driftfleet | (no subject)

Who: Vash and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Twin Roses/The Space Bar/Iskaulit
When: Afternoon on Dec 27th

[Vash has been hard at work since he saw Crowley had left the fleet. They weren't the closest of friends, acquaintance might have been a better word, but it had still hurt to realize he was the last of the original group brought on at the start of "cycle twelve".

Instead of being sad, Vash wanted to be productive so he started coding and figuring out how to post a new game to the network. One he thinks Crowely may have been proud of. It's sound effects are loud and it has a lot of flashing lights. He at least gives it his best shot.]

Hey everyone! There's a new game on the network! It's called Demon's Poggle. [It's Peggle, but with a Drift Fleet twist. The playable characters are the different symbols of the ships in the fleet and instead of a little ball bouncing around it's a tiny Iskaulit.] I hope some people get some fun out of it. See if you can beat the high score!

[He turns the feed off after his announcement, but the darn thing goes ahead and turns itself right back on again which is why it will pick up the last part that he mutters out loud to himself.] Four years... didn't think I'd be the last. Hope you made it home to that car and angel of yours, Crowley.

[Vash can also be found working his bartender duties at The Space Bar or even just sitting around people watching on the Iskaulit. Otherwise he's almost always on the Twin Roses especially in the kitchen using his new donut maker should anyone wish to see him in person.]

[Vash leans back just enough to stay out of reach.] Wasn't your whole point of coming here to ask me to remove a game so you can sleep? That seems like you haven't had enough yet.

Yeah! but I was too tired to function then. Coffee helps with thinking. Thinking Robin says give me coffee.

[He crawls up onto the bar to lean closer.]

Uh-huh. You know what also would help Robin? A nap.

I'm not a child. I don't need a nap.

[He hops down on the other side of the bar and grabs the left over donuts]

I'll trade you. Coffee for donuts.

Hey! I'm an adult and I lovenaps! Who doesn't-- HEY! Give those back!

Look, you put the donuts on the bar and I'll put the coffee and we'll switch. Okay?

[Vash gets a squinty look, does he trust this hostage exchange. Not really but he's going to do it anyway. He'll place the box down on the bar, hand over the top and wait for Vash]

Are you sure you're an adult then? Maybe it's you that needs a nap. You seem pretty cranky.

[Vash also puts his 'hostage' on the bar and slowly moves his hand. He's the fastest man on his planet. He's pretty sure he can out "quick draw" Robin if he must. Although he has come across one problem.]

Huh. I can't really slide this. It will spill everywhere. Um, we now switch sides instead?

[Tim sees the problem and hops over the other side of the bar again, keeping his hand on the box of donuts.]

Okay, on Three. One. Two. Three- [He slides the box in the opposite direction of Vash down the bar before making a rush for his coffee]

GO! GO! GO! [Vash moves away from the coffee and makes a go for his donuts. He didn't plan on trickery. This time.] Steal or pretend to steal my donuts a third time and I may have to ban you from coming back in here. [Much like the fifty credits, it's an empty threat.]

[Tim slams down the remaining only slightly warm coffee. Can't steal what isn't there to steal]

Third time? That was the first time and you stole my coffee! It was justified. I had to get leverage.

I'm talking about that time you told me my donuts were stolen even though they weren't! Trying to steal a man's donus! It's cruel and unusual punishment! That's what it is!

Tricking you is totally different from actual stealing though! You started this whole theft thing!

[He plunks the coffee cup down again.]

May I have some hot water?

Well, I'm not the one wearing a mask now am I?

And you can as soon as you pay off your debt.

This mask is important. It keeps criminals from knowing who we are and therefore retaliating against those we know.

and how much is hot water?

A hundred and fifty credits.

[Tim pulls out his communicator] Maybe I should check that price with Kitty?

Kitty doesn't work here. She'd also tell you to take a nap.

[Tim actually sticks his tongue out like a child]

So she'd be fine with you lying about the price of hot water?

I'm not lying. [He gets out a pen and writes on a napkin.

Price of hot water: 200 Credits He sets it near the board with the specials on it.] It just went up. Inflation is nasty!

[Tim bangs his head back down against the bar.]

Fine. Be a meanie.

[He brings his arms up to cradle his head and proceeds to just fall asleep there.]

Did you just call me a meanie?

Did you just fall asleep at my bar? [Vash will let Tim sleep there. When he wakes up he'll find a hand draw sign that says: Shh, don't wake the sleepy head.]
