Rikku was hobbling around, passing out air fresheners and opening all the windows and doors she could to help get the smell of cinnamon and feet gone. She run into almost everybody...

And then literally ran into Vash. Curse these braces--it made her legs all heavy and crap! She was constantly tripping over her cane or her own feet!

"Oh, sorry!"

[stampeded]

"Gah-!"

He couldn't stop in time to avoid it, and ended up tripping while he was trying to untangle himself from her, the shotgun under his coat making an audible clang! when he hit the ground.

Vash picked himself off the floor with as much dignity as he could muster, "Rikku! Are you okay? Have you seen Hana?"

[tiny_tinker_toy]

"Hi Vash! Yes, I'm okay, no I haven't seen Hana, and what just went 'clunk'?"

Rikku scrambled up, collecting her bag of air fresheners. Wow, today was hectic. "Want a donut-scented air freshener?"

As if summoned by the offer of air-fresheners Ryoji poked his head out of his room right across the hall. HIs face still held a green palor from the smell of pickles in the air, and his eyes were droppy from sleep, but he managed a week smile at Vash and Rikku.

"What's going on?"

[stampeded]

"I have to find him, it's impor- wait, donuts?"

Vash had noticed the odd smell of the ship, but he had admittedly been too occupied to really pay attention to it. Or to pay attention to the fact that it was everywhere.

He gave Ryoji a wave before telling Rikku, "If you've got donut ones, I'll take twenty!"

Rikku handed Vash a box. "I knew it. Sorry about the feet and cinnamon smell, by the way," she said. "Tar remover backfired. There's a good three dozen donut-scented air fresheners. I know you. And why is finding Hana so important?"

Then again, she needed to talk to him too. She wanted to find out how the thing with Ness went.

Ryoji waved back half-heartedly, stepping fully out of his room to stand next to Rikku. The smell had hit him harder then most, and unknown to him the building energies of the upcoming Long Night were making his skin itch. He had tried to sleep the odd feeling off, but it wasn't helping.

"Yeah... how is Hana by the way? I heard there was something going on on the journals..."

[stampeded]

"Thanks, Rikku!" Three dozen... he held the box reverently, even stroking it a little. He would be making good use of these... the captain's cabin could use about ten of them, and surely Ryuzaki would appreciate having a few in his own office.

"Oh, I need to talk to him." Vash's smile got a tiny bit less friendly as he said it. "I'm not sure how he is, but I'll be finding out soon enough."

With that, he stepped around Rikku carefully before starting to walk towards the infirmary again, his steps hasty.

[tiny_tinker_toy]

Uh-oh. Three dubloons said this was either about Ilya's joke, or Vash had learned to hack and was gonna get on Hana for Ness. Either way, damage control was needed.

"He's been having some...relationship issues," Rikku vaugely replied to Ryoji as she hobbled after Vash. "But I think everything's worked out."

[date_with_death]

Ryoji nodded at Rikku, but instead of heading back into his room he trailed after her, looking worried.

"I... I don't like that smile of Vash's very much." He said softly, so Vash wouldn't hear.
