[Heeey, Luceti. So Vash decided to try being like his brother today by deciding he wanted to kill the humans— just a few hours ago, in fact, in which Wolfwood nearly choked to death on his coffee and went out to find the idiot. What ended up happening was a wonderful little ~~conversation~~ fight that ended with gunfire, a tree toppling over, and a flash of light within the forest bright enough to alert anyone near that lake or forested area. Regardless, Wolfwood's counting his blessings: he's not dead, Vash isn't dead, and most importantly, there's still a completely unharmed, whole village.

~~but oh god Moro is going to bite his face off~~

Folks, he's damn happy to know that, despite a little environmental damage (I am so sorry, tree), everyone's safe. But there is the problem of Vash being an ass to the people he cares about. And the fact that he threatened to kill them. And the fact that he flapped his gums and told a lot of people a lot of things he'd never want them to know. So there's a voice coming over the journal, a little winded:]

[VOICE//Filtered from Vash, in case he tries to look back on this >.>;;]

All right, Luceti. If you spoke to that guy Vash lately—y'know, tall, blond hair, giant red trench-coat—I just want you to know he was affected by this damn experiment, and that none of the crap he said was him. I think a good amount of you figured as much, but for the people who don't: he was changed. And if I know that needle noggin'd moron, he's going to change back pretty soon, and then beat the shit out of himself internally for saying the things he said.

[He huffs, a short, winded huff. Smoking a cigarette, because honestly, this was a wonderful time to be smoking.]

... Seems like a lot of the people get screwed over by these Malnosso jerks. But the best we can do is try and not give them the satisfaction of disrupting our day-to-day life mentally... Ha, easier said than done, right? But it looks like a lot of people are slowly getting back to normal.

That's good.

[a pause, and then casually spoken:]

With all that outta' the way, it's all dealt with, so don't worry about any of the threats he made. He's not about to follow through on any of those any time soon.

[Another huff, as he inwardly winces.]

By the way, if there's any good healers out there, give me a ring, huh?

[Geez, Luceti is feelin' the hurt today. :(]

[ACTION]

[For anyone who was keeping an eye out for Vash or going off to see if he was up to something, you can find him. Er, sort of. Wolfwood'll be walking down the trail of the western lake, taking the less people-infected routes—unconscious Vash on one shoulder, tied up by the cloth that should be around the cross-gun he's holding in the other hand. He's ruffled, bloody, and looks like he's wanting to light something on fire. But don't worry, he's cool.

He's on his way back to the apartments, so this poor priest can do a little whiskey-drinking before he digs that bullet out of his right shoulder. >:( ]

I remember... talking with you about the winter, and about how important it was to take care of your wings. And... I feel like I remember, from a long time ago... playing in the snow? But that can't be right...

[Ah, then it was her. That was the only other girl with dark skin he knew—and what he remembered of her face, it was just a resemblance that was hard to ignore.]

Don't be too unsure of that. I remember something a little similar, myself... I definitely recall somebody tackling me, and it wasn't any guy I know.

[The details - for her - were over twelve years ago. ...and yet they seem oddly vivid.] Hey, all's fair in love, war, and snowball fights.

...speaking of, are you all right? Did you get a healer already?

[No fair, that's his usual motto!

Oh—]

Aaah, I'm all right. On my way to meet one right now, so it shouldn't be much of a problem anymore.

[Except my vision is spinning and it sucks.]

[No wonder they were such a good team.

Katara sounds dubious.]

Well, all right. There are a lot of good healers in this town, if I remember right. And I'm one of them. So if you need anything... please let me know.

No kidding, you can heal people, too? You're just full of surprises.

I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks, Katara.

[He didn't know? She thought she'd... hadn't she?] Don't mention it.

[Pause.] I don't know how long I'll be here... like this. So just in case I don't get the chance to later, I want you to know I'm glad I had the chance to meet you. When Vash gets better... please tell him too.

[A nod.]

I will. I think that'll help him along, too.

...Anything changed? Did you return home for a while?

I'm not sure. It feels to me as if I did, but... it may just be part of this experiment.

Hey, either way, I'm glad your memories are intact. This experiment's been pretty cruel to some people, so that's nice of them.

[Said with the usual 'Malnosso still suck' sarcasm, but genuine all the same.]

There's nothing nice about them. But... it does seem like I got off more lightly than others. [And that's not really fair at all.

...but on a more humorous note:]

I heard my brother got turned into a girl.

[Because that is just never going to not be funny.]

...Turned into a girl, huh?

[snerk]

Did he know he always think he was a girl?
