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.]

[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!

[goldenglasses]

[Oh wonderful! Beautiful! Wise Fair Maiden! He knew YOU’D be the voice of reason! He looks at you in DEEP adoration and gratitude.] And just Vash is fine-GAH! [And just when he was getting to like Brook. Naw - he still likes him but STOP THE ENCOU-oh no… well. If you can’t beat them…] Allllllllllllllllllriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! I’ll do it!

Oh hey Captain! I didn’t know you lived here too! [GAH! How many men does the Fair Maiden have LIVING with her!]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[The Fair Maiden is clearly the floozy of Luceti. Or not. Nami will raise an eyebrow at Usopp.]

Luffy took it upon himself to redecorate ... Captain Usopp-sama.

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[If Sanji and Franky were here, she'd be like Snow White and the Seven Idiots]

Wonderful, a demonstration! Usopp-san, you're just in time! Aren't you a marksman as well? [Claps hands] Perhaps there could be a contest!

1/2

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

How come everyone was calling Usopp captain all of a sudden...?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

GOOD IDEA BROOKE!

This is gonna be so awesome!

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[Can anyone else hear the sound of a man's brain breaking? The elephant through the wall has him quite thrown for a loop. Everything else is just icing on a cake of horrendous doom. Some kind of contest with apples? When did he tell that Vash guy he was a captain, he just helped him build some- oh. right. And, well, he was used to the raised eyebrow of unamused-ness.

Would he even be able to patch that wall up?

Ever quick-witted and intelligent, ever resourceful, Usopp's next question is thus.]

...what's a mayfly?

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

It's the elusive thing known as love! [Well, that's what Vash called it. Chopper thought a mayfly was a kind of insect, but he wasn't the one that could shoot apples off of peoples' heads, 'kay?]

[goldenglasses]

[Huh… Nami seemed upset over his nickname for Usopp but why… AHHH! Pirate crews tend to have captains!! And if Nami’s this upset… then that must mean…] No, no! I’m sorry! He’s my snowman building Captain!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, well. Didn't I tell you? The man can build entire snowman families.

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[At some point Brook's left for the kitchen. They have apples, don't they?] Luffy-san! Where do you keep the fruit?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Fruit? [The only thing he really cares about is the meat really]

[He's going to shrug] I don't know.
