Alright! I am back to my normal masculine self! That means I am going to kick Legato's ass go to work without feeling like I need to wear a dress!

Oh yeah, since that guy Legato is being such a pain and always talking about me, I suppose I should just explain something here. I'm sort of a pacifist. I really don't like it when people hurt each

[bartok_bat]

I agree completely, sir! Violence shouldn't be necesarry but in rare cases, sir.

[outlawdisaster]

It's really terrible when people have to fight and hurt each other!

[voice]

[bartok_bat]

I know, sir!

Why can't everything be decided through hugs and chocolate, sir?

[outlawdisaster]

I'd rather have donuts but you're right! Why can't people solve their problems by hugs and love and food?

[voice]

[bartok_bat]

I like hugs, sir! Do you like them, sir?

And I've never had a donut, but I'd give it a try! I like chocolate and cheese, though, sir!

[outlawdisaster]

They can be nice!

Nothing beats a donut fresh from the oil with sprinkles, frosting or sugar of your choice.

Oh, I'm Vash. Who are you?

[bartok_bat]

I'm Bartok, sir. I'm a Russian White Bat!

[outlawdisaster]

...A Russian White Bat? What's Russian?

Would you like to try a donut?

[bartok_bat]

Oh, right, that, sir. Yes, people explained that to me, sir.

Russia is the nation I'm from, sir, on Earth. Cold place. Lots of snow, sir.

I'd love to try a donut, sir! Would you like to try some cheese, sir?

[outlawdisaster]

You come from Earth? Wow! I never knew there was a country called Russia there! And it has snow? Wow.

Sure!

[voice]

[bartok_bat]

Yes, sir, sometimes snow as deep as five or six feet!

That's a lot when you're my size, sir.

[outlawdisaster]

I've never seen snow before except in pictures and old movies.

It sounds really deep.

[voice]

[bartok_bat]

It can be hard to fly when my wings freeze up, sir. So I usually spend the winters resting in a cave or somewhere, sir.

Or I did, until I was here, sir.

[outlawdisaster]

Well, it's getting close to spring here so hopefully you won't freeze up any more.

Do bats normally talk where you're from?

[voice]

[bartok_bat]

No, sir, I'm kind of special.

I mean, sure, they talk, sir, but not how you understand. They speak Bat. Like this:

[series of bat chirps and sharp chittering screeches]

Understand, sir?

[outlawdisaster]

Huh, that is interesting. So why are you special?

...Sorry if it sounds rude, I jsut never really seen a bat of any kind before! Back on No Man's Land, we had a lot of native creatures there and not very many Earth animals.
