[Vash had been depressed the past few days. And with good reason. Coming back from the dead after spending some time as a zombie is sure to make anyone upset. Only he can't stay home and mope all the time. Time to try to get outside and try to cheer up at least a little.

He slides on some brown slacks and a dark blue sweater. The leather and his typical red coat just being too much work to put on for what he feels could be a quick run. He starts to try to get his hair to stand up in it's typical spiky-ness, but it's being stubborn. A messy hair day will just have to do.

His goal today is to stop by the bakery, pick up some donuts, and do some people watching by the fountain. Something he has always loved doing. He enters the bakery in typical fashion. Cheerfully loud and asking for two dozen of their freshest donuts!

Oh, the lovely smell of donuts, it's been too long since he's had one. In fact, maybe he should share this moment! He takes out his journal to speak into it.]

Hello people of Luceti! I know a lot of you are new here lately and it all might seem a bit scary at times, but try to keep your chin up! Take enjoyment out of the little things! Like the bakery! Ahh! Just smelling these perfect little pieces of heaven could bring a smile to anyone's face! Yes! A fresh donut in the morning can make any dark day better! AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!

[He bites into it with a cry of nearly pure ecstasy..] AHHHH! It taste just like heaven too! So warm and delectable it's just... just... it's just...

[Suddenly the journal falls out of Vash's hand and it bounces to the ground. Saving Luceti from the view, but not the sounds of heavy and violent retching. It lasts a few minutes and leaves Vash panting for breath.]



What- don't tell me... THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR!

[What was his message of looking on the bright side? Vash is a bit bitter right now as he stands outside the bakery, staring at his donuts in horror. Can he really not eat them anymore!? The journal feed will eventually cut off to the sound of Vash cursing the Malnosso to the end of his days.]

I don't really see how.

[voice]

[paladinlost]

They could have allowed you to keep eating them, but made their taste terrible only for you.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

But then I wouldn't be craving them so much!

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Would you not still crave the taste you'd remember, even if you could not feel it?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Hm, I suppose that's true.

BUT IT'S STILL AWFUL!

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps you could send a complaint to the Malnosso. It might work, for all we know.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

They've never listened to my complaints before.

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Did you send them in a formal and official manner? Large organizations come with a large bureaucracy and plenty of protocol, most of the time.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Don't think they really have a form for things like this.

[voice]

[paladinlost]

They'd not make it available to us if they did, either. It'd be too easy.

[voice] 1/2

[goldenglasses]

So, what you're saying is-

[voice] 2/2

[goldenglasses]

I'M DOOMED!

[voice]

[paladinlost]

...Your doom will not be permanent, thankfully.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

It feels like it. [Yes, he is going to pout forever.]

[voice]

[paladinlost]

...I hope they'll not consider that a reason to truly make it last.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

THEY BETTER NOT!

[voice]

[paladinlost]

I've no idea if it's even possible for them to do so.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

At this point I don't put anything past them.

[voice]

[paladinlost]

That's a reasonably healthy attitude to have, I'm sad to say.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Still think they're jerks.

[voice]

[paladinlost]

That would be because they are.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

[And with nothing to add to that - back to complaining and feeling sorry for himself!]

IT'S NOT FAIR!

[voice]

[paladinlost]

[Goodness, you'd think the world had ended or something.]

Surely they could have taken worse from you.

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

I can't think of what else they could have taken that was worse. [Partly because they already have.]

[voice]

[paladinlost]

People, perhaps? Or at least what those people mean to you?
