Crusader of love and peace

[The video feed starts up mid afternoon with Vash grinning into the camera. For those good at picking up differences in smiles there's a huge difference in Vash's today. You thought he was happy before by the way he smiled and acted? Well, now he's beaming because he's finally, truly happy. He's no longer just pretending and the reason will be pretty clear as he finishes setting up the camera so he can sit on his couch with a small boy on his lap.]

Hello, Luceti! [He nearly shouts the greeting. Hardly able to contain how happy he is.] Your local Vash the Stampede wanting to apologize for missing out on work and not being around. I'll be back at Azalea and Seventh Heaven soon! I've just been a bit busy! [He grins and bounces his leg to make the boy on his leg bounce slightly.] Right Noah?

[The boy nods, but stays quiet.] But we also have an important message as well! Ready, Noah? Just as I showed you, okay?

[Noah prepares by holding up his arm and looking up at Vash for confirmation as Vash clears his throat 'dramatically'.]

This world is made of- LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[As Vash shouts his message he and Noah both pump their arms back and forth. Vash more confidant and Noah a bit hesitant, but with a smile on his face. Back and forth they go as Vash continues to say the mantra. Fingers spread in a V shape when their arms are pulled back then the fingers cross together as the arms are pumped forward. Noah doesn't join with the shouting, but he seems to be having some fun with the arm movements.]

LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[And somewhere in the background, for those who can hear past the screaming, may be a priest shouting about not using his son to spread propaganda.]

( Introspective )

[Good morning Luceti! There's a happy boy greeting the camera this morning!]


Hello, Luceti! My name's Vash! I'm back again! Nicolas, Sanji, Miss Milly, and Miss Amelia! Hello! You're still here, right? [Nope. Vash had been told that people leave and come back from Luceti, but he's never returned and not had his friends around. He just always makes new ones.] Um, I think I'm at your house Nicholas because I found your cross I'm not suppose to touch. Where is everyone? There's no one home, but I found two cats! [They're amazing. He swings the camera around to show Kuroneko giving her son Donut a tongue bath.] They're really cute! Are they yours, Nicolas? I'm going to go walk around, okay? Tell me when you get back and I promise I'll come back! It's just... it's too quiet with just the cats. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed some shoes!

[After talking to someone who's not in Luceti anymore Vash puts on some clothes he doesn't realize belong to him. There will be a boy in a man's sweatshirt that dangles around his knees and in shoes five sizes too big that he has to shuffle in them until he gets to the clothing shop where he will find better fitting clothes.

Now that he has shoes he can easily run around in that's exactly what this tiny child will do. Don't be surprised that if you spend more than five seconds looking at him (even if it's just too wonder about that knee long hair) you'll have a small, slightly shy boy waving back at you.] Um- hello! [He's shy, but he so very badly wants to make friends.

His new favorite thing? The playground near the school. He'll be all over that. Possibly getting stuck on the jungle gym. Why did he climb so high?

Although eventually he can't ignore the fact that Wolfwood never answers his call. None of them do. With no where else to go he'll return to the apartment he awoke in, but it's so quiet, even with the cats, that he gets a little scared and will open the journal to hear the noise of other people. Without the excitement of meeting new people and seeing new things Vash suddenly was badly missing his brother and Rem.]

Um. Does anyone know any good bedtime stories? [Going to bed without one just seemed wrong.]

Community House 4 and Forest
[Vash is looking much more like his old self today. Dressed in his red coat and hair spiky once more, but more than that he's no longer depressed beyond belief. The first thing he did when he woke up in Community Housing 4 with no memory how he got there and a set of strange white wings was to well - panic! Once he was sure the wings weren't part of his Plant powers going haywire he dared a look out the window and- whoa. That was not Gunsmoke outside.

This called for exploring of the wide eyed and gaping kind. Vash makes a bee line for the forest and stands around, hand on his mouth, and cries. So many trees and is that- it is. It's a river he'll follow the flowing water for some time. Amazed at it's beauty.]

Bakery
[Eventually he does find a building that seems to be full of baked goods. Now those donuts look delicious! He'll stand around and call to see if anyone remembers that they work at the bakery. If no one answer his call, well, you can't let a good donut go to waste now can you!? His quick hand nabs one and ah! Heaven!] They're so good! Sweet little cake made of-

[He trails off, running out the door and out the side of the building to become violently sick. Well, that was weird. Better eat a donut to clear out that nasty taste in his mouth! He heads back in to eat another only it sends him running for a safe place to throw up once more.]

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE DONUTS!? [Maybe he's been sent to hell!

Not that he'll let that stop him. Okay, it stops him for an hour or two as he cries over not being able to apparently eat any baked good and warning people from trying them and being sick themselves.]

Voice

[Vash couldn't help notice all the kids that seem to be in this village. If they were feeling as apprehensive as he was at waking up in a strange place with wings maybe they could use a bit of fun. He eventually finds himself a ball and starts kicking it around the square. Even picking up that weird book he found and giving it a shake or two. He knows he found a voice function somewhere on here- ah! There it is.]

Hey there! Don't know if this is some dream or something, but I found a ball and it's a good day outside! Come out to that fountain and we'll get some sort of game going! It'll be fun! Just look for the guy in the big red coat! The name's Vash!

[Until anyone shows up Vash will be bouncing the ball up and down to practice a bit and whoops-! Watch out! Loose ball!]

Pretty Much Everywhere Else

[When not playing with children or avoiding poisoned bakeries Vash will be wandering here, there, and everywhere. Trying to get some clue as to where he is or what has happened. He's not shy so even if you're character is just standing around he'll be happy to strike up a conversation to see if they know what's going on. Find Vash just about anywhere!]
