Who: Vash and you!
Broadcast: Voice - open to all
Action: On the planet
When: Just before the planet gets out of reach

[Vash has been very busy these past couple weeks. Namely at being utterly awe-struck at the sight of so much water. It was just so BIG even if drinking it was a thing he knew not to do. He was loving exploring every inch of the place, which is why he wasn't concerned at first when he misplaced his communicator. Now with the planet likely being too far out to return to soon he's making sure he didn't leave it on the surface.

He didn't, but it did somehow manage to wedge itself in an awkward spot between the bunk and the wall. Which is how he accidentally turns it on while reaching for it. The fleet is given some quality entertainment with a blank screen, some male sounding grunts, a few "come on!"s before there is finally an: AH-HA! And Vash's face finally shows on the screen.

The outlaw has his typical easy going smile on his face. Although his hair hasn't been properly styled just yet so it's falling down in some places instead of perfectly standing up like a broom.]

THERE you are my sneaky little friend! Is that where you've been hiding all this time? You had me worried you were lost at sea for a minute there! I'm glad I finally found... why is there a blinking light? OH CRAP ITS BROADCASTING!

[He follows his panicked shout with embarrassed laughter as he goes back smiling at the camera.] Well, ah, whoops! I guess! Hahaha! Sorry about that! But looks like we'll be too far to go back soon so I hope everyone has everything they need off the planet! And WOW! What a planet! It may be my favourite one yet! I hope we pass another like it soon! I've never seen an ocean like that, well... since ever! I hope everyone else has a good time too! And ah... well, I guess I didn't really mean to turn this on so ah... yeah! I'm going to go take one more look at it myself!

[If you want to run into Vash he will be sitting quietly on the beach with an honest smile on his face. Getting loss in his thoughts as he stares. How he wished he could show everyone back home this.]

[Vash throws his head back in happy laughter.] Haha! Yeah! I really, really do!

I mean, donuts are great! But there's something about this ocean. Something... I don't know. I just can't put words to it. There's so many people I'd love to share this view with if I could.

...So this is a romantical kind of thing? Because there are girls here if you want them to share the view.

No, not really, I mean just people-people. But I could see why this would be a great spot for a date!

I guess maybe part of it is coming from a place where it's so hot and dry all the time. You can't drink it, but just being near the ocean and being able to walk into it just feels cooling. Not to mention it make you really just how tiny people really are.

Well, being in space is pretty good with doing that too.

Oh. I'm the opposite way, actually. I grew up in the South Pole, surrounded by water all the time. The beach part is nice, but large bodies of water are nothing new for me.

...Yeah, ain't that the truth.

There's parts surrounded by water WITHOUT a beach? [Its his first ocean; so much to learn still.]

...Yeees? Lots of places, actually.

Huh. I guess I figured this was the way oceans worked. I didn't think much that there would be other ways to get to an ocean. So if you didn't have a beach what did you have? Rocks?

No, we just have, well, ice. Lots of ice. I mean, some places have rocks? But for us? Mostly ice.

Ice? [Vash considers that bit of information for a moment.] But... wouldn't the ocean water also freeze into ice?

No, because the salt in it stops it from freezing. Because, you know, sea water

Oh yeah, I guess that's true. I've never had much experience with ice back home. So the ocean water where you're from is salty too. Too bad. It would be nice to be able to drink all that water.

Well, there's ways of desalinating it, it just takes time and a lot of fire.

At least there's the option I suppose. Even if it takes awhile. It would be an awful tease if you were dying of thirst and couldn't drink any of the water.
