[The video starts with a rapid, bouncing motion of the sky as if the book had just been dropped and landed on it's spine before falling open. It's quickly followed by a long yell and a LOUD splash! The image bobs up and down a moment before slowly the book starts to slide and tip over. Water starts to creep up and take over the screen as there's another splash and the sound of a man taking a LARGE breath of air.]

AHHH! Oh man, I think I saw a bright light that time! Or maybe that was the su-[Glub! Opps! No time to try to relax just yet. Luckily there's another gasp shortly after that.] GAAHH! This swimming thing is hard- [Opps, there went the journal. There's a muffled yell before the book is yanked up and out of the water.]

Oh man... it's soaked. [At last there is a view of a rather wet Vash, staring into the journal as he clutches onto a small piece of drift wood. That's a LOT of water behind him.]

Uh... is this thing still working? Ahahaha... heeeey there guys. No need to worry! But I uh, won't be home tonight. Or... uh... maybe a week. [He glances up. A big revealed grin shows up on his face.] Oh good! I can see the mountains from here! Now I know which wa- [Whoops, he got a little too excited, the book joins him back under water as he flips over his little piece of wood. It takes only a few moments for him to surface again.]

Aiaiaiiaiai... man that's cold and was that... salt? I'll just be home as fast as I can, okay?

[URGH]

I thought you said you were kinda okay at swimming??

I DON'T REALLY KNOW! I've only been swimming once before! AND IT WAS IN A LAKE! The water didn't keep moving around!

[His instincts are enough to keep his head above water and a TINY bit of swimming, not enough to swim the whole ocean like a pro! But oh, how he wishes!]

Then kick faster!! Doggy paddle more, or something!

I'm trying! I'm trying! I'm-AHHHHHHHHHH! [Sorry Wolfwood, the journal just got dropped into the water. It's just going to sink for a bit as Vash is startled by a mermaid.]

Vash??

Hey—Don't you go dying out there, or I'll kick your ass!

[GODDAMMIT, now you've got him panicking.]

DAMMIT, SPIKEY.

[When he hears back from you, he'll determine that he'll definitely kick your ass regardless of if you dying out there.]

[It's some time before Vash is shaking his journal out on shore trying to get it to work again, but he manages it! And he already figures he's in trouble.]

Hey, Wolfwood! I figured out how to get back to shore!

...ever heard of a mermaid?

[HNNNGH]

Don't freak me out like that! Geez!!

... A mermaid?

[There's a beat, as he calms and recalls the memories of a little dirty orphan getting told ocean stories by a guy with a damn curly eyebrow.]

Half-fish people, right?

Yeah! I found one! Or well... she found me, but she got me to shore! [Tired as hell and soaking wet, but he's so happy right now.] Katie helped me out too!

[Yeah, both of them saved him... somehow. TIME AND SPACE BE DAMNED!]

... Katie, huh?

Yeah, I'm kinda giving her a piggyback ride back. [Do you hear the way his teeth are starting to chatter, that he's trying so hard to hide, Wolfwood?]

[He does. And he's not too pleased about it. Complain and bitch a little, why don't you?]

Maybe you should stop and get yourself rid of sea water, first.

[B|]

I'm going to change a-as soon as we find a n-new feather s-station. [There is NO way he's stripping down in front of Katie.]

... Just don't get yourself sick, spikey.

[B| x 2

... Not that he has room to talk.]

Me? Sick? Ahahahahaha! [That's not a confidant laugh at all. That's the: please don't hit me for getting sick kind.]
