Report 39: [Written]

[bernardelli]

Hm... the apartment's been awfully... quiet since the New Year rolled in.

I always worry when he's like this. I've seen him at his worst, I know, but I don't want him to hurt like this. He takes everything on himself.

Even knowing everything, I still don't understand why such bad things follow a good person like him.

Vash-san has a kind soul. Very admirable, but I'm afraid that there was nothing he could have done. I consider him my friend, but I know even I would have prevented him from doing so.

Does he stay like this for long?

[Written; Filtered]

[bernardelli]

I never did ask him what happened... could you tell me?

He's been a little off for a while, but it's only been like this the past few days.

Certainly! I am sure you have heard of Kefka, yes? Before this, he posed a threat to my nakama, but he didn't fully make himself one until the other day in the plaza, when he attempted to turn the village against Sanji-san.

That backfired, however - besides my crew who came to he and Nami-san's aid, several of Kefka's enemies showed up as well. It is my understanding that they had every right to fight him, in particular that woman he had murdered. Vash-san tried to prevent everyone from fighting, of course, but that would have been unavoidable with such a situation. Kefka was killed, but no one else was hurt terribly.

[ She understands, now. ]

... That kind of situation, it hits him hard.

[he only comments after long consideration; Sanji always feels a little guilty responding to what he figures are the musings of a lady]

So shit like this happens often?

[Written; Filtered]

[bernardelli]

Mm... I guess it does. But, I don't know why, this time. Just that he's upset.

[oda_hates_me]

... Do you know who Kefka is, Meryl-chan?

[ooc: I'm assuming they've met at least once somewhere, if that's okay? >>]

[Written; Filtered]

[bernardelli]

I've heard him mentioned quite a lot, and that he was involved in ... a murder or a disappearance.

[ooc: I'm sure they have met before. XD ]

[gomugomunopwn]

[Because Luffy doesn't do that written crap all that much]

Oi, Meryl.

When Kefka comes back... I'm going after him again. [In other words, he's probably gonna have a run in with Vash]

[Filtered Voice]

[bernardelli]

Be careful, alright?

I don't know what he'll do when that man comes back...

[Filtered Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

I know. I just have to keep kicking his ass until there's nothing left for him to hurt my nakama with.

[Guess who plans to kill Kefka repeatedly? =O]

[Filtered Voice]

[bernardelli]

What a mess...

[Filtered]

[count_gardios]

Everything all right?

[Filtered]

[bernardelli]

In a... sense. No one's hurt.. physically.

[Filtered]

[count_gardios]

That might be a little worse, actually. Anything I can help with.

[Filtered]

[bernardelli]

I wish you could, but there's nothing anyone can do right now.

[Filtered from Vash]

[mikangirl]

...um. I'm sorry. I think some of this is our fault.

[Filtered from Vash]

[bernardelli]

It's alright. It's not your fault, really. I don't blame you, at least.

[Filtered from Vash]

[mikangirl]

[And she's going to take from that that Meryl knows about what actually happened.]

It's just a messy situation all round. I kind of wish for his sake that he hadn't gotten involved.

[Filtered from Vash]

[bernardelli]

Me, too. But he always finds a way to get involved in these things.
