28th Confession [Lotsa' Action/Video]
[Wolfwood had been taken Sunday night, but surprisingly, they didn't keep him for long. Monday afternoon spat him right back out onto normal Luceti grounds. And to what? To being miniature again. Four years ago, Nicholas had ventured Luceti, looking unkept and nervous. Now, he's still unkept, but in a way that seemed to just be a lack of caring—clean now, free of dirt, but still carrying the bruises of struggle. Where they were once from running amuck on the streets of Gunsmoke, they were now marks of success or failure during training.
His hair is always a mess, of course. Who needs brushes. :|
But that's the least of his concerns! He's more occupied with his cross. Yes, that big, hulking cross, you know. The one Wolfwood could carry without any difficulty? Well, Nicholas has his, and he's busy with huff-puffing across the forest with it. It's on his back, but he's not the usual straight, dignified 20-something. No, he's hunched and might as well be relabeled The Little Engine That Could.
... time for a break. He sits under the trees near the lake, careful to keep away from it, and runs a hand across the journal. He remembers this place... though he never thought he'd be back. Four years may seem long, but really, it's hardly any time at all, is it? The 12-year-old opens the book up and looks at the set-up, remembering.
This button, right?]
[Video]
This thing's working, right? Is this really Luceti, or am I just having a weird dream? Feels real enough... but... I didn't—I mean... I didn't remember it. Why didn't I remember anything? [He runs a hand through his hair.] I shoulda' remembered something like this... even just a little, I definitely woulda' remembered.
[... Hm.]
Say, anyone knows if there's a kid here with long blonde hair? Blue eyes? Name was Vash. Did he make it back home, or...?
... Guess I should find a way back.
[And so he goes, with some effort at the 250+ lbs on his back! And he's a little lost, because while he remembers Luceti, he doesn't remember it that well to know his way through a dense forest. If anyone'd like to help him out or run into him, that'd be super duper. Otherwise, when he finally does get back to the village, he's hitting up the bakery after walking around to recollect his bearings and memory. One may find him in said bakery with his crazy-ass cross that's still an entire head taller than him, munching on a plate of sweets.
:|;;; it's so tasty okay
And of course, he'll give the strawhat kitchen a visit. He remembers you, Sanji. Very well. You and your shitty kitchen. Hmm... Challange accepted. He'll consider this task training, too. CAN HE GET PAST ANY OF THE OBSTACLES?! CAN THE FRIDGE BE OPENED WITHOUT DOOM AND DISCORD THIS TIME?!?!]

Mr Priest?
[Oh no... has something happened to him? Where is he?]
Excuse me, have you seen a-
Re: [action] 2/2
Don't mind the tall lady hunkering down to get a really good look at you young man.]
Re: [action]
H-have I seen what?
[HOLY FUCK YOU ARE TALL.]
Re: [action]
Which is why, exactly 4.2 seconds after little Wolfwood asks her that question, Milly twigs and topples over.]
Re: [action]
ERGH DROPPING CROSS TO CHECK ON HER D:]
H-hey!! Hey, are you alright, lady?!
Re: [action]
I'm alright. I'm alright I promise.
[Gets up.]
[Yup. Still staring.]
Re: [action]
This lady is mental.]
Then... What? Do I got something on my face or something?
Re: [action]
No... no your face is fine.
What's your name sweetheart?
[The endearment slips out automatically.]
Re: [action]
But for now. Just a name.]
I'm Nicholas.
[... she seems like a nice lady, even if she is possibly crazy.]
Re: [action]
Of all the things that the Malnosso have done to him, this really, really takes the cake.
But now is not the time to be balking! Little Mr. Priest needs her!]
Nicholas... do you have somewhere to stay tonight? Because you can come home with me if you want to; we can get you a nice comfy bed and cook you something good to eat. Sweets are very delicious but a growing boy like you needs something nice and substantial in your tummy, don't you think?
Re: [action]
Sorta-kinda.]
... That—that doesn't sound too bad.
I mean, if you have a room, I wouldn't mind... borrowing it.
[But she's also a stranger, Nick. Don't forget.]
But am I really supposed to follow strangers to their houses? There's some rule about that, huh?
Re: [action]
[Looks thoughtful for a moment then:]
Re: [action]
How do you do? My name's Milly Thompson and it's very nice to meet you.
Now I'm not a stranger anymore, do you think that'll be okay?
Re: [action]
I--
I guess that'd be okay.
Re: [action]
Why don't you let me help you with that big ol' Cross Punisher and we'll head on home together?
Re: [action]
I don't need any help. I can carry it all just fine.
Re: [action]
Well alright then. Shall I lead the way?
