The Atroma Shopping Network

[Vash may not catch it, but The Atroma Shopping Network has been selling a few things from his home planet. Namely a few wanted posters with his face on it. Wow, those are a lot of zeros. The broadcaster will smile and talk about how this is an authentic wanted poster from the world of Gunsmoke, or No-man's Land, as some like to call it. See the details of the sand damaged edges? This is just a must have for collectors of western and outlaw memorabilia. As Vash the Stampede may be one of the most dangerous outlaws in the entire galaxy wanted dead or alive for sixty billion double dollars in his planet's currency!

While it's rumored that he's been involved in over 300 incidents of damage and destruction, some of his most famous crimes include: The murder of Count Lebnant Vasques. Causing class G weapon damage. Putting a crater into the planet's fifth moon. And of course the destruction of the major city of July overnight which lead to the death of over a million people. Call in now as supplies are limited!

Anyone is welcome to see this broadcast, but Vash himself has unfortunately missed it. As after he wasn't able to call in to buy a donut maker set he gave up on watching it.]

Planet Side

[Part of the reason Vash missed the broadcast? He's spending just about his WHOLE time planet side. At first just standing memorized by the snow. He's never seen or experienced anything like it before. Hardly even SEEN photos of it before. It's much colder than he though it would be.

Eventually it doesn't take too long before Vash rushes in and starts playing with the snow like a child. At first just grabbing armfuls and tossing it into the air. Kicking it around, flopping around into it, and just laughing at how wet it is. At some point in his play he'll realize the snow can also be packed. Which is bad news for people.

Where you just trying to take a quiet walk? Well TOO BAD. Because Vash has gotten some of the planet's kids in on his play. There are snow forts and the snowballs are flying. So that snowball that just smacked into your back? It totally wasn't thrown by the idiot in a bright red coat, hat, and gloves screaming: OH CRAP and ducking behind a snow fort. Nope. Not at all.

Or a bit of a slower paced snow fun? As Vash will have also discovered the joys of snowman building, although he's not very good at it yet, give him a hand?

And in the evenings he'll eventually drag himself back inside a bar to shiver, drip, and warm up with a strong drink of whiskey or hot chocolate..... spiked with vodka. Join him by the fire?]

Yeah! This is the first time I've ever had the chance to play in snow! It's been a blast! [He laughs and signals a thumbs up to the kids.] I didn't realizes I could have so much fun with something so cold! These kids have actually taught me everything I know so far!

Really? [he looks surprised, for a moment...] Do they not have snow where you're from?

Nope! Not at all! It sure is a lot of fun though!

Hah, well--just don't let someone shove your face in it, and it'll stay that way.

[he brushes the last of the sludgy cold stuff from his hair...]

Oh, and don't catch a cold.

Well, it's too late on that first one. Although, I kinda fell face first into it. Ice is a lot more slippery than I thought it would be! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

All right, all right. You'll get used to it, no worries.

[he claps Vash all friendly-like in the shoulder.]

So, while we're both soggy and frozen... Can I buy you a drink?

Can you ever! [If you thought he was already full of energy; somehow Vash perks up even more at the idea of a free drink.] A nice warm drink sounds awesome! And if we're still cold maybe I can buy you a round too!

[oh no... be still, his beating heart. what a cute answer.]

Sounds like a plan, Stretch. Let's see what they've got around here.

[haha time to shuffle on through the snow to get this guy a drink. even if it's hot chocolate he doesn't even care. C:]

[Vash grins brightly. His long legs easily stepping through the snow.] I know a place that has some good drinks not too far from here! [Mostly because Vash might have done this a couple times already while the planet has been in range.]

Sounds good to me. [these tall people and their long legs... but he's pretty good with snow, so he shuffles along behind him.]

[Vash leads the way to the nearest place to grab a bit of food and warm drinks. Nothing fancy, but the staff is friendly and the food isn't ALL the goop they can get on the ships.

Vash will ask for a table for two and he'll flop himself over the chair and start shedding off several layers of winter clothes. His face still beat read despite his layering.] So! Coffee? Hot chocolate? Tea? Or were you thinking of something maybe a little stronger?

[this is so nice! usually he's the one who has to run these things. he doesn't have much of a jacket to take off, but he peels off his leather gloves and take a casual seat at the table himself. his nose and cheeks are still kind of red too, but it fades quickly.]

I like stronger... But I'll get you whatever you'd like.

Oh, I'm always happy to go stronger! More so when someone else is buying them!

[Vash waves his arm in the air and shouts at the top of his lungs.] Hey! Waiter lady! Two hot drinks with a kick to them, alright! Thanks!

[PFFT he laughs while he leans back in his chair.]

Don't call her waiter lady, you aren't drunk yet. Settle down.

Why not? She's a waiter and a lady isn't she? [And said 'waiter lady' comes over to set a couple drinks down for them looking just a bit deadpan. This wasn't the first time Vash had come in on one of her shifts. She had an idea what to expect from the harmless idiot.]

Danke, danke! [Vash grabs at the drink and holds it in his hands for a moment.] Ahhhh! Nice and warm!

What happened to manners around here? Honestly...

[but he looks happy when their drinks come all the same... bless this woman's heart. he will tip her well. he's quick to grab his up in his hands too. his fingers don't stay cold for long, but the sensation is still nice.]

A world with no snow, huh? What's a place like that like, anyway?

Very hot and very dry. [He chuckles into drink as if he told a joke as he carefully tries to take a drink.] Hot!

Like a desert? [he brings his drink up towards his face, but doesn't try yet... it's more mirroring, than anything.]

Give the man a prize! [Vash grins and blows at his drink. Having learned a lesson about trying to drink it too quickly.] That first planet we were on? Pretty much my home town. Except a little nicer, but with a bit more life sucking.

All those guys dressed up in the face paint, huh? That actually wasn't so far from what my hometown was like, too...

[he'll take a tiny sip of his drink, much more careful. it's pretty strong! even just this little bit is nice...]

...Except my hometown is under the ground. In large caves, much colder than a desert.

Well, the face paint wasn't exactly something we did back home.

[Vash takes a sip from his own drink. Still hot, but at least he didn't burn himself this time.]

Underground, huh? I'm not sure if I'd really like that. As hot as the sun is I think I'd miss seeing it if I lived underground all the time.

I missed it too. I'll be honest... Being able to see the sky again, whenever I want, is a treasure.

Heh, bet you didn't expect to be flying around in the sky before waking up here, huh?
