The First Doughnut:: Dawn of someone else's new day

[mayflychaser]

[1:313 Miller Street, in front of his house, morning]

[Slowly, softly, light poured into the master bedroom.  Vash's eyes opened.  He did not otherwise move.  The events prior had drained most of his spirit for much anything.]

Augusta.  I destroyed the entire city, didn't I?...

...didn't I?

[Vash bolted up right suddenly.  He was on a bed, in a room,

[Have a sigh.]

What do you mean by that? Bakery? There's one down that way, at
Achewood.

[mayflychaser]

[Vash grins]

Achewood. I'll keep that in mind. I take it you're from around here?

[diafryougi]

For the time being, yes.

I am Azaka Kokutou. If you have any questions, I may be able to answer them.

[mayflychaser]

Another mysterious arrival. I've begun to meet a few now.

Thank you. How much do you know about this place?

[diafryougi]

Ahh well...

I've been here long enough to get the basic idea. I can also be your tour guide if you want.

[mayflychaser]

Perhaps tomorrow. Today I believe I may have my own thoughts to attend to.

You're kind for offering though. It's a good quality of you.

[diafryougi]

You think so? Um...Thanks.

[Hold on a minute! You didn't even tell her your name. She pouts a little.]

May I ask for your name, sir?

[mayflychaser]

[He's quite good at that sadly. He pauses, thinking hard on his answer...then makes the stupidest scary face possible.]

If I were to tell you that I'm Vash, the the legendary bounty and gunman, what would you say?

[diafryougi]

[Azaka holds her breath for a moment.]

You sound dangerous but there's nothing I much can do about it.

[She replies naturally.]

[mayflychaser]

[The face breaks into one of the stupidest looking grins ever. Vash begins laughing.]

Well it's a good thing I'm nothing like that then, haha!

[And then the tone becomes more...suave. Vash makes the shape of a gun with his fingers.]

Sort of. For you see, I *am* dangerous. Dangerous to beautiful women. I'm a hunter of peace who chases the mayfly known as love. And when I set my sights on a girl's heart, my bullets never miss their mark. Pchooo.

[diafryougi]

Are you serious?

Please, don't joke around like that.

[mayflychaser]

[Tone seems to be all over the place today, as it's become rapidly serious in a comical way.]

Indeed! Let's not waste time on silly questions. Now that I think about it, I realize I am great indeed of your most gracious assistance!

[diafryougi]

Eh? What are you saying all of a sudden?!

[She sighs.]

Fine fine, tell me what's on your mind.

[mayflychaser]

[Did I say serious? I meant meekly. At least right now.]

Uh...do you know where the Library is?

[diafryougi]

The local library is located downtown. It's in the same district as the bakery.

[mayflychaser]

Oh hey! That's going to be real convenient! Someone suggested I should go there today. Said something about a pamphlet.
