[filtered from Sanji, though he's still not sure if he has the right idea]

Hey, uh... I don't suppose anyone's heard from Naoki since yesterday?

[Pause...]

Not that there's... probably any need to worry or anything. You know him - hanging out in the woods all the time... I bet he's hearing this right now.

Just, uh. You know. Let me know or something.

You don't think he got taken, do ya?

[You know, in case you're not worried enough.]

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

By the Malnosso? While he was out?

They'd better not have...

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Just a guess. Got any others?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Maybe he and Sanji just... went on another camping trip or something.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Then he went without tellin' ya.

I'm guessin' that's something he don't do, judgin' by how worked up you are about it.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I'm not worked up about it!

[filtered]

He told me he was going to meet Sanji, and... something about not coming after him. I wasn't all that awake at the time.

Uh-huh. So what, he's pissed at you or something?

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Naoki? Pissed? [What concept is this...]

But I didn't do anything...

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Beats me. I'm just stabbin' in the dark. [And bored. Oh so bored.]

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Don't see why he would be... But he looked so serious...

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

You do got a talent for pissin' people off.

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

But... Naoki would never get that mad at me, would he?

[He shakes his head suddenly, though it doesn't carry over the journal.] No, he'll be back. I'm over-thinking this.

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

You all right? [Yeah, that's actual concern in Raph's voice. There was bait, and you totally didn't take it. That doesn't sit well with him at all.]

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Snapped.] Of course I'm all right! I'm not the one missing.

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

He's been gone a day. How freakin' bad could it be?

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Right! I'm sure he's fine. I'm not that worried.

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He snorts.] You're a nervous wreck.

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I am not! [He is.]

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you are. Take a pill or somethin'. Bet your mama'll be back in time ta tuck you in bed. Can't fall asleep without that goodnight kiss, am I right?

[And now he's chuckling just a little. He's trying to cheer you up...or something. Maybe.]

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Oh shut up, you ass. [He's lacking good comebacks right now, sadly, but he sounds a bit more like himself.]

Seriously, the friends I have...

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[That only makes him laugh harder. Now that's more like it.] You ask for it, man. You so ask for it.

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll write it on my forehead already.

How's Don doing, by the way?

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Ah, he's fine. The campin' trip did him good.

[Voice | Filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

That's good. I'd hate to have to deal with your mood swings any longer than necessary.

[Voice | Filtered]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean? [Challenging. He was in a good mood a second ago. Don't mess with it.]
