[Vash today is standing outside of Community Building Four staring up into the rain, a happy smile on his face and laughing joyfully. His arms stretched out, he’s already drenched, but doesn’t seem to mind. After a few minutes he opens his journal.]

Hey Meryl! It’s raining outside! [Would anyone care to explain to him what a raincoat is?]

(ooc: I checked the calendar! It is indeed raining!)

So mushi are living things?

Well, Gunsmoke's weather did change a little. It would go from hot - to hotter.

[voice] yes I edited that whole post to add one apostrophe...

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

That's right. In my world-- they are life in its purest form. But most people can't see them.

Like a desert climate? Is Gunsmoke the area where you lived-- or was the whole world like that?

[voice] It's cool! I'm all for editing for silly/important things!

[goldenglasses]

Oh wow. I can't begin to imagine what life in it's purest form must look like.

Gunsmoke is the name of the planet... [Sheepish grin and rubs the back of his head] and yeah, it's all desert.

Scarves, glowing dust mites in the air, floating jellyfish, snow, rain, snails, shadows, dragons, insects.....a great river of light that flows in the darkness beneath our feet. [he gestures, the smoke from his cigarette lingering in the shape of a river just a tad too long to be normal smoke]

The whole planet...a desert? [That is....incredibly depressing to him. If he were the type to be depressed. You poor kid.] That's hard for me to imagine.

Do you miss it, there?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Just smiles happily at your imagery. Even if he can't picture all the things you're talking about.]

I miss my friends there more. I don't miss the desert a whole lot, but I suppose I miss it now and then. I just hope one day Gunsmoke's landscape could be more like Luceti's.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Ohh-- did you friends not show up here, with you?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well one was actually here before I came. She's been here a whole year before I came, but some are still at home.

[voice]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

I see.

You said-- that you hoped that home would be like Luceti, one day. Is the climate the result of some natural disaster? One the planet is recovering from, maybe?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

No, it's a natural desert, but we have these plants that are able to help make the land fertile with some hard work, but it can take a long time and they don't all work as they should.

[Edo era mind thinks...foliage.]

Plants...not work? How is that?

Re: [voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well... they're not like normal plants. They're a mixture of machine and organic life, but it's a lost technology. Most people don't know how to program them correctly.

[voice]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Machine and organic life? I've never heard of such a thing. Wouldn't have thought they were possible to mix.

[muses] I guess if it's a "lost" technology you wouldn't be able to tell me what kind of organic life? [Can't help thinking like a mushishi, even when he's knows it's another world entirely...]

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Sorry, I'm not really sure myself. It's pretty complicated. [Actually he probably has some idea - but because it was never really made fully clear in anime/manga I'm going with him being uncomfortable talking about this. XD]
