[The journal falls open just in time to catch a pained gasp, followed by some rather upset sniffling.] T-t-that hurt! B-but R-R-Rem said dreams aren’t s-suppose to hurt! It’s so cold. Rem! Kn-nives! [Finally the journal catches a glimpse of little Vash as he shakily tries to stand up in it‘s view. His trade mark spiky hair is gone. Instead it falls

[It's a voice a few octaves higher than what Sanji is used to, but he recognizes two of those names. And suddenly, he finds the voice to be very, very familiar.

Shit, they turned both of them into kids?]

Oi oi, kid. Calm down a sec.

[Gah! Another voice from the book!] B-b-but, this is all w-wrong! Y-y-your suppose to b-be as-sleep until we fi-find a new h-home! [He hugs himself trying to stay warm, because it's getting hard to talk with his teeth chattering.] Are y-you from a-another sh-ship? R-Rem said we were the onl-only ones a-awake!

[And he starts yelling again.] Rem! K-Knives! Where are y-you!? J-Joey! Can't you h-hear me!? [This is all so wrong!]

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

I'm not from any ship. [Speaking as calmly as he can - damn, at this rate]

And kid, you need to keep moving or you'll freeze to death.

...but there wasn't any planets nearby on the scanners today. How does the signal reach then? [Joey taught him the basics on how communication systems are suppose to work, but he does try to stand up again as he asks. Key word being try. He pushes himself up and his feet slip out from under him again.]

Ow...

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

What the hell are you talking about...

[Ouch. Sanji winces and shakes his head, already on his feet and out the door with an extra coat since this post cares nothing about space-time]

Ah.... slowly, alright? That's solid ice you're standing on.

[Voice]

[chibiremlover]

Ice? [Vash slowly tries to stand again. Oh look! He's at least standing upright now! Once he's up he stares up at the sky and shouts at it. There must be a camera up there somewhere! They're all over the ship!] J-Joey! H-h-help! I'm lost!

It-it's like b-being in the c-cold room, b-but whe-where are the s-sleeping p-p-pe-people?

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

Uh, there's no one up there!

You're outside, kid!

[Voice]

[chibiremlover]

No! I c-can't b-be! R-R-Re-Rem s-said th-there's no a-air in s-s-s-space! [His panic makes his stutter so much worse.] I j-just g-got to f-f-find the d-door! Like th-the r-rec r-ro-oo-om! [He also forgets that slow thing in his panic and falls flat on his back again.]

OW! [Huh... why does it feel like something is attached to his back?]

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[Jeez, he didn't have nearly this much trouble with Wolfwood. He's trying to be as patient as possible, though, because the poor guy is sacred and it might get worse and -- Damn it, stop falling, Vash!]

Careful. Panicking will just make shit worse, alright?

Look; you're not in space, or a room. Or a ship. You're outside. And I need you to take a few deep breaths before you start hyperventilating on me.

[Voice]

[chibiremlover]

O-okay. But how c-can I not b-be in the sh-shi- [And sitting up and - oh look at that. Wings.] AHHHHHHH! I have w-wings! W-what happened?! Am I d-dead?!

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

No, you're not.

I'll explain everything when I find you, but right now I need you to flash your journal at the lake so I know which one you're at.

[Voice]

[chibiremlover]

B-but... if I'm n-not in the s-s-ship and I have wi-wings... [He sniffles. It's just too hard to talk right now with his teeth chattering so badly.] O-o-ok-ay... [He turns the journal around and slowly pans it around the lake - don't mind the shaking. Hopefully it's not giving you a headache.]

[oda_hates_me]

[The moment he's sure of the location, there's a lapse in conversation as he double-times it to get over to the lake. Getting jumped by the Marines and having to flee on the spur of the moment really does wonders for his overall speed, and he's got the motivation to cover a lot of ground. It isn't too long (hopefully) by the time he reaches the lake and spots a small figure still out on the ice]

... Oi.

[chibiremlover]

[Wow... you're tall. And you're really awake. Have a confused and shivering child staring at you.] H-hi.

[Action]

[oda_hates_me]

[hello, confused and shivering child. Sanji will not introduce you to a coat. It's gonna be long, but it's warm and right now that's what matters]

You hurt anywhere?

[Action]

[chibiremlover]

[He gives a shake of his head for an answer. Not hurt at all. In fact, his body will never be in better shape again in his life! He's just VERY cold. Oooh. Coat. Don't mind him as he snuggles into it, before trying to talk again.]

Is t-this... really r-real?
