[Vash has been walking out in the woods more so than normal the past few days. Keeping his eyes open for a certain short insurance girl as he walks. Although he's disappointed once again in his search his eyes have noticed something else in the woods today. So amazing that he can't help but to talk out loud to himself.]

Huh, the trees are already starting to change color again? I guess that means it's almost time for fall again. Time sure does fly sometimes.

[Speaking of time flying, that reminds him of something. So he pulls his journal out of his pocket and makes a voice recording.]

[Voice // Filtered from Legato AND Milly 100% Unhackable]

Hey there everyone! I have a very important announcement today! It's Milly's birthday on the 24th so make sure to wish her a happy one then! Oh, and she likes pudding, so I'm sure she'd love it if you happen to stop by with some. [Poor Milly, her best friend is missing and her boyfriend is too young to really remember her for her birthday.] She could use some cheering up, so please try to remember.

[And to keep his thoughts from being too sad.]

And if you just so happen to bring some donuts by with you if you visit that would be great too!

[With that said Vash will wander the forest for a little while longer before he gives up the search for the day. He has a few places to go today. Like hitting Seventh Heaven for some lunch. From there he'll visit the flower shop and bakery before hitting the grocery shop to pick up groceries on his way home. Later that night when little kids should be in bed he'll make a stop to Good Spirits.]

And your a bratty little shrimp!

Better to be short than a dope.

Yeah, it's too bad you're both.

Says the guy who makes his hair look stupid.

It doesn't look stupid! It makes me look handsome!

A handsome broom, maybe. Better check your hair for dust n' hairballs.

I do not look like a broom!

Have you ever held a broom up next to you and asked people? Bet they'd agree with me.

No they won't!

Betcha' they would.

Would you knock it off! They would not! [Never taking that bet though.]

For a grown-up, you sure are emotional.

Hey! Who said just because I got tall I have to be a grown up!

That's just how it is. Everybody's gotta grow up sometime.

Yeah, but no one can tell you how you grow up. You have to find that out yourself. I decided to grow up and not forget what it's like to be young!

What's so great about what it's like to be young?

Being young sucks.

Well, then what's so bad about being an adult?

That most adults think they're so great, and hurt lots of people smaller than them.

Like kids.

[bitter? me? noooo]

Well, I'm not going to be that kind of adult. And you're not going to be either, right?

No. [He sounds pretty sure of himself, there.] I'd rather die than be some stupid bully, who hurts people for fun. I'd only hurt the people who deserve it.

But how will you know if they really deserve it?

That depends on what happens, doesn't it? I won't know how until I meet them and know what they did.... But I've met lots of people who deserved to die, before.

But you'd never have the full story. People may make the wrong choices now and then, but shouldn't they have a second chance?

I mean, if you saw a man robbing a bank, he has a gun, but he hasn't shot anyone yet.But what you'd never know is he has a sick kid at home and he doesn't have the money for the care his child needs to live. He shouldn't rob a bank, but should he die for that?

Can it, already. I know stuff happens like that.

Some people get second chances, and still do things people shouldn't be capable a'doing.

...

It's gonna be my job to make sure they know what a mistake that was.

[Did you like the coldness of his tone? Because it's not about to change.]

[Vash hears it and it hurts, because he knows that you're going to grow up with that voice no matter what he does.]

No one has the right to take the life of another. It is no one's job to kill.
