(action the first;) ¬ [ Usopp sure did wake up on the ground by a New Feather Watch Station with a frog in his face. This normally might not merit more than a jump and a laugh at himself while he overcame the general confusion of waking up on the ground with a frog in his face, when he was just on the ocean, but then the frog said "are you lost?" Man of might that he is, the Great Captain Usopp, he could only accept this and the glimpse of something disturbingly yellow and feathery on his back with due dignity and tact.
That is, by screaming "MONSTER FROG" into its face and shooting into the watch station with speed that any coward could appreciate. For the time being, he's labeling the station "the hut I'm holed up in possibly for the rest of eternity, but it could be worse, and I will pay the owner back for this loose shirt and pair of socks later." A working title, true, but serviceable.
Sure, the shirt kind of irritates his wings, which makes him think about them, which makes him twist around to look at them properly only to panic a little more, which makes him scream "I'M DEAD" a couple of times… but it gives him breathing room to be in here at all, so that could be worse, too. Room to open that journal with his name on it, from arm's length, with a stick, with his face turned the other way. Once it fails to explode or threaten him, he jumps on the chance to investigate something that doesn't pose immediate danger (go figure). If someone happens to be by the station marked 'bb' on the map, they're welcome to intrude anywhere. ]
(voice;) ¬ [ One way or another, he gets to the Guide and sort of skims through it. Enough to pick up on a few important things. One: he is not dead, most likely. Two: he is not alone (!!!). Three: everybody has a wing problem. Four: he is going to be subjected to war and horrible scientific experiments…? Third Party, Malnosso, impermanent death, time freezing, kidnappings… he just wanted to follow Nami and start on getting her and the Merry back like he promised Luffy . Now there's all- all this.
Well. If you can't beat 'em or nope right back out of this new world… better lie about something after the fact. ]
S- so, Luceti! What a beautiful place! You know, the last island full of talking animals and scientists that I went to had all the trees chopped down for experimentation: it was really disappointing! All of the animals were homeless because of it. But they were also the scientists, so I guess they should have seen it coming! [ Loud Laughing is Super Convincing 101, with Professor Captain Usopp. The snapshot presents a man who is all snot and smudged dirt and shaking-because-his-knees-won't-stop-knocking. Like a true professional, he just keeps on talking and is totally, completely, one hundred percent absolutely not sounding freaked out by anything. Not him. No, sir. ]
It turned out great in the end, though! I taught them how to build mansions out of pillows and old boxes and they were so grateful that they made me their mayor! My crew sailed away into the sunset richer for the experience. Aaaah, I'm sure that things will turn out really well here, too! Y- you've got Captain Usopp on your side, y'know! [ oh god we are all going to die Luffy Zoro where are you please save me. He is obviously lying. ] Oh, and if you've... if you've seen a bloody green-haired guy or a really loud one with a straw hat, you should definitely let me know! They're lost without me.
(action, the revenge;) ¬ [ As the label suggests, Usopp will get around to town-wandering... eventually. Probably in a few hours, when he's less high-pitched and ready to fake a heart attack. The hope to find his bag or slingshot or regular clothes in one of these shops is greater than his hesitation over an unfamiliar village.
Actually, being in the village proper is a lot more soothing than being alone in the forest. It isn't exactly the same, of course, but the sort of feeling it seems to be going for, all quaint and clustered, reminds him of home. There are some scary looking people out and about, but the longer he goes without being struck down, the easier it is for him to decide to poke his head into just one more building to see what it's like.
Stops of particular note are: the items shop, where he will be making a cautious dig for a slingshot and other accessories, the clothes shop, where he refuses to rest until he's found his blue and white armband at the least, and pretty much any grocery store, because he will want food eventually and would like to be completely sure it won't make him sick (or he wouldn't want to make some chef feel bad by getting sick or being picky. the Baratie was enough for him, thank you very much). ]

[She totally believes that best fisherman stuff and she thinks it's kinda cool.]
Plus, I bet a lot of people would like to learn to fish if they didn't know already. And if you're the best, it'll probably be like, no problem!

[Even if not being miserable is really hard sometimes. Still, his optimism is kind of infectious.]
If you end up setting this up, give everybody a heads up! A-And if you need a hand, I'll be, like, totally happy to help out!

I mean, I've been here a while, but...it's never too late to take a stand, right?! E...Even if it's just a little one...
