[Action / Accidental Voice]

[It’s been a few days since the draft, but even though he hadn’t been sleeping very well the last couple nights, last night was better. Really, it’s hard sometimes to feel down with Milly around again. That unshakable optimism must be contagious. Or maybe it was the fact that he hadn’t had any feeling of Knives being close since he returned from the draft. Maybe he was sent home! That would be nice.

They had all been brought together again. It feels almost like a dream as it would have been impossible back home, but now not only were the four of them together once again, they had a home together. A place they always knew where to find each other at the end of the day. It was also hard to believe, as he thought about it, how many friends he had grown so close to after being here for over a year. Good friends.

Really, it’s hard to hate Luceti when it’s given you all that.

So Vash is visiting his favorite spots. The flower shop is first on his list, then it’s to the bakery for some lunch! He’ll take his haul of donuts to the fountain to catch up on his people watching until they’re all gone. He doesn’t have too long to linger there, with the weather warming up and the snow melting he heads out into the forest to see if any of the flowers he’s planted have started to grow back yet.

Okay… so that’s a bit of a disappointment - BUT IT’S OKAY! The snow is only just starting to melt so they still have time to wake up and start growing. Besides, he likes the snow, he’s a little sad to see it go. He thinks Milly would have loved to play in it.

He had intended to head home after checking on the flowers, but it was so nice out that he changed his mind. Opting to pull his harmonica out and practicing a bit on it. Of course as the journals like to do, it turns on against his will and records the music that he plays for awhile. Then he talks out loud to himself for a bit.]

I can’t wait to see your flowers bloom again, Rem. I know they’ll be beautiful when they do. I’ve been trying to take very good care of them for you.

It’s nice here, when it’s quiet like this. I haven’t forgotten what I have to do back home, but I really like these peaceful days here.

[A pause.]

I did the best I could, Rem, but I’m not sure if I really did anything at all. I wonder what you would have done differently. Was there something I didn’t see? Something else I could have done? I sometimes wish you were here with me again.

[This entry will be locked from Knives, Legato, and Yuber by the end of the day.]

[Hey!! It's Josh! Goku probably isn't the brightest monkey in the world but he's not that bad with remembering people. The kid approaches Vash while he plays with the harmonica, enjoying the music, it's nice and peaceful and he likes the sound of that instrument, whatever that is. Don't mind the little monkey sitting on the ground looking at Vash curiously as he stops playing. The man's words are words that probably should suggest Goku to keep quiet and not butt in, it's a private conversation with someone not there... But Goku doesn't know what that is so he'll speak up anyway.]

I miss Sanzo a lot too, I wish he was here too, the time I've been here has been the longest I have ever been without seeing him! And I saw him everyday before! It's strange to not see him here. Is Rem a friend of yours, Josh-niichan?

[HErahehra! PERSON! Oh, wait! He likes you! It's alright!]

Ah, yes... she was someone very important to me back home.

[Action]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

Has it been a long time since you don't see her?

[Completely innocent question, he just wants to get an idea of how much Josh must miss Rem. As much as he misses Konzen? Or maybe more?]

[ Voice ] did you say music

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[She really can't not stop to listen when she hears harmonica music, now. And for a moment - just a moment - she thinks that maybe he is here, after all]

Bi -

[ - but no, the tune is different from the one he always plays; completely different, in fact, from any song she's heard recently. She cuts herself off.]

[ Voice ] 8D yes I did!

[goldenglasses]

[Too late, the music stops. Did his pocket just speak to him? No, that's silly! Someone must be around! But he doesn't see anyone.] Hello? [Hmmm... maybe he was hearing things.

[ Voice ] can't not reply to that

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[dahdksljfa and now he must be wondering who this complete stranger over the journals who's exclaiming syllables at him is.]

I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.

[A thoughtful Naoki is out and about today, and will eventually (likely) stumble across Vash at the fountain. He pauses, blinks, and will be joining him once he does happen to spy him.]

Re: [action]

[Stuffing a donut into his mouth. As you're walking over. He attempts to say hello, but his mouth is full. So have a nod and wave instead.]

[Naoki chuckles faintly and plops down next to him, stretching out his legs in front of him and leaning back on his hands.] They good?

[Terra's out and about doing some errands when she runs into Vash playing on his harmonica. She draws closer, listening intently but not wanting to interrupt him.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash eventually catches on that he has an audience, but seeing as she didn't interrupt it must mean she doesn't mind it too much, so he'll finish up the song before stopping to give you a smile.] Hello, Terra. Have you been well?

[Action]

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

[She nods, returning the smile.]

It's good to be back, especially now that it's nicer outside. You?

[After finally getting some sleep, Kohaku has relaxed just enough to make it around to the flower shop. Vash can find her just sitting in a random place, and watching over the flowers.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Hello there, Kohaku! Feeling better? Have you been able to get any sleep? [He saw you asking, but seeing as he was having trouble himself, he had no good advice to give.]

[Action]

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. I'd still like to be asleep though. [And she probably would be, if she didn't have to have someone watching over her the whole time.]

...How are you?

[notabluesbro]

[He totally doesn't reach over your shoulder and take a donut from the bag, nope. Except, oh wait, he does.]

Oh, you shouldn't have.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! HEY! These are his donuts! Grabbing his bag and setting it closer to his chest on his lap before haunching over it so you don't have easy access to his prize.]

Hey! I didn't get these for you! Go get your own!

Re: [Action]

[notabluesbro]

[FINE, I'll just sit down next to you and blow smoke in your face.]

You're not being a very good friend, hogging free food you've got too much of, you greedy bastard.

[knightofratatosk]

[Dooooonuts? Those look very tasty, but Emil is totally not eying them. Nope. Not at all.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Hey there, Emil! [He eats a donut.] How have [and another] you been? [And there goes another one.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Huh? Oh, um, I'm fine... w-what about you?

[Sob.]

[That last bit sounds as if it would be private to Brook. And Vash can be thick when it comes to the discussion of life and death on the battlefield.

So he thinks he'll leave that be, instead choosing to touch on a much happier conversation topic.]

Yohohoho! Your skill with the harmonica has improved while I was away, Vash-san!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Whoops... his pocket is talking to him. Pulling out his journal now and rubbing at his head sheepishly.] Yeah, I have! I figured I would get in trouble if I slacked off on practice just because you went on a trip for a bit.

[Voice]

[doubleppk]

That's sweet of you.

[Sultry female voice for you Vash.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Sultry female voice? Talking to him!] O-oh! Do you think so miss~
