[Today is the day Vash hates the most out of the year. The anniversary of the “Big Fall”. The day the ships crashed into the planet Gunsmoke. The day Rem died. He heads out early and quietly, his usual smile gone, he can’t even muster enough energy to put up the mask of a smile he usually wears.

Most of the day he’ll be sitting quietly around the square to people watch. Seeing people going about their days, looking happy to be alive, usually helps, but not today. Eventually he takes out the harmonica he’s been learning how to play and attempts to play Sound Life, but can’t get it just right. He gives up after a couple attempts and bows his head into his hands.]
  I’m sorry Rem… I haven’t… I… [I killed someone. I haven’t taken care of Knives. I left you. You were here and I wasn’t there to protect you again… And now he’s crying.

Later, when he can get a hold of himself, he’ll wander out deep, deep into the forest. A spot he picked because he felt not many people visited this area. This is where he planted the flowers that Rem left behind. He tends to them and spends a few hours practicing the Earth magic he knows.

As it starts to grow dark and cold he winds up at Good Spirits. He‘s got a bottle of whisky next to him up at the bar, but he‘s nursing that glass in front of him. Glasses pushed up on his head, even if he is indoors, and head bowed. He‘s not crying, just exhausted after a trying day.]

((I can't remember if they've ever exchanged names... orz))

[Sees you in the forest!] They have grown up nicely, haven't they?

[Okay, the crying gets her attention. Worried, Terra wanders over.]

Vash? What's wrong?

[Jack slides into a seat at the bar beside his friend and orders a bottle of rum. It's going to be a long night.]

Evenin', Vash-lad.

[She moves to sit beside him, though mindful to give him plenty of room.]

I'm sorry. Did they return home?

[Terra sighs.]

It's hard, being separated from friends like that. Even if they're better off, it's impossible not to miss them.

[HOLY SHIT YOU'RE IN THE BAR. /CREEPS IN. Raven was enjoying a nice drink at his table, when he finally catches a glimpse of Vash in the corner of his eye. Oh, he's seen that guy before, so let's shuffle on over and be annoying.]

Hey pal, what's got ya so down?

[Poor guy. She chews her lip.]

Would it help to talk about it? Or is there something else that would make you feel a little better?

9 o'clock on a Saturday...

[Walking in from the cold and bitter wind was the samurai, a scarf tucked around his face and hat tilted down. As he removed tilted the hat back and uncurled the simple scarf, Jack caught sight of his new-found friend sitting at the bar, a heavy weight it seems on his shoulders. Quietly, Jack walked to stool next to the gunfighter and took a seat. He asked in a soft voice:] Long day?

There's a reason I'm out here at the pub, Harold. I can do nothing with him at the moment, he's pining for Barbossa. You look to be pining a bit yourself.
all7seas: (I'll just sit here and bleed at you)

Come now. Not your usual "fight for peace" self tonight, are you...

Any trouble? You know I'd stand at your side, sword in hand, Vash-lad. Or at the very least I'd yell out horribly insulting things to your enemies from a safe distance away.

[She nods, understanding that.]

Okay. But if you change your mind...I'll be around.

[He doesn't believe you.]

Well I've worlds of trouble on my hands with that creature. He ate all of my Pop Tarts this morning. I woke to a horrible mess.
