[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is bored so he’s made his way to the square and is by the fountain. He’s got a large blue ball with him that he’s bouncing aimlessly. Anyone up for a game? Anything? If not you may also be getting a snowball tossed at you. Not just anyone; just those he knows or people who also look bored. He doesn’t want to smack someone who’s just trying to get groceries home.

Towards the end of the day he’ll be stopping by the store to pick up some eggs. I hope you like eggs, Meryl, as they’re for breakfast… after he’s dropped them on the floor due to training with them. You like floor eggs, don’t you?]

[ His doom senses are tingling. ]

...evil overlord? [ fffff what's this? ]

What...happened to Vash?

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[His doctor senses are tingling. Which are more or less the same thing, actually.]

Did something happen?

[Hey… don’t you mock documentaries! You are playing with a film major! Focus? Docs]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash begins to groan. He's starting to come around, but not quite there yet because damn his head hurts.]

[I'll mock them all I like and you'll LIKE it]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, something happened. He'll be okay. Thanks, Brook.

And I think the Malnosso have decided to land us with another bad guy in the village, that's all.

[ Pft. ]

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[ Grump face is go. ]

Exactly what we need.

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Nodding to Nami] I suppose it's lucky that this was the worst that happened, then.

[Oh hey, groaning Vash. Expect to be poked in the shoulder repeatedly] Vash-san?

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[Okay, all to one side. Let the reindeer do his job.]

H-hey, Brook! Stop that!

1/2

[goldenglasses]

[There is something… poking him? But wasn’t he just in the square wi-OH SHIT! Sitting BOLT upright now with a worried gasp.]

2/2

[goldenglasses]

[But he can quickly see he is not in the square anymore and relaxes just slightly.] What happened? [Winces slightly. Why does his head hurt?]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

I hit you.

[goldenglasses]

[His mouth opens for the briefest of seconds then shuts it. He can pretty much figure out himself why. He is actually smarter than he tends to let on. Instead he opts to rub his head.] What happened with Aku and Yuber?

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Nami's always hitting peop-] Yuber was there?

[Clearly she had a good reason this time]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Yuber and this new guy. Giant demon thing. Avoid at all costs, I think. And ... [To Vash] I doubt they're killing each other. But now you're awake, I should tell you there's a complication.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

This place has too many demon things already.

[goldenglasses]

Complication? [He doesn't like that word.]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Demons are so scary... [Sob. Why does there have to be more?]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

...after things got sorted out without bloodshed, Stitch decided to pick a fight.

[There is much frustration in her voice. If Stitch had kept his mouth shut, there wouldn't have been a problem. Her solution had worked until the idiot had tried to help out. However, she's also worried. Not like Stitch is the only ...person...she knows who's done something so stupid before.

At least she knows Vash being conscious wouldn't have made any difference.]

He lost.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[ ;^; Brook, you understand. ] They are.

[ ...Stitch? Yuber? New-demon guy? Shit. ] Oi, Nami...what kind of 'lost' do you mean? [ There's beat-up lost, humiliated lost and- and a lost that's a lot less preferable to think about. ]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[Sharply, Chopper turns his attention away from Vash. There's a seriousness bordering all too close on fear as his mind opens up in flurries of panic and the clipped calmness of a doctor. Both emotions fight for control.]

Where is he?

[goldenglasses]

[He… lost? That could mean so many things. Vash goes just a little pale as he grabs Nami’s arm. His grip is tighter than he means it to be; on the borderline of being painful and there’s a slight tremor in his grip. He echos Chopper.] Where is he now?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[She's about to answer Chopper when that grip on her arm makes her flinch, and Nami makes a half-hearted attempt to pull away. She can't blame him, but still - just a little rough, Vash.]

He's alive! He just lost the fight. I don't know exactly where he is; Aku kicked him away west. [Considers.] Probably over by the edge of the village. People already went for him.

Stitch is really tough. He'll be okay. [...she hopes. She's seen Stitch smash his head into a wall over and over and damage the wall.

She's also worried about Miya. She has no idea how to bring that subject up.]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately Brook's never seen any of Stitch's displays of strength, and while he'd like to take your word on how tough he is, that's still pretty worrisome.]

As reassuring as it is that help arrived, that's not necessarily a good thing if those two were still in the area. They might need further assistance... and at the very least Stitch-san would probably benefit from having a doctor see to him, if he was injured badly.

GAWD.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[ Alive. Alive is good and manageable. And given their personal experience with those who could be called 'tough,' Nami never just throws that word around lightly. But Usopp does indeed agree with Brook. ]

Y-yeah, maybe we should make sure...

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[You don't need to tell Chopper twice. Already his backpack is on his shoulders, and he adjusts the straps.]

Who went to get him?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash’s grip loosens as you try to pull away as he realizes he’s grabbing too hard. He lets his hand drop away to instead make a fist at his side.] Is Yuber and [Pauses as he remembers the name] Aku still in the square?
