[It's late at night and he's camped out in one of the new feather stations. Like most nights this past week he's unable to sleep. He misses Rem and Meryl had been gone for so long. What could they be doing to her? It made him feel so helpless, he couldn't save and protect anyone he cared about. Meryl... she must be so scared. And Rem, he had left her again. Would he ever see her again?

And what would she think if she saw him now? What would either of them think? He still didn't really want to go home. To be faced with that empty room, but Wolfwood and the girls were still there. What if Wolfwood left one day too? He didn't want to think about it. He hated this, but what else could he do? Nothing. Nothing, but keep moving forward.

He knows he's not getting any sleep tonight. So he leaves the station, cleaning it up before he goes. He takes a long walk through the dark and quiet woods. It's early morning by the time he reaches the village. Nothing, but keep moving forward. So he heads for the bakery, a smile on his face and orders a dozen donuts. Starting off slow and easy, he takes his haul to the fountain to watch the village wake up and eat his breakfast.]

Mmmhmm! Wow! These sure are tasty! That just baked freshness! It's amazing! Super moist! AHAHA! The perfect way to start a day!

[Donuts done, he visits the flower shop. Checking on the flowers and helping to care for the ones that need it. Once they're all watered to perfection he moves onto the item and grocery shop to pick up a few supplies for home. He doesn't really know what they need after being gone for so long, but really he's just stalling.

Finally, once he has a small bag of supplies in hand he heads home. He heads up to the door and enters the house as if he hadn't just run away for a week.] Hey guys, I got some bread, cheese, and ham if anyone wants a sandwich! [And with that "I'm home" announcement, Vash sets to putting away what he got and making himself a sandwich to sit down and eat. As he chews he thinks about the written message Milly had made and decides he has to do one last thing before trying to put this behind him.]

Sorry if I worried anyone. I'm alright. Man, it's been getting cold out lately! Do you think it will snow soon? All the leaves changing colors has been pretty, but I think the forest looks so sad when they're all down until the snow comes!

We'll get something else before snow, probably. Halloween's always been a mess, right?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Ugh, don't remind me. Last year was horrible. Not to mention that costume they forced me in.

[voice]

[godbent]

So what do you think this year'll be like.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

How about... they leave us alone! Yeah! I like that plan! Sounds like a great plan to me!

[voice]

[seiriald]

... The leaves are changing colors?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Ah, yeah, when the air starts to get colder the leaves will turn from green to reds, oranges, and yellows.

[voice]

[seiriald]

Wow, really? I don't think I remember ever seeing that.

[crisisrain]

[It's been a while since he's seen Vash, but he didn't expect to see him this early in the morning and stuffing his face too.]

Donuts for breakfast?

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah? What's so strange about that? [He gives a rather large and dramatic sigh.] And usually people are confused when I eat them for lunch!

Or dinner.

Or a snack or two!

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Vash old pal, I think ya might have a donut addiction. Not the healthiest of things, but oh well. How are things anyway?

[notabluesbro]

[JUST AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO EAT THAT SANDWICH there is a whap of Wolfwood's hand hitting the back of your head as he walks by. Like a damn priest-ninja. The fact of the matter is, he figured you'd be coming around pretty soon. He's got your weird calendar almost figured out.]

Welcome back, spikey.

[Oh hey, sandwich stuff. Gonna just make me one. `_`]

You left your kitten to scratch up my door, y'know. I had to take care of it and that little demon cat.

[goldenglasses]

Ow! You didn't have to hit me for that! I'm sure Donut wasn't that much of a handful! He's still just a kitten! Or are you really getting so rusty you can't even handle a little cat without me?

[notabluesbro]

Didn't hit you for that.

But that's beside the point. You shouldn't go making the girls worry about you like that. Or did you forget that around here, when people up and vanish it might be because they're kidnapped?

[Point point]

The slap was for not leaving a decent note.

[She is glad you are alright even though she doesn't know the reason for concern. She can probably guess, however.]

Does it snow often here?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well, it seems like a lot to me, but I guess for you it might not be so much. Around November to early March it stays.

[Voice]

[toujoursfluer.livejournal.com]

It seems like it would be beautiful, ne? I imagine the children have a lot of fun.
[Though she had never been fond of it as a child. It occurs to her then that it is something Chopper might like.]

But right now everything is dying so beautifully. It's sort of ironic, isn't it?

[voice]

[hiken_ace]

Snow, eh......haven't seen that in a while.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

I haven't seen it since last year! AHAHAHAH! [See how witty he is?]

[voice]

[hiken_ace]

Last year? [What are rotating season in the OP world.]

[Action]

[moehealer]

You sure like donuts, huh?

[It's hard to miss someone shouting about how amazing they are.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Mmmhmm! Mmmph! MMppmmm mph! [Yeah! They're really good! He reaches into his bag and offers one up.] Mmph, mm? [Want one?]

[Action]

[moehealer]

[..Yeah, Yellow can't help but laugh at that. Before taking the offer though, she'll ask-] Are you sure? I'd feel kinda bad taking one from you, especially since you seem to like them so much.

[action] in the flower shop?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Hello, Vash. [ Aerith's checking the roses, hmming carefully at them--but her eyes keep sliding over to Vash. ] How are you?

[action] I was thinking of you when I put that in there! 8D

[goldenglasses]

[His happy mask is back in place like always. He's still upset that Rem has gone, but he's not showing it at all.] Not too bad! The bakery had some of their best donuts yet this morning!

[action] aww, yay!

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[ It's not necessarily how happy he is or isn't--but how good for a person can not being able to sleep be? ]

And the early bird gets the doughnut. Save any for me? [ Teasing, because she doesn't expect it--she knows Vash's appetite for those. ]
