Sounds like a good idea, I'll join you.

[Some time later, having tried to time it for when Vash comes back, Luka can be found sitting among the snowmen scene.]

[Vash walks up not much later waving wildly] Hey Luka!!

Hello, how's your cold today, Vash?

[Oh yeah, first gotta be sure he's healed and fine or there won't be snow games.]

I'm doing fine! I'm feeling MUCH better! [He still has a sniffle or two now and then but those things tend to last awhile so he's fine.]

[She will be watching you like a hawk though, don't think she won't.]

Good to know. I wouldn't want you playing with snow while still sick, that would do little for your recovery.

I don’t want to get sick myself! But I’m honestly feel much better!

So what shall our snowmen be doing today?

Uhm...

[Thinks a bit.]

How about let them have a snowball fight? We can even build a snow wall in front of one ot them as if they are hiding there to avoid being hit.

Genius! [Gets to work!]

I already told you that was Yuber, Vash.

I bet you were too busy dying at the time to notice.

I know Nami. But long blonde hair isn't that much to go on... so I thought I'd leave the name out for now. In case it wasn't him. I don't want people to see the name and assume things. I'm sorry.

I suppose. Hey, it could've been Noel. [snort.]

Well, let's try narrowing it down some. Wears a lot of black and a hat? Likes to rant a lot?

Hm. He did wear all black and had a hat. I dunno if you call what he said ranting.

Well, what did he say?

Hm. [A pause as he thinks] Well, that he was looking for some entertainment pretty much. Then he - uh well... chanted some magic stuff. Does that count?

Don't know about the magic stuff, but the entertainment stuff sounds about right. Yuber.

Don't know much about him otherwise, though. He likes throwing rocks in snowball fights?

That... doesn't sound fair.

[But while they're on the topic] What about Kefka? How much do you know about him?

It's not. That could have hurt a girl really badly.

And Kefka? I know some, but you'd be better off talking to his enemies here. ...think you've spoken to a few already, haven't you?

Possibly. I know I talked to a lot of people who seem to dislike him. [And it's awkward to go up to someone you hardly know and go: Hey!!! How about that crazy ass clown guy?]

...well. What do you want to know?

[He's quiet for a long while] Well... I'm not sure. How dangerous is he? Is there something specail I should watch out for if I run into him?

Edited 2009-12-11 02:10 (UTC)

[Yeah well, have an equal pause. Not because she's hesitant to inform her friends about Kefka, but because she has an idea where this conversation might go. Ffff.]

Okay, let's see. [Consulting her own notes on the topic. Which are more or less the notes of every non-filtered complaint about Kefka on Cloud's black list, but hey.]

He can pretend he's someone else, and ...apparently magic isn't so good to use against him, but that doesn't really matter for people like you or me, I guess. Hit him and he'll go down just fine. The problem is finding him - he's too smart to come down where people can get at him. You already know what he looks like.

I told you already he killed someone, didn't I?

[Nope... people neglected to tell him that bit.] He... he killed someone? [You like kicked puppies right Nami? Because Vash is sure doing his best impression of one.]

[...nobody had told him that one, huh. Saying "It's okay, she got better!" is really not going to help.]

Afraid so. Tried to blame someone else for it, too.

Unfortunately, that's the sort of thing he does.

[Is Vash... angry?] No one has the right to kill another!

[...so Vash does have an edge. She'd wondered, but seeing it still makes her wince.]

I know that, Vash.

[Give him a minute. He knows you know; but killing is something that gets him rilied up. After a few moments he'll finally speak after a soft sigh and that tone in his voice is gone.] But... that is something important to keep in mind. Thank you Nami.

...it's okay.

[A little quieter, now.] But yes. He's really bad news where he comes from. I would recommend talking to either Edgar or Terra for more of it - Terra is the woman he killed. But he's definitely up to something here in Luceti. I just don't know whether it's aimed at his own enemies or all of us.

So just ... be careful. Especially if he talks to you. It means trouble.

I-I read in the guide that people come back when they die here. So... it's true?

It is. It's not a healthy process, by most counts, but I haven't really seen the results of that either way.

I'm glad she's alright then... but still... Kefka can't be allowed to do that.

[No. No, he can't.]

...unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done. He hides, and even if people find him, what can they do to him here?

True... it's hard to know what to do with those people. Hard to talk to... and make them understand that human lives are important. All life is; but we can't give up on them either.

[That goes a bit further than Nami believes. There are some people she's really not sorry are dead, and if she's in a fight for her life - more importantly, for someone else's life - she's not going to pull her strikes for the sake of nicety.

That being said, she has no heart for killing at all. And it's ... a nice theory, Vash. It really is.]

Yeah, I understand that.

[His goal in life is to create a world without violence and where everyone gets along after all!]

But you said... he was reading every entry you made... why?

[fffff yeah, she knew that was coming.]

Well, I do have a sexy voice. [Most of them are voiced |D]

[He laughs for a good while. Yes he needed that!]

Hey, are you saying my voice isn't sexy? [Totally being srs. Totally.]

[Grins] Of course not fair maiden! I just should have known that's the reason!

You know it.

Edited 2009-12-11 03:55 (UTC)

But... there must be another reason too. [It was a good try! But someone who's killed is stalking his friend!]

[Damn.]

...It's nothing to worry about.

There's a mad man stalking you... and there's nothing to worry about?

[Slow exhale of breath.]

My crew knows there's a problem. They're watching out for me, Vash. It's okay.

What you do? Insult his make-up?

Not a damn thing, actually. [Except steal his amusement park tokens, but shhhh]

...hmm. I made friends with someone who picked a fight with Kefka. Puts me in the firing line. That's all.

I see... why'd he pick a fight with a clown?

Because he doesn't know how to pick his fights. Kind of a jerk, really.

It doesn't matter.

Edited 2009-12-11 04:25 (UTC)

[Hm. While Vash would like to know about this fool who doesn't know how to pick fights incase Kefka tries something; but obviously Nami doesn't want to talk about it and he's pressed her enough as it is.] Well... his make-up was really bad.

[FFFFF LOL]

Not a very funny clown if you ask me.

Oh, I don't know. I find him laughable.

[AHAHA, bravado. Tis a wonderful thing. |D]

[Grins] Maybe he'll attack us with... BALLOON ANIMALS!

Edited 2009-12-12 03:21 (UTC)

[Vash, we love you for making Kefka look ridiculous.] Oh no! Well, it could be worse. He could bring out the custard pie gun.

Or… a whoopee cushion! [Terrified gasp may not sound as terrified as it should]

Heaven forbid!

Oh hey!! Do you know anything about Christmas?

Edited 2009-12-12 04:09 (UTC)

Not a thing. I think there's gifts involved.

Yeah! I was talking to a guy about it and it just sounds like so much fun!!!

[They got a little messed up with snow being piled up on them a bit. But you can probably tell at least one is suppose to look like him. What with all the sticks sticking out of the snowman's head. Currently too busy patting extra snow to the people to notice you yet! Feel free to stare like a creeper a bit more or get his attention!]

How long have you been working on these?

[He jumps a bit not expecting anyone but quickly recovers and smiles] Well, I actually made them awhile ago and they took all day. But I've been taking care of them now and then! So... a couple weeks? [He laughs merrily!]

Really? And they haven't melted?

That's pretty cool.

Well, a little bit. They've taken some damage... but! I check them often to make sure they're doing alright! [It's his first real snowmen! He's going to be sad when it melts.]

I haven't made one since I was little. There was never enough most times...

[He grins] Well, these were my first attempts at snowmen and a friend helped. But... [He peers around at all the snow] There's a lot of snow and I'm sure they could use more friends!

Oh my...! That's so CUTE! I love it!

Hm. I think it needs to be shorter.

For accuracy's sake.

Accuracy huh? [He'll lend a hand]

Yeah, the guy's sort of a midget. That should do it.

Perfect! [Because... you know he TOTALLY knows what Ed looks like]

Edited 2009-12-11 02:07 (UTC)

That was fun! Thanks for letting me build with you, Mister...?

No problem! It was a lot of fun! My name's Vash! Vash the Stampede~!

Nice to meet you, I'm Winry Rockbell.

A real pleasure! You have great snowmaking skill! [Obviously as this is his second attempt he's an expert at these things]

Why thank you! If I weren't already a mechanic, I'd just think about going pro.

You're a mechanic?

Yep! I specialize in prosthesis though.

Prosthesis?! Really? Are you any good? [Making mental note now... check this girl out if something happens your fake arm]

I'd like to think so! It's a family business after all.

Wow. That's some really something. That stuff is really complicated isn't it?

It's intricate, yes, but the Rockbell family prides themselves on their quality of automail.

Hmm... automail... [Testing the word out. He likes it.] Well! I'm impressed to have made such a smart friend!

Oh, you're too kind. Thank you.

Awesome snowman making powers and smart? You don't think nearly high enough of yourself! [He grins] And what is this snowman's name should someone ask?

Let's name him after his likeness. Edward Elric.

Hello Edward snowman! Nice to met you!

And who else is out here with him?

Oh! How rude of me! Edward snowman! This is Vash snowman and his friends Meryl and Luka snowma- [cough] I mean snowWOMEN!

You really know how to be entertaining, don't you?

I live to please!

Oh that guy? Yeah I'm gonna kick his ass when I find him.

Is Meryl okay? She looked really cold and I tried to give her my coat but she didn't want to take it.

Yeah! She's doing alright!

Oh! Hey! That guy used a lightening attack! Being rubber would that hurt you?

Nah, stuff like that won't do anything.

Ah, also, I heard you were "dating" Meryl. Have you two been having a lot of fun? You don't do any boring stuff right?

[This could be taken in SUCH a wrong way]

D-d-dating?! W-who told you that!? [PleasebeMeryl.PleasebeMeryl.PleasebeMeryl.]

Nami did. Anyway you should try the pizza place for a "date". You can put all the tables together and put pizza on them if no ones there.

[N-Nami said that? The one that seems the most sane said that? Why would she had said that!? Did Meryl say something to her? Did he give a vibe? WHAT?!!!] Uh... yeah... I guess? But we're not really dating...

[She's not sane. At all. You should see her when she's angry.]

What? How come?

Well... I mean we're friends. But dating... uh... um... just I dunno... if Meryl... um. We're just friends.

[Ah, so they're not "dating" friends. That's too bad...]

Well alright then.

[Vash sighs. Thankful to be past that mess.] What are you up to?

Looking for a house. We're gonna be moving soon.

Oh you are? [He thinks about all the people he met.] Well, I'll miss having you guys close by but yeah - you seemed to have needed more space.

I really liked that place, but we needed more room so...

I'm sure the new house you find will become a home too.

I've met the man once, but that's all. I'd like to investigate on him some more as soon as possible.

Hm. I'll keep you informed if I find anything more about him.

What do you want to know about him?

Well, he came at me and three of my friends when we were out searching for missing people in the desert and just attacked us. I was wondering how dangerous he is.

Extremely.

Oh man...

Do you know him then? Does he typically end his fights with teleporting? Or- [pause] some other way?

Yuber? I'm afraid he might kill people.

[Ah. So his name is Yuber]

...I guess; it's lucky he's in the desert then. Don't know many people who'd WANT to go out there.

He can teleport wherever he needs to.

Oh crap! He can do that.

Awwwwwww! Why is there crazy people everywhere I go!??!

...I've seen the man you described. He was nearby when the portal sent me into the lake. Nothing really came of it other than some mocking comments, but I had wondered about the eyes....

Edited 2009-12-11 03:32 (UTC)

So he didn't attack you? That's good...

No, but perhaps I just wasn't worth the effort, then. I'll avoid the desert, though.

At least there's not much out there. Just a bunch of sand and hot.

I think I came across that man when we were stranded in the desert.

Did he attack you? [Trying to figure out how crazy this guy is!]

Well, no, but he insulted me while all I could make were rappig noises.

This guy sounds like the real charmer.

[reading through your threads here...]

So is he dangerous?

From what I've been told I think he is. Although it seems like my group might have been the first he's physically attacked. Although I guess he wouldn't be pass killing people.

I see. Thank you for the information.

You're welcome - but I was just told he has attacked others too... I'm glad you were alright.

Likewise. I wasn't by myself, so I suppose I should be thankful that he didn't choose to attack.

Yeah - I'm glad you're all alright then.

Oh! My name is Vash by the way.

And I'm Peony. It's nice to talk to you.

You too! We should do it with a nicer topic sometime...

Definitely.

I've fought that pathetic fiend.

You did? Uh... how'd it go?

He was... a formidable challenge.

[...Why yes he DID get quite beaten up.]

So he attacked you too?

After I went through the portal and ended up in the desert.

Considering he came at us - can I assume he started it?

The fault was his. Yes.

That guy needs a new form of 'entertainment'

Indeed so. I owe him revenge for his actions, one day.

I should probably try to talk to him again sometime myself...

I don't think he'd listen to reason, but... Good luck.

Thanks; you too.

Did you kill him?

NO!

No one has the right to take a life.

Says who? I've taken plenty.

[He doesn't know if he should be angry or sad] Wh-why!? Why would you DO something like that!?

Part of the job, mostly.

I will kill that doctor and all of her little "pets" as well.

J-job!? What kinda job is THAT!?

Gun for hire, mercenary, whatever you'd want to call it.

There's no good reason to kill someone.

Really. Just let them live so they can go back to whoring out 12 year old girls?

No... no. But there is always another way.

Not where I'm from.

There's ALWAYS another way! You just didn't see it!

Christ, you're a broken record.

[He's quiet for a bit. How'd he manage this with Wolfwood... not that, THAT ended well.] People can change.

Edited 2009-12-13 13:33 (UTC)

I'm sure.

[Quiet]

People will always end up killing others. You can't save the world.

No. One day there will be a world without war. Where people can live out their lives in peaceful days.

That's an idiot's dream.

Even so. It's a good one and I will not stop until it is fulfilled.

That's your issue then.

I'll work hard at it.

I think it's a lost cause.

Nothing is a lost cause if you work hard at it and have good intentions.

The world doesn't work that way.

Well. One day.

I doubt it.

But not impossible!

Hope springs eternal, eh?

Of course! It's better than giving up!

I only said to be realistic.

And? You never know what's possible and real unless you try!

Hn.

[Smile!]

Don't expect me to do that.

Mmmhm. Maybe not right now...

Don't look at me like that!

Quit it!

Why? Is something wrong~?

You're creeping me out!

Muw ha ha! Smile and I'll s~top~!

No.

Oh... allllllllriiiight.

[leery] Just like that?

Yup! But don't worry I'll figure out a way to make you smile! [Because you were worried.]

Good luck.

Thanks!!! I'll do my best!

[pinged by 'desert' and 'attacked']

Oi. Were you with a skeleton at the time?

[Blinks at you] Yeah; I went with Brook. Do you know him?

I live with him.

Huh, I thought I met all of his roommates.

Well you missed one.

I arrived a few days ago.

Oh! So after I met everyone! Hello~!! My name's Vash!

It's Sanji.

So, Vash. Are you another honorary Straw Hat member I should know about?

Uh... not that I know of; but I am friends with everyone. I think? Use to?

Uh.. sure... why not?

Great! Come on outside when you're ready! [To be hit with a snowball]

Let me just get my jacket. [ Unsuspected bundling victim. ]

[Vash is waiting innocently outside holding a ball of snow behind his back. He'll probably pay for this later... but that was later!]

[ And out comes Meryl, wrapped up, nice and warm in winter clothes. ]

[At least he's nice enough not to aim for the face!] Hey... insurance girl! [It's a line drive straight for the chest!]

Edited 2009-12-13 01:36 (UTC)

[ She turns and yelps, trying to duck and failing as she gets smacked right in the chest with a snowball. ]

Wha-- HEY!

[He laughs evily and starts packing more snow!]

[ She growls and starts rolling a snowball in her hands, though she's not doing very well. ]

[Well he's not really use to snow either so it takes him a bit - but this one is thrown fairly lightly and aimed for the top of your head as you're scooping snow]

[ She nearly falls on her face ducking and gives up making hers any more sturdy, throwing it at him in retaliation, as hard as she can. ]

[Although being him he could probably easily dodge it… instead he just screams as it smacks him in the face.] This means war! [Gathering more snow now.]

If it's war you want... [ Okay, Trebek, she'll play your game. She starts scooping up snow. ]

[War it is! Tossing another snowball!]

[ And she's hit again! She chucks one right back, but she's not exactly aiming right now. ]

[he'll dodge that one in order to focus more on gathering up more snow!] HA-ha!

[ She rolls up another one as fast as she can and throws it. ]

[Wasn't expecting one so quickly. Smacks him on the side of his face and all he can do is squat there with a bunch of snow in his hands blinking. He's stunned!]

[ She's surprised a moment, too, before grinning. Okay, maybe this is fun. ]

GAHHHHHHHHH! That's cold!! [Gathering up snow faster now!!]

Don't complain! You started it! [ She's gathering up some more, herself. She's sloowly getting better. ]

[That doesn't stop him from complaining!] But I've been sick! [Tossing snowball!]

And so have I! [ BAP! She throws one back. ]

[He'll give out a playful scream as it sails past him ALMOST hitting him. And he retaliates with his own snowball!]

[ She turns at the wrong time and gets smacked right in the face. She flails her arms with a yelp, dropping her snowball, and falls on her butt. ]

[Uh... opps! He comes running over.] GAH! Oh man! Are you alright!?

[ She's just trying to get the snow off her face and out of her nose. ] Ah.. stings...

...how about we go inside? I'll make some tea or something... I'm sorry.

[ Meryl smirks a bit under her hands, scoops some snow up quickly, and dumps it into his spikes. ]

That's cheating! [Too stunned by evilness to think to retaliate right now]

[ She starts laughing happily. She didn't expect that to work. ]

[Okay! Shock over and she is alright! He's going to be grabbing for a handful of snow to DUMP ON YOUR HEAD!]

[ She yelps and flails, shaking her hair out. ]

Cold cold cold cold cold cold!

[He laughs] Victory is mine!

[ She refuses to give up! She dusts the snow from her hair right back at him. ]

[Need more amo! Grabbing some snow!]

[ This is nearly becoming a splash fight. She's just grabbing snow in her hands and tossing it at him. ]

[He will burry you women! Tossing snow on top of you! Rapidly.]

[ She's tossing it right back, but hers doesn't go as high, so maybe reaches about his shoulders. ]

Admit defeat! And maybe I'll go easy on you! [More snow!]

I won't surrender! [ MORE SNOW RIGHT BACK! ]

Come on Meryl! Say it with me and admit defeat! This world is made of... LOVE AND PEACE! [Crazy huge pile of snow coming at you now]

[ klsjfskldf buried. ]

I won't! No way, Mr. Vash!

[Sad sigh] Then I'm afraid I have no choice. [There is an evil glint in his eye oh yes there is!] I must destroy you!

[ She is staring in confusion. Ooooh no. ]

W-Wha--

[SNOW ATTACK!]

[ FLAAAIL. She screams and waves her arms. ]

Okay! Okay! I give!

[Victory laugh!]

This world is made of!!!!!!! [Yes he wants you to join in]

Love... and peace.

[Mad cackling] That's riiiight~! [He smiles playfully and offers you a hand to help you to your feet]

[ She takes his hand and pulls herself up, trying to shake the snow off of her. ]

[Grins] Warm drink?

[ She nods her head quickly. ]

Tea, hot chocolate... Oh! Or - I guess the bar has some good warm drinks too. [Laughs and rubs the back of his head] Of course! You'd know better than me!

If you want to go, we have some things... though hot chocolate sounds good right now, or coffee.

Hm. Well I haven't really made much hot chocolate but I think I could handle coffee!

You don't have to make it, if you don't want to.

Hm. That's true! I'm the winner! [Evil grin] Obviously the loser should make the drinks for the victor!

And here I thought you'd be chivalrous and say something like 'Oh, no, Meryl, I'll do it.' It might be safer if I make it, anyway. [ She laughs a little. ]

I was thinking about it… then your reminded me that cooking things like that is women’s work! [He laughs like a mad man… well until you hurt him for that comment.]

[ And for that, Vash gets a punch straight to the stomach. ]

HAHAHAHAHA-GAH! [Doubles over and falls into the snow. Twitch]

Make your own coffee. [ Stomping away now to go back inside. ]

[Pulls himself out of the snow] I was kidding...

Oh, were you?

[He’s literally sparkling] Of course! Women are delicate wonderful creatures who deserve to be doted upon!

Uh huh.

I mean it's not my fault women get upset over every little thing.

Maybe it's your fault for not knowing when to keep your big manly mouth shut.

HAHAHA! Yes! It is manly!

[ She rolls her eyes. Back to heading inside. ]

HAHAHAHAHAHA-H-huh? Hey! Wait for me! [Following like a puppy]

[ Nope, not waiting up. ]

So harsh... [Follows]

[ At least she's not annoyed enough to slam the door in his face? ]

[Yes! Or I'd be tempted to fill up my last icon space with the one I have of him running into a door! But he'll start the kettle like a good kicked puppy!]

[ She's... surprised he actually does go and start the water. She'll smile a little to herself as she's wriggling out of her outdoors clothes. ]

[Well, he was only playing around! So he'll help out and once the kettle is started he'll shrug out of his coat.]

[ She disappears for a few minutes to grab some towels. ]

[Once his winter clothing is off he'll start getting the mugs out]

[ She comes out with a towel around her shoulders and one in her hands. She'll wait until he puts the mugs down. ]

Lean down, Vash.

[Lean down? Uh. Okay! He does so.]

[ She takes the towel in her hands and drapes it over his head, proceeding to ruffle his hair, to get out snow and dry it a little. ]

[He's a bit surprised by that - but he likes it so he stays bent over as you do so.]

[ She hums a little as she keeps ruffling and drying his hair, before folding the towel back and feeling his head, nodding in approval. It's mostly dry. ]

Do I pass inspection? [Grin]

Yep! Nice and dry.

Geeze! If I didn't know better I'd swear you didn't want me to get sick again!

[ She pulls her towel over her hair and starts drying her own hair and smiles a little. ]

Maybe~.

[Opps! There's the kettle! He'll go back to work on that coffee!]

[ She sits at the table and continues drying her hair. ]

[After a bit he'll set a mug of coffee down in front of you] Enjoy!

[ She picks it up and drinks carefully from it. ] Hmm... You did a good job.

Oh geeze thanks. Thanks for the vote of confidence! [But is that a grin he sneaks in there as he takes a sip himself?]

You're welcome.

Heh; thanks!

[ She keeps the towel over her head and sips her coffee, feeling the warmth come back into her cheeks. ]

[And thus they have a nice night together after a burtal war!]

[ The calm after the storm. ]
