[This morning finds Vash waking up in the forest. He doesn’t remember much, except that his head hurts, but at least the Malnosso left him in his clothes for once. He sits for a moment, waiting for his head to clear a bit, before opening his journal.]

[Filtered to Meryl and Wolfwood // 100% Unhackable]Uh, haha… I’m back. Hope you guys weren’t too

[He takes a moment to just absorb that Vash is back, and grins faintly before answering the question]

All you need to do is listen for Kipinn; he'll talk to anything and anyone.

Eferin's harder. That bastard's picky, and if you don't meet his criteria, he'll push you off for a while.

As for Tsinku, just have a good story about lightning ready and he'll warm up to you pretty quickly.

... And welcome back.

A good story? Oh man, Gunsmoke hardly ever rained let alone any decent lightning. Well... there was that typhoon... did that have lightening?

...what are Eferin's criteria? I'm not going to have to set myself on fire am I!? [Now he's just being over dramatic.]

[And then, shyly.] Ah, thanks.

[oda_hates_me]

Either that or you dance for his entertainment. [Complete with a lightning show... that will harm you]

And to be honest, I'm not sure. Being hot-headed might help. [a smirk, because Vash really doesn't fit that bill at all.

He switches into seriousness again, giving the other a thorough glance]

You alright?

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Well, that's just great... I'm a horrible dancer. [As he wonders how much harder it is to dodge lightning than bullets.

...crap. Well, maybe he got lucky and Legato went home while he was gone! Oh wait, he doesn't have any luck.] This is going to be even harder than I thought.

I'm alright; I was pretty much left alone. [Actually he spent most of the time sleeping, which was odd, but he just figures they were test drugging him or something.] How long have I been gone? (About ten days)

[oda_hates_me]

[A sigh. Vash, don't sound so down about it] Oi oi, I'll put in a good word for you. Tsinku might listen - just so long as you don't get on his bad side.... and I'll work on Eferin.

[he shifts a little, eye still on the journal] Ten days or so. Nothing happened while you were gone.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

...ten days. [Longer than he thought. That doesn't settle very well with him.] And nothing at all? No mass, unexplained disappearances or murders? [Okay, so he was a little worried by what Legato would do to try to draw him out of "hiding", but he sounds relieved. Pretty sure things like that Sanji wouldn't consider as nothing.]

[Filtered]

[oda_hates_me]

Not that I've heard. [And they both know Sanji pays attention] The village would be in one hell of a frenzy if there had been.

... Still worried about that Legato shithead?

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah... I am. I'm hoping that learning the spirit's magic might give me an advantage over him.

[Filtered]

[oda_hates_me]

Every little bit helps. [wryly and maybe coupled with a tinge of guilt he recalls snippets of memory, with him pitted against Naoki and Xion.

Spirit magic had helped in the worst way, then]

Tsinku will help the most. His magic packs the biggest punch.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Then I guess I should start with him. Thanks, Sanji.

[oda_hates_me]

Don't mention it.

Though I gotta warn you it takes a while to learn everything.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

I know, but I got to start somewhere, right?

[Filtered]

[oda_hates_me]

True enough.

The learning process might speed up if you have someone to bounce off of.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Good point. Have anyone you could suggest? Or would it be better to find someone else who's new at this? [It might not be a bad idea to talk Wolfwood into learning this, but Vash would kinda like to see how bad the training is himself first.

...or you know. Learn it and then have his chance to laugh at Wolfwood's training later.]

[Filtered]

[oda_hates_me]

[The first name that pops into his head is Ginko, but Sanji's not sure how well the two know each other.]

I'll lend a hand when I can. And I'll have to supervise if I get that shithead Eferin to listen.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

S-supervise? [Why does it suddenly sound like trying to protect himself and others from Legato may be more hazardous to his health?]
