Who: Vash and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Space Bar
When: Right now!

Video

[It's taken Vash a lot of talking to get himself to make this post. He was embarrassed and shy which was making it very difficult. Still, it was something he had been thinking about for months now so he really needs to do it. No point to keep putting it off.]

So, ah, I know there are some doctors on board. People skilled with magic too. Is anyone good with getting rid of old scars. Like really bag, old scars? The kind make up won't cover up?

Action

[Vash will also be working his bartender job at The Space Bar later on. Standing behind the bar with a big smile on his face.] What can I get you? [Come tell the bartender all your problems!]

Yeah. [Vash readily agrees.] Never fully understood the saying that it was better to have loved and have lost before it happened to me.

But,I think I would be okay with the pain if it means she's found him and is happy again.

[He leans back, not sure why he's suddenly so candid with this man. All they've done is tentatively agreed to be patient and cosmetologist, who just happened to both be long lived and scarred to all hell and then some and not human. But he is, and it's strange and refreshing.]

Neither did I. But, as the oldest child in that day and age, it was expected of me that I take over the family business and produce heirs to continue the work. Ah, but that was centuries ago. [He shakes his head, reliving the memories in his mind, however briefly.] What is her name, your love?

[Four years ago Vash never would have been so open. Since coming to the fleet and finding someone as amazing as Kitty who loves him even with all his flaws he's learned to open up more. He promised her he would try to not hide who he was so much anymore.]

Sounds like a lot of pressure. I hope it was a good life regardless. [He smiles warmly.] Kitty Pryde. Her name is Kitty. She's captain on our ship.

[He shakes his head and sweeps a hand back through his bangs to look out at the world again, unable to see clearly, only clearly enough.] It didn't last long. Don't you worry your head over that.

[The name gets a look from him, nothing too surprised.] Oh? Her? I've met her. She seems like a dear, if a little troubled, but aren't we all?

Yeah. We really are. Probably why they thought we'd all make for good television, huh?

Oh, it probably is. But you didn't know each other before you came here. Ah, I'm still glad that you found someone. It's hard enough to survive this sort of transition with a familiar face. I couldn't imagine doing it alone.

It's not so bad being on your own. I guess so long as you know your friends back home are safe without you. I've been told by several different people that time somehow stands still back home and I think I might believe that now. [Took him a few years.]

[He hasn't been here long enough, but he's inclined to believe just about anything about back home. He knows, without a doubt, all that he cares about, in this world and not, is safe.]

That was what they said in the last world I was in. There's only one reason I would go back to that world now, but I've seen him already in another world outside of it. I do wish he was here, but that's up to him. It's enough that I know he's alive and well.

It can be hard to leave friends behind, but it certainly helps knowing that they're okay. Huh? [Yay for being immortal.]

Yes, indeed. I imagine I would've worried myself sick if I thought anything could go wrong back home without my being able to do anything about it. I suppose you'll agree with me there on that. What a mess that would have been.

Yes, I think I would. [He stretches his arms out with a big smile.] I think I'll head back to my ship now, unless you have something else you wish to discuss?

[Well, looks like their time is at an end. Just as well, he supposes. He hums quietly and stands, straightens out his clothing.]

No, I suppose we've said everything that needed to be said and then some. I'll look forward to working with you again if any opportunities arise in the future, yes?

Thanks. If I see anything I think could help us I'll let you know.

Please do. The easier this is for me, the easier it'll be for you. Until then.

[He gives the man a nod and a tip of an imaginary hat and in the next moment, is gone. Reaper's teleportation works wonders, even in this world.]
