Hey! Fair maiden! I got my coat back so I can return the one you let me borrow! Let me know when you’re home sometime so I can return it!

And Meryl I’m going exploring! Would you like me to pick anything up for you while I’m out?

[Vash can be found wandering around the village. Where exactly? Pretty much anywhere. His goal was the repair shop to look for his gun but it’s not that he’s lost… he just doesn’t know where he is. Feel free to bug him around town.

After his shopping he’ll be coming home and while putting things away someone notices his own letter. After reading it a couple times he’ll be looking for Meryl to ask her about a couple things.]

[Ditto. And since Vash didn't seem to hear the first time:] So you're a friend of Nami's?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is stiffly moving to sit down. Oooookay. Dead guy and talking animal. But they're friends of Nami's and Luffy is still here. Let's give this a shot!] Oh - um yes! I guess I am! She lent me this coat while I was waiting for a friend to find mine. [Holds up said coat!]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Annnd here comes Nami, sailing blissfully out of her room with an overly cheerful look. Temper averted for now.]

That coat's for Brook. I picked it up for him while I was down at the shops the other day.

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, I was wondering about that! Thank you for returning it!

[Pouring another cup for Nami now]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

[He came THIS close to asking what was wrong with her before. THIS CLOSE. But he decided against it since she seemed to be fine now. Man she had a lot of mood swings]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[See now, no. Chopper values his life more than that. At the moment he'll do his little doctor thang at the table while waiting.]

[goldenglasses]

[Pfffffffft! Of COURSE the coat had to belong to the skeleton.] I guess this is yours then. [He hands it over carefully - not quiet sure he realllllllllllllly wants to touch you Brook. You might have died of swine flu!]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Oh come on, it was a brand new coat. Nami picked it up only that day. She eyes Vash's nervousness with an amused smirk.]

It's okay, Vash. He's pretty nice for a dead guy. [And Vash not being a woman, she doesn't have to brace him for the inevitable panty request.]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Accepting the coat] Thank you - Vash-san, was it? Ah, here's your tea! [Taking another drink of his own]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

[Sipping some tea now. MMM that's some good tea]

Hey, this is pretty good, Brooke! [Not as good as meat but you know!]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[He added several spoons a little sugar to his, so it's nice and sweet!]

How long have you been here? [To Vash, because the guy looked a little pale for whatever reason and seemed like he could use some conversation.]

[goldenglasses]

[To his credit it wasn't wearing the coat that was freaking him out. It was having to hand it over to the skeleton and possibly have to touch him.]

No. My last name isn't San. It's just Vash. [He takes a sip of the tea - everyone else is drinking it. So it must be safe for humans and animals too.]

I've been here for... hm... four or five days now I think.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Vash is a friend of Meryl, Luffy. Thanks, Brook. [drinking tea.]

Vash, -san is just a way we address someone with a lot of politeness where we're from. Do you have a last name?

[Because the Straw Hats are totally not Japanese, but there are so many japanese elements to their speech and lifestyle that trying to remove them is painful >.>]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Luffy-san!

[Will nod after Nami's explanation] Yes, very similar to the way you might address someone as mister.

[That's probably the only Japanese thing about Brook, come to think of it XD]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Yeah I met him before, we were building snow man.

Did you know he's good with guns like I think Meryl is? He's gonna shoot an apple off my head from 100 meters back!

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

You can shoot from that far back!? [Not that it would really matter if he missed 'cause Luffy is rubber, but] AMAZING!

1/2 You guys are going to give him a heart attack I swear

[goldenglasses]

[In the midst of his: Omg am I really having a tea party with a dead guy and talking animal he’s happy to be given a question he has rehearsed!] I am simply known as Vash. Vash the Stampede! A hunter of peace! Chasing the elusive mayfly known as love! [This is said with dramatic arm movements until...]

[goldenglasses]

[WAIT what did Luffy just say? Nervous laughter now - yes let’s make sure the coat is still fully over the gun we’ve picked up today shall we?] Now wait! I didn’t agree to that just yet! Remember! I’d probably miss! Hahahahaaaa!

[GAHHHHHH! Now the deer is going on about it too!] No… wait… I… but Luffy… …oh man.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Vash the Stampede? Chasing the - right, well, she'll leave that right alone. Instead, Nami takes a sip of her tea and grins.]

Vash isn't going to do any such thing, not if he doesn't want to.

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Ahh, why is there no pastries for this tea party?!]

Amazing, Vash-the-Stampede-san! [Wow, that's a mouthful. And leave it to Brook to be as bad as the rest of them] Ah, but Nami-san! That's so impressive! Why would he not want to do it?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

It'd be awesome if he did it! And he has a really awesome name so he must be able to do all kinds of cool things! HNNNN! I'm way too excited for him to not do it now!

[Gonna be beating the table lightly with his fist as he chants] Vash the Stampede, Vash the Stampede, Vash the Stampede!

[Can they ever have a normal.... anything? XD]

[And here enters Usopp with various grocery items to be made into ammunition. He, unlike poor Vash, is quite used to both talking reindeer and tea-drinking skeletons, so his attention first goes to Vash himself. Because new things are EXCITING, damn it.]

Oh, hey! It's yo-

[brb, staring at half of elephant statue]

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

What happened to the wall?

[And should he have bothered coming back?]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[HURR not listening to vague confusion. Too excited.]

Usopp! Vash is gonna shoot an apple off Luffy's head and chase mayflies!
