[Vash was sore. Spending several weeks combat testing for the Malnosso was a pain, but the points he earned that he one day hoped to spend on seeing Noah one day were hopefully worth it.

Long hair still tied back in a pony tail, wearing the green long sleeve shirt and brown pants that he wore during the combat tests, and sporting a few new bruises and a slight limp, he drops himself in Good Spirits first. Needing a good stiff drink.

It's while nursing his fourth or fifth drink that he eventually opens the journal.]

Hey there. I'm back. Sorry, I was gone a little longer than expected. Hope things weren't too hectic at Seventh Heaven without me. I'll be back to work tomorrow. Oh, and as long as things are working normally around here still, welcome to all the New Feathers. Hope your stay here won't be too horrible or long!

[For the next few hours Vash will be working his way through a bottle of whiskey. Then it's off to the grocery store to restock his apartment. Speaking of which, the very moment he gets back to community building four he'll be attacked by a couple cats who have missed their favorite scratching post. Feel free to run into him at any point in his wanderings today.

After relaxing just a bit at home, Vash does finally decide to open his journal just once more.]

[Private to Knives // 100% Unhackable]

I'm back. [It's all that's said for now. He's not really sure he wants to talk to his brother anyway. Still, one never does make the best choices while buzzed.

It's later on when he finally checks his calender and sees just what day it is. Or close to. July 21st. They just had to bring him back in time to remember the anniversary of the destruction of the city of July. He was going to need a lot more alcohol over the next couple days.]

[Vash peers in close to the eyes, taking not of the strange color.] Yeah? You have to be born with that on your world or something?

Essentially. It's what's called a Kekkai Genkai. A bloodlimit. This particular type is a Doujutsu, one of three and the most powerful of them. But... as far as I know there was only one other family that ever had the ability to revive the dead, and doing so always killed them.

These do more than simply that.

[It was the return to life that Vash was most curious about. Something he would wish to take home with him. If he could bring Wolfwood back, it would be worth it, but he hadn't been born with that kind of power. No point dwelling on it further.]

Yeah? What else can they do?

Ah... I can use all of the elements, see into people's minds... it really depends. I've yet to find something I can't do if I try hard enough. [And now he looked thoughtful.

Of course he really wasn't going to get into all the mistakes having these eyes led him into, of course. No, that might come on a day not their first conversation.]

Eh!? Really? Does reading people's mind do any damage like bringing people back from the dead do? That sounds like it would be a lot of hard work! Well, brain work that is! [Vash speaks with a laugh to his voice. Doing his best to act the innocent bumbling fool. Yet what he's really curious about is weaknesses in case this guy ever tried to read his own mind.]

[He looked thoughtful... then shrugged. It wasn't a fact he felt any real concern about sharing, after all.]

None I've ever noticed. It's not something I make a habit of.

So you can just... read my mind right now then? [As soon as the question leaves his mouth Vash focuses mind to think about how to make hamburgers for dinner that night.]

I believe so. [He blinked, baffled.] You want me to?

Sure! Why not! I've never had my mind read before! At least... I don't think so. I wonder what it would feel like! What color am I thinking of?

[Blue. Blue. Blue. White - er, I mean blue!

That's all his mind thinks of, while his eyes carefully watch for any tell that might show this man is reading his mind at the moment.]

[He looked at him oddly for a moment, then shook his head, doing a quick double seal with his hands before doing something not dissimilar to when he'd been using his holographic reaching back home, staring into his eyes with his own many ringed ones. As he wasn't exactly hunting around, or digging anything up, it was only a moment before he dropped it, blinking.]

Blue with a bit of white. [His lips quirked, though he felt it a bit more than he'd expected he would, it didn't show, and he intead indulged his amusement.]

Oh! I did think of white there by mistake! [He takes notes of the hand movement for possible future need.] You really can read minds and I didn't feel a thing! That's amazing!

[There was a look on his face that said he was fairly sure why he had requested that.]

Did you see what you wanted to see?

Hm? I suppose so? I was thinking I'd feel something more than see something. Oh! But you wanted to know how this place is set up, right? If you're looking for meats and things like that they're usually in the back in big cold boxes.

[His lips twitched into a small smile.] Thank you.

Given the turn the conversation took... might I ask after your name?

Oh! Yeah! Sure! My name's Vash, and yours?

Nagato. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, though I'm sure you got something useful from it as well?

Sure! Always useful to make a new friend!

[That stilled him a moment, and when he spoke his tone was softer.] I suppose that's true then, isn't it?

Sure! If it's one thing Luceti is good for is meeting interesting people and making new friends!

Thank you. Then... I do hope we'll talk again after this. [He gave him small, less certain smile.]

Sure we will. Anything else you need help with around here?

No, no you've more than answered my questions. Thank you. [He dipped his head once and turned to point.]

That way, right?

Yup! Just look for the big, cold boxes! Can't miss it!

[His lips quirked up into a smile and he inclined his head gravely before turning and starting off that direction.] Thank you, until next time Vash.

See you later!
