[Vash woke up early on the morning of the 18th. His birthday. Another year in Luceti and another year older. He was what... 135, 136 now? It's a bit iffy with the way time works in Luceti. He pets the cats for a bit before moving onto his morning training. Once that's done he washes, styles his hair, finishes off breakfast, and opens the journal.]

Heyyyyyyy, Luceti! I know this place can be a bit awful sometimes, but never forget what this world and all worlds are really made of! For you see, this world is really made of--

LOVE AND PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[As he shouts at the top of his lungs into the journals he also pumps his arms. Fingers spread in a V sign for peace up near his head, then the fingers cross together as he pumps his arm forward. He repeats the motion over and over as he shouts.] LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! Everybody join in! LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[He couldn't think of a better way to celebrate his birthday then by not focusing on himself, but spreading the idea of love and peace.]

It's not helping my stress at all!

[ The annoyance fades a little into a sigh. ]

Whatever. I guess if it helps some people. [ Although she doesn't sound happy about it. ] Everyone's differently. Just because I'd rather hit something than yell at it doesn't mean that helps everyone.

True. I guess I sort of assumed that the people who don't release stress by shouting now and could just... you know... ignore it?

Ignore it? You heard the noise in my house. You wanted me to ignore THAT?

Y-yeah, I didn't think it would get any louder than what I started it on. Sorry about that.

[ Him apologizing was making it a LITTLE more difficult to stay mad. Korra lets on a huff of air. ]

You started on pretty loud too, you know. [ But she shakes her head. ] Do you do this often?

Yeah, but it was all for fun. Not for... arguing.

And what would you consider often?

Too late for that, pal.

And "often" is any time more than once. Basically what I'm asking is, should I expect this to happen again? Should I get ready for it? Get some earplugs?

More than once? Yeah, better grab some earplugs! But don't worry, I don't do this that often! Just a normal once a week!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[He breaks out in mad laughter at his own joke. Or is it a joke?]

Can't you keep your weekly outbursts to yourself, then? I am trying to figure out how to keep everything peaceful here, and it's not really helping.

[ She's totally all for love and peace and yelling and things in general, but through the journal where her angry housemates could see it was looking like a bad idea. ]

[Vash chuckles, but not with much humor.] Heh, ah, yeah. Good luck with that. Do you think you'd like some help?

[Hint: You don't want his help.]

Depends on what kind of help.

[ Look, she knows it's probably a bad idea. But she can't help but wonder. If it involves more yelling she is slamming this journal shut, though. ]

Well, from the sounds of it, looks like your house may need some hugs!

[ And she can't help but laugh at that. The thought of this guy hugging Zuko and Kai until they stopped fighting was just too good. ]

You know what? If that works, I will never complain about you yelling ever again.

Right, tell me how that goes! [What? Did you think HE was going to put himself at risk of being set on fire?!]

What?! No way!

[ And just like that she completely switches feelings on this plan. ]

What are you saying, you want me to just grab everyone in a huge group hug? Hug our feelings out?

Yeah! It might work! ...probably.

[ Flatly, ] Your confidence is very reassuring.

[ But then she sighs. ] Still better than any idea I have, but I hope you don't mind if I don't use it.

But it's better than no plan! You should try it!
