[Today is the day Vash hates the most out of the year. The anniversary of the “Big Fall”. The day the ships crashed into the planet Gunsmoke. The day Rem died. He heads out early and quietly, his usual smile gone, he can’t even muster enough energy to put up the mask of a smile he usually wears.

Most of the day he’ll be sitting quietly around the

[Some would say that Bon Clay, recent arrival as he was and confused as all goes after seeing people being transported all around town not too long ago, would not be the first choice to try and comfort a random person crying on the street. And while it was true that he was more than a bit frazzled himself, well... when a fully grown man breaks down crying as you walk on by, you really have to be a douche to not at least TRY to cheer him up.]

Ah, excuse me but... is something the matter?

[goldenglasses]

[He doesn't even look up to see who's speaking to him.] I miss someone who was very, very close to me.

[thestrongestway]

... Yeah, that would be a matter, wouldn't it?

[Unbidden as he is, Bon Clay simply sits down next to his fellow brother in lankyness, not too close but not too far away either.]

Was that song one they liked?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash doesn't mind at all. Not one to be shy about these kinds of things.] Yeah... it was her favorite, but I still can't play it right.

[skulljokelol]

[Oh he recognizes that song. Brook follows the music, and sure enough, there is one Vash to be found.]

Having some difficulties with the melody, Vash-san?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah... a little. It just... [He shakes his head. It's just not the same as hearing her sing it.]

[skulljokelol]

Sometimes, you simply have to be in the proper mood for it. No sense in forcing it otherwise.

[goldenglasses]

No, I suppose not. [He sighs, he should have known better than to even try.]

[he finds him in town. Of course he finds him there, with all the people. Right in the middle of it all.

Ever since Legato had caught up with where along the calendar this little world was currently sitting, he had wondered how Vash would react on this day. Legato had been counting down to it ...just as he did every year.

Leaning against a building nearby, once with a nice view of the square, Legato simply watches for a while. He watches the other man's head bow into his hands, shoulders beginning to shake a few moments later]

[mentally, slipping in with a mildly surprised tone] ...You do remember.

[goldenglasses]

[His shoulders stop almost instantly as he hears that familiar voice slip into his head. A chill runs through him as he slowly sits up and slides his glasses onto his head.]

How could I forget?

[endthem]

You work so hard at forgetting the things that bother you. I was wondering if maybe, being here, you had finally succeeded.

[goldenglasses]

I don't forget them. [He doesn't like to think about them and pretend they're not there. There's a difference!]

I'm so on time that it just looks like I'm late.

[sniperkingftw]

[ Vash, man, we have to stop meeting like this. Usopp hates seeing other people emo ;;

So you know he'll totally be sitting down next to you. ]

You're never late on my entries!

[goldenglasses]

[There's a minute head tilt, just so he can be sure no one threatening had just sat down next to him, but once he knows it's just a friend he still can't muster enough energy to move any further than that.]

You're too good to me.

[sniperkingftw]

[ Yeah, definitely emo. He'll give you a few seconds, then. ]

So what happened?

I am... thanks for reminding me! *SMACKS YOU*

[goldenglasses]

Nothing... everything's alright.

...just today, brings back a lot of bad memories.

[not_a_bluesbro]

[He's quite aware of what day it is, and while he doesn't know much in the way of what happened, he's pretty damn aware that it makes you all emo. Even so, he'll leave you to yourself-sometimes people have to just have a moment, and for once you're actually moping about something he'd deem mope-worthy.

So expect him to hang around the apartment and leave you to your own devices, this day.

Don't get into trouble while you're out and about. B|]

[goldenglasses]

[Trouble like... meeting up with Legato? 8Db I'll have him come home after that thread?]

[not_a_bluesbro]

[/FACEPALM. I'll see you in a little bit, you idiot.]

XD Decided to start this - I just might stop if Legato gets brought up

[goldenglasses]

[Late that night Vash will be quietly letting himself into the apartment. He's not very drunk, but he's not quite walking straight either, so let's go with somewhere inbetween.]
