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!]

That's a good way of looking at things. Glass half full and all. It would be amazing if we could somehow use the collective knowledge that bringing all these people from all these worlds together to help each other.

I'd love to be able to help your sisters and properly terraform your planet. Just as I'd like to help Kolivan end his war.

It would be nice. I thank you for the thought. [And he is honestly touched.] But don't you worry about me. My planet will be alright in the end.

I hope so? And I didn't mean to say that it wasn't. It just feels if we aren't able to help each other in some way than it feels likes wasted time.

I dunno. Just getting to meet all the people here? Experience all the new things I never would have gotten the chance to do back home? I don't think that would be wasted time.

[Tim doesn't want to belittle Vash's outlook but if they do get their minds scrubbed even the memories of their meeting will be washed away and I suppose that works for his thinking as well. He just ends up sighing]

I suppose, sorry I'm a little cynical. I haven't been here that long so I'm still angry about being kidnapped?

Yeah. I can understand that feeling and I'm afraid I don't have great news. Four years later and you'll still feel angry about that now and then.

It's better than getting complacent and succumbing to some sort of Stockholm syndrome. Best to stay angry and use it constructively.

I suppose so, but I usually find anger tends to blind my constructive thinking. So how about if I just aim for mildly annoyed?

[Tim mutters out] Well you've got mildly annoying down pat.

There's also a difference between anger and rage though. One can be motivating while the other just blinds you.

But being angry all the time sounds exhausting! And I heard it can give you wrinkles. No thanks.

Aren't you hundreds of years old? Why are you worried about wrinkles of all things.

Because this beautiful face isn't easy to maintain for that long you know! Living long is an even BETTER reason to care about wrinkles!

I would think it would be less of a reason to care if you live longer than who cares what people think about your looks? Although really who cares either way I suppose. A wrinkle is just a sign that you've spent your life smiling? I'm pretty sure that's an assinine saying from a meme or something

I like that saying. But ah... what's a me-me?

A meme is an element of a culture or system of behaviour that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation. Usually, it's done through a
humorous image or video which has a similar element but with slight variations.

It's actually really hard to explain the cultural phenomenon if you haven't grown up with it? Usually, they tend to get more abstract and harder to follow. They're like cultural and generational inside jokes?

So... it's like an inside joke that a certain group of generations understand?

Aah.. kinda. Like I said it's hard to explain but yes like an inside joke shared among a large group of people. Usually shared a lot and at random.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Random can be pretty fun!

True, but also can be confusing.

[Tim shrugs] How did we get onto this topic?

[Vash waves his hand.] Doesn't matter! We're here now! So, did you want a drink of some sort?

[A slow grin appears on Tim's face]

A mug of hot water?

[Vash laughs and moves to head towards the kitchen.] I won't even charge you for this one. Sure you just want hot water and not a mug of coffee?
