1 [accidental voice post eventually filtered by Wolfwood from Knives, Legato and Yuber]

[There's the sound of some background noise; birds tweeting, shrubbery being trodden underfoot, but above all that there's the sound of someone- a woman- humming cheerfully.]

Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many plants before except in picture books! And isn’t it a lovely day? I’ve never had a dream before where I got to be in a forest, but if it means that I get to see lovely trees and animals like this then I don’t think I mind it at all!

[Some more happy humming can be heard, and footsteps through the undergrowth.]

My back’s all itchy. That’s funny, I don’t usually get an itchy back when I dream. Oh no, I’m not allergic to trees am I? That would be just awful! Magic Book, could you tell me if I’m allergic to trees?

[…]

Silly old Milly, of course the book isn’t going to tell you that, books can’t talk!

…I wonder if there’s a pudding tree? All my very best dreams have pudding somewhere, so it really doesn’t make a lot of sense if there isn’t a pudding tree…

[More humming, someone sure sounds cheerful. Then she stops.]

…I think I’m lost.

[Uh oh. That has all the hallmarks of a new person, doesn't it.]

Excuse me, Miss. I'm afraid it's not a dream.

[Because clearly, a voice coming from the book is really going to help prove what Mihai just said.]

[voice]

[stungunning]

[Oh wow, the book is talking.]

Goodness, you really can talk!

Re: [voice]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

...I can, but the book can't.

[Mihai sighs, trying to figure out the best way to explain this.]

The book isn't quite normal. It's more like a telephone. I'm actually talking to you from another book.

[Gosh, he's going to have to go around to way too many people in the meanwhile. The pains of being a dead guy with your not!dead lady friend appearing But he notes that Milly's brought up Gunsmoke, so he chimes in—]

... I'll tell her myself, Mihai. Just don't bring me up for now, until I can find where she is.

Re: [filtered]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

[Wow, a special message, and Wolfwood's addressing him by name?]

...So does that make her the one?

[Voice] 1/3

[notabluesbro]

Lo—?

[...]

[Voice] 2/3

[notabluesbro]

[... Holy shit.

No way. Is that—that can't be. He'd heard just a few lines at the end, so maybe he was just hearing things; but... that voice is pretty undeniable. He wouldn't forget it.

What do I say.

What should I do?

First thing—first thing. Find her. Dangerous stuff can loom around here.]

[Voice] 3/4 lies

[notabluesbro]

[...s-snicker. A pudding tree?

Oh god, Milly. He should expect this, and he'd laugh at this if he weren't so panicked. This is...]

[Written] 4/4 whoopsie |Da

[notabluesbro]

[... Really goddamn unexpected. The last thing he considered on list of things that could happen, right now.

First off: he's filtering that post for you, Milly. It's now Filtered from Knvies and Legato... and Yuber. Just in case. And then, just some writting:]

Can you see a village where you're at?

[...What do I do. I've never explained something like this before.]

[Voice] Oh you. |D

[stungunning]

[After peering at the journal for a little while at that writing she frowns and looks around her.]

No, just tons and tons of really huge trees...

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

[Oh man, it's really mean but he's really tempted to pretend to be a magic book. At least for a little while. After that he can tell her everything and it'll be okay... alright sounds good! Because Luffy!logic is always right. He tries to make his voice sound as mysterious as possible. Which he mostly fails at.]

But I'm a mystery book! We definitely do talk!

[Voice]

[stungunning]

[And she nearly drops the book because you suddenly lost about- um- I do not know how many years, but YOUR VOICE CHANGED MAGIC BOOK!]

...How did you manage to change your voice like that?

[Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato/Yuber]

[goldenglasses]

Milly! Is that really you? [He's not sure if this is the greatest thing ever... or to be horrified someone like you was dragged here.]

[Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato/Yuber]

[stungunning]

Hi Mr. Vash!

[Because this is totally normal after all, why wouldn't you be in her dream?]

[Filtered to Vash]

[notabluesbro]

I'll, uh... go get her, when I figure out where she's at.

[He's already out and about as it is, but still. This is a little mind-numbing for him. I'm sure it's pretty obvious in his tone, but even more so obvious just by what Vash knows of him.

They... got a little problem to address, him and Milly.]

WHOA! A pudding tree would be awesome!

[Voice]

[stungunning]

Wouldn't it?

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

A pudding tree?

[... ... ...]

That does sound pretty good!

[voice]

[stungunning]

Have you seen one around here?

[ voice ] because you need moar.

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

If it's any help at all, I'm sure I've never heard of someone being allergic to trees.

[ voice ] :3

[stungunning]

Oh well that is a relief, it would be just awful to be allergic to something as lovely as trees.

[ voice ] I AM THE BIGGEST LOSER OF THEM AAAALL

Milly... [ EMOTION EXPLOSION. She has never ever missed anyone as much as she has missed Milly. ]

[Sanji initially stays on the page to scream murder at Luffy for confusing a poor, innocent lady, maybe even offer some words of advice while finding his captain and kicking him into a wall...

Only to find the Trigun cast flippin' out at the arrival of this... Milly, and it stops his rant before it gets a chance to fly.

And now he's left being very, very intrigued - by Wolfwood's reaction specifically, which calls up one conversation of theirs in particular, a long time ago: pudding and women and lost promises.

... Heh. Jeez Luceti. Sanji wants to curse you and shake your shitty hand at the same time. ]

It's not a dream, though I'm sure your friends have told you already, Milly-chan~!

[stungunning]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry magic book but I think you've got me muddled with someone else; my name is Milly Thompson not Milly Chan.
