[Action]

[skulljokelol]

[ After rescuing a small girl that is far too curious for her own good, Brook is trying to make his way home from the tunnels as quickly as possible.

Trying would be the keyword here, however. That's easier said than done, especially the closer he gets to town. Seems that every five minutes there's a familiar face from his old crew excitedly trying

[If Brook heads by the river near the barracks, he'll come across Katara practicing.]

[skulljokelol]

[Brook's pretty much all over town today. He's been trying to head for home, but he keeps ending up... elsewhere.

He doesn't greet her right away, a bit distracted by the extra echoes of her waterbending, and his own Laboon echo who's finally leaving him be for now to splash in the river.]

[markofthebrave]

[It takes a little more than just someone watching to stir her immediate concentration, but after a moment she glances over shoulder.]

Hey Brook!

[skulljokelol]

[He jumps, startled, but his attention is fully on her for the moment.]

Ah, Katara-san! Hello there! [Is it weird that he can hear his heart hammering when he doesn't have one? He almost laughs thinking of that, but he bites it back.] ...Ah. How are you?

[sniperkingftw]

[ By the time he makes it back to the god only knows how crowded house, Usopp will likely have taken his leave of the item shop for the day. He's even moved on from the toaster to a blender 8Db ]

[skulljokelol]

[Home was supposed to be safe, dammit! A-And it is. Sort of.

Yeah, there's a skeleton diving under that kitchen table you're working at. Sorry if he jolted it or anything.]

[ AD;LFJDSKLDKLFJ;. Also known as "be right back, screeching." ]

[sniperkingftw]

[ Wait. Wait. It's not a wild animal, a furby or some other kind of monster. It's just a living skeleton. ]

B-Brook! What the hell do you think you're doing, you almost gave me a heart attack-!

[goldenglasses]

[Well during your wandering - Vash will be derping about as usual.] Hey there Brook, better weather today isn't it?

[skulljokelol]

[Okay, just try to act normal. He can totally do this.]

Ah, yes, much better weather! Vash-san. Hello! [He tilts his head a little - is that music?]

[goldenglasses]

[Oh yes, that's music you hear, with the sent of flowers to go with it.] What are you up to today?

[skulljokelol]

Not much for today, I'm afraid. I'm just walking about now, I suppose... That sounds familiar. Where have I heard that before?

[likeafirework]

[He's a little bruised. Sore. The fight with Xion wasn't the worst fight he'd gotten into since coming here (but then, he's only been in two) but he would have stayed home if it weren't for the fact that they needed food.

And there's a familiar face. Too close not to lift a hand in greeting -- otherwise ignoring is always a go. So he does. Hi Brook.]

[skulljokelol]

[He is getting so tired of screams with no one in sight. On the other hand, he's starting to get used to it too.

Brook would have just walked on by, but he recognizes Hitsugaya as he passes him and notices the bruises.] ...Hitsugaya-san?

[likeafirework]

[Yeah, well. Those bruises are because Xion tried to kill him with a wave of energy he couldn't quite block. He's fine, though. Just hungry.

And what? No hello? That doesn't seem very much like Brook. It's just a few bruises.]

Yeah?

[skulljokelol]

[It's not, but he's too frazzled to care much at this point.]

Were you in a fight- [Oh. He remembers now. He wasn't there himself, but Sanji fought Xion too, and he knows other people helped. Well. Hitsugaya looks fine by comparison.] Ah. Nevermind, I believe I just answered my own question.

[Zoro is sprawled out napping on the couch when you get home-a completely usual and unremarkable occurrence. The dark-haired girl sitting on the back of the couch with her feet planted nonchalantly on his stomach, Wadou Ichimonji cradled on her lap, is...really, really not.

Her brown eyes are soft on Zoro's obliviously snoring face, and she doesn't look up when you enter.]

But fashionably so! <3

[skulljokelol]

[Brook breathes a little easier when he comes through the door. Home he thinks he can handle - orrr so he thought. Do they have company over today?

Well... he can do this, he thinks. Maybe she's just staying for dinner. He keeps his voice low, so as not to wake up Zoro.]

Hello there, miss. I don't believe that we've met before, have we?

XD

[threeswordsoul]

[Kuina looks up, somewhat startled, then glances around with something of a 'he's not talking to me, right?' expression.

But nope, no one else around, save for the boy under her feet...Hm. Her hands tighten on Wadou's sheath, but she smiles cautiously.]

[...You haven't met me, no.] [But I've met you.]

[skulljokelol]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance then! [What can he say? Even half out of his mind, he likes kids.] Might I bother you for your name?
