His worst nightmare

[goldenglasses]

Who: Vash the Stampede
Broadcast: Nextwork, video
Action: Kitchen of SS Three Twins
When: Afternoon on the 10th

[There is a mess of protein smashed together in front of him on the table. When the video turns on there's a rather bedraggled and stressed out Vash. Dark circles under his eyes and the rare frown on his face.]

Please! For the love of everything pure in the world! TELL ME SOMEONE HERE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE DONUTS OUT OF THIS STUFF!

[Action for SS Three Twins]

[Vash will be trying to search down his crew mates after his short cry over the network. He has a question for each of them.]

So, apparently we need to pick a captain? You want the job? [Because he doesn't. He thinks he'd be bad at it, but he will if everyone else is adamant about not taking it.]

Comments

[catamite]

[another high, nervous little laugh!]

I can't be captain...

[goldenglasses]

Huh? Why not? Are you allergic or something somehow?

[catamite]

I couldn't lead something...

[that's a yes. he's pretty much allergic.]

[goldenglasses]

What? Why not? I'm sure you'd be great at it!

[catamite]

[he shakes his head! smiling, but definitely looking nervous to even be talking about it]

No... no, I really wouldn't.

[goldenglasses]

You never know until you try! Not saying you have to take the job, but have you tried it before? You might actually be really good!

[catamite]

Nooo... I've never led anything, and... it sounds like a lot of work.

[responsibility is scary!!]

[goldenglasses]

Ugh. You're right. It does sound like a lot of work. And I've never tried it either. [Which is part of the reason he really doesn't want the job himself.]

[catamite]

I bet you'll be good at it, actually.

[pretty glad for even the slight change in focus. and he's easily all smiles again, putting on his best encouraging face]

[goldenglasses]

I don't know... [He sighs in a dramatic way.] I'll just hope Ino or Katniss wants the job!

[catamite]

The girls?

[oops someone might be a little accidentally sexist.]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah? Why not?

[catamite]

You want them to be captain?

[goldenglasses]

Sure! If they want the job and think they'd be fair captains!

[catamite]

Oh...

If you say so. [he smiles, despite that he thinks it's kind of weird]

[goldenglasses]

Why? You don't think so? I mean, I don't really know much about them either, but they don't seem too bad a choice for captain yet.

[catamite]

Girls just don't usually do that kind of thing, I guess.

[goldenglasses]

What? Why not?

[catamite]

[he shrugs]

Because guys usually do it.

[goldenglasses]

Maybe, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be just as good at it. [Vash is SLOWLY starting to guess what he's dealing with here. Slowly losing the jokes as he goes.]

[catamite]

[and Nel remains pretty oblivious. at least he doesn't sound terribly convicted about the whole thing]

I guess not. Guys just take charge more, you know?

[goldenglasses]

Girls do that too. At least in my world they do. Trust me. A woman scorned is one of the scariest things to have to deal with!

[catamite]

[he laughs a little] That is true.

But yeah I guess the girls I know just... don't do stuff like that.

[goldenglasses]

We need to introduce you to more girls then I think!

[catamite]

[he... laughs...]

I've known a lot of girls...
