25th Confession [Written/Action][Early on the 23rd for MAXIMUM HEAT WAVE]

[notabluesbro]

[Wolfwood's annoyed. Vash was snatched up just as things were getting calm, so to appease his gnawing aggravation over needle noggin's surprise vacation, he took to the lake more often; shockingly, he was getting pretty good at it, and as the days wore on, he was clearing more distance without stopping for a breather. Not to mention, staying stationary in Luceti meant losing muscle mass, and he had no room for losing the ability to tote that heavy son-of-a-bitch gun.

Of course, that talk with Sanji a few days back had him thinking. Always thinking, this one. He sits under a tree by the lake, still wet from the swim, with pen in hand. The question really takes him back. Reminds him of Vash and the girls, and of himself.]

[Written]

Hey, a question—how many of you were nomadic? Traveled from place to place, not really labeling one single town or house as a home?

[....]

And what d'you think of being stuck in one place?

[Afterwards, he starts back home after practicing Fire and his just recently sought-after wind magic (he spends a great deal of his time dealing with the spirits, now, because getting better and stronger was important; protecting people was important). Catch him on the way back if you want, or out training in the fields, or prior, at the lake. Whatever floats your boat.]

Re: [action-y action] YOU WORRY TOO MUCH

[notabluesbro]

Me? Nosy? Well, your Wolfwood must've been the worst. [... Man, it's weird talking about yourself, and yet not talking about yourself at all.] ... But I'm interested in the full story, if you wouldn't mind. It's payment for calling me nosy.

[action-y action] It's a curse I tell you, a curse.

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

Asking to be compensated with information only proves it right, you know. [See? He can be funny too! Or so he tries.]

Have you ever heard of someone named "Elendria the Crimson Nail"? [Because you know, completely different universes here. This is going to be one long ass story time if he had to go through the plot of the manga everything leading up to that fateful little encounter.]

[notabluesbro]

[HMMM LET ME THIIIINK]

Doesn't ring a bell.

The tags where he tells manga plot always take forever for me to write, for some reason. Sorry ;u;

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

In my version of your world she was the strongest one of the Gung-Ho-Guns. [and was also trans, but he's one of the few people out there who isn't freaked out by that at all. Bless his politically correct heart.] I was going to fight her while Vash took care of Legato, but you could say she decided to show up a little early. [and by golly, a lot of skewering was involved!] At the time I wasn't strong enough to kill her, but I managed to fight her off [she got bored and wandered off, but that's totally the same thing]

it's okaaay |D

[notabluesbro]

[Whatever glimmer of distaste Wolfwood had toward Legato's name, he quickly covers up with his well-masked humored reply. Best bring up Legato when that matters.

... Though he's not surprised Legato's a dick in that universe, too.]

Right—and the skies awarded you a hat for your troubles?

my brain is saying this is a crap tag, but my heart feels too warm and fluffy to care.

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

Well, actually... at the time there were some kids around. I had to protect them.

[Aaaah drifting down fond memory lane. Okay not so much with the impaling but other then that! Okay baaack to his story.]

They were really cute. [HE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH.] At first I thought they had nobody to take care of them, since they were all alone when I found them. But then Jasmine came to take them back. She was worried since they had been lost in the crowd. [he miiiiight he a little twitterpated with Jasmine. Just a tad.]

They insisted that I take them as gifts. [Holding on to his lovely cape and poncho now]

LOL, beautiful |D

[notabluesbro]

Jasmine, huh?

Who's that?

[B) I am observant WHY DOES SHE GET A SHOUTOUT~?]

This thread is quickly going to a very beautiful place

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

[You realize Wolfwood that your implication is very flustering.]

We used to be friends.

[ISN'T IT SO OBVIOUS THAT HE WAS TOTALLY JUST FRIENDS WITH HER AND HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER FEELINGS FOR HER AT ALL? Even though she totally was the only other kid he really warmed up to aside from Wolfwood. And he saved her life. And he was crushed when she hated him for killing the puppy. And she ran through his mind when he thought he was going to die. And he totally almost cried after he met her again.]

wolfwood would not allow for anything less

[notabluesbro]

For someone who's just a friend, you sure are getting redfaced. Well, as red as a tan guy like you can, anyway. You had a crush on her, huh?

One of these days this icon can be used in context. Until then I just abuse it for the >:[ face

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

No.

[Yes.]

[notabluesbro]

You don't sound like you didn't.

What's wrong with liking someone, anyway? Everyone does it. It's the natural way of things. Adam and Eve and all the stuff between.

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

It's not like that.

[can you tell he's really 16 yet? SO DEFENSIVE.]

We were just friends back when we were kids.

[does never telling your feelings and leaving her anyways so she's happy even fall under that category?]

note: don't tag at early hours anymore ~_~

[notabluesbro]

[/not impressed]

Oh, sure. I can tell by the getting flustered and the defensive tone.

[grin]

But if you say so. Trust my experience—if you feel a certain way, you should just get it over with and tell her how you feel. Well. If you had any feelings like that. Which you don't.

Life's too short to dance around these things.

[BTW I'm shacked up with Milly BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING, LIVIO.]

what is tagging anyways. on a side note I no longer care if I icon abuse so long as it fits

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

[He is so not dignifying that with a verbal response. Wolfwood will realize if he hasn't already that picking on Livio just makes him sulky. his mind will be blown when he realizes Wolfwood is both 12 years older then him and has a girlfriend.]

LMAO wooooo

[notabluesbro]

Geez, you act like a sulky teenager.

[|D]

Planning on staying single into eternity?

[Like he was going to? Only Milly threw a wrench in his plans?]

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

[oh Wolfwood, if you only knew.]

It's not something I think about.

[I think he should take that as a yes.]

[notabluesbro]

You should. There's nothing like having a pretty lady to keep you in line.

[Point.]

As long as you don't end up like Vash, you'll be fine. The guy never does anything right. Schoolboy crushes included.

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

[TOO LATE he's already like Vash in that department. also don't give his teenager brain any ideas]

He can't be that bad if he's your friend.

[he feels the need to defend Vash since he's not here. Bonus points he's saying Wolfwood's choice in friends isn't god awful. lol]

[notabluesbro]

[... Mrrrr. You clearly don't know his choice in company. Or how he was pretty bad, himself. Or maybe you're just used to everyone being that way. |Da]

True, but he still needs to get his head on straight. He worries about too much shit for his own good.

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

[It really is the 3rd option, the sad thing Wolfwood is a saint compared to some of the people who have been in his life.]

Really?

[He acts like this is genuinely new information for him. Then again he only knew him for... a couple of days and his Vash is a bit different so there's... that.]

[notabluesbro]

Well... [He pauses for thought.] Maybe some things he worries about is justified...

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

[Now it's his turn to think. 8|a]

Even when times were hard, he always seemed calm to me. Then again, that could just be another difference between our worlds.

[See, manga Vash is a heck of a lot more decisive and less derpy by the time Livio meets up with him, but again it's not like he knows him that well to begin with.]

[notabluesbro]

[... After a quiet pause, he looks at Livio.]

Has Vash fought with Legato yet? In your world?

[crybabyofdeath.livejournal.com]

He has. [and now it's his turn to pause] In the end he had to kill him to protect me.

[and yeah, he totally blames himself for it, can you tell by that "kicked dog" look on his face?]

[notabluesbro]

..... So it's the same there, too.

[His frown deepens.]

Same scenario, just... different people.
