[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.]

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?

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.

[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.]

[Sorry, Vash. Nami can't dredge up the appropriate look of shock and horror today.]

...in this town? That's original.

[Sighs] Still would be nice if there was one less. [Or at least one he could hit.]

The whip of Simon Belmont, right?

[Well, that sucks. By that logic, doesn't matter which of them stole it, if either of them went that far.]

He's going to kill me whether you succeed or fail. [Pause.] Well, he's going to try.

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

He... is...?

What did you do? Not a good enough minion? [Because that was apparently his crime.]

I don't think it is quite that. Basically the part that actually hits the target is what would need to be enchanted. From what I have seen of such weapons, that isn't very large is it?

[mrr, Vash. Her voice softens.] "Go and seduce Simon Belmont and steal his whip for me." Those are my instructions. "If you don't, I'll kill you and one other."

I'm guessing you can see the logic trap there.

Ah, I see.

Uh - we could tell Aku is a was a group effort?

...although I don't really plan on giving someone like that what he wants.

Heck no. If he wants Simon's whip, that means Simon's whip can hurt him.

I need to talk to him. I think there's a way out of this. But you should probably concentrate on maybe finding those bullets.

No, bullets aren't very large. They're usually smaller than a finger.

I was looking to talk to him as well. Was hoping to see it there was a way to get an identical whip to give to Aku instead.

[Have a voice you've never heard before speak from your journal in a serious, no nonsense voice.]

Not exactly subtle, are you, Vash the Stampede?

And often the enchantments on a sword take up the vast majority of the blade. That is what would make it difficult.

[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.

I didn't think about that. To be honest I had a feeling it couldn't be done, but how dangerous would it be to try?

You all but spelled out your intention. If someone is relaying information to Aku, you just marked yourself for death.

[...Yup. Bats knows about being blunt.]

The main danger I see in even trying it is that it won't work and you will be in a bad situation. Is it possible a bullet that does not work could do anything to your gun and injure you that way?

[That was her original plan, but...]

Aku will find out pretty shortly that the whip is fake. If he doesn't notice it's fake the moment you hand it over.

Talk to Simon for us both, then. Maybe he can think of something we can't.

[...]

...I'm going to assume that even a thirty foot demonic representaton of evil is something not allowed to be killed in your books.

I realize that, but right now I have no way to defend myself against Aku and a list of people who know these kind of things isn't something common. It's a risk, but I'm willing to take it to find a way to defend myself against him.

If it jammed it could end badly, but that would be an extreme situation. I'd imagine if it cause the bullet to not work it would be more like a dud. Where it just wouldn't fire.

[Long pause] No one, means no one.

Understandable. But discretion will keep you and who you talk to about it safer.

...I doubt you've had much luck so far. There are very few people with that sort of power.
