[It's nearly time to leave. Vash is all packed and ready to leave in the next couple days. So he takes a couple hours out of each day before the departure to do some walking down memory lane. Over five years. Never before had he ever stayed in one location for so long since The Fall.

There's the house where he lived with his family. The bakery that gave him so many donuts and he once broke into with an old man and a pirate. Good Spirits where he spent many nights. Seventh Heaven where had some of the best food of his life. He sits at his favorite spot next to the fountain for people watching. So many hours spent here just watching people.

Walking through the forest to remember what the world looks like in green. A quick teleport to the beach to see the ocean on last time. It was still so breathtaking. The smells, sounds, and the magnitude he'll never forget.

He lingers at the flower shop where he got to spend every day surrounded by flowers. He hopes whoever decides to stay will take care of the place. He takes a few of the flowers and presses them into his journal. He tries to use older entries in the hopes he won't pester everyone else with sudden flowers, but today he just really doesn't care too much. He wants to take some of this color back with him to the desert.

Perhaps it will even catch a moment where Vash talks out loud to himself for your character her hear.]

I... I don't want to go.

(OOC: Literally catch Vash ANYWHERE. He will be visiting all locations of Luceti as he tries to remember it all before he has to make a choice to stay or go.)

Current Mood: nostalgic

[Vash has been very busy the last couple days since returning from the past. He'd been pouring over his journal. Reading what had been changed and what hadn't. It also took him a day to really get up the courage to ask. What if things had changed so much that Noah no longer existed?

Early morning on Monday he opens his journal.]

Who do I need to speak with about kids who have been removed from Luceti? And about getting them back? I want to know more about Noah Wolfwood.

[Please. Please don't tell him that he's no longer there. He's hoping that now things have changed (for the better it seems) he's hoping maybe he could now get the boy back.

While he waits for someone to see his question and respond Vash will be trying to get his life into a somewhat normal routine again. Visiting Seventh Heaven to do his job of helping out there for the morning. For lunch he'll be stopping by the bakery for his normal doughnut haul and eating them while people watching near the fountain. Later in the day he'll also be working at the flower shop. He'll also take a wander through the forest to see if anything had changed very much before he ends his night at Good Spirits for a couple drinks before bed.]

Current Mood: hopeful

[Accidental Voice]

[Vash had been mentally preparing himself for this day. Yet, he still wasn't ready when May 9th came around. The day his life had changed forever. For whatever reason his journal kicks itself on and it catches sight of Vash cleaning a large cross. Only one of the arms is open showing a row of handguns. Vash is very carefully giving the Cross Punisher a full tune up and cleaning. At the moment he's got one of the smaller handgun apart and checking it for any possible malfunctions before giving it a cleaning and putting it back in it's place.]

Hard to believe it's been another year already. [He talks out loud to himself. Or his two cats as he's unaware the journal turned itself on.] Noah would be two years old today. I'm sure that kid is doing just fine. After all, with parents like that no wise person would stand a chance messing with him.

[He dabs at an eye that's starting to water.] Don't worry; kid. We haven't given up on you. It may take a little more time, but I promise to find you. I will. [His hands slip and he ends up dropping part of the gun. With a soft chuckle he picks it up again. Dropping things when no one was around to see. It just wasn't like him.] Heh. Opps.

[Vash falls quiet as he continues on his chore. His back turned to the camera, but he often drops things and has to pick them up again. The outlaw's shoulders start to shake the more his fingers fumble and yes, those are soft sobs that can be heard. Thinking he's alone he's not at all ashamed by his tears.] I just... I really hope- where ever you are... I hope you have a happy birthday, Noah.

[Action]

[When he's finished his task Vash will clean himself up and hit up his usual haunts as he leaves the ice building. Helping with the flowers at Azalea. Working with a happy smile and having lunch at Seventh Heaven. Now that his death penalty was removed he'll pick up a "light" snack of a dozen doughnuts from the bakery. Munching them as he takes a short walk around the forest before winding up in Good Spirits to end the day.]

Current Mood: crushed

[All Vash had been expecting was to finish his night at Good Spirits, go home, and sleep. Coming home to find droids kidnapping the girl who lives next to him was not in the plans. He awakens early Saturday with a pounding headache and sore muscles. He really hasn't had a very good March so far. Falling in love, vampires, and droids. He's had just about enough as he reaches for his journal.

He tries to hold it so the destruction of the apartment can't be seen and besides the beaten look in his expression he doesn't look too worse for wear.] I'm sorry to anyone who is friends with Adela, but she'll be missing from work for a little while. [He hates these kinds of announcements and hopes people understand from just that what has happened. Still better to note what's happened then leave her friends wondering if she had been sent home.

Vash will take time to clean up the apartment as best he can and put things to right. Once it's done he'll be taking himself to Good Spirits and spend most of the day there drinking. It may not help the bruises he got last night or his bruised feelings, but he can sure pretend it does!

Some days. He really hates Luceti.]

Current Mood: crappy

[Vash was having a good night for the most part. He had woken up in the middle of it - thought someone had come in, but no one had. Still had a pretty nice sleep up until he gets up and out of bed. This would be because he has just placed his feet into some very cold water. He lets out a very unmanly shriek as he leaps from the bed. Once his feet are dry he exits his bedroom to find-OW! What- what is that chair- oh come on! His furniture too?

After checking to make sure Wolfwood's cross is safe and all weapons he's hidden around the place accounted for a bedraggled Vash appears over the journals. Still dressed in his long sleeved pajamas and hair in a mess of bedhead. He also may be rubbing at his shin.]

So, last year was elves. Did anyone else get their apartment re-arranged or was it just me? [This just HAS to be something with Malnosso, right? Right?] If it wasn't Malnosso who was it?! [Most of the people Vash would have guessed to pull on prank on him have been sent home or don't remember him if they are still here.]

Getting so a guy can't even walk around in his own home anymore!

[Action]

[Later once Vash has put his place back to rights he'll be less angry. He visits the flower shop, grocery store, and the town square. At the square he'll be doing some people watching and feeling a bit prankish himself now a stray snowball or two may be flying at characters as they walk by.

He'll end his day in Good Spirits for a quiet drink.]

Current Mood: surprised

( Introspective )

People visiting Good Spirits will see Vash dressed in a pair of jeans, a long sleeved button up shirt, with his long hair down around his face hunched over his journal. Flipping through it quickly. Playing bits and pieces of older entries. Then finally, there she was. A woman with black hair that he couldn't recognize, yet was talking to her in the past like she was the world to him. Who was this Rem?

Could his memory of her be lost from a death? But he couldn't eat baked goods anymore, that was his penalty for dying as a zombie, wasn't it? Could someone get two death penalties? Or- had he been killed without even realizing it?

Not only that, but he could tell just reading some of his past entries that he thought very differently when this woman was around. Just who was she?

Maybe it was the fact that he was drinking. Or the idea that if he wanted to fix this he'd have to leave himself open to John and the idea didn't sit well with him. Either way he eventually makes a post to Luceti at large.]

If you forgot someone, how important would it be for you to remember? Even if you thought remembering them would change you? The way you think? Would you want to remember even if the memories were bad and you probably won't meet them ever again?

[As the way Knives talked it seemed like Rem has been dead for some time in his world.

Eventually Vash will be sending out a private message out to John.]

Current Mood: contemplative

[Vash was sore. Spending several weeks combat testing for the Malnosso was a pain, but the points he earned that he one day hoped to spend on seeing Noah one day were hopefully worth it.

Long hair still tied back in a pony tail, wearing the green long sleeve shirt and brown pants that he wore during the combat tests, and sporting a few new bruises and a slight limp, he drops himself in Good Spirits first. Needing a good stiff drink.

It's while nursing his fourth or fifth drink that he eventually opens the journal.]

[Filtered 100% from Knives]

Hey there. I'm back. Sorry, I was gone a little longer than expected. Hope things weren't too hectic at Seventh Heaven without me. I'll be back to work tomorrow. Oh, and as long as things are working normally around here still, welcome to all the New Feathers. Hope your stay here won't be too horrible or long!

[For the next few hours Vash will be working his way through a bottle of whiskey. Then it's off to the grocery store to restock his apartment. Speaking of which, the very moment he gets back to community building four he'll be attacked by a couple cats who have missed their favorite scratching post. Feel free to run into him at any point in his wanderings today.

After relaxing just a bit at home, Vash does finally decide to open his journal just once more.]

[Private to Knives // 100% Unhackable]

I'm back. [It's all that's said for now. He's not really sure he wants to talk to his brother anyway. Still, one never does make the best choices while buzzed.

It's later on when he finally checks his calender and sees just what day it is. Or close to. July 21st. They just had to bring him back in time to remember the anniversary of the destruction of the city of July. He was going to need a lot more alcohol over the next couple days.]

Current Mood: blah

[The first thing Vash remembered was the grass prickling on his back. When he opened his eyes and sat up he realized this was because he was stuck in those annoying new feather pants without a shirt once again. Man, what was with the Malnosso and stealing his clothes? At least his journal was nearby so that he could send out a message.]

[Voice filtered to Trigun Cast // 10% Unhackable]

Hey guys! I'm back and the right age finally! I'll be home in a bit, just got to stop by the clothing shop to find my coat. Anyone want anything from the shops while I'm out?

[Because it's no big, it's not like he just died or anything. He was just kidnapped and being turned back into the right age, right!?

It's while he's trying to be sneaky and get to the clothing store without being seen that he starts to notice something strange. The scars he had gotten fighting Yuber and a few Third Party members were gone. Not that it was that noticeable with all his other scars.

Which, being half naked in Luceti anyone is free to catch him all his ugly glory as he runs to find his coat.

After he finds his coat he'll be loitering around the bakery and Good Spirits. Drinking and eating every donut in sight! Catch him anytime!]

[Voice, after he's a bit drunk]

Does anyone know what's so great about those white pants and dresses? I wonder if the Malnosso have a thing for white... or for people to be embarrassed, yeah, probably that one. [God, he hates those pants.]

Current Mood: embarrassed

[Vash may have been turned into a 134 year old human, but he's sure as heck not letting that stop him. He's managed to find himself a walker with a seat on it so he can move around a bit and rest when he needs to. After the last few days of rain he decides he's going to head outside.

It's a long and slow trip. As he needs to take a lot of time to stop and rest, and with only one arm the walker is a little hard to push, but he'll eventually get to all his usual stops. Seventh Heaven, the Bakery, the Flower Shop, Good Spirits, and he'll also be spending some time around the fountain.

During his people watching by the fountain he'll pull out his journal.] That was some rain we just had. I just wish there was a better way to tell it was coming then my joints getting stiff and sore! Couldn't something nice happen instead? Mmhm... [He trails off. Forgetting what he was just talking about. A few minutes will pass then he'll notice his journal is open.] Oh! This silly book. I guess I should say something now that it's open. That was some crazy rain we just had! I just wish my joints wouldn't get so sore before it!

[Respond with cation people of Luceti. As Vash is in a bit of a rambling mood. He will continue to ramble on into the journal, often repeating himself, until he eventually falls asleep for a bit.

After his nap, which if no one comes by to wake him, may be a long one he'll work his way home to House Five. Where he'll sit himself down in the armchair he has basically claimed as his own during his old age to wait for supper.]

Current Mood: chipper

[Those who know Vash may have been noticing slight differences about him the past week to two weeks. He's not around as much, taking longer and longer walks through the forest. Visiting the spot where he once fought Wolfwood and Legato more and more.

Today he leaves his house extra early and spends most of the day at that spot. He has his journal and will answer it if someone wants to get a hold of him, but will not be using it himself. He'll return to the village later in the evening and finds a quiet place to sit at Good Spirits with a bottle of cheap whiskey.]

There's so much life in this place... and yet... [No one knows the terrible things I've done.]

[He'll be there until the place looks like it's about to close up before stumbling his way back home. It's on his way that he takes his journal out and speaks into it with the slightest slur to his voice.]

[Voice]

On this day, back home... the city of July was destroyed. I know - I know you all couldn't know the people there. I just, I just don't want them to ever be forgotten and how they lost everything in a single moment. [He stops speaking for a moment. His voice breaking as tears start to fall from his eyes.] And I'm so sorry.

Current Mood: depressed

[Ugh. What a week. Vash had not enjoyed his trip into space at all. Too many bad memories. When he's returned all he wants to do it fall into bed and sleep for a few days. He makes a swing to Good Spirit to grab a cheap bottle of whiskey to take home with him.

Ah! Good ol' house five! It was good to be home! Vash walks in, shouts that he's back to whoever might be home as he walks towards his room. He starts to remove his journal to leave a message for anyone who's not home - that is until it drops from his hand and turns on.

Get a good look at Vash's room Luceti. Or, what's LEFT of Vash's room. As that is a large tree branch that has utterly destroyed his wall and window while he was gone. There's a mini flood in his room caused by not only rain but some of his smashed snow glob collection too. Leaves. There were leaves EVERYWHERE. And where was his BED?! Oh, of course. Shattered under the weight of the branch.]

W-WHAT THE HELL!? WOLFOOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ROOM!?

[Is this some kind of revenge for the crib?]

[There's a small sight that shouldn't be to unusual at Good Spirits. It's Vash sitting at the bar chugging down a large pitcher of beer. What is NOT so usual is the fact that Vash is the wrong gender and dressed in a princess's dress. Seeing as there was no way he was going to go home looking like this for Wolfwood to find out he went to Good Spirits instead.

He lets out a large belch as he finishes the large glass in one go.]

Bartender! Another!

[Don't be surprised if a beautiful woman starts leering at any ladies in the bar at the moment. As Vash is getting pleasantly buzzed and at times forgetting he's not quite himself right now. At one point his journal flips open as he talks out loud to himself.]

Jeez, how can women stand these dresses? It's always getting in the way and I can't stop tripping on it! It also doesn't seem very useful if they have to go to... the... bathroom.

[Guess who just realized he can go into the promised land without getting smacked? Now to try this out. Vash walks into the girl's bathroom and - it's... very dull. Damn. Why didn't Luceti have a public bath or something!? This time he opens his journal on purpose.]

I don't suppose any girls wants to join me in a fun little girl's only trip to the hot springs do they? [>D]

[Sometime later, after the hot-springs if he manages to get anyone to go with him, Vash will be wandering around the fountain waiting to turn back. Damn, what is he going to do? It's starting to get dark. He can't go home looking like this! You know what would be good right now? Some donuts! Yeah! That's just what he needs! Only as he walks towards the bakery--

Poof!

Suddenly Vash found himself a lot shorter than he just was.]

OH CRAP! I wanted to change! But not like THIS!

[Vash will be waddling around in his new donut form trying to seek shelter from hungry people, feel free to find him anywhere! He's still teleporting so I mean ANYWHERE! Also, clicking the pictures will take you to a larger version.]

Current Mood: naughty

[Vash felt pretty crummy this morning when he woke up and realized he had once again fallen in love with another girl. Every year! How does he fall for it every year!? Oh man, he just knows Meryl is going to yell at him big time for this. Maybe he should just get it all out of the way, but man, she's sleeping in really late today.

He taps gently on her room door and peeks his head in.] Meryl? Are you up? Listen I- [Empty. Her room is completely empty. It couldn't really be empty could it? After spending almost a week in love and kissing the wrong person, she couldn't really be gone. Could she?

But the room is still empty. Quietly he'll find the Milly, Wolfwood, and Amelia if they're home to let them know before making a voice announcement.]

[Voice]

For anyone that knew her, I'm sorry. Meryl was sent back home. It's alright, she was in a very safe place there.

[Vash will be visiting Good Spirits shortly after. Wanting to let the workers there know of her return home in case they missed his message. Anyone who wants to find Vash can find him there, at the flower shop, or at home, but not the bakery today.]

Current Mood: numb

[Today Vash was out enjoying the snowfall. He hit the usual places, the flower shop, the bakery, Good Spirits for a drink. He did a little people watching near the fountain before finally hitting the item shop. Where he found a pair of skates that just happened to be his size.

He thought it over for a bit, then decided: what else did he have to do today? So off he went towards the nearest lake and strapped the ice skates on. Only he found out fairly quickly that ice skates don't work so well when the ice is covered in snow.

So after putting his boots back on, another trip back to the item shop, he returns with a shovel and clears an area. Alright! He can do this! He puts the ice skates back on, stands up, and-

-promptly falls over.]

WHAAAAAAAAAA! [Over and over again. He'll slowly start to get the hang of it, but feel free to come and laugh or help him until that point. At one point his journal will even fall out of his pocket. So feel free to also point and laugh at him from the comfort of your own, warm home!]

Yiyiayiyiaia Ow. That really hurt.

Current Mood: enthralled

( Action for Meryl )
[Once he's been up for a bit and has assured his household that he's alright he starts to get a bit restless. It's hard to believe that you've been asleep for over a week. So he eventually leaves the house with the intention of taking a nice long walk. Of course he'll stop at the flower shop, bakery, and forest. Can't ignore those favorite spots. Although he also has a few odd stops on his list today.

Like looking around Luceti for

fallenambitions with a cat in his arms. Hermes seems to taken after his mother by showing up in random places - like Vash's bed. So Vash is here to return him before Wolfwood found out. After finding

fallenambitions and returning his cat; Vash then heads for the Battle Dome. He hasn't practiced for over a week, he doesn't want to risk getting rusty.

So he runs a few simulations. Usually with the dials set to random encounters, he's always worked best on his feet, but there are a couple bandit mobs that he programs into it. He practices until the room forces him to take a break so he opens his journal to make a voice post.]

[Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable] Hey! So I was w-[Broken filter] Hm? [Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable] -was wondering with all these dif- [Broken filter] [He takes a moment to check his filter once more. It looks fine.] [Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable] One... tw- [Broken filter]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Yes! YES! I can hardly believe it! Oh! THIS IS A GREAT DAY! AHAHA! He's gone! He's gone! WHOO HOO! He's finally gone! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[And whatever he WAS going to ask is COMPLETELY forgotten about as he shouts for joy. This calls for a drink! Out of respect for Legato's fate he won't be getting drunk, but it just feels so good knowing he no longer needs to worry about his friends suddenly walking off without a trace anymore. Then again, he's never needed to be drunk to be loud and obnoxious so as he heads over to Good Spirits he cracks his journal open once more.]

EVERYONE! I have an important announcement to make! It's important that we all remember that this land and every land! is made of love! And peace!

Current Mood: awake

[Vash has been walking out in the woods more so than normal the past few days. Keeping his eyes open for a certain short insurance girl as he walks. Although he's disappointed once again in his search his eyes have noticed something else in the woods today. So amazing that he can't help but to talk out loud to himself.]

Huh, the trees are already starting to change color again? I guess that means it's almost time for fall again. Time sure does fly sometimes.

[Speaking of time flying, that reminds him of something. So he pulls his journal out of his pocket and makes a voice recording.]

[Voice // Filtered from Legato AND Milly 100% Unhackable]

Hey there everyone! I have a very important announcement today! It's Milly's birthday on the 24th so make sure to wish her a happy one then! Oh, and she likes pudding, so I'm sure she'd love it if you happen to stop by with some. [Poor Milly, her best friend is missing and her boyfriend is too young to really remember her for her birthday.] She could use some cheering up, so please try to remember.

[And to keep his thoughts from being too sad.]

And if you just so happen to bring some donuts by with you if you visit that would be great too!

[With that said Vash will wander the forest for a little while longer before he gives up the search for the day. He has a few places to go today. Like hitting Seventh Heaven for some lunch. From there he'll visit the flower shop and bakery before hitting the grocery shop to pick up groceries on his way home. Later that night when little kids should be in bed he'll make a stop to Good Spirits.]

Current Mood: worried

[Vash has spent the last couple weeks as he usually does after a draft. Lost in thought over a lost Eden and mostly just a waiting game for the nightmares at night to stop. With many trips out to the forest to a certain flower patch and Good Spirits.

The last couple days though, he's found there's a slight change in his way of thinking. Maybe he had been wrong all of this time. It all seemed so clear now. Sometimes it was just better and easier if certain people died. How much happier and how many more good people would be alive if he had figured that out sooner.

Today instead of the forest he finds a new place to sit with his thoughts. They may not be apples, but still finds it comforting to sit under a mikan tree, idly watching a spider hard at work making a web.

After some time, he decides that's that's too much depressing thought for one day. Time to hit up Good Spirits! He takes the long way there, weaving through the forest before finally arriving to his destination, and after a few drinks he's feeling much better! So much better it's let him think about someone else that's been on his mind lately.]

Hey guys, is it just me or has the cat been getting really fat lately? I swear I haven't been sneaking her any treats. [Yes he has.] And man! It's been hot! Makes me miss the winter! Not as hot as a desert, but I think I've had enough of being hot for more than ONE lifetime! AHAHAHA! [It's been awhile since Vash has made a totally unfiltered voice post. After all, no need to worry about who's listening in when you have plans to shoot to kill anyone who messes with your friends.

When the drinks are done Vash makes sure to visit and lend a hand at the flower shop. (Don't worry, he wouldn't dream of going there drunk!) Before finally heading home, but not first without making a stop to the bakery for some donuts to bring back with him!]

Current Mood: thoughtful

[You may have noticed a small child running around Luceti the past couple days. Vash has discovered the best way to cope with missing Rem and Knives is to run around all of Luceti and watching all the people. He climbed the fountain, tried out every sitting place he could find, and built a snowman or two around the plaza. He’ll be visiting the clothing store when his winter gear gets too wet. He’ll grow rather starry-eyed as he visit’s the item stop and sees all the fun things in there. The bakery he’s found is full of yummy food!

He’ll even visit Good Spirits at some point today. A lot of people seem to like going in there for some reason. Of course, it doesn’t look too exciting once he gets in there, but he’ll stay for a bit. Not even some of the community buildings are safe. When he needs to warm up for a bit he pops right in. So maybe there’s an unfamiliar child standing in your shared kitchen.

Later he’ll also go running around in the forest. He loves all the trees. And no, he still hasn’t learned his lesson about not climbing them. He just HAD to see if there were any eggs in that nest above his head! Of course there weren’t any, but maybe your character will hear a child crying about being stuck in a tree. Again.

Of course all this running around will leave a child tired. When he’s finally too tired to move and thoughts of Rem and Knives come flooding back he tries to distract himself by talking into that book he was given.]

So… um… time really stands still back home? So, I won’t miss anything? I can bring things back with me, right? [He reaches into his coat pocket and feels the package of seeds Miyabi gave him, but while he thinks of that another idea strikes him.] What would you give someone for their birthday?

(OOC: Last chance to run into tiny!Vash as he’s growing up later tonight!)

Current Mood: curious

[Vash has decided to escape the rain this evening by ducking into Good Spirits. He’s been doing better since losing Rem. The pain of losing her is still fairly fresh, but no longer a shock. And now that the initial shock is over, Vash is starting to recall certain things.

He begins to think about heading home. Meryl has the day off and she’d be waiting at home and…

And…

And…

And… holy crap! Meryl kissed him! His hand hovers over his chin and his face turns bright red as he suddenly stands up, tipping over the stool he had been sitting on.]

Oh man! What do I do now!? Do I… do something!? [Starts pacing up and down the bar, staring up at the ceiling, hands clasped against his head as if no one was in the bar with him.] I should do something, but… it’s a little late for that! Oh man! WHAT DO I DO!?

Current Mood: shocked
