[aaand here's a Vash! He's in his normal red coat, but he's also looking very dusty and a little beat up. He's got a slowly darkening bruise under one eye, dust in his hair, and a few small bloodstains on his coat. He also smells more strongly of gunpowder than usual.]

I don't get it! They keep showing up like they know I'm in Karkassas, even though no one can leave to give anyone that info... unless I'm mistaken? But that can't be right...

[blinks, looking up now that he's stopped talking to himself]

... I guess it's been a while since I've come here. I keep getting distracted.

[the blood attracts Shenzi like a vulture]

Maybe they can smell you.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I don't think that's possible.

[... discreetly sniffs at his armpit anyway]

[noking.livejournal.com]

Why not? I can.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Most people on my world are normal - and look, I've even been taking baths lately! I smell fine!

[noking.livejournal.com]

Normal in your world could mean crazy as cats to me.

You smell weird is what.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

... Okay, good point.

How do I smell weird?!

[noking.livejournal.com]

Can you tell the difference between a lion and a housecat by scent?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Uh... there aren't any lions on my world. But I don't think so?

[noking.livejournal.com]

Then there's no point explaining it.

That blood yours?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I got nicked a few times.

[noking.livejournal.com]

What'd you do?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I just chased off some bandits. It looked like they were planning on attacking the town.

[noking.livejournal.com]

All by yourself?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah.

[noking.livejournal.com]

If you can take on a few at once with only little nicks, there must be something about your place they reeeeally want.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yeah, I guess you're right! I'll just have to ... discourage them somehow!

[noking.livejournal.com]

You could make postcards making it look like a ghost town.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I could try it. I can't leave town myself for some weird reason, and I'm not sure if anyone else living there can.

[noking.livejournal.com]

That's weird.

Just get the word out, then. Haunted town. Will not let people out.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that might work... thanks for the advice!

[noking.livejournal.com]

Anytime.
