[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.]

You lived a long life until you found these doughnuts, didn't you? And you look like a tough guy. You can wait some time longer. I believe in you.

But my life wasn't complete until I found donuts!

You're still in the same life where you found donuts! You'll just have to stick with the memories for now.

But the memories are so teasing with their delicious taste!

Just try to trick yourself into thinking the memory's right now! Sometimes? Time can just be an illusion!

It's not good enough! No illusion could replace donuts!

But... you can pretend the illusion's real! [He was really running out of ideas for helping this guy cope.]

No illusion, even the most real one, can replace the real thing!

I'm sorry. There's just nothing else we can do for now.

IT'S NOT FAIR!

It's gonna be okay. I'm here for you.

Oh? You will? I suppose I should learn your name then.

My name's Aang! What's yours?

My name is Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser the Third.

But I guess you can call me Vash for short.

[Which means he likes you more than Wolfwood when they first met. You just got to laugh a bit in the face of something horrible like not having donuts anymore.]

[Wow, and he had been thinking hat Bonzu Pippin-Paddle Oppsokopolis III was bad enough, and that one was a fake name!]

Okay. Vash for short, even though you're tall! It's really nice to meet you!

It's okay shorty! So long as you drink all your milk and eat your vegtables then you too can grow as tall as I am little arrow head!

I do eat lots of vegetables, I'm already a lot taller than I used to be! [He's not one Katara tall! Too bad the Katara here happened to grow a little past that in the meantime.] I'm not that short, am I?
