[Vash can be found today fairly deep in the woods. He went out that far in order to not be disturbed, but like that really matters in a place like Luceti. He’s rigged up a target on a rope that he’s run through several of the branches so that he can stand at the far end and yank on the rope and have the target swing down

[Hisoka's been using the woods for similar reasons, especially since the latest New Feather cycle has left the village particularly noisy. He's within earshot when the target practice commences and, naturally assuming someone else is getting killed given the slant Luceti's taken lately, rushes toward the sound, a hand hovering over the concealed gun at his side. It's almost disappointing when he's close enough to tell that it's just a marksman nitpicking his work.]

He would've been dead enough. What's the difference?

[goldenglasses]

[He jumps slightly, having not expected company.] No! That’s what’s wrong! Just that little bit… if I’m off even just that much it could do some real damage to someone! No one has the right to kill another!

[aphephobic]

[His eyes shift from Vash's face to the gun and back again, raising an eyebrow quizzically.] That's a weird way to be a pacifist.

[goldenglasses]

[Sighs and re-holsters his gun.] It was a gift and I decided it should be used to help those who are suffering.

[Vash, Luffy is also gonna be there. Since he trains to become a wolf lion and stuff. And he's really excited about what you did]

I knew you were really good with guns! How'd you do that!?

[goldenglasses]

[What!? Luffy!? Crap… now he’ll never hear the end of it.] I uh… got lucky!

[gomugomunopwn]

What? But you said that wasn't good enough...

[goldenglasses]

Yeah it wasn't I was uh... aiming for... uh... the tree behind it! [Oh god; dumbest lie ever.]

[earthrumblegod]

[Toph's hanging around too, and is shocked by the sound. She senses it's Vash- who she didn't now had come bac to the world of the living yet. She's rushing up to greet you.] Vash! You're back!

[goldenglasses]

Toph! [Smiles, even if you can't see it you should be able to hear it in his voice!] Good to see you again!

[earthrumblegod]

[This 'person came back from being dead!' thing is still kind of weird to her. Good, but really kind of creepy and weird. Good to know, though. Really.] Good to see you, too! And by 'see' I mean...yeah. You know. [Toph gives you a friendly punch in the arm. You know, like you do.] I was- really worried about you. Y'know, when I- heard. [Trail off into awkward. BAWW. TOPH.]

[goldenglasses]

I'm sorry that you had to hear something like that. [Pause] But I'm alright now, really.

What are you doing way out here anyway? [ARE YOU LOST TOPH!?]

[unseenspy]

[Jay tries to get away from people by going into the forest (again), but he always happens to find someone there. He has a white bandage on his forehead to cover up the Geostigma bruise (and it almost blends in perfectly with his ghostly pale skin).]

Oh bother...

[goldenglasses]

[Vash peers up when he hears talking.] Oh hey, how's your head?

[unseenspy]

Um...it's better.

[At least it hasn't hurt or bled since the accidental broadcast, so it has to be better. Nothing to worry about...]

[goldenglasses]

[Peers at that bandage. He wants to comment on it but won't.] T-that's good. I'm glad it's doing better.

[oda_hates_me]

[Yes, unfortunately for Vash, it's not that easy to escape people in this place. And Sanji's taken to long, long walks through the forest almost daily, just to think and pretend he's not bottled up in a place he can't escape.

He's humming to himself this time around, every now and then adding a few words to the melody. It chokes in his throat, though, when he hears the sounds of bullets close by, and lets out a startled "O-OI!". Who the hell was that?]

[goldenglasses]

[Oh god... another person. This is another reason Vash tried to go deep. To not worry people. Oh well. Too late. He yells so whoever it is can hear him.] Uh! It's alright! Just practicing

[oda_hates_me]

[... he knows that voice]

Oh? Practicing what?

[goldenglasses]

[giahglaeahfieuagh! Sanji!?] What are you doing out here? [Ignoring question.]
