[The journal falls open just in time to catch a pained gasp, followed by some rather upset sniffling.] T-t-that hurt! B-but R-R-Rem said dreams aren’t s-suppose to hurt! It’s so cold. Rem! Kn-nives! [Finally the journal catches a glimpse of little Vash as he shakily tries to stand up in it‘s view. His trade mark spiky hair is gone. Instead it falls most the way down his back, but those eyes and that mole are the same. He‘s also severely underdressed in just the new feather pants. Look ma! No scars!] W-Where are you?! Joey? J-Joey, can you h-hear me?! W-what part of the s-s-ship is this?!

[There’s a pause as if he’s waiting for someone to answer, then he tries to take a step forward. Instead of moving his feet come flying out from under him and he lands hard on ice again with a frightened yelp. Once he gets his breath back the soft sobbing starts up again.] Rem. P-p-please help me, R-Rem. Where are y-you?

(ooc: Space and time? What is that? Whoever wants to run into poor Vash is welcome. He’s stuck out on the frozen lake!)

No, you're not.

I'll explain everything when I find you, but right now I need you to flash your journal at the lake so I know which one you're at.

B-but... if I'm n-not in the s-s-ship and I have wi-wings... [He sniffles. It's just too hard to talk right now with his teeth chattering so badly.] O-o-ok-ay... [He turns the journal around and slowly pans it around the lake - don't mind the shaking. Hopefully it's not giving you a headache.]

[The moment he's sure of the location, there's a lapse in conversation as he double-times it to get over to the lake. Getting jumped by the Marines and having to flee on the spur of the moment really does wonders for his overall speed, and he's got the motivation to cover a lot of ground. It isn't too long (hopefully) by the time he reaches the lake and spots a small figure still out on the ice]

... Oi.

[Wow... you're tall. And you're really awake. Have a confused and shivering child staring at you.] H-hi.

[hello, confused and shivering child. Sanji will not introduce you to a coat. It's gonna be long, but it's warm and right now that's what matters]

You hurt anywhere?

[He gives a shake of his head for an answer. Not hurt at all. In fact, his body will never be in better shape again in his life! He's just VERY cold. Oooh. Coat. Don't mind him as he snuggles into it, before trying to talk again.]

Is t-this... really r-real?

[A slight smile.] Really real.

Kinda weird, but you'll get used to it. [He didn't come out here to talk in the cold, though.]

I'll carry you back to the village, kid.

[A village? His eyes were pretty wide with shock and awe already; hard to believe they could get larger - but they do.]

T-there are m-more p-people a-awake? A whole v-vil-lage?

Of course there are. [Picking you up now, kid. Hope you don't mind.]

Why would they be asleep?

[Not at all. In fact he happily clings to you because your body heat feels so good and he's not alone anymore. That alone is a huge weight off his shoulders. More so than the hope of getting warm soon.]

Because they're w-waiting to wake up on th-the new home Rem and the oth-ers are going to find for t-them. She s-says that way they'll have a-all their strength wh-when they wake u-up.

[Then he sighs, a mix of dreamy hopefulness and exhaustion from the day.]

An E-Eden, where they c-can live in p-peace and harmony.
