[Action]

[Vash can be found sitting on a bench in the plaza, his glasses on and a very grim look upon his face as he looks the place over. He’s thinking back to the incident with Kefka. A man died and he hadn’t been able to stop it. There must have been a way. What had he missed? He’ll be sitting there for a while, teeth clenching as he tries to figure out what he did wrong. Meryl is welcome to pick up/comment on the sober mood he’s probably been in the past day or so.]

Cannot express how much I love that icon

...I don't think more violence is going to solve the problem Luffy.

/thumbs up

Yes it will. I'll just keep kicking his ass until he can't hurt my nakama anymore.

[In other words he's planning to keep killing him]

[goldenglasses]

There has to be another way to stop him. Violence doesn't solve problems. It creates them.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

You know a way to stop him then?

[goldenglasses]

...not yet.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Then I'll have to beat him again.

[goldenglasses]

[Sighs. Vash doesn't like where this is going; but for now he'll try to steer it in another.] If I could find a way... would you still have to 'beat him'?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

I won't kick his ass if you find a way for him not to hurt my nakama or anyone else.

[But there is no way. The only way to stop him is with violence. However he has a feeling if he tries to go after Kefka Vash will try to stop him, and he doesn't need him in the way. So once Vash loses the bet, he'll just have to accept that Luffy has to kill him! YUP!]

[goldenglasses]

I'll think of something.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Okay! I get to kick his ass if you don't though!

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is quiet for a good long time before he speaks very softly.] I'm sorry Luffy... but I cannot sit by and let someone die.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

I won't let him hurt my nakama...

[goldenglasses]

And... I won't let him hurt them either.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

You want to stop him, you don't want to kill him, you won't let me kill him, and you're not gonna let him hurt anyone.

You an idiot? These guys are dangerous, you can't just play around like that.

*uses this icon just for you*

[goldenglasses]

I'm not playing around. But there is always a way to save everyone. Without killing.

/squeee

[Standing up now. This is useless.]

When Kefka comes back. I'm going after him.

[goldenglasses]

Violence... only leads to more violence.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Then think of something else.

[goldenglasses]

I'm trying!!
