[ Top of the morning, Luceti. If you happen to be out and about, you may just find a tiny and unseasonably dressed child out and about with you, clutching at his journal like a freaking lifeline. His expression is likely one of the utmost confused horror, so chances are you've spotted the little longnose hiding out behind various trees

[Sanji doesn't blink twice at the sight of a long... nose poking out from behind Seventh Heaven in the morning. Not at first. At least not until he's practically in the door, and his "returned crewmate" senses start kicking in]

Usopp?! [Only one nose is that shape in Luceti. That it's significantly shorter and lower to the ground is not important information, alright?]

Is that you? [He's gonna approach anyway]

[sorry, the clause includes everyone but Sanji 8Dd]

[chibinose]

[ Those- those are footsteps coming toward him, aren't they? He's not sure his heart can take this. He's also not entirely sure what that saying means yet.

Running sounds more and more like the best idea, but this guy knows his name so maybe he already knows him and is too scared to remember...? gah. Chibi is very suspiciously sticking his head around the side of the building to check. Please, do not be a monster. ]

[MUWAHA]

[oda_hates_me]

[... Whelp.

It's Usopp.

Sanji congratulates himself on being right, and after the startled oh shit moment he keeps off his face, takes another few steps as though he has every right to]

Oi, aren't you cold? [he jerks his head towards the restaurant Usopp's hiding behind] Let's at least get inside.

[/TAGS WHILE YOU NAP FOR REVENGE]

[chibinose]

[ Usopp ducks back behind the corner a little bit, but he's not running. Lack of yelling helps 8|. This is really confusing and he's cold and can't remember how he got here and there are wings on his back and- and he really doesn't know anybody at all. He can't remember ever being somewhere that was full of people he didn't know.

That little bit of wibbling must be completely imaginary. Brave warriors do not have baw-faces, after all. They just. Ask questions. Obviously. ]

Wh-who are you?

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

[Presea was making her way through the village towards the forest, to try and find some fallen trees to bring home. She needed the wood to make a pen for the new pet she and Kratos just recently acquired. When she hears the little sneak, she blinks.

Here, Usopp, have an equally small, young pigtailed girl heading your way. Oh, and, uh...ignore the ginormous axe strapped to her back.]

A child?

[Action]

[chibinose]

[ Surely. That he's taking a few steps back must be coincidence :|b ]

N-no. [ HE'S A- he doesn't know what, but he's totally not a child ;A; ]

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

[Surely that must be it. << Yes. Presea stops once she notes just how small and frightened the child was. She's not quite knowledgeable that he's really scared of her axe, but she doesn't do anything threatening with it, and her posture is relaxed.]

Oh...of course not. I must be mistaken. [A small, barely-there smile graces her face for a moment.] Are you lost?

[Action]

[chibinose]

[ Well, there are points for that much. ]

Not really.

...j-just kind of. But I won't be once I find the road that goes home!

[Action]

[history_pirate]

[Well, if he wasn't freaked out enough before, he soon will be. Because Robin is incredibly quiet when she wants to be. And suddenly there, behind him, ridiculously tall and dark, with a grin on her face.]

Have you lost your way, little Longnose?

[Action]

[sniperkingftw]

[ There are no words to describe the shriek he just unleashed upon the world. Usopp will be doing his best impression of the Flash and hoping to take shelter in the closest tree. ]

[Action]

[eternallysinned]

[Argh I can't RESIST anymore! Hakkai is great with children.]

Oh? [He must have been cold too. The youkai carefully approached.] Isn't it cold?

[Action]

[sniperkingftw]

[ Hakkaiiiiii.

Usopp didn't take off for the nearest proverbial exit, but his grip on the journal definitely got tighter. ]

I-it's not...supposed to be.

[Action]

[eternallysinned]

[Uuuusoooopp!

Well he didn't try to re-hide in his hiding spot or take off. That's a good thing.]

The season's changing... [There were two layers. He had one to spare. It was stripped and forfeited to Usopp.] It's a little big, but it will cover you.

[Action] 1/2

[chibinose]

[ He took it and tilted his head up at Hakkai for a few good seconds before putting it on; he was kind of waiting for a catch to the whole thing, like getting charged, or maybe something turning into a monster and eating him because you're not supposed to talk to strangers. ]

[action] /beats up timelines

[poppetry]

[ OH MY GOD.

That is totally a tiny Usopp.

Xion's first reaction when she spots him from afar is to stare in total shock. That's definitely him, right? Look at his nose!

Usopp, a bench is a terrible hiding place.

Okay, can't scare him... Xion takes a deep breath, then makes her way over, peering and headtilting at what she can see of him behind the bench. ]

Hey, is someone there?

[action] they deserve it.

[chibinose]

...

...

No.

[action]

[poppetry]

[ ... baw. ;; Xion can't help but smile as she comes around the side of the bench where Usopp is hiding. She makes herself as unthreatening as possible, crouching down to get more at his level. ]

Hey, it's okay. No one's going to hurt you.

[action]

[sniperkingftw]

[ HOW DO PEOPLE KEEP SEEING HIM. D:

Don't mind him being a tad suspicious, even if the especially non-threatening approach lends a hand here. Y-you just never know with creepy wing-villages. ]

P-promise. [ Youc an see how he becomes so manly later in life. ]
