[Video] Shenanigans

[bountyfull]

[The video cuts on with a somewhat sheepish-looking blonde guy waving, the appendage eerily metallic. It looks like he's filming from a bedroom, but all that can be seen is a desk behind him and a closed door.]

Sooo, uh. I noticed there are a lot of people looking to fight lately. [A lot? Two? Who knows. It's a lot!!!]

What else have people been doing since they got here? You know, other than fighting each other. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to make suggestions.

[he says this with a bit of a laugh, hopeful.Vash inhales a breath like he's about to say something else but there's a hitch in his breath as he does so and instead of continuing with his thought he just... lets out a horrible sneeze that might seem more at home on some old grandpa than the 20 something looking guy it just came out of.

...And somehow, there's just a little hint of a rumble. Maybe something in the background sways a little, but Vash immediately winces, eyes wide as he stands like a deer that just had a spotlight put on it. ...He's really gotta get a handle on this magic shit.

From offscreen, there is a yelp, a clatter that sounds like a pot hitting the floor, then an explosive curse. A moment later, the door to Vash's room bursts open — likely from a strong kick — and there is a sharp,]

Hey, dumbass—

[The yelp that the door slamming open elicits out of Vash is nigh comical, almost as comical as his full body scramble (not unlike some kind of prey animal or lizard rushing along) to the phone to cut the video out with a distressed little wave.]

Hey now! We haven't all been fighting.

Some of us have been fucking instead!

Some people do both!

[bountyfull]

[It's a minute before he responds, to be honest.]

That's not really the kind of thing I had in mind either.

[This question was a Mistake.]

un: abnormalitylover, video

[abnormalizes]

Is that a lot of fighting? I was just thinking that I haven't seen anyone die here yet and it's kind of starting to be weird. A good weird! But still takes some getting used to.

[Sometimes you are from a dystopia and end up in a fairly chill jamjar and go ????]

Also seconding 'have sex' as an alternative hobby.

[bountyfull]

I figured not all of it is going to be talked about online so maybe...

[He grimaces a little, but then looks thoughtful. Overall? Yeah the lack of actual death and destruction is nice?] I think I kind of like that part.

[essenceborn]

Bye, Vash!

[ IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU ]

[bountyfull]

BYE?!

[Yelped, honestly.]

[sangreine]

[ Keeping this sfw you're welcome ]

Eating's a good one! The bars are nice.

...I was going to say the Segments but there's sort of a lot out there that might involve fighting.

Trying out the new magic they gave us, that doesn't... necessarily involve fighting.

[ She's trying to stick to the assignment. ]

[bountyfull]

[A blessing, tbh. He can tell she's trying.]

Which ones do you like? [The bars, that is. And then, to follow up -- because he clearly needs to get a handle on whatever the hell is going on:]

What are you doing to practice your magic?

[kaientai]

I've been exploring the different parts of the city, hanging around where they keep the airships, trying the different food...

[ he could go on, but he figures that's a good start. ]

I mean, sparring is fun too! There's plenty to do around here, though.

i almost missed this im sorry i love you

[bountyfull]

[Vash nods along, exploring is definitely something he's found he enjoys, there never seems to be an end to new things he can go see.]

Do you think you have a favorite part of the city so far?

[outofoffice]

I think more of us should settle our restlessness through song, rather than violence! There are so many avenues for it, and not only does it benefit the musician, but it benefits all who hear it as well!



Drinking and fucking are good too, though.

Re: video; un: cecilias

[bountyfull]

A musician? What do you play?

[He leans in on the video, almost like he's trying to see if this guy has an instrument nearby or... He exhales a huff of laughter at the last bit. He's catching a trend here...]

action

[cruciform]

( does he corner vash? maybe. does he tackle him? likely. is he gripping the lapels of his jacket? possibly.

wolfwood's jaw is clenched as he glares down at vash and gives him a little shake. just a lil one. )

You ruined my sauce!

abuse

[bountyfull]

I'm sorryyyyyyyy~!! [There's some shallow laughter despite being cornered, tackled and shaken on the floor of his bedroom.]

I'll help you make more! [he's holding his hands up, palms out, in the little space between them. Surrender! Uncle!!!]

[likeiron]

Looks like someone wants to fight you, Vash. Need some help?

un: vash

[bountyfull]

[If this wasn't video he might not have been sure who this was??? But delayed as his response is he lifts one hand up in a 'stop' sort of gesture.]

Hahaha no no, it's okay! We know each other!

[He carefully picks around the word 'friend' because well. Reasons.]

video; un: afairguy

[fairlyheroic]

[sorry, Vash, he's laughing]

Don't let him catch you!

[he's a HELPER]

I've had a few fights ["a few"] but otherwise I've been exploring and looking for work. Gotta keep busy, you know?

audio, then video un: vash

[bountyfull]

[All Zack gets at first is a yelp and the sound of his phone skidding across something (probably the floor), and that's all for like at least 30 minutes. But later he follows up with an actual response. He starts off with a sheepish sort of smile. See, he's fine!! (He totally got caught)]

Busy's fine!! I'm just a little bit of a pacifist if I'm honest. There's ways around it you know?

un: ww

[cruciform]

Little late for that.

( as vash was caught and subsequently punished!! )

[ Hello?? Is no one going to address the earthquake shenanigans?! ] Are you okay?? [ Do you need a doctor?! ]

Was that an earthquake just now?

un: vash

[bountyfull]

[The text is delayed, but he does respond!!.]

Sorry, sorry. Everything is okay!! I'm fine!

Totally not here but—

[erschlagen]

[Rosen will remember this…]

[bountyfull]

[Why!!!! What did he do!!!]

[noarchitact]

I am going to have to echo a similar sentiment - it's not all fighting; however, I do think the fight-y sorts are the loudest and most obnoxious, so they managed to easily overshadow the rest of us.

But a friend and I are trying to organize a festiva- aha~, seems like you live with your own fight-y man.

[bountyfull]

No, no-- Wolfwood's just-- we know each other from home, is all.

[He's avoiding the F word. Vash doesn't get to have those.]

You were saying? Something about a festival?

video; un: taroumaru

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Whoa- are you okay? Do you need any help?

And uh- I've taken to learning about the local food culture myself. Like trying out new dishes and new teas...

[bountyfull]

[It's a minute before Vash actually gets to respond for obvious reasons. When he does it's with a tired laugh.]

I'm fine, don't worry.

That seems like a hobby a lot of people are trying. I know someone was offering cooking lessons before.

I haven't been fighting but I have been looking into work for my skills not involving combat. Also, enjoying my cats.

[One of said cats pop in behind Mira's shoulder, Breezy, and mews.]

[bountyfull]

...Cats?

[Oh. As if on cue. It's cute, Vash's lips quirking up a little.]

What kind of work were you looking for?
