Who: Vash and you!
Broadcast:
Action: On the planet Mor
When: Anytime!

[Vash was having fun on the tourist planet. Even getting into the spirit and finding some clothes that help him fit in a bit better. The illusion just wasn't fun enough for him.

The first few days Vash tries to lay low. Get a feel for the town and the people in it, but soon enough he's relaxing into his old habits of the aimless drifter he was back home. Vash can be found chasing children with a black, ragged robe over his shoulders shouting about how he was the "Black Knight" here to catch and kill them all! That is until the "White Knight" child of the day bravely stands up to him and "kills" the evil Black Knight!

Or perhaps you'll run into Vash as he's helping out at a restaurant washing dishes to make some money for the inn he's staying at. That and the drinks he buys after work at the tavern. The tavern is a very popular place for Vash to hang out at.

Another activity Vash has become very interested in is the archery. He's never used a bow and arrow before, but without his trusty revolver he likes the idea of staying sharp in his targeting abilities. It only takes Vash a few test shots before he gets the hang of the motion (having a mechanical arm doesn't hurt either.) In the open with the trainer he found he doesn't always hit the bull eyes every time, but he's still very good. Although, if someone caught him practicing on his own in the forest they may just catch Vash doing some trick shots and hitting the target's bull eyes every time that he hung up and set up in various trees. Someone doesn't like to show off where people can easily see him.

For the most part Vash is trying to keep out of trouble and having lots of fun eating the food and drinking the ale available! Until one night...

It's hard to tell exactly how or why it got started, but the tavern explodes in shouting late one night. Three figures end up spilling out the door, punches and curses flying and the man stuck in the middle crying out for mercy. Of course, by the time Law Enforcement show up to break up the fight the story is that Vash had thrown himself into the fight and no one really knows how it started so all three are sent to the stocks to think about their foolish behavior and to sober up.]

Oh man. I just wanted a quiet night! I'm going to be late to work tomorrow! I don't want to get fired... awwwwww and what if the chief sees me like this?

[Vash will be whining about his fate as a black eye forms on his face. Come laugh at him, join in with some village members throwing rotten fruit at him, or help him from his fate. At least he'll be out after a day?]

Well, that's good. [Jennifer sighs as she leans in to take a closer look at the eye he was rubbing at- yep, there was definitely going to be a bruise there.]

Still, it looks like you're a little hurt- do you need patching up?

Well, I suppose if you want to help it along with a kiss; that could really help!

[Too bad for Vash even if Jennifer (for some strange reason) wanted to kiss him better, she won't get the chance to as there's a guard approaching the two now.] You there! We have questions for you!

[And by questions it sounds more like arrest.]

[Jennifer stifled a giggle at that and winked heartily.]

I'm spoken for, but if you really think that'll help, I'm sure Rodney wouldn't mind...

[She then looked up at the approaching guard and gulped. She'd hate for this poor man to get thrown in jail, but she was also worried about breaking the charade... but her conscience won out.]

Uhm- he's hurt. Will this take very long?

[The guard gives Jennifer a quick look. One that wants to show respect for a lady, but at the same time not deal with them.] Probably. And he ain't bleedn' so he's fine. [There. He at least answered her. Now he turns attention back to Vash.] Stranger. I gots eye wittiness that says you were part of the fight too. Those two won't answer. So you tell me. What's you were all fightin' about.

[Vash chuckles but the guard sure doesn't look amused at all.] Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not really sure. I kinda somehow got sucked into the middle of all that. Hahaha! Isn't that funny? [Vash may find it funny but the look on the guy's face sure doesn't seem to agree as he looks back over at his partners arguing with two angry drunk men.

What a headache for his shift. He should just put them all in the stocks if they don't want to talk.]

[Jennifer wanted to say something back to the guard, but she swallowed a retort. Her bluff apparently hadn't impressed him, and who knows what sort of trouble she'd cause if she tried to argue internal injuries?]

Yes... I'm sure this was all just an accident, right, sir? Sometimes when men drink too much, they do things they normally wouldn't. And he doesn't look very drunk to me, if you don't mind me saying.

[She looks back at the man, hoping that will be enough to save him from a punishment.]

Yeah! I'm not -hic! I'm not drunk at all! [As the guard rolls his eyes at the other two start fighting again the guy has had enough.]

That's it! You're all under arrest and comin' wid us! [The man reaches forward and twists Vash's arm behind him before he can run.]

AHHHH! Uncle! Uncle!

Oh, no... [Jennifer was forced to back off as the guards grabbed the man and began hauling him off.]

Good luck! I'm sure this was all a misunderstanding!

Ahhhh! W-wait! How about a date after this is all cleared up? [You know, because asking for a date while getting arrest is the best time to do that!]

I don't think now is the time to be thinking about dates. [She sounds- rather increduclous.]

But it will get me through a cold lonely night without you!

Well, as long as you don't mind platonic dates. [Is this dude for real? she wonders to herself.] Prison won't be so bad, will it?

P-platonic?! [He actually seems more upset by that than being arrested. He shouts as the guards drag him further away. Screaming really and waking people to be sure he's heard.] The memory of your face will make prison bearable!!!!

Good luck! [Despite the gravity of the situation, Jennifer's close to rolling her eyes at this charmer. However, she smiles sadly and waves instead.]

Til next we meet my mysterious dove! [Vash would wave back, but by now his hands are tied behind his back and the guards are past tired of his shenanigans. They give him a quick smack to the back of the head cause Vash to cry out as if he stubbed a toe.]

Quiet you! Before you wake the whole town!

Just ask for Dr. Keller. We'll see each other again.

[And with that, Jennifer sighs and starts on her way again, knowing she couldn't likely interfere further.]

Doctor K--OW! [Vash finally learns his lesson and quiets down I. Order to scowl at the poor man trying to do his job of keeping the peace and quiet.]
