Aaaall right, so it's been pretty eventful lately. With Amelia and Milly popping up, like most people, out of nowhere, Wolfwood's busied himself with being shell-shocked at the latter and humored at the former (it really is all true, Amelia, promise). With Knives and Legato still MIA (perhaps they'd left entirely? but he's not one to hope on that), not to mention, he's found himself just a little more relaxed than usual. And hey, the injury on his arm is just about healed up, to boot. Nothing much but a few stitches that were about ready to be removed. Of course he knew it was only a matter of time before something crazy happens again buuut... he'll take it one step at a time.

Firstly, he stops by the weapons shop to see if any ammo came in for his guns, because you can never have enough lengths of bullets for your machine-gun-cross. He also goes off to the forest to practice his fire in the forest, because he honestly hadn't done so in quite a while and heard the damn fire spirit's nagging voice every time he passed by the usual spot.]

Insult me all you want, it isn't going to get this fire any taller. Hell, I'll probably just make it smaller to bug you.

[And suddenly, a coat sleeve on fire. Whoop.]

Geez, geez, it was a joke! [patting it out, and then a beat] Fiery little bastard.

[He's been focused on just this one element for a while now, and the progress is felt in the explosion of fire he's able to make. When he was a kid, it was just a little fire at the end of a stick, but now--he's at least able to create fire as tall as he is.

And after that he'll go ahead and stop by the bar for a drink--even at Sanji's bar, maybe, despite the fact that curlybrow was going to give him A Look over the recent developments. It's overcast with murky clouds, but that hardly puts a damper on anything; Wolfwood rather likes the cool, muted look, himself. He also sights a little something at the item shop while he's out.]

[Voice]

So, Luceti. I've told a ton of people about my crappy little desert planet, but I'm curious--what's the landscape of your worlds like? The weather? Anything that you miss from it, or anything that you're glad you're not dealing with? It's been biting at me lately to ask.

By the way, welcome, new people. The name's Wolfwood, and I hope you have a fairly uneventful stay here--though, 'hope' is a very key word. But if there's anything you guys need, there's plenty of help around, myself included.

[after a beat--]

[Filtered to Milly]

Heeey, I think I found something of yours at the item shop.

[a big, violent gun-related thing. :|a]

I was pretty surprised, seeing rain for the first time. But you're gonna find Luceti's full of crazy surprises.

[Aha, and slow down, Milly, he can't keep up! 3:^)]

What kind've people have you ran into so far?

Hmm...

[She ponders for a little bit.]

Well... I met a really lovely little girl the other day and we talked about pie, and then there's all the nice people who helped me when I arrived. They've all been very friendly and helpful.

[He's glad to hear that. And with Legato and Knives not around right now, he's even more relaxed on this walk. Even if he is carrying his cross, same ol' same ol'.]

Pretty crazy to see flowing water around here, huh?

[Because this must be brought up—we're gonna have to have a session, the lot of us, and learn how to swim. For real.]

Isn't it? And there's so much of it too, and no-one's fighting for it or even asking people to pay money, I think it's wonderful.

[You're just saying that because you want to see me in a swimsuit.]

[Oh and you're still carrying my stungun.]

You know, you should let me carry that, you've got a heavy enough burden to bear carrying all that mercy around.

[Here, have a wink.]

[Whoop, you're right! He flips that around in hand and offers it back with one arm. Because we unusually strong tall people gotta' stick together, amirite.]

Yeah, it's pretty great. But there is one little problem.

We desert people kind of have a problem swimming in it, don't we? So we'll all need to learn how when it's warm enough. Whaddya' think?

[Shoulders her stungun with a cheerful 'oof!' and then takes that arm you held it out with to link her own through.]

Swimming? Are you sure? That sounds awfully dangerous...

Exactly! Very dangerous!

That's why we have to learn it. It wouldn't be good, if you somehow were stuck in a situation where you had to know how to swim, right?

No it wouldn't, and it wouldn't be very good if you were either.

Who's going to teach us?

Well, we could either learn from whoever wants to teach us, or we could try to learn all by ourselves. What do you think?

...I think we probably need a teacher. I know that I'd sink right to the bottom like a great big pebble.

Hey! I wouldn't let you sink like a pebble, trust me. I'd gotten a little practice before the winter set in, anyway.

Though, I guess it wouldn't be too much to ask if the Strawhats would like to come help us...

I know you wouldn't. You'd jump right in after me and then we'd both get stuck and need rescuing, but at least then I'd be sinking in good company.

[She nudges him a bit with her shoulder and laughs]

Why do we need straw hats?

[He just loves your cruel sense of humor, Milly. |D]

No, no, they're a little group of pirates called the Strawhats. You spoke with two of them already—Luffy and Sanji. Some of 'em can't swim, but the ones who can probably wouldn't mind teaching us how swimming works.

Pirates? Really?

[She blinks.]

I remember talking to Mr Sanji-chan but I don't think I talked to anybody called Luffy...

Oh, he was the kid who said 'It's a mysteryyyyy'. That kid!

[That goofy as hell kid.]

There's quite a few pirates around here--and surprisingly, they're not all bad. Not like the bandits who cause trouble at home.

Oh, was that his name? I thought he really was a magic book.

[Rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.]

Eh-heh, silly me...

[He chuckles.]

He's magical all right. He can stretch his arm all the way across Luceti if he wanted to, I'll bet.

[Blink blink.]

How does a person do that? It's such a big place!

[Looks at him strangely.]

Are you trying to trick me?

No, I swear it! He ate something that makes him stretchy enough to kick his foot across the damn village.

Goodness, I suppose he really must be magical then. What sort of food makes a person really, really stretchy?

Something called a Devil's Fruit, I guess. There are different kinds to eat, and when you do, you get a certain power... something like that.

Why would anyone want to eat something called a Devil Fruit? That doesn't sound like it would be safe to eat at all!

Tell me about it! Devil's never been associated with anything good, as far as I know!

... Besides Devil's Food Cake.

[Huh.]

[Well that's strange...]

Are you allowed to like Devil's Food Cake, Mr. Priest? Aren't you only supposed to eat Angel Food Cake?

[dfsdflkjl, ahahaha you are killing him internally with the dorkiness of that reply.]

Oh, no, I'm not allowed to eat it at all! Only Angel's Food—it'd get in the way of the Lord's word!!

[So official-like. I'm such a good priest.]
