Who: Vash and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the planet
When: Late night on July 21st

[It was the same thing every year around the anniversary. Bad memories leading to night terrors and while he rarely remembers them thanks to the combination of Katie's dream catcher and allowing Baku to eat his dreams; they still make it hard to fall asleep. The city of lost July. Gone in an instant and all because of him.

Maybe that's why he was so quick to offer to help a distraught mother find her daughter who had run off into the mist instead of going to a bar like he had planned. Wanting to help someone rather then thinking of all the death this day meant to him.

Of course, it wasn't suppose to go like this.

A very young alien girl with orange skin is suddenly appearing on Vash's communication device. She's wearing a mask that is clearly too big for her. In fact some may recognize it as the mask that Vash has been wearing when going into the mist. Only, where is the gunslinger? Oh, that's probably him screaming in the background.]

Please, can anyone hear me? [She sounds close to tears.] I need hel--

I TOLD YOU TO GET AWAY FROM ME! [Vash's voice breaks through her plea. It's a mix of angry and terrified as the girl screams in shock. She drops the communication device and as it falls you can catch a quick glance at Vash's arm at the start of it's transformation. Along with a bright light right before the feed cuts out.]

(OOC: Vash will be responding to voice! Or your character can come find him out in the mist! Just look for the bright light! WARNING! If tagging in with action please be aware along with his current glitch there will be hallucinations that have to do with/will talk about death! If you do not want the hallucinations please mention so in your tag!)

Y-yeah. This has been fun, but I think I'm done with the mist. How about you? [The engine hums to life as Vash gets ready to take off. Once the ship is airborne he'll point it to the sky and try to get them out of there as quickly as possible.]

Wasn't fun. Very done. [She sinks down, taking deep breaths of cleansed air.] I can't see anything...extra anymore. You? [At least she doesn't think she can. And she's right, but after something like that it's hard to be 100% sure.]

Not that I can see either. [He'll get them up into the atmosphere and sets the ship on autopilot back to the Twin Roses. He does trust Kitty to fly them there if she wants, but he's gone ahead and assumed she would like a break as much as he does.

Once the ship is on it's own course he moves out of the pilot seat just in case she wants to sit there. Or you know, needs to for some reason. His steps are a bit wobbly as he moves towards the closest open seat near her. Plopping down heavily into the seat he slides the mask off his face as he leans his head back against the seat.]

Thank you. For giving me your mask. [He may be starting to drift off now that the crisis is averted.]

[She is extremely here for the rest. She hasn't been through the same physical turmoil he has, but things were touch and go there for awhile and she's glad they're going to be back soon.]

Yeah, well, it was the least I could do for the guy who saved the little girl with his mask. [She reaches over to put her hand over his.]

[Instinctively his hand flinches away as he sits up a little straighter and eyes looking a little clearer again. It's an unintentional reaction as she caught him between drifting off and still being slightly awake. It only takes a second for him to see where he is, that it's safe, and it was someone touching his hand that he felt. Someone he likes touching him. It wasn't something else. The adrenaline rush disappears almost as quickly as it came as an embarrassed, tired smile creeps onto his face.] Sorry. [He murmurs as he relaxes himself enough to hold her hand.]

[She didn't expect that reaction, but she doesn't judge it. She takes his hand again when he seems ready.] Don't be. I used to have...a lot of reactions. [Lashing out at something that wasn't an attack or phasing through the same.] I still do occasionally.

Mmhmm. [He is interested, he really is! He wants to be fully engaged in this conversation. Which is why his eyes are shutting. He listens better with his eyes shut.]

[She sees him fading and there's a little burst of worry but his breathing seems steady and so she assumes it's just exhaustion. She'll get him back safely. Too bad Khadgar isn't around. Kurt's teleporting is more of a strain on the body. She might just get help carrying him the old fashioned way if she can't get him to wake.]

[It will take some shaking and prodding, but she will luckily get him conscious again and shouldn't need to teleport him around.]

[She'll probably phase off his boots and jacket and leave him in the body suit when she helps him into bed.]

[Vash will happily fall into bed and sleep the rest of the day away. Getting up at some point to change into pajamas to prove he's not dead, but besides that this captain will be out for the next couple days in order to recharge his battery.]
