[Drowning - I mean Accidental Voice]

[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?

He must be very busy, then.

[goldenglasses]

[Busy fighting off sandworms, robots, and bandits? Heh, maybe he does get Wolfwood into more trouble than he should.] He is. His church doubles as an orphanage back home. So he's always working hard to raise money to care for them.

[...so she tried to kill someone who looks after small children. BRILLIANT JOB, KATIE.]

Oh, well. I suppose he can't help being a priest.

[goldenglasses]

You know, I think it's a law or something that priests have to forgive people who are really sorry.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Mm.




Does he like candy?

[goldenglasses]

You know, I don't think I've seen him eating too much candy before, but who doesn't like candy, right? [That and Vash's pretty sure Wolfwood would love something given to him by a kid, no matter what it is.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

All right. [Candy it is. :| And ...well, if he already knows Wolfwood and doesn't hate her for it, she may as well do this the easy way. Glancing up at the mountains.]

Vash, could you do me a favour?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, s-sure. [I mean, you only saved his life and all.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[You are cold and she doesn't want to go through a teleporter. And she hasn't the magic for another teleport herself, but!

...there's always the fun way. 8D Wrapping her arms around him tightly.]

Try not to panic.

[Hopscotch. Thank you for flying pooka airlines to the top of the mountains, enjoy the ride. Oh, and don't scream? 8D;;]

[goldenglasses]

[VASH DOES NOT LIKE HOPSCOTCH! He tries for all of half a second to not panic before he begins screaming. Sorry Katie, it's just a natural response to suddenly flying through the air after one already near death experiance.]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[Holding on for all she's worth 8| And being nice enough not to giggle maniacally all the way down. IT'S OKAY, VASH. THAT MOUNTAIN RANGE RUSHING UP TO MEET YOU ISN'T LETHAL AT ALL--

Well, it isn't. Land on your own two feet without injury. |Db]

[goldenglasses]

[AH! THAT MOUNTAIN RANGE IS GUNNA EAT-

Oh wait, no it's not. As he finds himself landing safely on his feet, Vash finds that his brain needs a minute to reboot after that. Give him a minute, but for now he's just going to stand there blinking.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[Katie will just. Nestle close and wait for him to get his wits back and say something. >>]

[goldenglasses]

[After another moment or two Vash turns his head towards the child on his back and lets out a shy, but happy laugh.] Well... that was faster.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[...phew. Relaxing a bit now, then.]

Are you ready to go again?

[goldenglasses]

Ahahaha... a-again?

[He shivers against the cold trying to settle into his bones.]

Yeah, I guess I'm ready again.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

You could always close your eyes.

Can you see your house from here?

[goldenglasses]

N-Not yet. But I guess I-I'm ready w-when you are.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

What a shame. [Oh well, so much for jumping him straight home. But she can see the community buildings from here, poking up out of the trees. Katie stifles a yawn. ...hmm. Excuse me, Vash. Katie's just gonna ... kinda climb around your side to latch onto your front instead. :| You don't need an explanation or anything, do you?]
