A. Kitchen

[First thing Vash wants to do once they're back onto the ship is to go through the notes he's set aside from the last calibrations. If someone tries to read over his shoulder they may be surprised to see Vash looking over what appears to be gibberish. Possibly because it's coded.

He's also writing down gibberish notes that he's currently translating from what he has written down on his arms. It's not much, but he's trying to remember as much as he can. Coding it may be going too far, but Vash can be paranoid when he wants to be. He promises to collect the papers spread all over the kitchen table once he's done.]

B. Around the ship

[Once what he was able to write down about the glitch he saw and he's had time to look everything over he decides to blow off some steam. Someone got a toy dart gun in his gift basket!

Watch out for darts suddenly sticking to whatever object you might be holding. Or maybe even your forehead.] Reach for the sky!

[Except Makie. Makie will be treated like a lady and only get just a cheesy smile and the silly one liner.]

What are you doing?

[Listen, if you thought you were gonna get Chuuya with one of those darts, you got another thing coming! Like... Chuuya stopping the dart with a hand before it can hit him, and sending it right back at ya, Vash!]

You should know better than to play these games with me!

[Vash could easily dodge the dart as it flies back at him, but that isn't any fun! Instead the dart pelts him dead center on his forehead where it sticks.]

Aw, come on! After being away from the ship for so long we should relax and have a bit of fun, don't you think?

Besides! I was just gifted this thing! It would be rude to not try it out!

Don't misunderstand; I'm all for relaxing and having fun.

[Chuuya laughs at the sight of Vash with the dart stuck to his forehead.]

I like to relax and have fun with great food, drinks, and conversation!

That can be fun at times, but you gotta change up the way you have fun! Otherwise it gets boring. As long as the jokes are harmless of course.

[Narrows his eyes at Vash.]

Harmless for who? For you or for me?!

[He's pretty sure he knows how this works by now!]

Mostly for me, but I would also never do a prank that would have lasting effects on someone.

It's no fun if a prank seriously hurts someone physically or mentally.

Eh, well, shockingly, we can agree on something - that pranks like that are no fun.

[Not that he's much of a prankster himself.]

Anyway, I don't like causing a commotion when it's unnecessary, that's all.

Hey! Commotion is the spice of life! Without commotion things are just... well dull!

[He's not even a little surprised that Vash would say that.]

You really are like that guy... That kind of person that I always have to put up with!

Put up and have fun with!

_{[Yuri was trying to get the weird white furry things off himself, flailing and swinging them off but they were sticky and they seemed to love crawling on his body. What did they want, food? Warmth? To freak him out??? He had found these white bunny looking things the size and shape of soap bars in the couch and they latched on.

He wasn't minding where he was going as he tried to pull a particularly stubborn one off his shoulder. Then it was gone, a dart stabbed the thing and it flopped off him. He gasped. Who-- where had it-- oh god were there more darts? He looked up.]}

Vash?? You saved me. Oh geez... that was so awful.

[Vash smiles as he stuffs the toy gun into his pocket.] Well, it looked like you needed a hand. [He bends over to pick up the poor critter and allows it to crawl up his arm.] I see you've made a friend.

O-oh yeah... he's kinda cute, isn't he?

_{[He sighs as the creature crawls up Vash's sleeve. The blond doesn't seem to be upset by him... he's just smiling. It's in that moment, strangely, that Yuri thinks about what he saw. The bakery and the vision of Vash and another boy, and that woman... and the ship that went down... his brother who set her up.]}

Are you alright, Vash? After... that room? That... bakery?

_{[He looks wide-eyed at his friend, he doesn't want sympathy for what he saw and in fact he isn't bothered with it right now. It's different enough from his life it doesn't quite traumatize him to see aliens and space ships going down. It was the real human emotion that got to him. Vash's mother figure gone just like that. He looked at him with empathetic eyes.]}

Because I don't know if I would be okay if I had to relive that... If you want to talk about it, I think I'm in a perfect place to listen. _{[Since he saw it all and he doesn't know who else did.]}

[Vash winces only the smallest amount in his petting of the fluffy cucumber when the room is mentioned. He's always been a bit of a "pretend that never happened" sort of guy, but of course people would have questions and concerns after all of that.]

Yeah, I'm actually okay. It was a long time ago. I'm not saying that it doesn't hurt to think about, but I've had time to come to terms with that happened that day.

But, ah, I'm sorry you had to see it.

_{[Yuri wonders if he was mistaken for bringing it up. Maybe it was too much for Vash. But he isn't a pretender. He is more of a 'wallow in horror and social anxiety forever' type of person when it comes to bad things happening.]}

It's good you could move on but... that's heavy, Vash. I'm here if you need anyone. We're all we have out in space.

Don't worry about me. I'm... glad I could share it with you if that's what you need. _{[Glad he could be useful if anything.]}

Thanks. It's good to know that I have someone to talk to even all the way out here. [But he won't. Not about this. He'll keep it all to himself and smile on.]

And well, I'm not sure it's exactly what I needed, but I'm glad a memory like that didn't worry you too much. Ah, I'm a little fuzzy actually on what everyone saw. Was there anything else that you were worried about?

[He asks as he knows some people saw memories that showed much more clearly that he wasn't human and what he is actually capable of. For those people he's sure they have questions.]

But if that was all it was then don't worry. It may not be a very good memory of mine, but I won't let it stop me from making the most of this life I was given.

[Kitty Pryde, apparently not a lady. It seems he was aiming for her new mug she is holding complete with a depiction of the ferris wheel from Navy Pier in Chicago, buuuuut it was less solid than expected and got the wall behind her instead.]

You've seen me break something of yours before, you realize. [Referring directly to a memory he saw but never shared since timey wimey, multidimensional RP nonsense.]

[Only because she's a lady Vash thinks can take a joke where he's worried Makie will only be insulted and confused.

The plastic suction cup on the dart sticks to the wall as the culprit slinks out from behind the opposite wall with a snicker. He spins the toy gun around on his index finger.] What if I offer to lend it to you on occasion? Never know when you might need a dart gun!

I've never needed one yet. [She reaches back to grab the dart and offers it to him. It could be a trick just to lure him closer. It's not, but it totally could have been!] Gift from our overlords?

[Even if it was Vash is always willing to take a spot of revenge for the tricks he uses. He comes up and takes the offered dart back.] Yeah, I suppose it could be called a gift.

Did you get anything?

A few things. [She taps the mug she's holding.] This for one. It has a picture of the ferris wheel from Navy Pier on it. That was a place near where I grew up. It does seem like it should say, "I got abducted to space camp and all I got was this lousy mug." But who am I to tell them how to do their job? [She's not mentioning the chocolate. That's totally hers.]

This place would probably be a lot more empty if we were able to tell them how to do their job. At least your gift is vaguely useful.

[Holds hot things. Cold things! Liquid thing! Even pens!]

But what's a ferris wheel for? Is it like a water wheel? [She said it was on a pier which are near water.]

So many uses. I could write a book on the many uses.

[She shakes her head.] Do you remember the carnival at the hand-holding planet? It's a ride like those kinds of places would have. This particular one was near water, but it's not what made it turn and it didn't power anything.

[~~His mun didn't. Opps!~~]

Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that! Then I bet it's a pretty good ride if it's on a mug. [Because clearly only high quality things get printed on mugs.]
