[He was dreaming, he was out in the forest, but this wasn’t like most of the dreams he had that were in the forest. He was fighting someone, but who…? Legato? No! It was---!!] Wolfwood! [His stressed brain works over time as it seems to take everything in at once. He’s in his room. Something cold on his wrist - handcuffs - his ankle too. The end of the fight comes running back to him. Wolfwood was alive and taking safety measures.

Good. He deserved to be chained up like a monster. Just thinking about what he’d done makes his stomach turn. Without even really thinking about it he slides himself up trying to bring his knees to his chest. He should call for Wolfwood, make sure he was alright and to get out of these chains, but… he just couldn’t look him in the face right now. I tried to kill him. Ugh. He lowers his head; afraid he really was going to be sick.

Then sometime after one of his roommates have set him free and he can get to his journal he‘ll put up a filter, although it takes him a long time to speak into it after it goes up.]

[Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable]

[At first his speaking is very quick and precise, like he’s rehearsed this. That won’t last long though.] Everyone, I’m sorry, if you spoke or met me recently that… it… it wasn- [A sigh and maybe what could be the sound of a piece of paper being crumpled.] I can’t say it wasn’t me, it was… but I would never… what I said these last couple weeks, I would never normally say or do those things. I am so sorry. So, very sorry. [He not even going to bother to ask you all to forgive him.]

[Filtered to Kaori // 100% Unhackable]

Are you alright? I… I’m so sorry that I hurt you.

[Written to Legato // 100% Filtered.]

[Vash hesitates on this. He’s pretty sure Legato would also rather pretend the last couple weeks didn’t happen, but still, Vash couldn’t do that. He also couldn‘t bring himself to speak it either. So after a long pause he quickly scribbles.]

Thank you.

[This post may or may not have been made from within Vash’s closet. He knows he has to go back outside at some point - even just to make sure Legato hasn’t gone on a rampage - he’s just not ready to face people yet.]

[Voice] Sorry about him. D'8

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

You would never, huh? Sure sounded pretty damn convincing, despite your logic being a bit flawed.

[Voice] 8D It's okay - it's payback for Vash being a silly little crazy

[goldenglasses]

It was very flawed. I'm sorry for being so rude, I... I wasn't in my right state of mind.

[Private]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

I didn't talk to you, but heard the story from your friend when I healed him. You can't be blamed for what happens during an experiment. That wasn't you.

[Private]

[goldenglasses]

You helped to heal him? Thank you, I don't think I could ever fully show how much I appreciate that. [No really, it does help a little knowing that Wolfwood didn't have to suffer long with all the great people here.]

[seiriald]

... I'm okay... You don't need to apologize...

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Yes, I do. I'm sorry, even if I wasn't in my right state of mind, I should have never done that. I'm so sorry.

[Wolfwood hears him through the open door, but makes no rush—he's pretty sure he knows what's coming up. By the time he's standing in Vash's doorway, he has the IV drip pole propped up on his shoulder, tossing a small pair of keys up and down in his hand.

He's straight-faced. No signs of any feelings either good or bad. Observant.]

Welcome back.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash hears the footsteps approaching and lifts his head just enough to get a good look at your shoulder. Of course it's covered, but Vash expected that and is trying to see how you're holding it. He remembers getting shot himself and feels pretty good for a man that just took several bullets - so you found a healer?

Oh wait, he remembers now. Nami had been here. If Nami had been here than Chopper was probably with her. Then at least you must have had pretty good care awhile he was out.]

Wolfwood... [He hangs his head, still not able to look you in the eye or face.] ...I'm so sorry.

[Voice | Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'm so relieved you're back to normal, Vash.

[Voice | Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Me too.

I'm sorry for all the nasty stuff I said to you.

[Voice] 8Db

[asobouyo]

[Let's throw in a little girl who totally missed why you're apologizing.]

Did... something bad happen, Mr. Bob...?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, something did. I guess... well, you could say someone messed with my head and I went a little crazy. So I said some really mean things and hurt a couple of my friends.

[Voice - Filtered]

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

...What, so you're not usually like that?

[Voice - Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

No, usually I'm nothing like that.

[Voice]

[illusional]

I believe it is safe to say no one was acting how they normally would these past few weeks.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Even so, most people didn't try to hurt people.

Vash! You're awake?

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

I am. [Wow, he actually managed to avoid you for most of this! He... doesn't need to say he's sorry, yet? Weird!]

[Private]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Because he knows you, Vash:]

Stop beating yourself up about it.

[Private]

[goldenglasses]

Sanji... I'm sorry, for all the things I've said the past few days.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

It's all right, Vash.

Try and take it easy on yourself; you didn't choose to be like that.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Even if I didn't I still did all those awful things.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

It's alright.

[Voice]

[There's a small noise that he heard you, but nothing else.]

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Nami? So you've fallen under the Malnosso's influence as well?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Ye- [Wait...]

Uh... what did you call me?

[Voice]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Ah, how relieving. Miyabi smiles when she hears Vash's voice, and is half tempted to fly right over to where he was and give him the biggest hug a 3/4 of an inch girl could give. Poor thing must be feeling awful.]

It's good to have you back again, big brother.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Miyabi... I'm sorry for the way I've been acting.





...thank you for the flower.

[kakeravoyager.livejournal.com]

You mean you weren't yourself? I would have never guessed.

[Being sarcastic of course, but she has a gift of not exactly sounded condescending. Take it as you will.]

[goldenglasses]

I'm sorry for what I said to you. [He's heard enough sarcasm to know when it's being to thrown into his face.]

[ Voice ]

[touchofrogue]

So you're back too.

[ Voice ]

[goldenglasses]

I am, and I'm sorry for what I've said to you.

[Same Filter, though adding a touch of his own away from the other residents]

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

[...] Don't worry about it. I take it you're saying it's because of the experiment, right?

[Private it is~!]

[goldenglasses]

I was, the Malnosso were making me think... much differently than I usually would.

[ voice ]

[acclimatized]

Good to see you're back to your senses.

[ voice ]

[goldenglasses]

It's good to be back... I'm sorry, for all the things I said to you. I didn't mean- I uh, now didn't mean any of it.

[Private]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[he was a child and elsewhere during the really dangerous time, and so doesn't quite know the extent of what Vash has to regret. But he still throws up a filter.]

I think quite a few people were more concerned with how hard you'd be on yourself afterward, for acting in a manner you couldn't control. [blunt with the force of particular conviction]

[Private]

[goldenglasses]

But I could have controlled it. I remember the decisions I made.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[ He was too distracted by being young, then older, then young again, then even older, then randomly dancing and at some point in there being a kung-fu dugong to talk to homicidal-Vash, but that means nothing for Usopp's post-following capabilities. Such as they are. ]

Experiments happen. All that stuff you were saying before doesn't mean anything now.

[ voice ]

[goldenglasses]

But I hurt a lot of people.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Nami is sick and doesn't have the patience for self-recriminations today.]

Get over it, Vash.

[goldenglasses]

[So mean Nami!] I'm sorry, but I can't just forget what I did.

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[She has a soft, sad smile as she listens to his message. It reminds her an awful lot of another blond right now.]

Hmm, I must be slipping. I should have known it was the experiment right at the start. But...I did figure it out.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

I'm so sorry, for all the things I said to you. It... wasn't a really nice way to re-introduce you to Luceti.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

[ Meryl missed this and she will be surprised if he comes home today. ]

[goldenglasses]

[Don't worry, Wolfwood dragged him home after knocking him out in the forest. So Vash is hiding out in his room and actually home! Luceti - the one thing it lacks is a town to skip to when things go bad.]

[Written]

[sonatasedge]

[After the last time they spoke, Soul as very little to say. And he's sick so talking hurts, thus you get written.]

Don't worry about it.

[Written]

[goldenglasses]

[And Vash, being an idiot, wonders if you just don't want to speak to him. So after grabbing a pen he writes back.]

I'm sorry, for all the things I said to you. I was wrong. [Yup, he's worrying about it anyway, as you're one of the people he talked to about how good of an idea killing everyone was.]

[Voice/Filter]

[knightofratatosk]

I... I understand what you mean. Even if you weren't acting like yourself, that still doesn't make you feel any better about it.

[Voice/Filter]

[goldenglasses]

Not at all...
