29th Confession [Voice/Action - Backdated to the 7th (Friday)]

[notabluesbro]

[Upon waking up, Wolfwood figures two things: one, that he was taken by the droids for a short period of time, and two, that checking his journal would be the wisest choice. So he proceeds to flip through the journals and low and behold, he finds exactly what he considered a possibility. With great anguish, he facepalms.]

Raaaah, not again!

[So it goes. He manages enough priestly swagger to get to the kitchen (why did all of his kidnappings end in something akin to a hangover?), makes something to eat, eats it, and then crawls right back into bed for the next three hours. And then he smokes himself a cigarette—maybe two—and goes out in the usual outfit, sans the jacket. It felt good without one. But before that:]

[Voice]

Apologies to anyone I annoyed while I was miniature. It wasn't my intention when I got taken this time, I swear it; these things just seem to really love happening to me. I think I've got everything in memory now—something about... uhhh, a weird shift turning everything upside down? I distinctly remember an annoying, perverted frog hopping around trying to kiss ladies.

I wonder how many people around here've been turned to kids. A raise of hands?



[Of course, he's also heard a while back that some people had left... And knowing that now, in his adult form, it's like re-living the sinking feeling. Still, he's glad. He'll push aside his own selfishness and be glad for them... even if it sucks to give in and make yourself glaze over all the memories they were involved in.



Ginko, you were the first person he physically met here. You gave him a smoke, and showed him the way back. He never got to repay that, huh? Hughes... You were a pretty good father. Even if you were a complete troll sometimes. Smellerbee, you were a damn good kid; had guts and helped him out when he was in a jam. Derek? You were a weird sort of calm around here, like Ginko was. Wolfwood appreciated that. Sanji.... you're a jerk, for running off like that.

He grins, though, because his sort-of-brother made off to the ocean. And that was good. Even if he'd miss your annoyed looks, it was where you should've been all this time.

Good on ya', guys. You got out. When he's sitting at the Good Spirits, he'll make sure to drink one for each of you guys. Even if one of you might be too young for alcohol. Regardless, it's the only way he can really send you off without saying anything to someone. And Lord knows he's not one to voice any of his unimportant thoughts or emotions.]

((OOC: Replies in the morn'! You can find him walk to or at the bar, or at the Trigun house. Sorry for the lateness of this; I lost track of it after my internet was being crazy awful two days back. :|;;))

I'm one at the moment. [And doesn't bitty!Link look thrilled about it.] It's really dumb - I have to stand on a chair to reach shelves!

[A pause, because he mentioned memories.] Although I remember everything normally. [He thinks.]

Re: [Voice]

[notabluesbro]

... You remember everything normally? [Whoa, wait. That's kind of...] Has that happened before here?

[Voice]

[72hoursremain]

Uh huh - I don't really know why. It might be because - [He pauses thoughtfully.] ...Because of something from where I'm from. Some of my housemates have got turned into kids before and they didn't remember anything about here.

Re: [Voice]

[notabluesbro]

I see. Still, that's a pretty crazy change, keeping your memories like that.

[Grin.]

Doing okay? Besides not being able to reach shelves.

[Bar, you say? Care to say hello to your cupcake lady, Wolfwood? She's at the bar. :|a And...eyeing you and wondering whether she should sidle over and say hi.]

[notabluesbro]

[Who me? I'm too busy being lost in thought for a little while, here. I make for awful conversations when I don't realize one's possible. It's an unfortunate trait of the mulling, thoughtful Wolfwood.

He sighs, and then:]

And what brings you to this bar? Besides the usual?

[Oh, nevermind, he noticed you. |D]

Hi, my name's Slow

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Imagine that. |D Welp, sidlign on over and saying hi sounds like a good idea, then.]

There's never anything but the usual. [Holdin' out her glass for a toast.] Congratulations on growing up again?

WHAT NO YOU'RE FIIIINE |D

[notabluesbro]

[... aha. He taps his drink to hers, nodding.] It's too bad; now my powers of having pretty ladies prepare sandwiches for me are gone.

[Milly's been out running a few errands; she figured she'd leave little Wolfwood sleeping for a while- he hadn't slept well- and then wake him up when she gets back. After putting the groceries away, she heads upstairs to go and wake the little boy up, then pauses as she gets to the door of the bedroom when a familiar scent of cigarette smoke hits her.



... that little boy had better not be smoking or he will be in serious trouble!

She busts through the door and is about to scold him, gently, when she sees that he is a much, much bigger Mr. Priest and she immediately stops mentally composing her diatribe in favour of jumping onto the bed with a squeal of delight.]

You're big again!

Re: [action]

[notabluesbro]

[And he bounces with her own jump, obviously expecting nothing less as he stares with an amused expression.] you're glad, huh? For a minute there you looked like you were really going to let me have it.

Re: [action]

[stungunning]

I thought I was going to catch a little boy smoking, not a fully grown man who's old enough to know better but still does it anyway.

Re: [action]

[stungunning]

[Oh hello, please accept this humble greeting of a heartfelt Milly Snuggle TM]

I missed you.

Re: [action]

[notabluesbro]

[Oh, he can do snuggles. And light kisses, even. :^|b]

Well geez, I wasn't gone too long. Technically, not at all.

[He grins into her hair, teasing.]

They sure like to turn me into a little annoying squirt around here.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash had gone out to look for Meryl again so he was keeping a CLOSE eye on his journal. Well, looks like Wolfwood is back to normal.]

You know what? Next time you get turned into a kid I'm going to tie you to a tree and leave you there.

Re: [Voice]

[notabluesbro]

[I AM SO SO INNOCENT RIGHT NOW.]

Who, me? I was the sweetest kid ever.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

You were a brat! An annoying brat.

Re: [Voice]

[notabluesbro]

Well, you're an annoying brat now, so it only seems fair.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Che... once as a kid. Never as a frog. Which I guess is a small blessing, all told.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

You, too, huh?

Well, I can safely say I haven't been an animal yet... Knock on wood.

Re: [voice]

[justicereigns]

Likewise. I did get stuck in a bear costume last year, no idea if that counts.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

... Hey, on the bright side, at least it wasn't something worse. Like... a bunny costume?

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I was turned into a kid once. It wasn't so bad.

[In fact, it was fun! But he doesn't have to say that.]

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

No? Mine wasn't that bad, either. I actually had a pretty good time while I was here. Though, I guess some people would prefer to leave things in that past.

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine why! [Well... Sort of. He knew his brother, for example, was incredibly embarrassed by his younger self.] Things are far more enjoyable as a child. You can get away with anything.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Oh, definitely! Not to mention, people make you food! And don't complain when you're slacking off! It's perfect.

[It would have been different if he was forced to relive his childhood on Gunsmoke.. But here? Hell, here was a paradise, in comparison to half the stuff he worked with growing up.]
