[Vash had been putting this off, considering how their last conversation went, but he can’t put it off any longer.] Hey, Sanji. [Pause.] How... are you doing?

[End Filter]

[Vash isn’t sure why, but as he tucks his journal away he gets the feeling this isn’t going to be a good day. What’s a guy to do to fight a bad day? Well, some donuts might be a good start, except as he heads for the bakery he’s distracted by a shiny object on the ground.] What’s this thi-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[And Vash is off in a Tron Bike, flying down the streets yelling at passersby to GET OUT OF THE WAY! Perhaps you’re one of the people he just narrowly avoids slamming into on his mad race to the outskirts of the forest, where he manages to miss a few trees before finally crashing into a larger tree. Then he’s tossed away from the crash landing in another tree and falling halfway down until his coat snags on a branch, leaving him hanging upside down in a tree. Which is the perfect time for his journal to fall out of his pocket and land open on the ground.]

Ow…

[Do de do de do-

...it sounds like someone is yelling. She turns to her head to see if she can locate the source.]

[WHAT IN THE WORLD IS -

Is that Vash?]

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[/brb, on the nearest rooftop now.

Peeeeeering down at that streak of blue and red and gold that just whizzed past her.]

[goldenglasses]

[That streak of blue, red, and gold that just whizzed by? Just crashed into a tree. The blue is gone, but that red and gold has just whizzed by into another tree.]

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[Jumping down off the roof now. She approaches the tree somewhat cautiously.]

...

[What the heck?]

Vash?

[goldenglasses]

[Said blur is no longer a blur but in fact - Vash hanging upside down in a tree.] Oh man... I didn't know you had two pretty sisters.

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[...well, he's well enough to be speaking, anyway. Don't mind her as she laughs at his expense.]

No, no sisters. Maybe you'd have a better view from the ground, ne?

[goldenglasses]

What are you talking about I am on the ground. You three are the ones flying!

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

Mmmhmm. [You're a lucky man, Vash. You caught her in a good mood today. She'll just reach up with one arm and casually help you out of the tree. She won't even drop you until you're a few inches off of the ground, and when she does, it's on your rear!]

Better?

[goldenglasses]

[Weaving back and forth as he's sitting] Yeah, a little bit.

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

Che. [So amused. She bends down to be eye-level with him, uncaring of that gaping neckline, and holds two fingers out in front of his face.]

How many fingers am I holding up?

[Can you look at the fingers in instead of the boobs? CAN you?]

[goldenglasses]

[Nooooooooooope, he may have tone downed his skirt chasing ways since becoming closer to Meryl, but no man can resist such a target.] Gee, I don't know. You may have to come a little closer!

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[...uh-huh. Those two fingers curl into a fist and she knocks him - none-too-gently but without using her real strength - on the side of the head before standing up straight.]

You're fine.

[goldenglasses]

O-ouch!

No I'm not... now there are six of you...

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

All the better for you, ne? [S-so cold, Matsumoto.]

You'll recover.

[goldenglasses]

Better I guess... if you don't hit the injured anymore.

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[She would be ignoring your pain now.]

What made you crash into this tree anyway?

[goldenglasses]

I couldn't find the breaks in that thing... and didn't turn fast enough.

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

What thing?

[goldenglasses]

That blue... car... thing!

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

Blue... car... thing? [All she saw as a blue blur then you crashing. The evidence has conveniently vanished.]

[goldenglasses]

I don't know! All I really know is I saw a blue disk on the ground and when I picked it up I was suddenly going a couple thousand iles per hour! [No, iles is not a typo. That's what he said.]

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

Iles, huh? [She turns and glances over her shoulder before looking back at him.] Well - whatever it was seems to be gone now. You were lucky you didn't end up hurt worse.

[goldenglasses]

[Sitting up now and rubbing his head.] You're telling me! I can't believe I didn't break my neck!

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

Better luck next time! [What does she mean by that? She doesn't even know. Have a side look of concern.]

Are you all right to stand?
