[Vash was not happy last night when the droids had snatched him up on his way home last night. At least he hadn't been gone for very long and they had only turned him human for awhile! Only, they turned him into a 133 year old man. At least dropped him off in the village this morning!

If only they had gotten him a walker too. Vash manages to shuffle his way to a bench near the fountain before his energy wears out and he opens up his journal.]

Heh, sorry if I worried anyone back home. I'm back now. So you can stop worrying Amelia-chaaaaan! Hahahaha! [If the Malnosso think they can put him down by making him old they got another thing coming. And yeah, he's not coming right out and saying who he is right now. That would ruin part of the fun!] Think one of you could come down and give me a hand getting home?

[Private to Winry]

Ah, and Winry, if you have a moment could you help me remove my prosthetic arm? It's Vash, the Malnosso decided to age me just a bit and it's a tad too heavy for me right now.

[End Private Message]

Oh! And Sanji! Do you think you could help out an old man and make a quick delivery? The bakery seems so far away now. These old knees just can't take it!

[And until someone comes to help him home, Vash will be relaxing in that bench enjoying the weather. He'll also take advantage of his old looks to make some cat calls at any pretty girl passing his way.]

[That annoying name shriek is familiar, but it takes him a minute anyway because really, as prepared as he is for the Malnosso's idiocy he's still not prepared for an old Vash. That's why he's slow and squinty when he finally replies.]

Needle noggin?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Ehh? What's that Sonny? I can't seem to hear you! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

Goddamn, you're just as annoying in old age, too. Imagine that.

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE

just. let this sink in, wolfie.]

Where the hell are you??

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Hey, there young whipper snapper! Be kind to your elders! HAHAHHAHAHA!

[Now he may have gone past the refusing to let the Malnosso get him down and is having too much fun now.]

I'm near the fountain. I may need a hand getting home though.

[Amelia knows Vash is gone--they'd figured it out when he never got home last night. It's got her distracted enough that she's not paying too much attention to the journal.

At least not until she hears her name with that horrible ending.]

VASH! [She grabs the journal and turns it on to reply, both annoyed that he'd broadcast that stupid nickname and relieved to hear from him so soon.]

[voice] 2/3

[thedicearecast]

[Except that doesn't sound like Vash at the same time that it does. And that's definitely an old man in the picture.

So Amelia's silent at first, just staring at the image.

[voice] 3/3

[thedicearecast]

[And when she does speak up, her voice is softer, marked with confusion and concern.]

...Vash? Is that you?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

[The old man laughs, clearly enjoying himself.] Well, I suppose you could say that it... it... well... it...

[Snore.]

[Seriously?]

VASH! WAKE UP.

[Cat calls huh? Well Alexei will be heading through the plaza area to get some groceries today. He is kinda running low on cat food. And just because he's stuck as a woman, doesn't stop him from going out. She was wearing a business looking outfit today.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Oh! Even better! Someone he thinks he doesn't know!] Hey there pretty, lady! The business type, eh?

[Action]

[onlyashell]

...? [She just glanced at the man as she passes him. Who was he...oh.]

Pardon? [...Who was this man?]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Wooooooooooo. Just sayin' there young pretty, you're looking pretty sharp! Hahahaha!

[Private]

[installing]

O-of course! I can do that.

Re: [Private]

[goldenglasses]

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm near the fountain right now. [A pause as he looks around, trying to figure out how the heck he's going to get anywhere today when he gets winded after only a few steps.]

It, ah... might take me awhile to get to the Smithy.

[Private]

[installing]

It's all right. I can bring my tools out to you. Give me just a few minutes, all right?

[Private]

[goldenglasses]

That would be great. Thank you. I'll just wait here for you. [And probably fall asleep too.]

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

[The mention of Sanji catches her attention, and the context surrounding it is enough for her to hazard a guess as to this person's identity.]

...Vash-san?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Vivi! Nice weather we're having today! Do you think you could persuade Sanji to start making deliveries for me? These old knees, you know.

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi worries her lower lip, unsure if he's really that frail or just trying to scam donut deliveries.]

Do you need help getting home?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Hm, mean Wolfwood or sexy Vivi.] I could use a hand, actually!

[voice]

[concasse]

[At first, Sanji doesn't even glance at the journal]

Get them yourself, shithead. I'm not your errand boy... [--Wait. Old man? Sanji, you don't know any of those. At least, none that look their age. He turns a sharp eye at the book and scrutinizes the contents]

... Vash?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Eh? Vash! No! I'm just some old man! You wouldn't deny a poor old man some donuts would you?

[voice]

[concasse]

If I don't know who this poor, shitty old man is, then yes I would. [Honestly, Vash, you think Sanji gives a damn about his elders?]

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

What a cruel man you are. You know, one day you're going to be my age and you'll hope for a little extra kindness too. So unkind to an old man towards the end of his days.
