That week of surviving together and just barely scraping by and sleeping under the stars got me thinking, you know? We have a lot we take for granted here. I take it for granted, anyway.
I'll be fine, thanks to the diagrams Klarth and Ginko were showing people on how to identify plants and things. So, is it all right if I take a vacation from work for a few weeks? Maybe it'll be more...I think I want to just see where my feet take me. I promise I'll come back if it looks like I can't handle it!
Ah, Sealand was your name, right? Keep a good eye on our room while I'm out, all right? XD *hasn't even introduced himself, and now he's saying goodbye for a few weeks?! how nice..*
[Filter to Ren]
I don't know what got into me last week..
I'm sorry for my attitude.
(( This is just a little IC explanation for why I'll be hiatusing Vash for a big chunk of time really soon. His muse is in such bad shape after all the crap I've made him go through, and I want to reread Trigun and try to give this guy a reason to keep on having a good time on the island. He still has Ren, Yomiko, Klarth, Mokona, and a few other friends here, so I don't want to give up on him...! ))
Oy geez, that's just... *sigh* =_=
[ And he's quiet during the days of survival and cold weather and uncertainty. He helps collect firewood and cooperates with Ike and the other folks when there's something to be done, but he's not acting very overly worried or excited by the whole thing. Don't take it personally, but he's...he's kinda seen a lot worse.
But that's not the main reason why he's not making a bigger scene. ]

Sorry I'm so useless, everyone. >>; Can't make a fire, can't hunt, don't know what plants are edible.. You kids hang in there, though, okay? This'll blow over soon, I promise. ^^
*spends most of his time trying to find small tasks to do, not being all that talkative. right now, he's eating his meal of roasted fish and roasted mushroom quietly by the fire. or maybe you caught him while collecting firewood.*
It's pretty chilly outside nowadays, though. Guess I'll stick around inside since I can't seem to put on a coat over this. Work is pretty tough; we can't put on our working gloves when we're in the fields... ^^; I'll need to launder this get-up a few times before the week's over, too. I work up a real sweat on the farm.
Hey, anyone know any good games to play while so many of us are staying indoors?
Oh, and uh... I can't be too sure, but I THINK the island has me dressed up as...what were they...something like war protesters? That's kinda cool, huh!! :D
(( Vash is dressed like a HIPPIE~ I'm ashamed I didn't think of this faster. Also, since he's regained all his childhood memories, that means that he remembers a lot about Earth, from what he and Knives studied in their space ship's historical records. He has a pretty good memory, too, of course being Vash~ ))
I can't....
*a few choked sobs* Goddammit...! Is this really true...?!
*SPARKLY EYES*
*TWIRLS, DANCES, AND LEAPS ABOUT THE ISLAND - hugs everyone he sees, except for the intimidating people like Ike and Kurogane who he just furiously shakes their hand and pounds them heartily on the shoulder* 8DDD
((2% memory regain from Oktoberfest, spent on the fact that his bounty of $$60 billion double dollars was taken down!))

Did anyone here have memories of Miss Franziska? I want to know what her life was like before she came here. Do you think she's all right?
Whew... It's nice not having those wings bumping into crap all the time anymore. ^^; I'm sorry if I was a nuisance to anyone!
[Filter to Winry]
*someone's knocking on your door! answer it~?*
Flower telegram~! ^^
[Filter to Terra]
Hey. Are you, uh, doing well?
((Vash got Legato's coin case after Tanabata. He's regained 2% memories from the Tanabata couples contest prize+attendance, used for remembering his first impression of Legato, and another 2% memories were regained from the superpowers event, used for his Angel Arm ability. God knows he'll never use it here, it'd blow up the island. :I He does know about its auto-defensive abilities, though. Oh yeah, he bought some flowers to give to Winry! :D
Hello, everyone! This is Vash. He needs to make some new friends, bad. You can find him working at the farm, drinking at the bar after work, or sitting on the apartments roof every once in a while even. Let's hang out~))
I'm sorry if I offended you as a child, if you spoke with me during that week. I remember all of you; thanks so much for trying to help me. Simon, Miss Fiona, Miss Death...Ren... and the rest, I didn't ask for your names, but my gratitude is still sincere.
[Filter to Ren]
You saved my life, Ren. If you hadn't talked to me, I'm certain I would've done something...very foolish. ^^;
[Private, hard to hack, impossible for people he's only spoken to a couple times]
So many holes in my memory... I remember trying to strike out with a knife at...someone... I remember... I saw blood on my hands... I was so relieved at first, like a heavy weight had been lifted off of me, and then... I couldn't stop screaming and sobbing. Who? Who was it...? I dragged them to the medical wing and nursed them back to life with the equipment there, and then I think they were still alive... I felt so warm. I smiled for them. I said I'd do it. What did I say I'd do...?
After Knives came back to, he acted like he didn't remember anything about what we had discovered about Tessla and her death. *grits his teeth* He was lying. He was acting, in front of us. He hid and then...and then...!
I can't even--
20 MILLION.
60 MILLION MISSING.
802 SHIPS DESTROYED.
74 EMERGENCY LANDINGS.
124 SHIPS MISSING.
...The Big Fall... The ships carrying a large portion of the entire population of humankind, plummeted to a dusty planet, their guidance systems destroyed from the inside, by Knives. My brother. I remember screaming at Knives after, on the surface of the planet. "YOU REALLY WERE AFRAID OF THEM!! OF MANKIND!!" I knew, because I had felt like that only days before. Before I talked to...that person...
What is this... What the HELL is all this...!
((3% memories regained from the point of what he remembered during the childhood event until Knives and Vash landed on the planet and Vash encountered Knives, and was then forced to follow his brother around for years and years... I'm sorry I was so in-and-out during the event! I was so unsure and not ready for it, in terms of how epic I wanted to make it... But it turned out great thanks to you guys!! And the epic-ness continues, with this memory regain~))
Ha. I've been abandoned. Is that it? They put me into cryosleep, and dumped me on a faraway planet? It's crazy. I can't believe they would give up a chance to research our kind. Heh. Fucking scientists. This is...a relief. I'm sorry I couldn't avenge you, Tessla...
--! Wait, who... Who was it? I can't remember who... Peh. It doesn't matter. Aah...! *moans, cradling his head* They did something to me, they took part of my memories...!! Bastards!!
I just want to die. There's nothing but humans here. But Knives... Is he still on the ship? *his eyes widen* Knives... Did they abandon me and keep Knives to--?!?!
*sobs* Knives, no...
nnnnnnNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
*lets out a raw, agony-filled scream*
((I wanted to plan out things involving Vash hurting people, but I've decided to go the route of "put the rat in the maze and see where he goes" instead. I'll just give you guys the set-up: Vash hates humans to the core right now, and if approached by one, he may respond with violence if he is bugged enough. He's not strong or anything, though, so your character wouldn't get TOO wounded; he doesn't have any weapons (for now), either. Vash has all-yellow hair (rather than the half-yellow, half-black he had before), and is smaller, d'uh~ I highly suggest approaching him with non-human characters, and then if you have a very nice human character that might be able to change his mind about humans, by all means, please go for it
3% memories spent on Conrad finding and reacting strangely to Knives and Vash on the ship, on finding the files on the plant entity named Tessla and her being researched to death by scientists, on finding her mangled corpse still hooked up to wires floating in a tank, on Knives fainting after finding out about this, etc.... Vash has been taken from this point.
Even if Vash isn't 'cured' by the end of this event, I have another 3% to use afterwards for more memories that will help convince him that life, both plant and human, is precious. :3 But he won't remember Rem...! *sob*
EDIT:: ALSO ALSO, sorry for all this blabbing-- be sure to note if your character is a non-human who just happens to look like a human!))
MILES IS BACK. Even though he can't remember his previous stay, I'm sure his memories will return eventually. And until then, I intend to help him as much as I can!
HILARIOUS AND ADORKABLE KIDS ARE EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK. Can you believe it?! This is the second time-- The first time was when I first showed up here! They're all over the place, this is bonkers, ha ha.
AND ISN'T IT A GOSH DARN GORGEOUS DAY TODAY~?!
*he is egging you youngins all on, yes he is* Eeeeeeh, buuncha SCAREDY-CATS, IZZAT IT?! C'MON, C'MON...!!
(( He hasn't noticed yet that Aerith is gone :( That will come right before the end of this week, I think...he's too busy freaking out about Miles and all the kids, I'd say. Vash has 3% unspent memories from the raffle, so I'm thinking of giving those to him as soon as the childhood event is over to help give some closure to the...craziness...he's going to remember when he goes younger in Tier 3 8I
BY THEY WAY, hit me up on AIM if your character is a friend of Vash's and you wouldn't mind them...possibly...getting injured. :I WHOA DRAMA basically I need a replacement Rem, since Vash won't remember her D8 Ren? Simon? Fate? I wouldn't want it to happen to Miles, that doesn't seem right, heh...))
Huh? What happened to Lavi, the bartender? I always expect to see his shining smiling face whenever I stop by for a drink.
Ah~ It's so peaceful~ Now that Kid isn't here constantly remeasuring and remeasuring and remeasuring AND REMEASURING every inch of all my furniture, clothes, and possessions. By the hour. T_T
I've become really...really...good friends with someone recently. I-I'm having a hard time stopping thinking about her, even. Ah ha. This is bad. I just feel so relaxed around her! Like I can really be myself.
[Private, unhackable]
...Because she's the only one on the island that I've told about my true identity as a Plant. She accepts me, she doesn't seem afraid in the slightest. We're both still a little in the dark about our pasts, but for now, I'm just grateful to have someone to share these things with. I can't believe I opened up to her and blurted it out just like that on our first meeting, when this is something I've been keeping from my other friends who I've known for almost a year...! -_-
I feel like she's the only one who can completely understand and accept me for who I really am. I could feel something about her...
[Filter to Aerith]
Hey, Aerith~! Nice weather, eh?
[Public]
You know what? I've been on this island for year as of a week ago, I realized. It went by so fast, and so much happened... People've come and gone. Looks like I still have some time to spend here before I get sent back. Who knows how long, though, right? ^^; Ah ha... I still think it's a good thing to make friendships while we're here. It's tough when you can't see someone anymore, but I think the memories you have with someone make you...stronger. Or something like that.
Anyway, don't mind me! *waves frantically* Eh heh, I can get emotional really fast...
((Vash works as a farmhand, spends a night or two at the bar in town, can be found being wrestled to the ground every now and again by the town kids, and lives in a room by himself at Ari apartments. Let's hang out, guys. ACTIVITYYYYYY UUUUUUP! *Sailor Moon pose*))
*just to let you know*
S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-so c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cold
((Vash is a farm hand; I imagine they're still working, covering the fields during this harsh weather or some such? So yeah, that's why he's outside.))
She left... Goddammit... First Franziska, and now Miss Subaru. How many more are going to be left behind? I have to help them. There's got to be a way to heal the sorrow in their hearts.
...
There really isn't, though, is there. In the end, we're all on our own. Each of us walk our own paths, and those paths must inevitably part.
Please understand, Franziska... I don't want you to feel alone...!
[Private, slightly hackable by friends, except for Franziska]
I've been trying to watch after Franziska ever since I found she was working on this murder case. *determined* If anyone tries to attack her, they'll answer to me. I...just hope Franziska doesn't kick me into a wall before I'm needed, though. ^^; Aah, this is tough...!
[Public]
( I remembered something...amazing )
((2% memory regain from Christmas, all about Project SEEDS
also Vash will never remember Rem, just fyi to those curious. boo hoo ;o;))
*siiiiiiigh* ...I think I can move on now. Yeah. T-teenagers, right? They have such an imagination, eh heh heh heh. I'm sure Miss Renge just has a strange hobby and....and...ANYWAY THAT'S AL SHE WROTE SO TO SPEAK SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT AH HA HA HA HA HA
[Public]
M-man, literature, right? Ha ha. I sometimes feel like I ought to be reading more. All these kids going to school, I feel like they're going to leave me behind if I don't keep up my own studies somehow. :P
What do you recommend, Miss Franziska? You're one of the smartest people I know, I'd bet. ^_^
((Common places you may find Vash and find a way to stick to him: work at the farm, clinkiing glasses at the bar, finding him working out in the morning with Ranulf, or if you are a clumsy person and he catches you or something? XD))
[Action, so...mostly Private, but some people might hear the scream?]
[ At some point after Christmas, Vash decided to check out the magazine that Miss Renge had so thoughtfully got him. He assumed it was a magazine, anyway. The cover was a little bit mysterious. He flopping onto his bed, flipped open a page, and another page, humming to himself. A comic, huh? He didn't pin Miss Renge as the smelly comicbook geek type. He flipped another page. These guys looked pretty close. One of them looked really familiar, kinda. Actually, both of them did. He flipped another page-- ]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*claps a hand over his mouth to restrain the screaming, and holds the "magazine" with his finger and thumb in his other outstretched arm, staring at it wide-eyed*
*a little while later, goes to the church for some spiritual healing - starts reciting Hail Marys at the alter*
((Just a note-- Vash isn't really a homophobe, he just thinks people need privacy. :D
Still have 2% memory left over, will spend it once I decide what to do...))
*in his usual red coat, Vash is going around distributing presents in person from a large sack he's got slung over his shoulder*
((Agrias, Belphegor, Cooro, Damian, Danny, Fate, Flonne, Franziska, Haruhi, Gaara, Godot, Haruko, Heather, Kyouya Hibari, Ichigo, Kid, Kurogane, Kuzco, Lavi, Lenalee, Maya, Mokona, Momo, Pearl, Priscilla, Ranulf, Ren, Renge, Ryuhou, Samus, Sanji, Shampoo, Simon, Soren, Squalo, T-O-E, Tidus, Tiffany, and Tsuna all got one of three gifts from Vash, you pick: 1) bag of chocolates, 2) stuffed teddy bear, or 3) a Raggedy-Ann-type doll. Don't be shy, toys can be for big kids, too!
If you comment to this post, your character received a present as soon as Vash spotted them! You can react to it just right off the bat. :D And....please pretend that this happened on Christmas day, because I was too busy with everything to think up and post this, all that. ;o;
Mods, deduct $600 from Vash please~))
*takes some in hand, and it crumbles as he closes his fingers together*
*makes a sad kind of smile - are his eyes tearing up some? possible*
Sooo, lessee... Does anyone know if I can be a witness at Gaara's trial or anything? I want to testify on his behalf.
[Private, hackable to buddies~]
That nightmare was the pits. Never in my life did I think I'd be turning my gun on my own friends. ... ...What else is there to say? I'll just shut that chapter and move on. There's nothing else I can do. Nothing...

Ugggggh..... I want another one of those sata andagiii... =o=
...!! A crowd of townspeople pull out rifles and pistols and fire upon him. When the smoke clears, he's on the ground, having dodged all the bullets, and has shot the puppet-townspeople with his pistol--
"O-ow..."
--and one innocent townsperson. A young girl.
SHIT!!
Maniacal laughter rings out through the town square. Vash picks up the young girl and rushes out into the night, armed and alert for more of Leonof's - no, Emilio's creations.
((Vash will see everyone just as they are for the most part, but with a layer of evil fake puppet people on top of it, shooting them down once he identifies who is the puppet and who is the real deal. Since everything in this event is going to revert in the end anyway, I'm going to say he may accidentally shoot your character in these comments! OH NOES
3% memories for remembering Leonof the Puppet Master (manga version as usual, of course) ))
Heather's right. Didn't I tell someone once that I am a hunter of love? This lazing about and hiding when beautiful women are all over the place WAITING to be swept up into these arms-- it JUST HAS TO STOP.
=_=
*^o^*
HERE I COME~~~
[Public]
*the most sparkly sparkle-filled face you've ever seen* Ladies...
A lone hunter stands here. He is lonely. And he is a hunter. A hunter of the butterfly called love. Yes, my dears. It is I who I speak of. Won't someone save me from this loneliness and be my date to the onsen banquet.
It's on me
It's been a while. How have you been?
[Private, rather unhackable, but not impossible for friends]
*sigh* Looks like I made it through that week without having anything important to talk about here. I would've hated to have someone read something I didn't mean them to. That would've been the worst. =_=
Oh god I hope no one found out about me and Heather
I regret that so much
Well-- It was kind of nice. She had a really nice bod-- *blushes* Right. A-A-Anyway.
[Public]
Things have sure been exciting, recently! Ah ha ha ha! ^o^; YUP! DEFINITELY EXCITING. Kinda makes you wonder what's around the bend, doesn't it?
((Friends will probably have noticed that Vash didn't near have any "casualties" at all during the blabbermouth event - feel free to give him a hard time for it. Also, feel free to bring up stuff about the banquet~ He MIGHT go with someone if the conversation goes well, but he's still a little wibbly after the thing with Heather XD Plus he's just a shade more anti-social than before. ........The trend will only continue as this RP goes on, I'm afraid...... ))
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS I HAVE BOOBS I SERIOUSLY HAVE BOOBS WHY DO I HAVE BOOBS THESE ARE BOOBS AREN'T THEY THEY'RE DEFINITELY BOOBS AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE BOOBS BOOOOOOOOOOOBS
*pant pant pant* 0_0
B-but at second glance, it looks like nearly everyone around me is having gender identity issues. Ah ha ha. How...how strange. This island sure likes to do weird stuff. 8I;;; Why gender switching...?
( [Private, unhackable] )
((3% memory regain for genderswitch event. And Vash isn't gonna miss out on work just because he lost a pair and grew a different pair. :D))
