[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?)

[Vash won't receive notice of Luka's existence until much later, when it's night and late. Unlike, apparently, some of the others, she has never doubted of his return and felt no need to mope or cry. She just missed his presence around and took charge of destroying the snowmen of Vash, Meryl and herself that had stood in front of where Vash lived until he died. Making sure their presence wouldn't hurt Meryl, even if maybe their absence wouldn't ease the pain anyway.

So, when Vash talks through the journals, Luka merely takes notice of it and continues with her live, letting others bury him in tears and surprise and happiness. And she will wait until it's late to let him catch up to Meryl and settle down again. Maybe, by the time Luka's voice filters through the journals, Vash will be asleep and won't hear, still she will try, in a very soft voice, just in case he's asleep.]

The other night... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_vG1NBBTVc)

[Yeah. Vash is totally not going to be sleeping well the next couple nights. He’s WIDE awake when he hears the singing. He waits until the song is finished.] That’s a pretty song Luka.

Welcome back, home, Vash.

[She sounds as if he had been gone for just a little shopping. Then again, knowing that he would return she takes it kinda like that.]

Thanks Luka. Have you been well?

Relatively well. You have been missed, but I was well.

Are you feeling well?

[Small chuckle] Well, I've been better... but I'm fine.

That's good. Missing something?

Just my gun... but I haven't check to see if it showed up at the shop yet.

Only the gun?

[Sounds as if she expected something more.]

[Sorry Luka. He's not the type to talk openly about his weaknesses. More so about new ones.] Pretty sure that's all I'm missing.

[She mostly wanted to confirm the data about people losing something upon returning. She doesn't really believe him, but won't insist much.]

Good, I'm glad that part of the data is wrong. Though some will find it unfortunate.

Are you with Miss Meryl?

Mhm. Yes. We're both home. I think she's asleep right now though.

She may need it, I doubt she has been able to rest well this past week. You better take extra good care of her, Vash.

[And don't let yourself be killed again that easily.]

[He's quiet for a bit thinking about how Meryl must have felt this past week.] I will.

I know you will, you're a good boy.

[Smiles.]

I'm sorry for the snowmen...

Oh - don’t worry about them. They probably got knocked over and buried in the blizzard.

No, I did it.

You did? Oh. [Doesn't sound mad or upset. They were just snowmen, just a bit curious.]

I thought that having a Vash snowman stare at her every time she went out during this week could be hard for Miss Meryl, and she had enough of that. I also didn't want to keep looking at it myself as it made it easy for emotions to override logic facts.

Ah… I see. That’s alright. Don’t worry about it. [Gives you a smile] Just means we need to make new ones!

That's what I wanted to do. New ones. While there's still snow for it.

How about in the next day or two?

Whenever is fine with you, just call me and I'll be there. It was about time we changed the scene again, anyway, don't you think?

Good idea! Hm. Maybe they could be playing some sort of game this time.

Didn't we already set them to have a snowball fight?
