[Best, Message, EVER, Vash. ]

Love and Peace? I like it! That's a wonderful message to spread throughout the world!

As a hunter of peace it is my duty fair lass!

[ GIggling. ]

How do you hunt peace?

You go around and look for it! And when you can't find it! You spread it! Hugs sometimes work... uh - but not on my friend Sanji. He kicks.

Oh! Maybe I should do that too! [ Giggle. Ohgod Polka, don't take the advice of a drunk man :( ]

Sanji? I know him! He helped me a lot when I first came here.

Ah! You know Twinkle Toes too?! I like him... he's a good friend when he's not making my head hurt!

Twinkle Toes? Is that what you call him? [ Giggling forever now. ] So does he make your head hurt because he kicks you when you call him that?

[Nods] Or hug him.

[ O Vash, you're too much. ]
Awww, he shouldn't kick you for that. Everyone could use a few more hugs in their life!

That's what I told him! But he said guys don't hug!

That's silly! What else are arms for if not to be able to hug people? ... oh, and well, to carry things too I suppose.

I like the way you think!

[ Giggle. ]

I'm glad. I like the way you think too - love and peace is the greatest! My name is Polka, what's yours?

My name iiiiiiiiisssssss! Vash the Stampede! A hunter of peace! Chasing the elusive mayfly known as love! I don't let anyone in my sight get away, and my bullets never miss their mark! Especially if it's the heart of a beautiful lady~!

[ ...wait what? ]

You shoot women? Why would you do that? I thought you were after peace? And love?

[Laughs] It's a metaphor!

Oh! I'm sorry, I misunderstood. So your name is Vash the Stampede...? ..what are you stampeding on?

Over those who would cause harm to others! [Sure, why not. He'll go with that.]

So you're sort of like a knight of love and peace! That really is wonderful - are there other people like you where you're from?

Yes! Everyone who wants to spread peace is a hunter of peace! So there are many of us! [Or at least he likes to THINK so.]

Oh I'm so glad! I was worried, especially with all of the talk about a war and everything...

You mean the war here?

Yes... A friend of mine is working on the barricade in the desert - but I don't think it's related to the war. [ Or maybe it was - Polka didn't inquire too deeply into it. ]

Yes... I'm not sure what to think of the war. I've never really understood what would get two sides so upset that they needed to go to such extreme measures.

I'm sure that whatever it is, it was just a misunderstanding. I only wish that there was a way to make them see that... if this war happens, so many innocent people are going to get hurt on both sides.

There is too much about this war we know nothing about.

Do you think there's someone we can ask? If they're recruiting people to fight in the war, then we should be able to ask rather than having to fight in a senseless war that could be avoided...

I'm afraid I don't know that. We'll have to find out.

Have you been drinkin' buddy?

No!

Wait... hm.

Yes!

Ya got drunk without me?! Well I don't want yer love and peace! I refuse!

I didn't mean it old man! I fell.

Ya fell into the fountain?

A mermaid hugged me in!

I knew I should've took a pee in it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHAHH! That's gross!

But a great idea right?

Um no... that could make people sick. Which would hurt the spread of love and peace!

I'd just be givin' the wine back... [Totally teasing by the way.]

Yeah, but it wouldn't taste good anymore!

Ya do have a point there...

[Nods sagely] Then we won't want seconds if it tastes bad!

And then people would pour inta the bar ta get drunk! Then we wouldn't get a seat! Oh the tragedy!

EXACTLY!

Edited 2010-02-25 04:47 (UTC)

Ya pose a valid argument by good friend. I'll consider not takin' a wizz in the fountain then.

A wise choice!

Then I vow a citizen of Luceti, that I, The Great Raven! Will one day take a leak in the fountain.

~~[Your typos are rubbing off on me.~~

Edited 2010-02-25 04:56 (UTC)

Wait... I thought you weren't going to.

~~[I'm sorry!]~~

If it goes back ta bein' water there's no reason fer me to not pee in it right?

[OOC: IDK if he's being serious.]

Is this a goal in your life or something? Pee in a fountain?

How should I know, I'm drunk.

[Laughs!]

Though I guess it goes against yer love and peace protest huh?

Well, I guess people will live. Hopefully they don't USUALLY drink the water in there.

Do you?

Nope - buuuuuuuuut knowing my luck I'm sure I'll fall into it again eventually.

Want me ta push you in fer not goin' drinking with me?

Or we could jump in together!

I'm up fer it in the summer. Long as ya don't mind gettin' electrocuted haha!

E-electrocuted!? Uh - why would I get electrocuted?

Me and water don't mix.

Really? Why not? [It's your peeing in fountains isn't it? It hates you for it!]

Hey I may be drunk but I'm not about to go tellin' my secrets out ta people!

[Vash can totally respect that.] Alright, that's fine. I'll just keep in mind to not fall into the fountain with you.

[GAME QUOTE.]

A little electrocution is good fer ya!

Oh is it now?

Of course it is! Keeps ya on yer toes.
~~[OOC: Haven't you heard of defibrillators?]~~

Edited 2010-02-25 06:35 (UTC)

[Laughs] I guess it would!

Literally, because yer nervous system would be shocked inta paralysis.

Ouch...

You've been into the alcohol again, haven't you?

Now why would you say that! Love and peace are very important things drunk or not!

Because you never reach that volume level without it.

AHAHAHAHAHHAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ SIIIIGHHHH... ]

Come on Meryl! Say it with me!

Looooove! And PEACE!

Really? Do I have to?

Yes!

Fine, fine. Love.. and peace.

Aw~! You can do better than that!

Uh.. love and peace!

Like... er, that?

[Laughs!] Ah! Meryl you're so cute! [Yeah he totally said that in his head didn't he? Yeah. He's sure he did.]

Ah-- w-- M-Mr. Vash!

[Laughs] What? [He's drunk on love, Meryl! Watch out! He doesn't know what he's saying!]

Get a hold of yourself.

Okay! [Hugs himself]

.... How much did you have, Vash?

Um. I don't remember! I swam in it mostly!

You... swam...

[Someone is still dripping wet - he'll pay for this later.] I don't suggest doing that though! It's cold!

Of course. It's winter. And you went swimming in alcohol.

[Laughs!] Well... I didn't mean it, but it was fun!

You didn't mean to?

Razette hugged me and we fell in!

Be more careful. How did someone that small knock you down?

I was leaning over to look into the fountain and she tackled hugged me!

You need better balance.

[Laughs] You think so?

Yes, I do.

Love and peace! Love and peace! Love and peace!

Yeah! That's the spirit Noel!

Love and peace! Love! And! PEACE!

LOVE AND PEACE!

[Grinning at you.] That's the spirit! Love and peace! This place sure needs a lot of it!

It looks like it's already got plenty, but I guess more wouldn't hurt!

You can never have too much love! [Clears throat and blushes] Or-or peace!

No, you can't. Fighting's a waste of time, anyway.

I knew I liked you for a reason. [Did he say that outload?]

Ehehehe. You aren't too bad, either.

R-really?

Yeah, really! You're kind of awesome.

T-thanks! You're really awesome yourself!

Th-Thanks!

You're cute when you blush. [Stupid wine. He can't tell when he's thinking something or speaking it!]

Huh? [OH GOD HE SAID THAT OUTLOUD!] Uh... you're welcome!

Love and peace!

[Big smile, here. Yeah, he's drunk on magic stuff too.]

[Sadly - Vash probably didn't need to be drunk for this kind of stunt. But it helps.] Good smile! Smiling is good when spreading love and peace!

WHOO! PERFECT!

...

...

You drank from the fountain, didn't you, Vash?

Maybe~!

[LOUD shouting] HOWEVER! That does not matter in the spreading of love and peace!

Edited 2010-02-25 02:48 (UTC)

[It takes her a while to actually say this correctly with the language caps, and it's more "peace and love" instead of "love and peace", but it's the overall message that really matters, right? Have a delighted giggle, and a loud shout, Vash. This PSA is poncle approved.]

HEIWA TO AI!

Yay! Shout it out loud little sis! LOVE! AND! PEACE!

LOVE! AND!! PEACE! ♥

Hehe...I'll be sure you make you a strong cure for you headache, tomorrow, my dear brother.

AHAHA! Why would I have a headache?

Most alcohol does that to you the next day. I'll come by with a good remedy, Vash, don't worry. Just take care, okay? I don't want you getting hurt.

HA! Me? Get hurt? I never get-ACK! [And there he goes tripping over his own feet, but he's laughing] I'm okay!

[Snerk. Oh, Vash, your derpness knows no bounds. At least she's laughing with you!] I;ll be over to see you soon. Be well.

Heiwa to ai, oniisama~ ♥

Okay! I'll see you later then!

[She just giggles, nods to the camera, and shuts her journal with a smile. Just don't be too sick the following day, Vash, or she'll reprimand you for drinking like a camel.]

Love and peace?

Love! And! Peace! Everyone should practice it more often!

But how do you practice something like that?

By being peaceful and helping others find peace!

You mean like by helping people and doing nice things for them?

That's a great start!

Maybe you need to die a few more times?

[Yeah, drunk demon just means he's less likely to outright attack. His tolerance for touching was taken fully by Albert.]

[Don't kill his buzz you buzzkill.]

Sorry~! But I don't do requests!

Obviously not, or you would have stayed dead.

I'm sorry to have disappointed you! [No he's not.]

I can do it as many times as needed before you finally stay dead.

You know, I think you could fit in and have some fun if you gave it a chance.

I think you are very wrong. My idea of fun is watching you die.

[Long sigh] It's always killing with you.

You seem to think I exist for a reason besides that.

Of course! No one was born to kill.

Demons and monsters are.

Not true! Everyone's ticket is blank at birth. So no one is born to kill.

Yes, they are.

Sorry, but I disagree!

Love and peace~

Exactly! You got it! Love! And! Peace!

I'm afraid that would have been far more inspirational had the levels of your intoxication not been pouring out the speakers. [Laughing, regardless.]

[Yeah this requires a LOUD VOICE to respond to.] But there is never a wrong time to spread the ideas of love and peace! Intoxicated or not! And if I shout loudly more people will hear it!

[Can't be heard, but he's definitely sighing and shaking his head.] Few people would be inclined to listen to a drunkard, you know.

Hm. I'll have to make another post later then!

Why the hell would I want peace?!

[...nonetheless, he sounds pretty drunk himself.]

Because everyone should strive for love and peace in their lives!

I'd be out of a job if everyone did that.

...huh? [Oh god... he doesn't like the sound of that.]

Besides, love is stupid anyway.

No it isn't!

Yes it is! It's all mushy and ridiculous!

What's wrong with that! It's fun and brings people joy!

It's complicated and makes people all soft.

I disagree! It makes people stronger.

...It's still complicated and messy.

Makes life fun and interesting~!

Interesting, maybe. Enough for my daughter to want to spy on couples every year. But fun? Pffft.

It can be if you let it~!

Why would I want to let it be?

Who doesn't want to have fun?

It's not my idea of fun.

I think it could be if you let it!

But it's not supposed to be that way with me!

Why not! One shouldn't limit themselves to only certain fun things! Then you miss out!

Because if I start finding it fun, then most of the other things I find fun will stop being fun because of this stupid feelings shit!

I'm almost afraid to ask... what other things do you find fun?

Fighting. And my job, sorta.

Fighting only brings pain - how is that fun?

'Cause it's what I do and why I exist. The rush, the thrill, the guts, the challenge of a worthy opponent -- all of that. That's what I like.

...And 'course, sometimes humans just keep surprising me with how creative they can be.

The... guts? [He's really hoping you don't mean literal.]

'S not easy to face the very likely possibility that you could die at any moment if you lower your guard.

Then wouldn't be best to avoid fighting if you can?

It's not like I'm that easy to kill. And it's in situations like that that some humans surprise and amaze me.

No one has the right to take the life of another.

Try telling that to humanity at large. But I suppose it works both ways.

I'm working on getting them to understand that.

[There's a pause for a moment. It's...not possible and shouldn't really affect him, not as far as he's concerned, but at the same the idea makes him somewhat uncomfortable.]

Good luck with that. What with it being human nature and all.

I disagree! When people are born they aren't born capable of stealing or harming. They weren't born for that. One day there will be peace and people can live out their lives in happiness without threat of war or violence.

It's still human nature. As much as they've got a right to not kill, they've got the right to kill too. If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't even exist.

No one has the right to kill. Just because they can does not make it right.

...and why wouldn't you exist if people didn't kill?

Well, to be more specific, if people stopped going to war with each other. Then I'll have no believers, and when that happens I'll stop existing or go through another stupid identity crisis again. That sound pleasant?

No, an identity crisis doesn’t sound pleasant - but perhaps once it’s over it would be better to have an identity that didn’t require people killing each other.

I've already been through it once. Not the sort of experience I'd want to repeat.

If you went through it once - why did you go back?

I never went back. I just got better. Or worse, depending how you look at it.

I see...

Besides, it's not like I could just give up being War, even if I really wanted to.

You're... war?

With a capital double-u.

Oookay. [Sorry if he has trouble believing that.]

Pfft, you're the second person here not to believe me immediately. 'S somewhat refreshing. Would it be easier for you if I just said I'm a god?

Ahh. I see now.

Yeah. So it's nothing easy.

Can't you I dunno - promote peace and be a War God?

I'll probably make things worse, intentionally or not.

Hmm... must not be easy to be War.

Ah! So there's someone else who understands!

Ah! Another hunter of peace then?

I wouldn't call myself a hunter. Just a man who was given a mission by God to teach the world the power of love!

A preacher man, huh? How do you feel about that Thou Shall Not Kill commandment? [Don’t mind him, he’s feeling nostalgic.]

I believe that when a good man have achieved everything they wanted from life, they shall pass on in the manner of their own choice. And while I'm not the kind to preach violence, I'm also not the one to discourage young men from taking risks to protect what they care about.

Ah-ha... I see. [You preachers and your loop holes.] Still... I think it's one of my favorite commandments though.

One day, soon enough, the world shall transform into something where everyone can follow that commandment. But until then, all I can do is make sure it's heading in that direction.

[Grins] That sounds good.

[She lets out three separate hums to indicate 'Love and Peace'!]

[Hums back to you happily] I like it! Spreading love and peace through song!

[You agree with her methods then? Good! Razette continues to hum cheerfully, repeating the pattern of tunes for Love and Peace.]

[Tries to hum along, but ends up with a mixed hum-talk by throwing the words in now and then.]

[drunken sing-song:]

Love and peace~!

That really would be nice.

It will be! Don't worry! Some day everyone will be able to live their lives in peace and happiness with no threat of war or violence! [Hi. My name is Mr. Very Optimistic!]

One day. We'll all work together for it! [/also on the optimistic side :|b]

[What? No eye rolls? No calling him childish or foolish? Vash's eyes begin to water] Yes! Let's work hard for love and peace!

Oh, Vash! Is something wrong? [THAT CONFUSES HER VASH]

[Sniff] I'm just so happy! [Sob] That so many are willing to spread love and peace! [Yes, he's crying]

[Toph is just stuck in 'what is this madness?' as a general reaction]

[Sorry, Vash is too busy shouting about love and peace to notice the quiet people.]

[Chuckles.]

Wow, someone's had far more of that wine than I did. I like the message, though!

Wine has nothing to do with it! As a hunter of peace it is my duty to spread the message of love and peace at all times!

...

Maybe there was something weird in that drink...

Why do you say that! Love and peace is important to spread!

Well, yes, but you don't normally shout it over the journals.

But more people will hear if I'm loud!

That's true.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

[Just gonna laugh nervously. You're creepy when you're drunk Vash.]

[But it's a happy laugh!]

[Not when it's that loud..]

[And he suddenly cuts off.] You like love and peace don't you~?

Yes...of course. [Hear the confusion??]

Perfect! Then say it with me! Love! And! Peace!

Love and peace! [Nt as loud or enthueastic as Vash, but it's there ]

That's the spirit! LOVE! AND! PEACE!

Love and peace!! [Sorry Vash, but you won't get much more out of her at the moment!]

[He's happy with that!] Perfect! Now we must spread that message to all we know!

Alright, I'll try! [~~Not to look like a looney~~ Go tell just a few people at least..]

Great!

Vash? Can you talk now?

Y-yeah. I can. Can we meet somewhere?

[OOC: Say it's a few hours/next day after his little swim? XD He's changed and such.]

Edited 2010-02-26 00:44 (UTC)

...Out by the lake? There shouldn't be that many people there.

Alright, I'll meet you there.

[OOC: I'm good with winging it - but if there is something you'd like to see happen feel free to poke me on AOL!]

[He walks up staring at the ground. He still isn't sure excatly what to say - for some reason this seemed so much easier with Meryl.]

Hey. Sit down.

[He puts a smile on his face and sits down.] Have you been well?

I've been all right. How are you?

Pretty good! [Sneezes. Okay - he might be getting sick.]

I'm glad to hear it. What do you need to tell me, Vash?

[He quiet for a bit, he doesn't like to talk about himself or his past. He'd rather that no one really knew, but for some reason he feels like he can trust you. So what if he only just met you - his heart tells him that it doesn't matter, if you won't accept him then - well he's not sure yet.] You- there is something you should know about me. The people that get close to me [Pause] they can never be safe. At least... not yet.

I... I trust you.

[OOC: It's all good! My email has been weird too]

[He swallows] Lilynette, I'm not human.

What are you, then?

I'm a plant. I've lived over a hundred and thirty years.

A plant... from your world. Are there a lot like you? And a hundred and thirty... I... I don't... I don't remember how long I've lived.

There are a number of plants on my world, but there is only one other like me. My brother Knives.

[He finally looks straight at you. You can't remember how long you've lived? Luceti is a strange place indeed and he actually relaxes just slightly. He had a feeling you weren't quite normal, but being the only non-human in his world he couldn't place his finger on it right away.] Then, what are you?

If he's the only other one, you must miss him a lot, then.

I'm an Arrancar, which is a Hollow that removed its mask. Hollows are souls that refused to go to Soul Society when they died.

Soul Society? [And yes, totally ignoring that comment about his brother for a reason.]

Edited 2010-02-26 05:49 (UTC)

[So she's a hollow that removed her mask. A hollow is a spirit who refused to go to the Soul Society. So that means you're dead.]

Why didn't you want to go?

I don't know. I'm... It's... complicated.

[Gives you a kind smile.] That's alright then. [He won't press the issue. Instead he goes quiet trying to picture this Soul Society.]

[He puts a hand on your shoulder in what he hopes is a comforting gesture.] Well, it doesn't matter to me what you are; as long as you're a good person. [Smiles happily at you – so far he thinks you are.]

That's... a nice view.

[Smiles - this wasn't so bad!]

[All that can be heard from Kefka is the sound of birds chirping before an annoyed growl, a popping noise, and then nothing. Way to go Vash. You made Kefka asplode birdies.]

[Huh. That was a weird noise, wonder what that was? Hm. Hopefully not important! Continues with his happy fun times!]
