[If you happen to be walking in the forest this afternoon, you may notice something strange. There is a man lying in the snow who apparently thought it would be a good place for a nap. And napping is just what he’s doing at the moment. Thinking that maybe the past couple months have only been a dream - that is, until he starts to wake and notices two important things. He’s cold and wet. Gunsmoke is neither cold or wet so then - it was real? His eyes finally snap open and he bolts upright. He’s breathing heavily as he waves a hand in front of his face before something else hits him.] Meryl! [Snatching the journal at his side Vash will be opening it and nearly shouting into it.]

Meryl! [He quickly softens his voice and puts a soft smile on his face. He’s really back - no need to worry people so much by freaking out.] Uh - everyone. I’m back. I’m sorry if I worried you, but I’ll be home soon.

[He makes good on this by standing as soon as the post is done and making his way back home. He’s stumbling a bit as he makes his way back to community building 4 but otherwise looks fine.]

(ooc: May be slow tagging back. Going to bed soon. I WAS going to post this tomorrow but a few people wouldn't stop complaining. So. I decided to post and not tell them. HA! Revenge! I think?)

It's good to see you too Brook.

Are you all right?

Yes; I'm fine. [A pause then a bit of meek laughter.] How have you been?

[Oh, he and the crew have been fine, Vash. You know - just a healthy helping of emo] Considerably better, now that you're back!

Have you seen Meryl-san yet?

Not yet; but I'm headed home. So I'll see her soon. How... how has she been?

[He didn't talk to her himself - Sanji said he would handle it. But he was in the house when she was told]

That's good - it will probably do her well to see you. She was... very upset.

Ooh... [Not that he's surprised. He just doesn't know what to say.]

You're back now, though, so I expect you will fix that.

Y-yes. I'd better get home right away.

That's a very good idea, Vash-san.

[...] Do come see us sometime after, though. Or tomorrow, even. You never got the chance to last week, and we've missed you too.

I will. [Sorry for the short answers Brook. Someone is a little stressed and wanting to go home. His happy facade is starting to crack a little thinking of Meryl.]

[He doesn't mind - he's hoping that you're off to see her, anyways, even if he doesn't know that's why you're being brief.]

Very good! I look forward to it.

M-me too Brook. I'll see you in a day or two. [That crack in his voice? Yeah. It wasn't really there. IT WAS YOUR IMAGINATION!]

[Voice] Blame your crew. They FORCED me.

[Voice] I DID. Ah well, I probably would've helped if I had been at home too XD
