001 [ video ]

[ The video clicks on and reveals a shabby looking guy with the biggest nose you've ever seen and a headful of wild, messy black hair. Also, he appears to be in some kind of weird suit. He doesn't seem to realize the communicator is on right away, pushing at a few of the buttons to make the feed cut on and off and back on again before he figures it out. When he does, there's a grin and a flash of sharp, white teeth. ]

Ahaha, hey there! Looks like I finally got this hunk of junk working. [ He laughs a little, and it sounds... Not hollow, but not entirely heartfelt. ] You don't gotta fill me in on everythin'! Some kid gave me the basic lowdown already, y'know. Hard to believe that stuff they're sayin' about monsters and companies is really true, huh? [ This weird guy laughs again. Seriously, what's up with him? ] Anyway, name's Nicholas D. Wolfwood, priest. Nice to meetcha!

[ And he barely gets that out before there's an audible gurgle from his stomach. He looks a bit surprised but he smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Yep, this was the real reason he posted. ]

Ah, y'see... I was wondering if anyone knew where a guy could get a bite to eat?

[ Is that -- ]

[ It is really -- ]

[ It is. ]

[ ....but he doesn't remember. ]

[ Damn. It could be the same thing all over again. With Wolfwood not recognizing him or remember what happened between them, and --

Geez. ]

[ He can't just not say hello, though, can he? No, of course, not. ]

[ It takes a while, but eventually he takes the plunge. ]

....Welcome back.

[ No, ohgod you're alive, or I've missed you so much, or how can you just ask for food at a time like this -- no, he's way too lame for that. ]

[ A moment's hesitation, not to be attributed with surprise; he's known Livio was here since that girl found him on the baseball diamond, she'd even given written down his number, but he couldn't bring himself to call. How do you talk to someone like that? Tell them you aren't dead?

His smile visibly falters for a moment, rubbing at his temple. ]

[ Its back almost a moment later, his moment of cowardice stuffed away. That comment confirms the question he was too reluctant to ask Maya outright-had he been here before?-but leaves a few more in its wake. Unfortunately, they aren't ones he's keen on asking Livio himself.

For all his existential angst at being alive again against his will, he's glad to see Livio is here, alive, and doing well. That smile of his might appear a little more genuine. ]

You might wanna work on that greeting, Crybaby Livio.

That didn't sound welcoming at all!

[ He knows him. He recognizes him. Even though he seems to have forgotten everything else about the Port, he remembers what happened at home.

...which is a sobering thought, too, but- he's happy to have his brother back.

He laughs a little. ]

I guess it wasn't, really, was it?

[ He smiles, and it is just happy as happy can be. ]

Think I can make it up to you?

[ He doesn't return the laugh but keeps the smile, raising one eyebrow. This reunion is going a lot better than he could've ever imagined.

Yeah, like he was gonna give you a choice in the matter, Livio. ]

I was hopin' you'd offer! Where are ya?

[ It helps when you have months to adjust to loss instead of just a few days (weeks??). ]

Sector Four.

I'll meet you by the Newcomer Apartments.

[ He figures it's a landmark Wolfwood will recognize, at least. ]

Right, meet you there.

[ And with that, he hangs up and makes his way to the apartments.

He waits for Livio, an unlit cigarette hanging from his lips and the Cross Punisher nowhere in sight, just this once. He shifts his weight frequently, impatient and a little anxious to see Livio in the flesh. It hasn't been that long for him-several days at most-but it feels like its been forever. ]

[ For Livio....it's been months. Well over half a year since Wolfwood died, and maybe a few months since he saw him last. Granted, Wolfwood was from an earlier period of time, then -- now, things are...different. He's not quite sure yet whether it's good or bad, but he's eager to see him anyway.

And so he comes, scuffy, bright-eyed, and trying not to look too excited. This is awkward, most definitely, but it's Wolfwood.

He gives him a tentative smile. ]

Hey.

Priest?

What ~sort~ of priest? Siren's Port has quite the assortment.

[ That smile of his looks a little crestfallen, all of a sudden. ]

Ah, assortment? You mean I ain't the only one?

[ ...But he bounces back pretty fast! ]

Well, I can tell you this much: I'm definitely one of a kind.

More information is gonna cost ya, though!

Cost me? In what way?

[ Eyelash bat bat bat; and toothy grin! ]

Hn~!

A recitation of my sins would take up ~far~ too much of your time.

Lunch, of course!

[ That goofy smile of his only seems to get wider. ]

Oh, I dunno about that. As they say in the seminary, time flies when you're saving the souls of the wicked!

[A cracked, deranged voice.]

Howdy, Waffle!

[ Waffle? What is up with this guy, huh?

That isn't even funny! ]

Edited 2012-03-20 15:37 (UTC)

[ He's laying it on pretty thick in his reply, his voice taking on an aggressive tone underneath that sugary sweet BS. ]

Haha, sounds like you might be a little hard of hearing, friend! Name's Wolfwood, not Waffle.

Really?

Really. So who's this?

[.... What is with that fake laughing and overly friendly tone.... (It's creeping her out, coming from him)]

[He sure does eat a lot... (Like she's in any position to comment on someone else's appetite)]

Edited 2012-03-20 15:50 (UTC)

[Uuuughhh she's hungry and she doesn't want to part with her food.... But so is he....]

[SIGH....]

[Finally, she responds to this with her regular amount of perkiness]

You're hungry again? Good thing the awesome Maya is here to save the day!

[ Ah, that girl again! ]

[ HIS COVER IS BLOOOOOOOWN. Now who will he mooch off of? ]

[ Oh wait, nevermind. ]

[ Skeptical face. ]

You just go around, offering old guys stuff to eat all the time, huh?

Old guys? No way! Don't you know old people don't need to eat?

Edited 2012-03-29 01:51 (UTC)

Anyway, you're in luck, because I've got some left-overs from lunch! And it's good stuff, too.

Hi!

[Finny is pretty gullible, so he doesn't sense anything off in Wolfwood's mannerisms.]

What kind of food do you like, Mr. Priest?

[ Ah, someone's taking the bait! Except... This guy looks pretty young.

But eventually his stomach growling wins out. ]

Man, I dunno! I'm so hungry, I could eat just about anything.

Depends what kinda food your holiness is lookin' for, but there's a steakhouse not too far from Tower Apartments for starters.

Aha, pretty sure that title's reserved for someone a little higher and mightier than me.

[ He pauses, and casts a forlorn glance towards his stomach. ]

Steak, huh? That's probably a little outta my budget range.

So what's your budget, preacher man? [ the titles are going to continue until he gets reminded of what this guy's name actually is ]

Oh, I don't see many fellow priests around here.

Nice to meet you Mr. Wolfwood!

[ That pings him, though his mask doesn't slip for a moment. ]

Guess we're a rare breed, huh? Definitely didn't see many of us back home, either!

[ That doofy smile of his only seems to grow wider. ]

Pleasure's mine, mister...?

Xellos, the mysterious priest!

[Quite cheerfully]

Mysterious?

Thats me alright!

Oh my god! Wolfwood! You're back!

[There's a moment's hesitation on his part, if only because he's drawing a blank at this man's face. He'd heard from the girl with the topknot, about how he'd been here before and it had sounded impossible at the time, and still did.

He smiles wide, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. ]

Seems that way. Though I think I've forgotten a few things, so ya might need to refresh me a little!

Oh. [He blinked, his smile falling slightly, before going back up.] It's okay! This happens all the time, here. I'm Doctor Kenzo Tenma. We used to be roommates.
