[Waking up dazed and confused in a desert with wings on your back... after thinking you're dead... never really helps a situation. Last he checked he was inking out his last bit of life on a church floor. And now he's in a shitty pile of sand with black wings on his shoulders. He was either alive and tripping back home in Gunsmoke, or he was on the road to a less than impressive Hell. But... that's a forest in the distance? He must've been seeing things. Worth a shot, at least?

So he staggers for an hour like a confused drunk and finally makes it to this green, wondrous land, were he just... collapses near the closest stream and drinks until his poor lungs feel a little better. Of course, after taking a short nap under a tree, he wakes up to a fat drop of rain smacking him in the forehead.]

Wha...?

[Is that... rain? Really? That's... sort of a miracle. Lots of miracles lately, eh? The journal falls open and voices trickle out of it. So after staring at it for a few minutes, he... speaks at it. After all, looking crazy is better than sitting out in a rainstorm--

He can't believe he's actually in rain. Real rain, none of that feigned sprinkler crap. And the desert's so goddamn tiny...]

Hello...?

Why in God's name am I talking to a book...

Can anyone tell me where the heck this place is? I'd also be really grateful if anyone could point me to the nearest food stand... Mainly if it has a nice, sturdy roof and something either warm or alcoholic to drink...

[A thoughtful pause. His back did feel too light...]

...And, uh... if you've seen a giant cross sitting around, let me know, huh?

Oooo, testy, testy. Careful, you'll end up calling that wolf over.

Well, it's not so bad. Now I just have to run faster than you.

Hey, last I checked I can run at exactly your speed, Needle noggin. Even with my cross, I'll bet, too.

In mud? I've had more practice.

Yeah, but she doesn't know me yet—I'll just tell her you were calling her forest stupid or something. Then she'll go after you and I can make my retreat!

But I actually know the forest! I can travel it without getting lost!

As long as you're not dogfood~

[Is his speed picking up?] Hey, I haven't been eaten yet.

[And Wolfwood is walking a little faster too now. Cut it out. >:|]

There's a first time for everything, right?

[MENTAL VEINTHROB.]

[Jussssst a little faster]

You'll have to let me know what it's like to get eaten then.

[Still... keeping up... >:|]

Before or after I kick you upside the head?

You have to be able to keep up to kick me in the head. [Basically running now.]

[ASSHOLE!]

[RUNS!!]

Or I can just—

[Behold as he scoops up a rock off the ground and flings it at the back of your head. B|]

[SMACK! Goes sprawling to the ground.] OW! That's cheating!

Cheating? Where? Who?

[He jogs casually over and crouches near the sprawled out Vash with a huge grin on his face.]

Huuuuh, but you said you knew the forest so well! I guess I know plenty enough about it to gain on you, though. Like, that there are nice-sized rocks around here.
