[Vash can be found today fairly deep in the woods. He went out that far in order to not be disturbed, but like that really matters in a place like Luceti. He’s rigged up a target on a rope that he’s run through several of the branches so that he can stand at the far end and yank on the rope and have the target swing down.

He stands with his left hand holding the rope; body relaxed. Then he pulls hard on it, drawing his gun from its holster and fires four rapid shots at the swinging target. He stands and watches the target sway back and forth for a minute. He doesn’t look very pleased before walking over to it and getting a closer look.

All four shots hit the target, each fairly close to the center. The closest is a thumb's length away, but he still doesn't look very happy.] Damn… it’s not good enough.

[Hisoka's been using the woods for similar reasons, especially since the latest New Feather cycle has left the village particularly noisy. He's within earshot when the target practice commences and, naturally assuming someone else is getting killed given the slant Luceti's taken lately, rushes toward the sound, a hand hovering over the concealed gun at his side. It's almost disappointing when he's close enough to tell that it's just a marksman nitpicking his work.]

He would've been dead enough. What's the difference?

[goldenglasses]

[He jumps slightly, having not expected company.] No! That’s what’s wrong! Just that little bit… if I’m off even just that much it could do some real damage to someone! No one has the right to kill another!

[His eyes shift from Vash's face to the gun and back again, raising an eyebrow quizzically.] That's a weird way to be a pacifist.

[goldenglasses]

[Sighs and re-holsters his gun.] It was a gift and I decided it should be used to help those who are suffering.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Was?

[goldenglasses]

Huh? OH! Oh... no. Nothing like that he's still... around.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

No, you said it was a gift. So it's a gift you don't have anymore, is what you meant.

[Vash, Luffy is also gonna be there. Since he trains to become a wolf lion and stuff. And he's really excited about what you did]

I knew you were really good with guns! How'd you do that!?

[goldenglasses]

Uh. The gun was... is the gift I mean.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

In that case, you're being terribly ungrateful to whoever gave it to you, if you're not satisfied with that.

[goldenglasses]

[What!? Luffy!? Crap… now he’ll never hear the end of it.] I uh… got lucky!

[goldenglasses]

No! It's a good gun, a very good gun! [Of course the fact that he's protecting people with it isn't making the man who gave it to him very happy.]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

What? But you said that wasn't good enough...

[goldenglasses]

Yeah it wasn't I was uh... aiming for... uh... the tree behind it! [Oh god; dumbest lie ever.]

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

So what's the problem?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

[Nods]

Ah, I see...

[And then guess what Vash! He quickly sends a stretched fist at you!]

[goldenglasses]

[He… bought it? Oh good he boug-AHHHH! Fist! Bending over nearly backwards to avoid that and ends up falling over onto his back.] GAHHHHHHHH! What was THAT!?

[goldenglasses]

N-nothing I guess? Just that it is possible to not kill and use a gun.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

You're never gonna beat those guys if you're that far off! If you want to save everyone, you have to get stronger.

I'm the only person you can shoot without hurting, so I'm gonna spar you until you get better. [See how this just backfired on you?]

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

No it isn't.

[earthrumblegod.livejournal.com]

[Toph's hanging around too, and is shocked by the sound. She senses it's Vash- who she didn't now had come bac to the world of the living yet. She's rushing up to greet you.] Vash! You're back!

[goldenglasses]

Toph! [Smiles, even if you can't see it you should be able to hear it in his voice!] Good to see you again!

[goldenglasses]

I disagree! I've been doing it for a long time.

[goldenglasses]

[Oh god yes he does. More lies.] But I'm uh... out of bullets!! [Depending on how much and how closely Luffy paid attention to his fight with Yuber, he may now know Vash has a gun hidden in on him as well as two rounds still in his handgun. Not to mention what kind of gunman only carries enough ammo for one round?]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Shishishi! Then I guess you're gonna get your ass kicked.

[Yes he's kinda banking on the fact that you got more than just that. INCOMING STRETCHED FISTS]
