the veil is thin . . .

[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.

It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.

A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.

An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.

Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.

The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]

goldenglasses: (Would you knock it off?!)

[Normally Vash is a very patient person, but even he has his limits. Or maybe his face has enough swelling from a fight earlier that he broke up that he doesn't feel the need to go the more gentle route.

It could also be the fact that there is another fleet member involved now.

Either way his face is stern as it seems almost instantly that he's in the middle.]


Would you- [His right arm extends out to press against the chest and stop one of the men rushing forward.] -knock it- [Remarkably his left arm grabs a man's wrist mid-swing dead in its track without giving an inch to the sudden stop in momentum. Almost as if he had just reached out with a robotic arm.] OFF! [With the man trapped in his left hand Vash drags him to collide into a third to throw him off his balance before he let's go.]

NOW! Can we all please discuss this calmly like grown adults, huh? [Vash stands and places his hands on his hips in a way that forces his jacket back more to show his revolver holster at his hip.

He was relaxed and seemingly unconcerned over if they decided NOT to take his suggestion of calmly walking away.]


As I'd really rather not bother a doctor about you lot when they have MUCH more important things to do right now.
