[When the feed clicks on, at first all that's visible is tangled bed sheets. There's a soft murmur that may or may not have been a curse as the watch is flipped over to reveal a battered and beaten but no longer broken Switzerland. He winces before he speaks, being careful to not draw too deep a breath for his still mending ribs and freshly whole ( Read more... )

[Lavi blinks a bit, turning on his communicator and wincing in sympathy at what he sees.] Looks like you've seen better days, Vash. Glad to hear from you again.

[He pauses.] Couple weeks. Did you miss the festival then? And the maze that tried to eat everyone?

[Video] neutralbyforce October 9 2011, 01:43:52 UTC

[Vash manages a small smile at the greeting-- which turns into a blank look at that second part.]

...There was a festival? And a maze? ...A carnivorous maze? ...The last I remember is falling asleep after the housewarming party I threw... Probably a sign that I'm really not the partying type.

[Video] weaponsofwords October 9 2011, 06:44:37 UTC

There was, yeah. Big harvest sort of deal. Most of it was very nice. Except the maze. [A sigh.] The maze wasn't entirely carnivorous itself, just full of things that wanted people dead. And ah, got what it wanted. Luckily, the dead didn't stay dead.

[A pause.] Heh. Maybe not. But how are you doing? Have to admit I was kind of worried when I heard what shape you'd turned up in. Not a good vacation?

[Video] neutralbyforce October 10 2011, 00:17:13 UTC

...The dead didn't...

[Vash winces and rubs his forehead. Okay, really, he shouldn't be all that surprised, but... Well, moving on.]

How am I doing? Well, I'm still breathing and apparently I'm much better than I was, considering I'm awake and talking. As best I can tell... and as best I can remember... is that I was in the Catacombs. I have no idea how I got there, but apparently that's not a rare thing. All the reserves I have for healing got used up, so it's taking quite a bit longer than normal for me to get back in shape. Still, being alive is a good start. And I've had several very good nurses.

[Well now, Temper had wondered if this one had gone and gotten himself too hurt to pop up again. How nice to see he was mistake. He turns on the communicator to watch silently for a moment.]

What trouble did you get yourself into?

[Video] neutralbyforce October 9 2011, 01:53:04 UTC

[Vash stares at the communicator for a few moments-- okay, this was not one of the people he had been expecting to hear from. He attempts to raise an eyebrow but only manages a wince.]

I assume I was in the catacombs. How I got there... well, I was hoping you might be able to answer that.

[Video] tempervale_npc October 9 2011, 06:45:42 UTC

[Temper shakes his head slightly.] The catacombs are strange places. Certainly there are bad children who deserve some time to think that wind up there, but that's not the type you are. Is it?

[Video] neutralbyforce October 10 2011, 00:05:24 UTC

...Are you trying to imply that the Catacombs are beyond your control? That you had no idea what was happening to me in them? Because I would find that more terrifying than the whole ordeal I just went through if I were you... That there are things in this city beyond even your almighty powers.

Unless you're just playing dumb and you knew exactly what was going on, and then I should be asking you exactly what I did to deserve getting sent there.

[Beyond plotting to unseat Temper and his "family" as the rulers of the city. But that's nothing new.]

[It's a relief to see that Vash is all in one piece, even if she'd known that from helping at the clinic.] I can give you a detailed report if you want. Might make for some decent bedside reading.

[Video] neutralbyforce October 9 2011, 03:16:09 UTC

[Vash manages a small smile at Jan.]

That sounds wonderful, Jan. I suspected you might have something of the sort.

[He frowns momentarily, trying to dredge up the memories from that haze of pain and agony that had been... well, really not long enough ago.]

...And... I think... I have you to thank for helping me before... right?

[At the very least, he thinks he remembers 202 mentioning her name.]

[Video] sf_girl_friday October 9 2011, 17:22:08 UTC

Writing up reports for someone who's on bed rest is a specialty of mine.

I was there, but I didn't - [She blushes faintly, which is better than the pallor she would have taken on if she thought too much about his wounds. Medical treatment isn't one of those things on Jan's list of skills to be confident of, even after Chapel's training.] I just did what was needed.

[Video] neutralbyforce October 9 2011, 21:53:07 UTC

[Vash shakes his head a little.] I needed a lot, I think. [He must have for him to still be in this state. All the natural healing reserves he had have been used up and then some.] So any help you gave, I appreciate.

As for the report, feel free to bring it over whenever. I'm not going anywhere for a while... [He winces again.] Make that a long while.

[gnghfjl-- Those would be hands juggling the communicator between palms before Naoki appears in view. He's been worried about you, Vash, excuse the wide eyes.

Then he smiles, relieved. He searches for a lot of things to say like 'how are you?' (kind of a silly question when Vash is still recovering) and-- Hm! He settles on,]

Hey, welcome back.

[Video] neutralbyforce October 10 2011, 00:39:33 UTC

[Managing a soft chuckle without too much gasping, Vash nods to Naoki.]

Good to be back... Naoki. I understand... I think I have you to thank for how well I'm doing, at least in part.

[Video] scalethetower October 10 2011, 00:44:19 UTC

Not at all. [Naoki shakes his head vehemently.] No thanks needed.

I'm just glad you're doing better.

[Video] neutralbyforce October 11 2011, 23:37:03 UTC

[Vash smiles softly at Naoki's enthusiasm.] Yes. Much better. I take it... I really was as bad as I felt?

"GAH! VASH BRO! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!"

[Video] neutralbyforce October 10 2011, 00:26:50 UTC

[Vash blinks a few times at his communicator before the ringing in his ears settles down.]

Ah-- Hello, Scott. I just had a small trip down to the Catacombs, that's all.

Re: [Video] heardramonasing October 14 2011, 21:56:59 UTC

"Why do you say that like it's nothing?! What happened while you were down there?! Are you okay?! Gah! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE GOING DOWN THERE!?"

[Scott is obviously furious at the fact that his friend went on an adventure without him. Perhaps he feels a bit guilty that perhaps he wouldn't be injured if he had had Scott along for the journey? That's a big "Yes".]

[Video] neutralbyforce October 16 2011, 01:45:04 UTC

It wasn't a planned trip, Scott. I'd rather never go down there ever, planned or otherwise. As for what happened to me down there... apparently there were things that were not pleased to see me. But I'm better now, I've had several very good impromptu doctors. Calm down, Scott.

[Vash shakes his head slightly in amusement-- he's touched that Scott cares so much.]
