[Vash is in a good mood today. No, not good - a great mood. He should feel bad that Wolfwood is stuck here, but it’s just so good to see him again. There’s so many thing to tell… and not tell… him. Like the changing weather Luceti has! Which is why he’s at the clothing store today. He remembers waking up in Luceti in the snow and how cold it was.

Va-

[That name, followed by that voice. His blood runs cold, and he flinches as the book snaps shut from the other man's end. Fuck. Why did he have to show up, too?!]

Shit!!

[Audio] - hopping a bit here.

[bernardelli]

Mr. Wolfwood. That voice... it's.. We've got to go and find him. Now.

[He's already got his hand on his Punisher at the sound of her voice.]

Yeah... but.

...

If we're there when Legato is, we'll more than likely just become something for him to manipulate. We can't just throw ourselves into the middle of it unless we know it's the best decision, all right?

[Because Vash'll be really pissed if I left you fall into that ordeal.]

[Audio]

[bernardelli]

[ She stops a moment and quietly makes a distressed sound. It'd be just like before... he'd get hurt, just like before. ]

... Right.

Re: [Audio]

[She can't see it, but his hard look falters. Because they both know that they can't do anything when it came to just Vash and Legato-the man didn't want to kill him, just make him suffer in life. And the best way to do that to a man like Needle Noggin...]

They're probably somewhere around that item shop, right? We'll have to be careful and at least go see if everything's all right. That guy's got plenty of screws loose. If he's hurting people, then we've gotta at least try, even if Vash would hate it.

[bernardelli]

[ There's some relief to hearing that. She doesn't want to wait. She wants to do something, anything. ]

Yes, he should be there. I doubt they went very far from the clothing shops.

... After what happened, I don't know how well Vash will be able to handle this... so, we definitely need to do whatever we can.

Re: [Audio]

[not_a_bluesbro]

[After what happened. He wonders about that, and he'll definitely ask.]

Alright... Let's go then.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[OH HAI GUYZ! Guess who's not far from the clothing store looking rather deep in thought!]

[Action]

[bernardelli]

Okay.

[ Go go team Stampede! But what will they find? When they get there... well... it seems pretty uneventful. ]

Re: [Action]

[not_a_bluesbro]

[Thank the sweet mother Mary, too. B|]

[When he finally sees Vash, his shoulders sag with relief. No one in sight matching that maniac's description... So he can just casually stroll over with unused Punisher on his back.

Already he's had to almost use it. No rest for the wicked, it seems.]

Needle noggin-you shouldn't scare people like that.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Blinks and his serious face is suddenly gone; replaced with a sheepish smile.] Ah... sorry about that.

[Action]

[bernardelli]

[ She sighs out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

And walks over quietly.

And smacks him upside the head. ]

Don't give us that fake answer in that stupid voice!

[>:| Good hit, Meryl! A+!]

You just snap your stupid journal shut after a freaky warning like that? Just what happened? He just walked off and left everything as is or what?

[Action] 1/2

[goldenglasses]

Ow... you didn't have to hit me that hard. [Old habits are hard to break! Rubs his sore head and then the serious face is back.]

...kinda. He said he was tired. He seems... a little off.

[Action] 2/2

[goldenglasses]

Well, you know... off for him.

[Action]

[bernardelli]

Tired? I'm not surprised. I bet they've done just as much to him physically as they did to us.
