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?]

[Jennifer had been making her way back to the Wonderduck to sleep one evening when she heard a commotion coming from one of the taverns. She wavered, half wanting to say "not my problem" to herself and keep going, not wanting to get in trouble... but her conscience got the better of her, and she followed the crowd gathering as an apparent fight was broken up.

She tapped the collar at her throat to see if it was one of her fellow Fleet members in the fray. He was wearing the same clothing, but he had a device on just as she did, so she decided to assume he was.

She drifted up to the man, frowning and reaching out.]

Hey, are you okay?

[In Axel's experience, the interesting people come out at night, and he's sure this place is no exception. After passing by a handful of drunks wobbling their way down the road, he happens to spy a small crowd that has gathered up ahead, and decides to investigate. When he gets there, he just stares for a moment. It appears this crowd is chucking overripe fruit at some men locked up in the stocks. He peers at the men with the fruit, then looks up at the men in the stocks, and just shakes his head. Well, if this isn't kind of a sad scene indeed...

[One of the villagers turns to him and offers him a tomato, which he accepts sort of robotically. Hey, if he refuses, they might decide to throw stuff at him, right? He turns his eyes back to the three men in the stocks, and notices that one of them seems to be wearing the same modulator he's wearing. Oh, this one's a visitor? Is he from the Fleet?

[Maybe he can bank himself a favor. It's worth a try, right? He holds up one hand to stall the throwing of fruit for a moment and approaches the man with the haystack of yellow hair.]

So what'cha in for?

[Oh hey, it's Vash and he's...trapped in that wooden thing. Sokka wanders over.]

...Do I even want to know how you ended up here?

[ever since the alarming incident in the magical forest, and the whole mess with Robin getting attacked, Nel has kept to himself around Vash. he makes sure to smile and laugh whenever they're around each other on the Three Twins, but he tries to keep his conversations light and short. and he's been making a habit of quietly leaving the ship whenever he can anyway, so that has helped.

he's actually got a lot going on in his head, so he's not quite as bubbly as he usually is while out drinking. it's much harder to lose yourself in partying here, than it had been on the vice moon.

the little elf is doing what he can to stay ahead of his own thoughts, distracted as he puts away drinks at yet another tavern, so his guard is a little low. he jumps in surprise when he's wandering through the crowd and almost bumps into his crewmate.]

--Oh! Hey... I didn't know you were here.

[Vash may be hoping to hide his unnatural skills from prying eyes, but there is one kid who is unfortunately good at exactly that. don't ask why he's out in the woods--it's probably some shady quest from the job board--but he's detouring toward the sound of bowstrings when he hears it.

luckily, he's sneaking into the clearing from behind Vash instead of the front, so he's in no danger of getting shot.

...he does have an excellent view of Vash's excellent marksmanship, however.]
