[there is no audio today, aside from the pleasant murmur of town-sounds, and the video is purely accidental. Legato has the journal propped open nearby while he lounges in the sun on the edge of town.

...Because that is exactly what someone who was recently released from the hospital should be doing-- still bound in bandages and a sling, sitting

[Oh, I'll bet you're comfortable. Which makes it a shame that the sun is obscured suddenly by a head of green hair. Looooming over Legato, Ian's more confused at the idea that an injured fella is hanging out in the heat.]

Oi. Are you okay?

[refocusing; glancing up pointedly]

Excuse me?

Re: [Action]

[my_yoke_broke]

Okay. Are you, yanno, okay?

Normally, injured people don't just lay around in the heat. I think.

I wanted some fresh air.

[ Madoka is out on a walk when she spots him there - but her expression turns a little concerned when she notices all the bandages. And some helpful part of her can't just ignore that, so.. she approaches a little. ]

U-um, sir.. are you feeling alright..?

[ action ]

[endthem]

[it takes him a moment to realize that he's being addressed, and he brings his mind back to himself enough to glance toward the voice.

...Ah. A child. He manages a trace of a smile]

Feeling alright?

Better than I have been, I suppose.

[ At that there's a slightly awkward giggle. ]

Sorry that I asked it so suddenly, but.. I guess I was slightly worried, ehehe.

[ action ]

[endthem]

Worried? About what?

[Not... anything?]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash doesn't visit. And he doesn't care that your journal isn't even saying anything. You can bet once he figures out who this quiet journal belongs too he'll be keeping an eye on it!]

[Not anything back]

[endthem]

[you shouldn't be so suspicious, Vash. Goodness. You're becoming a little obsessed...]

[I see your nothing back and raise you an ACTION!]

[goldenglasses]

[Obsessed!? It's not obsessed when you're trying to avoid a stalker! You're the obsessed one!

Huh, did the wind just pick up?

Is that a shocked yelp coming from the journal before it's dropped?

Is that yelp accompanied by a scream not too far away?

Is that a spinning Vash coming towards you?

Is that spinning Vash suddenly coming to a stop and falling into your lap if you don't do something quickly?

The answer to all of these questions? Is yes.]

[oh snap!]

[endthem]

[do something quickly?? He feels like hell, one arm is still in a sling, and his torso is still all bandaged. He can't do anything quickly. And the whirling is so disorienting and sudden that can't even react in time to do anything about it mentally.

All he can do is flail back and catch himself with his automail arm, grimacing through a burst of pain as a Plant is unceremoniously dumped on him]

--Vash?!

[Ceodore pauses when he catches sight of Legato catnapping and stops to at least say hello.]

Hey, you awake?

[endthem]

[oh! precisely who he was hoping to find, today]

Ah, there you are.

[lunarianlegacy]

Huh? Were you looking for me?

[Any chance he can be a useful guy for a change?]

[endthem]

Yes. [being sure to smile. You presence is so appreciated] I was wondering if you wouldn't mind allowing me to try something again.

Late tag is both late AND fail! Enjoy!

[crybabyofdeath]

[Yeah, this heat? It really isn't much for desert dwellers. So naturally Livio is out and about today. Not really doing anything in particular mind you. Except for updating his mental map for Luceti and generally patrolling to make sure any villains wouldn't start causing shit not participating in the Mu event left him with a complex, okay

Oh, and speaking of villains, he just happened to spot you now.
Enjoy that nice, pleasant, stare down. Because oh no, Legato can't possibly be doing normal human-ish things. He's always plotting something, damn it. ]

I will just late AND fail you right back, then!

[endthem]

[he doesn't even notice the man until he senses someone stop as they pass him, and stare.

Opening his eyes, he returns to himself enough to give the other man a lazy glance.

...Ah, the man who had attacked Amelia.]

Can I help you?

/is alive

[crybabyofdeath]

[Who cares if you havn't done anything and you don't even know him yet he hates you so much. Still, he's at least pretty calm about it.]

If you want to be helpful then stay out of trouble.

[What is this thing you call suspicion.]

[endthem]

[that is some pretty pointed hatred, right there. It simply radiates off of him, and feels very specific. Legato had assumed that most of what he'd seen of this man before had been due to the experiment, but... perhaps not]

Have I done something to offend you?
