Crusader of love and peace

[Vash, for some reason he couldn't explain, woke up this morning realizing he had been wasting his life. Love and peace was not the way to go. What was he ever even thinking? No, to get ahead in life one has to steal, lie, and cheat.

He starts off small. Taking random things from the living room into his bedroom. At first it's exciting, but when no one even notices the missing cookbook he realizes he'll have to try for something bigger. After stealing Wolfwood's cigarettes he starts to feel just a bit better, but he needs to think bigger.

Vash is going to attempt to steal things from all around town. Although, he's not very good at it. Seeing as he loves to boast loudly right before his theft or after. For anyone not around at the time their stuff is taken - it will be hidden somewhere in his room. And if you are home then maybe you'll hear Vash right before he breaks in.]

MUW HA HA HA! It's the perfect plan! I'll just sneak inside and steal all their batteries! They'll go nuts trying to get their things to power on! HAHAHAHHAHA! [Too bad Vash fails to check and see if there's anyone home before he goes barging in to steal an item.

Later on in the week as he feels his villain streak growing he'll at some point make his way to the roof of the grocery store.]

HAHAHA! FOOLISH MORTALS! Just you wait! Once I have learned and harnessed the powers of all the spirits within Luceti I will become UNSTOPPABLE! MUW HA HA HA! And then I will RULE this tiny village and eventually the WORLD! BUW HA HA HA HA! BUW HA! HA! HA! HA!



(OOC: Feel free heroes to either stop Vash and fight him or to be robbed! He's a villain, but not a very good one. Vash won't be stealing anything too big or important (unless you WANT him to, or if it's for comedy - say he's attempting to steal a huge fridge.) so if you want him to steal something, he'll be making a post after the event to return things. Or, just calling him stupid works too.)

[Early this morning the droids had swooped down on Vash during one of his regular trips through the woods. They came fast and hit hard so he had no time to give warning, but it's alright. As he was back by the afternoon, his journal falling open on the ground as he's returned. Only it shows a small boy with long, blond hair with a blindfold over his eyes, a pointy, party hat on his head, and a small strip of paper in his hand. The boy feels around blindly for a moment.]

Come on guys. Am I getting close? Why's it suddenly so cold. Knives? Rem? [A pause and he flails his arms a bit more.] ...Joey? Is this some kind of joke, because I don't really like it. [Finally he pushes up the blindfold.] Hey! This isn't the ship! [There's a pause, and suddenly a smile breaks out on the boy's face.] This is Luceti, isn't it!?



[He looks around, finally spotting the journal and quickly picking it up.] Hi everyone! The snow's all gone! I went home for a little bit, but now I'm back! Is Nicholas still here? Or Sanji?

[Then suddenly, his smile breaks into a pout.] HEY! I didn't even get a piece of cake yet! [That's just not fair!]

[Tiny Vash will be making his way to the village to explore everything again. He'll be sure to stop by the Flower Shop also the bakery and Seventh Heaven for food. Also the clothing store as his clothes aren't exactly early spring appropriate. He'll also play around the fountain for a bit. Feel free to run into him anywhere!

Of course, for the next couple weeks he'll also be staying at House 5 causing mischief for the Trigun members.]

[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.]

[It's late at night and he's camped out in one of the new feather stations. Like most nights this past week he's unable to sleep. He misses Rem and Meryl had been gone for so long. What could they be doing to her? It made him feel so helpless, he couldn't save and protect anyone he cared about. Meryl... she must be so scared. And Rem, he had left her again. Would he ever see her again?

And what would she think if she saw him now? What would either of them think? He still didn't really want to go home. To be faced with that empty room, but Wolfwood and the girls were still there. What if Wolfwood left one day too? He didn't want to think about it. He hated this, but what else could he do? Nothing. Nothing, but keep moving forward.

He knows he's not getting any sleep tonight. So he leaves the station, cleaning it up before he goes. He takes a long walk through the dark and quiet woods. It's early morning by the time he reaches the village. Nothing, but keep moving forward. So he heads for the bakery, a smile on his face and orders a dozen donuts. Starting off slow and easy, he takes his haul to the fountain to watch the village wake up and eat his breakfast.]

Mmmhmm! Wow! These sure are tasty! That just baked freshness! It's amazing! Super moist! AHAHA! The perfect way to start a day!

[Donuts done, he visits the flower shop. Checking on the flowers and helping to care for the ones that need it. Once they're all watered to perfection he moves onto the item and grocery shop to pick up a few supplies for home. He doesn't really know what they need after being gone for so long, but really he's just stalling.

Finally, once he has a small bag of supplies in hand he heads home. He heads up to the door and enters the house as if he hadn't just run away for a week.] Hey guys, I got some bread, cheese, and ham if anyone wants a sandwich! [And with that "I'm home" announcement, Vash sets to putting away what he got and making himself a sandwich to sit down and eat. As he chews he thinks about the written message Milly had made and decides he has to do one last thing before trying to put this behind him.]

[Voice // 100% Filtered from Legato]

Sorry if I worried anyone. I'm alright. Man, it's been getting cold out lately! Do you think it will snow soon? All the leaves changing colors has been pretty, but I think the forest looks so sad when they're all down until the snow comes!

[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.]

[Vash has started to keep to himself more the past couple days. Rem's arrival had almost made him forget this day, but he could never really forget.

Today he heads out early, trying to leave the new house before anyone else is awake. He finds a spot near the fountain to do some early morning people watching before getting up and heading to the bakery. He stops outside, knowing this isn't really where he wants to be, it's just habit. He turns and heads to the flower shop instead. He doesn't stay long, just long enough to make sure that everything is still running smooth without Aerith.

He checks the time to duck over to Good Spirits quickly. He wants to be there and gone before Meryl's shift. He orders a couple of beers before he starts growing restless again. This wasn't right either. What was he suppose to do on this day? How could he ever fix this mistake?

Without much thought he grabs a couple bottle and heads out into the forest. He walks for a bit before just sitting down against a tree inspecting his find. People said this blue stuff was strong, now seemed to be a good time to try it out.

Some point in his drinking his journal falls out of his pocket and starts to record. For awhile it records very little until suddenly-]

CRASH!

[There's the sound of a whiskey bottle shattering as it's thrown against a tree. It's followed by silence that is slowly broken by soft sobs.]

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. I - I didn't mean to.

(ooc: Anyone who wants to talk to Vash before he gets himself drunk is free to call for him over the journals! He'll have it on him all day! Or run into him pretty much anywhere.)

[The feed starts with what looks like Vash standing next to one of C4's outside walls while swaying gently side to side. One arm streched up above his head.]

Um, heh, sorry Meryl, but I don't think I'm going to make it home for dinner tonight. Wolfwood you can have my share, and do you think you could make sure to take Kuro- [Suddenly there's a violent shake as Vash is pulled... upwards? As he looks up to shout the video gets a slightly clearer image of what he's up to.

He's tied a couple sheets together and jumped out a window. And yes, those are droids attempting to pull him back up it.] Geeze! Can't you give a guy a minute!? The length I have to go through to leave a message...

[There's another strong tug as Vash gives a shout and nearly drops his journal as he hangs on for dear life.]

AH! Make sure Kuroneko gets looked at! [Tug.] Milly don't worry, I'll be back soon! [Tug.] Amelia, do you think you can water my flowers for me? [Tug.]

Whoops. This is my stop. I promise to be back as soon as I can, alright? [With that he swings on the sheet and crashes through a lower floor window. If that's your window he just crashed through? He's sorry, but he doesn't have time to clean it up. He has an army of droids to take on a running tour of the village before they finally catch him and drag him off to places unknown.]

[The video starts with a rapid, bouncing motion of the sky as if the book had just been dropped and landed on it's spine before falling open. It's quickly followed by a long yell and a LOUD splash! The image bobs up and down a moment before slowly the book starts to slide and tip over. Water starts to creep up and take over the screen as there's another splash and the sound of a man taking a LARGE breath of air.]

AHHH! Oh man, I think I saw a bright light that time! Or maybe that was the su-[Glub! Opps! No time to try to relax just yet. Luckily there's another gasp shortly after that.] GAAHH! This swimming thing is hard- [Opps, there went the journal. There's a muffled yell before the book is yanked up and out of the water.]

Oh man... it's soaked. [At last there is a view of a rather wet Vash, staring into the journal as he clutches onto a small piece of drift wood. That's a LOT of water behind him.]

Uh... is this thing still working? Ahahaha... heeeey there guys. No need to worry! But I uh, won't be home tonight. Or... uh... maybe a week. [He glances up. A big revealed grin shows up on his face.] Oh good! I can see the mountains from here! Now I know which wa- [Whoops, he got a little too excited, the book joins him back under water as he flips over his little piece of wood. It takes only a few moments for him to surface again.]

Aiaiaiiaiai... man that's cold and was that... salt? I'll just be home as fast as I can, okay?

[April fools. Vash remembers that day and he has been planning. So what if he was a little late! He had been planning this since he was pranked LAST year, more so after Wolfwood had shown up. He wasn’t going to miss it just because he had spent a week as an… octopus thing… If you have CR with Vash and can take a joke - you can bet there might be a little surprise waiting for you. For starters outside your front doors there is a silly mask hanging by a string at eye level. Intended to give you a slight fright as you head out your door in the morning! All the dish soap in the restaurants and bar have been replaced with syrup and condiment tops have been unscrewed. There may be a bucket of water rigged on one of the doors in Seventh Heaven for a certain chef. Those being one of the few places he could safely sneak into/around during the night. But oh… there will be more for later in the day, but for the morning there are more high jinxes to be found in C4.

Starting with ground zero: his own apartment. The center of that being Wolfwood’s room and seems to move outwards. ( Trolling his roommates )

The pranks spill out into all of C4! All of the milk that he could find has been dyed a very light green color. No reason to think it went sour is there? Any cereal boxes he’s found have been switched. Trying to pour some cheerios? Sorry, you have Fruit Loops now. In fact, just be careful opening any cupboard in those shared kitchens. Many are filled with ping pong balls. Also, careful with that salt and pepper, their tops have been unscrewed.

As for friends - you’re pranks come a little later once he can sneak into your houses. Feel free to find any of the ones listed above or your own! (SO LONG AS IT’S HARMLESS!) Maybe Vash switched the drawers of your clothes around. Now your shirts are where your underwear should go and your underwear where your pants should be!

As for who’s to blame? It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Vash has left a little calling card with each prank that lists - BELATED APIRL FOOLS! As for where to find him? That’s a bit more tricky. For you see, Vash has taken his flowers and moved temporarily into room 21 of CH6. No, he doesn’t know he just temporarily moved in with Legato, Yuber, and a bunch of other badies. All he knows is that building was far from CH4 and the square.]

Happy April Fools everyone! Sorry, I was late, it was hard to get ready without thumbs! [And here the recording just breaks into obnoxious laughter.]

(ooc: Also as the idea was only just brought to me - if you'd like to thread out with your house hold with finding pranks together feel free to do it in this post. I also love to encourage thread jacking and hopping! Just have fun!)

[Standard Villain Filter with emphasis again Knives, Legato, and Yuber // 100% Unhackable]

Those of you who met a little girl during the last experiment, who might have said her name was Tesla, she was not a little girl. She was my brother, Knives. He was looking for me and if you told him you knew me, [a pause] you could be in danger. I’m sorry, but any of my friends, even if you don’t know me that well, [even if you don’t know me] you shouldn’t leave yourself unprotected. I don’t know what he might be thinking or planning, but he’s never treated people I know very well.

Knives looks a lot like me, but with shorter and lighter hair. He also has a man named Legato working for him. He has blue hair and yellow eyes. Stay away from them if you can. If they come after you, call for help. They are very strong and have mental abilities that can turn even the strongest fighter into a rag doll. Please, do not go after them on your own.

[After answering the questions people may ask, Vash decides to work off some of this building frustration and anger towards his brother. He’s at the battle dome and he’ll be in there until he’s kicked out, finger bleeding, shooting at anything the simulation will throw at him without killing the targets. Feel free to catch him setting everything up or as he’s coming out.]
