[Action] Alone?

[unseenspy]

[Now that he's fully recovered from the mallynapping, Jay can be found walking aimlessly through the snow with his hands in his pockets. He has nowhere to go in particular, so he just walks, staring down at the ground. Many thoughts are crossing through his mind, and he's not looking very happy. Normally, he would prefer to do something productive, but for now, he just wants to be alone...]

[Or so he tries to convince himself. It's not exactly working, however.]

[Cheer him up? Make him miserable?]

[Usopp likes that first option, but hell if he knows what you're so depressed about. Please to be making a cautious approach.]

Oi. Are you sick or something? [pleasedunkillhim]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Jay pauses and raises an eye. He's not as sick as he was a week ago, anyway.]

No...I'm fine.

[He'll keep walking again. Keep trying if you wish.]

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[Usopp is not a man who picks up on 'lemme alone' vibes so easily. :| He'll be walking with you now.]

I thought that you might be, you look kind of like your stomach's upset or something. Or maybe that was just me, if you're sure you're fine. If not, my friend's a really good doctor and he's almost always at the clinic, just ask for Chopper and tell him Usopp sent you.

Oh, and I'm Usopp, nice to meet you.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

My stomach? What gave you that idea?

[Pause] The clinic, huh? I'll consider it...when I do get sick.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

Your face looked kind of like my friend's used to, back home. She got sick after her parents died, and she'd always look like that. Said her stomach was bothering her. [Then again...] Or maybe she wasn't telling me the truth. [And just for this irony, he will chuckle.]

Good, Chopper's one of the best doctors around.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

It must have been the last part then. [About the friend not telling the truth.]

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I can't really get mad at her for it, though, I used to tell her stories all the time.

[Oh look! The weirdo he fed a few days ago]

Hey, what's got your panties in a bunch there kid? [Suddenly appearing nearby and wandering over to walk alongside him]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Sure, Jay might have been friendlier with someone he's already spoken to, especially the one who took care of him, but that approach throws him off.]

What kind of question is that?

[james-morph.livejournal.com]

[Eyeroll at the stand-offishness]

Sorry, it's a colloquialism in my world, so what's up with you huh? You look pretty down?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Right... [Eyebrow raise]

Nothing's wrong. I'm fine.

[You wouldn't understand, even if he told you.]

[james-morph.livejournal.com]

['Cause little boys who play with knives are soooo complicated]

...You're not very good at lying.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I-I'm...

[He knows you have a point, but it's just so complicated.]

I'm not... lying...

[Jay decides to walk again before he breaks.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Seems to be the week for all the kidnap victims to return, given she has no idea Jay turned back up a week ago. When she sees him, she crosses the street.]

...Jay?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Jay perks up when he hears his name. This is the first time he's seen Nami in person, so it takes a moment to recognize her.]

...Nami?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

In the flesh. Are you okay?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

That's impressive for someone who just got back from a date with the Malnosso. Wanna try again?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I got back a week ago, so I've had my time to recover, thanks.

[Senel was heading out on his way to the store when he spots Jay walking past.]

Hey, Jay.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap, his companions may still care after all! Ahem...clearing throat.]

Hello, Senel.

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

Heading somewhere? [He can't tell where Jay might be going based on the direction.]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Not particularly.

[Yeah, he's just walking through the village for the hell of it.]

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

I'm going to stock up on supplies. Doesn't look like the weather's getting better soon.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[The remark causes Jay to stop and look up at the sky for a moment. Staying in bed for most of the week, running out of supplies and more bad weather to boot. Stocking up does sound like a good idea.]

Stocking up...I should do that myself.
