[Standard Villain Filter with emphasis again Knives, Legato, and Yuber // 100% Unhackable]

Those of you who met a little girl during the last experiment, who might have said her name was Tesla, she was not a little girl. She was my brother, Knives. He was looking for me and if you told him you knew me, [a pause] you could be in danger. I’m sorry, but any of my friends, even if you don’t know me that well, [even if you don’t know me] you shouldn’t leave yourself unprotected. I don’t know what he might be thinking or planning, but he’s never treated people I know very well.

Knives looks a lot like me, but with shorter and lighter hair. He also has a man named Legato working for him. He has blue hair and yellow eyes. Stay away from them if you can. If they come after you, call for help. They are very strong and have mental abilities that can turn even the strongest fighter into a rag doll. Please, do not go after them on your own.

[After answering the questions people may ask, Vash decides to work off some of this building frustration and anger towards his brother. He’s at the battle dome and he’ll be in there until he’s kicked out, finger bleeding, shooting at anything the simulation will throw at him without killing the targets. Feel free to catch him setting everything up or as he’s coming out.]

Uh, Vash? Are you gonna be alright?

[voice]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I will be. [He's more worried about everyone else than himself.]

[voice]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

So, his name is Knives...

What do you mean by "mental abilities"?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Legato has the power to reach mentally out to people and take control over their body. I've seen him do it to entire towns before.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

So there's another who looks like you...

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

A bit, but as I said, he has a slightly lighter hair color and it's cut much shorter than mines. His eyes are also a slightly darker shade of blue.

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

Frank, what's all this about? Are you in danger?

[goldenglasses]

No, [yes] I'm fine. I just want to warn everyone just in case he tries something. He might not.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. [She'd been expecting this post, but she can't help feel amused about half of it. In a faintly bitter kind of way.]

Does that hold true for you too?

[goldenglasses]

I don't want anyone else to get hurt. [That'd be a no.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I knew there was something odd about that little girl.

[goldenglasses]

He talked to you? [Damn.]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

I can't say I know you people very well, but I'll be sure to be on the look out. Thanks for the advanced notice.

[goldenglasses]

["You people", huh?] Just... stay away from them if you can.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[...Oh dear. And here she's already been in close contact with one of them.]

...Thank you for the information.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Your welcome. [It seems so wrong to be thanked for something like this.]

[seiriald]

It's nice to have some sort of visuals for them now. [Not sure if she's going to bring up that she might have met him, though.]

[Private//Voice]

[goldenglasses]

I'm sorry that doesn't really help you as much. Do you remember what I told you about their voices sound like?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

You brother... is dangerous? [But... that's so sad...]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

He is, if anyone asks you if they know me, it'd be best to pretend you don't and to stay away from anyone who may look kind of like me.

[Juuust. Pretty much ignoring your speech except for the important parts.]

Alright, so when do we go kick their ass? [Sound of a fist slamming into a palm.]

[Slightly Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

[Not... even bothering to fix that filter. He's too busy rubbing his forehead.]

I'll let you know when, alright? But for now, please stay away from them, okay?

[Action] totally not a placeholder, nope :|;;

[notabluesbro]

[See Wolfwood. See Wolfwood on the couch wrapped up and grumpy-looking. It was not in his weekly plans to get flung into mountains, and he certainly wasn't happy with getting sick. So. Grumpy preacher bundled up with a hot cup of coffee.

He glances at Vash, well after his little broadcast.]

Actually, I got the chance to meet Knives as this little girl, too... I thought something about her was familiar.

[Surprisingly enough, he's so winded that Kuroneko is curled up at his side and he doesn't even give a damn. This is progress in their relationship, right?]

[Action] DID I SAY YOU COULD PLACE HOLDER YOUNG MAN!?

[goldenglasses]

[He's pretty easy to catch. He has to come out of his bedroom at some point to get to the battle dome. You can totally tell he's still in serious mode because his glasses are still on. :|b]

Did he try to find out if you knew me too?

[Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Vash? I met her - him. Could you please tell me more about the situation?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

I'm not really sure what he's planning right now. It may be nothing, I just want people to be careful. [Really, all he knows about Knives's plan back home was that a lot of his friends and people wound up dead and Legato picked out a couple of his friends to use against him.]

What did he say to you?

[Filtered]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

... Made a move, did he?

[Yep. Called it.]

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

He used this experiment to try to figure out who my friends were.

Besides that, I don't really know what he's thinking.

[action] - coming out of the simulation

[screwthegods]

[This is certainly something Homura doesn't see often. What might have at first been dismissed as nothing more than poor aim becomes an undeniable testament to the skill of a particular gunman as he continues, and draws Homura's attention. He has come to the battle dome to observe what talent might be found there, and hasn't been disappointed.

If Vash is too focused on his thoughts, the man who approaches once he exits the chamber might be striking indeed, due to the similarity to another Vash knows all too well. Yet it isn't Legato's voice that calls out, nor a pair of golden eyes that studies the expression and the posture of this man.]

Your aim is remarkable.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash has noticed someone watching while he moved through the simulation. He doesn't really like that aspect of the battle dome, but it was still better than practicing in the forest.] Thank-you. [He calmly holsters his gun and moves towards the clinic to find a bandage to wrap his finger in. There's something about you he's not sure he likes.]

[endgames]

[He's pinged by the description of Legato's abilities. He has a teammate back home who can do something similar, after all. Shikamaru holds his questions until he hears what Vash has to say to the other people speaking with him.]

These abilities you described... to what end do they usually use them to, back where you're from?

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Usually to puppet people. As shield, for weapons, to send messages, anything.

[godbent]

There's a few people who could fit Legato's description, give me more details.

[...This is why he left the Brigade, isn't it?]

[goldenglasses]

He's fairly tall, and wears a white coat with spikes on a shoulder and a skull.

[Yes it was!]

[Voice]

[daisy023]

So that was the guy from days ago. The one that entered killing everything. [Even though the journals, SPARTAN-023 knows she wouldn't have been a match for him.]

This is Sierra Twenty-Three. Acknowledged. But graphical data would be better to recognize both subjects.

[ENCRYPTED TO VASH // EYES ONLY]

I'm reading the intel through the responses. [She hates what she's reading. Even a Hunter would've been torn to shreds.] Firearms are innefective, can change shape to form knives and mass-destruction weaponry. Even control bodies.

What I would do for Covenant weaponry now.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Wow. You're really, really professional about this. Vash isn't even really sure how to respond. He was never good with military sounding type stuff.]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... affirmative?

[It hadn't been his intention to pay attention to the journal system that day, simply leaving it open to listen for certain voices. But the name Tessla does more than just ping him: it lifts his head from the book he was reading and stops him. Of course he remembers the little doll that he met more than a week ago. Tessla--no, Knives--did tell him that she was more than she seemed. Now he knew.

Evidently he exchanged pleasantries with someone who was dangerous. Now there was a voice imploring him to stay away from this Knives...funny. Their conversation was harmless, enough. But he didn't know as much as he would've liked.

He reaches for his journal and writes.]

Tell me more.

[It takes Vash awhile to respond. Mostly because he had to go find a pen.]

What do you want to know? [He's not about to spill his life history. You have to earn it.]

[ Balls. ]

Another day in Luceti, huh?

[ voice ]

[goldenglasses]

Pretty much.

[Naoki heard the announcement. Scanned the responses. But he didn't respond himself, instead making his way to look for Vash. He worries, you see. Vash seems to have too many bad things happening to him. His...travels, so to speak may see him passing by the battle dome at the same time the other exits.]

[action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash exits the battle dome and when he happens to catch Naoki's eye he smiles and waves.] Hey there, Naoki. How have you been?
