[Action/Voice - Backdated to the 14th]

[goldenglasses]

[Shortly after this thread on the 14th Vash is quickly making his way back to town. He has some work to do. For those of you that know Vash well the usual happy tone is missing from his voice.]

[Filtered to Simon Belmont // 100% Unhackable]

Mr. Belmont? My name is Vash. [He knows they’ve talked once or twice, but it’s been awhile.] I would like to ask you a few questions if I could about Aku and your whip.

[Filtered to Miyabi // 100% Unhackable]

Miyabi, you said your sword Sumomo could cut Aku. Do you know how it was able to do that?

[And because Vash is smart and will figure out Aku’s weakness eventually there is a voice post to the masses sometime later.]

[Filtered from Aku, Kefka, and Yuber (Just go with the badguy list. Yeah that works.) // 100% Unhackable]

Uh, this is probably a strange question. Does anyone know a way to give bullets a - uh, holy quality to them? I don’t think just blessing them will do the trick.

[With that done Vash can be found headed toward the weapon shop. For those who meet up with him or try to talk to him about something other than Aku stuff will find that he’ll drop his serious act and try to act happy as usual. Although Meryl may pick up that for the next couple weeks someone will be having trouble sleeping and up late most nights.]

...holy bullets, Vash?

You're not hunting demons there, are you?

[Oh Nami - you're getting his most serious, serious voice being one of the people Aku threatened to kill.]

Sort of. Nami, Aku has threatened to kill you if I don't steal a whip for him. [Blunt seemed the only way to say it.]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

It should technically be possible, but by bullets you mean what is used in guns, right? I'm not sure if they could handle the sorts of enchantments needed to add magic to a weapon.

[Filtered because he's being a little paranoid]

[goldenglasses]

Yes, I mean a gun. Is it because it's a machine that it wouldn't be able to handle the magic?

Not exactly subtle, are you, Vash the Stampede?

[Filtered 100% to Vash]

[goldenglasses]

[Yeah, most people would be surprised to have someone they haven't met know who they are. Not Vash. He's use to it.]

It's a strange request, sometimes being blunt is the only way.

Holy bullets? What do you need those for?

Brian. You fail so hard sometimes.

[goldenglasses]

I'm a hunter of peace! I thought with so magic users here, if someone could do it, it might make my bullets less deadly! [Lies, but it's what he'd like people to think he's thinking.]

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

There might be several books in the library concerning that subject.

...[okay, maybe he should filter this, which he does now]

Why do you wish to give your bullets, holy qualities?

[Voice] [Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Ah, being a hunter of peace and with so many magic users around - I thought making my bullets holy might make them less deadly! [Lies, but it's the rumor he's hoping to get certain people to believe.]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

... Holy bullets? [doesn't even know how to filter, so skipping that part]

[goldenglasses]

[Oh Sanji, musters the biggest fake smile he can.] Yeah, I'm a hunter of peace! I was hoping by making my bullets holy they'd do less damage when fired.

[Her voice has a hard edge and she speaks precisely. Now's not the time for subtleties.] Sumomo, as well as perhaps every poncle's sword, was created to be a tool to spread awareness of the gods back home in Nippon. It's not only an instrument made for the sake of the gods, but it also uses the power of the Celestial Brush - the thirteen Brush Gods' separate powers.

In short, it's a holy power that can cut Aku. [She nods to his statement about holy bullets.] Perhaps a priest or priestess here can bless your weapon? That's how it was done back home to exercise evil spirits. Though they usually used rosaries and talismans.

...Why the sudden interest, Vash? [What the hell do I have to punch you in the mouth for this time?]

[Voice | Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

You think blessing would do the trick?

And I've just realized that right now I have no way to protect myself against Aku. I want to change that.

[harmonicmelodia.livejournal.com]

Holy bullets? Whatever do you need them for?

[ voice ]

[goldenglasses]

As a hunter of peace and with so many magic users I was hoping that if my bullets had a holy quality I could stop people from attacking others without hurting them! [Lies]

What do you wish to know?

[Voice | Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Your whip, Aku has said that if I don't steal it from you he will kill two of my friends.

I'm assuming he wants your whip so badly because it can harm him. Is that true?

[Voice/Filtered]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Have you considered getting acquainted with the Filial spirits? I believe there was one with a holy element.

[Voice/Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

I thought about it, but I thought I'd ask in case they couldn't do anything with bullets.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Holy quality...?

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

I want to find a way to hit Aku. Right now I can't.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

A holy quality?

[Filter]

[goldenglasses]

I'm looking for a way to defend myself against Aku.

[He wasn't going to respond at first but... people have been having a lot of bad luck lately]

Not that I'll be much help with your request... but it is an odd one. Why would you need to do that?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well I figured with holy spells attached to my bullets people wouldn't get as hurt when I fired them!

[And you get a filter and the truth.]

Actually... I'm looking for a way to stop Aku.

[Voice | Filter]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

In my world, you either get a priest to bless them, or you make them out of silver.

Or both. Even better if the bullets are made from a blessed silver crucifix.

Those idiots didn't let a bunch of hungry vampires loose on the village while we're out here fighting, did they?

[Voice | Filter]

[goldenglasses]

Silver? Really?

Uh... no. I was just curious to find out if adding a holy spell to my bullets would make them less deadly. [Sorry Derek he doesn't trust just anyone.]

[ Oh, she'll be noticing and going nuts with worry. For now... she knows something's up. ]

I'll see if there's something about it in the library.

Don't get hurt, Vash.

Private

[goldenglasses]

I'll try. I'm looking for something that could hit a demon. Right now he just absorbs everything, but apparently holy attacks can hit him.

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

Holy without blessing them...?

[goldenglasses]

I thought possibly making them holy would help make them less dangerous!
