[The video feed starts up mid afternoon with Vash grinning into the camera. For those good at picking up differences in smiles there's a huge difference in Vash's today. You thought he was happy before by the way he smiled and acted? Well, now he's beaming because he's finally, truly happy. He's no longer just pretending and the reason will be pretty clear as he finishes setting up the camera so he can sit on his couch with a small boy on his lap.]

Hello, Luceti! [He nearly shouts the greeting. Hardly able to contain how happy he is.] Your local Vash the Stampede wanting to apologize for missing out on work and not being around. I'll be back at Azalea and Seventh Heaven soon! I've just been a bit busy! [He grins and bounces his leg to make the boy on his leg bounce slightly.] Right Noah?

[The boy nods, but stays quiet.] But we also have an important message as well! Ready, Noah? Just as I showed you, okay?

[Noah prepares by holding up his arm and looking up at Vash for confirmation as Vash clears his throat 'dramatically'.]

This world is made of- LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[As Vash shouts his message he and Noah both pump their arms back and forth. Vash more confidant and Noah a bit hesitant, but with a smile on his face. Back and forth they go as Vash continues to say the mantra. Fingers spread in a V shape when their arms are pulled back then the fingers cross together as the arms are pumped forward. Noah doesn't join with the shouting, but he seems to be having some fun with the arm movements.]

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

[And somewhere in the background, for those who can hear past the screaming, may be a priest shouting about not using his son to spread propaganda.]

Vash....

[ There's a voice he hasn't heard in a while. It's a voice full of fondness and humor. He sounds so happy right now. ]

Are you brainwashing children now?

voice

[goldenglasses]

LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AN- [And Vash nearly chokes on his own mantra. One of the very few voices that would manage to stop him in his tracks. Noah keeps going for a bit longer before stopping, a bit confused as to why Vash suddenly stopped.]

M-Meryl?! Is that you!? [He'd know the sound of her voice anywhere, but he just can't believe it. After two years of being alone, could the people he cares the most about really be coming back all at once?]

voice

[notabluesbro]

[Equally surprised !!!! when he leans in over his own journal.]

Meryl??

[HEY SHORTY HOW'RE YOU?

Don't mind the little toddler he's scoping into his arms (go away Vash it's dad and son time now).]

[Action]

[notabluesbro]

[ARM WAVING OF DISAPPROVAL]

Hey, stop turning my son into a member of your spikey-headed cult!!

[And yet noah still does the love and peace, though it's more just mimicking for fun than anything. The kid is still a pretty serious fella, but Wolfwood was too, so he supposes maybe he inherited it from him. Lord knows Milly wasn't.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Love and peace isn't a cult! It's for everyone!

LOVE! AND! PEACE! Come on, Wolfwood! LOVE! AND! PEACE! It's fun!

NOT HERE

[HE LOVES YOU TOO VEGETA!]

[deathsdoctor]

[You know...

Why bother yelling. He has duct tape. TIME TO SPREAD A LITTLE LOVE AND PEACE TO LUCETI IN HIS OWN WAY.

(Oh and say hi to Noah. He's gotten so big~!)]

[goldenglasses]

[It should be pretty easy to figure out that Vash is at home as he's sitting on a couch. It's also probably pretty likely that Law knows what apartment in community building four that Vash is in. The question is, does he teleport over before Wolfwood steals his kid back or does he walk over so Vash has long lost Noah?]

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Love! And! Peace! Love! And! Peace!

[Grune is never a hard sell on this one.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash could use more soft sells! He grins brightly at Grune and keeps going with even more energy now.]

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

[Noah laughs softy and joins in with the hand motions.]

[Voice]

[lostlegacy]

[Sophie clamps both hands over her ears. That's loud. ...But wait a minute, there's a kid.]

Who's that?

[Shouted in an attempt to be heard over the racket.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[At least the moment Sophie brings up Noah, Vash stops his shouting. Bouncing his knees so Noah bounces with a giggle.] This is my god-son Noah! Say hi to Sophie, Noah! [Noah will wave, he's not a big talker just yet.]

video

[herobydefault]

You found him. Good.

video

[goldenglasses]

I did! [Vash grins into the camera and gently grabs Noah's arm to have the boy wave.] Cloud! Meet Noah! Noah, this is my friend Cloud!

[Yes, Cloud. You're a friend. Quiver in fear.]

Voice

[concasse]

... Good to hear you're as loud as ever, Broom Head.

Now stop brainwashing my poor nephew already!

[Yeah okay Noah is Vash's nephew too BUT SANJI DOESN'T PLAY FAIR.

Also hello, Vash. It's been a while and that is certainly not a note of fondness in the chef's voice, not at all.]

1/3 Voice

[goldenglasses]

Hey! It's not brainwashing! It's-

2/3 Voice

[goldenglasses]

[Wait. Is that-]

3/3 Voice

[goldenglasses]

Sanji! [Never before had Vash been so glad to be called Broomhead. It meant that Sanji remembered him.] Ah! Sorry, I guess I shouldn't be so glad to see you, but... it's so great to see you!

[Voice]

[illusional]

[Cheyenne hardly needed to use the journal to learn Vash was in the village. His soul was practically a beacon for how bright it was. And yet somehow, it seems to have gotten brighter. This mantra he's yelling -- is it some sort of hidden power?]

I don't suppose there is a purpose behind chanting such a thing, is there? I don't recall whether I ever asked you before.

[Nor did she seek him out before now, seeing as she was still getting used to navigating around the village again, but--]

[Sup Vash, have a monster girl.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PE-CHEYENNE!? [He voice goes from shouting and happy to ecstatic. Although, still shouting. Sorry about that. He tries to tone it down a little bit to talk at a normal level, but it still a bit higher than normal. He's just so happy he can hardly contain it.]

Is that really you? It's so great to hear your voice again! And yeah! The purpose is to spread the feelings of love and peace to other people!

[voice]

[theideaguy]

Really? This again? Don't you remember what happened the LAST time you pulled this stuff?

[Voice] 1/2

[goldenglasses]

Ah, haha, yeah, sorry. [And he really is considering how quickly he stops his chant as soon as Sokka speaks up.] Perhaps encouraging it at your place isn't a good idea.

So, yeah, sorry about that. It's just- well,

[savedtheworld]

Noah? Vash.. Is that who I think it is? [His heart is melting just at the thought.]

[goldenglasses]

It's exactly who you think it is! [Vash is grinning brightly as he stops his chanting as he starts to wave at the camera in attempt to get Noah to copy him.] Hello to my friend Aang, Noah! Hi! Say hi!

[While Noah doesn't speak much. He does start copying Vash to wave at the picture of Aang in the book.]

[Voice] latest of the late ever

[knightofratatosk]

LOVE AND PEACE!

[This time Emil is considerably more enthusiastic in his response than last time, even raising one hand to wave to Noah over the video.]

This time we can actually say the peace part for real, too.

[Voice] But better than never!

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is more than happy to have someone easily joining in.]

YEAH! It feels GREAT doesn't it!?
