[There's an old fart standing on the roof of house #12. How he got up there, or rather, when he got up there is a complete mystery he respawned there. In his hands he flips through the pages of the journal, looking for anything remotely interesting that he may have missed. After a while he speaks up.]

It's kinda windy today, don't ya think?

Why would ya wanna know somethin' like that? Ya haven't been goin' around as a vigilante have you?

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Who me? No... but... [Hesitates a moment, because he knows he hates talking about his death, but he'd still like to know who to punch in the face.] it'd be nice to know if there's someone new I need to avoid - you know?

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[crisisrain]

Oh I could give ya a list of people ta avoid!

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

I suppose that could work too. [Alright, fine, he won't press you for the information, but he may hover a bit more now.]

I take it when Flynn announced it he really didn't tell anyone what happened.

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

No, he said he wanted to keep it private.

[But... you're at the circus! The hell!]

Argh, that makes it sound suspicious. There's no one ta blame fer my death, I died of... natural causes.

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

[That's right - be jealous. I had cotton candy and everything... only not really because I could only afford the ticket to get in.]

Ah, I see... [Natural causes? That could mean many things really, he's not sure to feel relieved that you weren't attacked or worried you're sick. But you just got back, now is not the time for sad, uncomfortable talk!] ...nothing that will affect your drinking right?

[Cotton candy rots your teeth! He wasn't actually about to explain what happened to Vash, yeah he trusts the guy, but the only reason his castmatey friends even knew in the canon was because he planned to die.]

Better not! There's nothin' else ta do in this place!

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Good, because it's no fun to drink alone.

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[crisisrain]

Then I'm expecting a good drink along with my present!

[Voice | 100% Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

I think I can manage that.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[He removes the filter, not really needed anymore.]

I hope yer on the way to the flower shop already!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Almost there. [Real question is does Vash even know what he's looking for? The answer? No.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[Could always ask Raven to explain it if he's unsure :3 Either way, he's watching you from the rooftop. The little bright red blob walking through the town center.]

Hey, hey Vash? Wave towards the east!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Okay... [Turning east and waving. Looking around for you - obviously you're saying this for a reason.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[He stands up and starts frantically waving back. Simple things for simple minds.]

Do ya see me?! I can see you!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Ah! I see you!



...don't fall off the roof.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[He sits back down, lazy man.]

I won't don't worry! I don't think I could shoot an arrow as far as the town square though.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

...

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Are you saying you want to shoot me?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Why would I do that! We're buddies right?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well you're the one talking about arrows reaching all the way over here!

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

If an arrow could reach from all the way over 'ere it'd be pretty good back-up support in a battle huh?
