[Vash has been putting this off. Someone he doesn’t trust, taking him, and poking at him leaves a bad taste in his mouth; but with Knives here…]

[Filtered to John // 100% Unhackable]

I need to speak to you.

[Filtered to Wolfwood and Meryl // 100% Unhackable]

Where are you? I need to talk to you.

[Filtered to Knives // 100% Unhackable]

…

[Yeah? What were you going to say to him? Behave while I’m gone?]

[End Filter]

[After business has been taken care of and he’s talked to those he needed to, Vash heads out into the forest aiming for a river. It’s long past time to intensify his training with the spirits. For those who have gotten to know happy and laid back Vash - this is not him. He’s taking this training with Sona very serious right now and isn’t very chatty. His glasses are on.]

[Sailor Mercury's training spot is also the river today. She moves in graceful, athletic forms, utilizing her sword against the imaginary foes the kata represent.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash wanders up by mistakes into Mercury's training session. He hadn't meant to interrupt someone's training and moves to find another spot where the river isn't completely frozen over - then stops.

There's something familiar about you.]

[She completes a few more moves and comes to a natural pause before calling out to Vash.]

It's alright. You're not interrupting.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

OH! I'm sorry, didn't mean to stare. It's just, you look a lot like a friend of mine!

Re: [Action]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

It's alright. I wasn't offended. I'm Sailor Mercury.

[goldenglasses]

Nice to meet you. I'm Greg.

[Filtered//Unhackable] totally not placeholder-y |D

[notabluesbro]

I'm just a little way from the apartment. [That's a very recognizable tone of 'important shit'; what are you about to go off and do, spikey? Or are you about to tell him something that'll annoy him? Probably both...]

You want this to be in person?

[Filtered//Unhackable] All good! Turns out I don't need to run off to NYC now! Yay phone interview!

[goldenglasses]

No, I can do this over the journals. [Then again... if you figure things out. He should do this face to face.]

But, I'm not too far myself. Might as well meet up.

Re: [Filtered//Unhackable] what a handy invention, the phone! |D

[notabluesbro]

[He nods to that.]

I'll be waiting outside of the apartments, when you get here.

[Filtered//Unhackable] Saving me 160+ dollars!

[goldenglasses]

Alright. I'll be there soon. [Off he heads!]

[Action]

[notabluesbro]

[And here he waits. While he's not entirely sure what you want to talk about, he has a few ideas that could very well be the case, with someone like you. But more importantly, he knows that he's going to probably need a new pack of cigarettes.

See? Already smoking one by the time you get here.]

[malnosso]

Let me guess.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

If you can, I need the vision back in my eye.

[Filtered]

[malnosso]

It's always work, work, work with you people.

I'll send for you shortly, then.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Alright, thank you.

[ action ] if that is okay >_>

[In the brief pause between heavy snows, Ginko has been wandering further and further-- maybe to make up for being stuck in the village.

It's on the way back from one of the lakes that he spots Vash-- but the air of seriousness keeps him from hailing him. It does peak his curiosity, though. So he leans against a tree, half-obscured, to watch.]

[ action ] Of course! 8D I love tags!

[goldenglasses]

[Ginko doesn't show up on Vash's threat radar. Slow movements are good when he's like this. So he doesn't bother to check exactly what the movement was. Instead he focus on the bit of water he's found that hasn't been covered with ice.

Oh so slowly a little bit of the water starts to rise up in a spike, then it fans itself out. Eventually a very tiny bubble finally forms and separates from the rest of the water. It's so tiny Ginko might not even be able to see it from where he is. Vash isn't too happy with himself either as he lets out a rather frustrated sigh. This is taking too long. He needs an edge against Legato and Knives now.]

[ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[Ginko has trouble throwing a threatening aura when he's trying.

But observant he is. And he's wondering whether you really think you'll get anything like (near) lethal force out of the spirits' here. Tsinku, maybe. Eferin, if you're carting flammable liquids. But Sona isn't waterbending, by a long shot-- and he's curious to see the direction you're taking.

Even he can only watch for so long, though, and after a moment remarks quietly-]

Not a very forceful source of energy, is it?

[ action ]

[goldenglasses]

[Ha! Lethal. Vash is actually more looking for a distraction devise. They can be very handy at times. He's actually been saving Tsinku and Eferin for last for those reasons. In his mind he's scary and dangerous enough, he's not really looking forward to adding more to that.

That bubble has long since popped before you speak up. In fact it pops almost immediately. He works on trying it again, but he only manages to get a little bit of water to stand up again. It's tiring work, but he looks up when you speak, softening his features slightly at the sight of a friend.]

Oh, Ginko. No, I guess it isn't.

[ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[Hn. There's an odd feeling... maybe it's still too close to the draft, even now. He keeps track of things, you know. Everything that isn't filtered. And he opens his mouth, to shut it again with an irked hmmmm. And trudges down a little closer to the water.]

So that's Knives.

[Abrupt. But Ginko doesn't run futile circles, when he can help it.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[You have someone observing your training from a distance. He's not hiding behind anything and just happen to stumble across Vash. This was Alexei's first time seeing the magic from the spirits here in action, so you can bet he's curious with what Vash was doing]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[The water he's been pushing back and forth hesitates a moment, as it requires his full attention. Once he's sure the movement he sense nearby isn't a threat he continues.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[Alexei remains watching Vash then, as it was clear he didn't want to disturbed...although Alexei's pondering whether he should throw in a range attack at Vash, just to see how he would react.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Not very well, as Vash is a bit high strung right now and just waiting for droids to pounce at any moment. Alexei is welcome to try... but he may find himself shot. Vash can draw and shoot almost instanciously.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[Let's not have an injured Alexei so early on :(. Let's walk around so Vash sees that he wasn't alone anymore.]
