[Knives had been quiet and elusive since things went weird with the enclosure. The best way to not get arrested: not getting found. And when things had returned to more or less normal, he hadn't seen fit to STOP being elusive, just in case. Give it a couple weeks, had been the intention. Make sure the strangeness is over, then make sure the person who mattered was still okay.

Such was the intention. Up until robots came hunting in the night. A short explosion of violence and blinding rage later, impeded by his sheer lack of power since his hair had turned black, and Knives Millions went missing.

And returned a day later, a hundred and fifty years younger.

He's left where he arrived the first time, on the shoreline of the sea that had taken over the desert. Thin white pants, journal - not the clothes he'd left in, but at least he's left the book. Not that it does him much good; waking up where he doesn't even remotely expect it, without the two people he's never been without right there or within sensing range is ... uniquely alarming. Knives Millions spent most of his adult life alone. His childhood however was another matter. And being alone in a strange place with no idea of where he is or how he got there (or why he has tiny wings) isn't something the one-year-old plant is prepared for.

For a little while he roams up and down the beach, anxious, but certain that sooner or later Rem or Vash will find him and tell him it's all a joke and someone just changed the environmental settings or something. But as time ticks past and nothing of the sort happens, anxiousness begins bleeding into outright fear. He knows he should stay put.

He doesn't. Instead he picks up the book with part of his name on it and clutching it to his narrow chest, heads further down the beach, following the water line, hoping for something like people. Something safer then out alone. Alone was scary. He could if he tried focus his thoughts and project them to try to find his brother, but far too uncertain, unhappy and afraid, he simply projects emotions in a steady wave of nauseating apprehension.

In Luceti, seeing a boy of perhaps ten years old roaming alone might not be all that unusual. Nor the visible apprehension. But he might look a little familiar..

Lost. Afraid. Alone. Lost.]



[Summary: there is a very young, very frightened plant roaming loose on the beach.]

[There's something off when he's finally able to pick up on his twin once more. He had been worried when he had been awoken in the middle of the night when his brother suddenly disappeared. Worried more about what Knives would do after he returned. He expected his brother to be rather angry and there was just no telling what state the Malnosso would return him as.

At first when Knives was returned there was something different. Something, odd. When things started to become clearer in his head, more focused he was a little surprised (yet thankful) of the missing emotion of anger. Lost? Alone? Those weren't really what he had expected. Afraid was a bit expected, but so clearly stated was a little alarming.

Once he was sure that it was indeed Knives he was feeling and not a trick of his own mind he opens up his journal and tries to reach his brother that way.]


Knives? Are you alright?

[Did Knives... did Knives just shriek? A thin, surprised one but he's pretty sure Knives just shrieked.

Man, he hasn't heard Knives sound like that since they were-]

[Oh shit.

When the journal comes back on and the younger voice of Knives's comes back with a 'hello' Vash has already worked it out for himself what has happened. If Knives looks closely at the picture he'll see a man who hasn't yet shaved today. His long blond hair a mess around his head, but yet a familiar mold under his eye.]


K-Knives. Ah, are you near a beach? And ah-haha. This is going to sound really strange, but ah, you see. It's actually me. Um. Me Vash.

[Everything AND the kitchen sink too!]

[He's really not surprised that Knives doesn't believe him. He's not sure he would have believe it if the roles were reversed. He runs a hand through his hair feeling a bit frustrated. How can he help Knives believe him?

Ask him to ask a question that only he would know? That wouldn't work either. As there differences between the two. He's pretty sure the line: I'm your brother from an alternate universe would be even harder to swallow. That Rem woman was mentioned again so he knows that's not a good idea.]


I really am Vash! I'm just, well, from the future you see. I know that sounds rather crazy but this place, it's not the SEEDs ship. It's a place called Luceti. It takes people from all different worlds and times. I know that's really hard to believe but it's true.

Oh, I know. Have we ah, talked to each other before, yet? Without talking?

[Oh fine.]

I didn't tell anyone. [He knows exactly what you're thinking. At least at that age he did.]

I know, because- [It takes him a minute, never really liking using this form to talk.]

-It's me. I'm Vash.

[But the refridgerator has nummies!]

goldenglasses: (What-a-what?)
From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
[Vash knew at that age they hadn't really talked at all to each other. At least, in his childhood they hadn't. He switches back to the book once his point was made.] I know, I know you do. I know. And you will. You won't be here very long. Probably only a week or two at the most.

I think I know where you are. I'm going to come find you. [After he shaves real quick. Hoping he'll look a little more like his younger self if he does.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (What do you mean I don't look innocent?)
From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
Oh, don't worry about that. Trust me, they've already sent out search robots looking for you. Special time moving type robots. [Er, yeah, let's just roll with that.] Not ones from the ship, no, these are for people who sometimes show up here by accident. Time is kind of strange here, you see? While it may seem like a week or two has passed here, back home on the ship it's like no time has passed at all!

So if you see any metal men walking up to you, don't be afraid. They're the ones who make sure people get back home to the times they're suppose to be in. Ah, it's crazy sounding I know. It's a little hard to believe this place can really be real when you first get here. Ah-hahaha.

Just don't worry. They won't know you left back on the ship and you won't lose anytime. When you go back you'll wake up the very instant that you left!

[But then my butt will get cold!]

From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
I know it's really hard to believe, it took me awhile to believe it to, but it's true. It's still hard for me to really understand too. I haven't ever met a mean robot, they've all been really nice to me!

[Vash says this as he goes through the quickest shave he's ever done. He's turned to head out the door when he hears Knives's other question.]

The protective bulb- no. Of course not, why would you think that? The crew on the ship won't hold something you couldn't help against you.

[Cold butt it is]

Date: 2013-08-18 08:38 am (UTC)
goldenglasses: (You really think so?)
From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
Ah, well, adults tend to stay here longer than kids. I've been here for several months. [Several months that add up to several years.]

OH! The wings! [Of course. It's been so long he almost forgets about them.] No, everyone gets a set of wings when they show up here. Be careful with them, they'll hurt badly if you damage them at all.

There are humans here too. Even they have wings, but don't worry you won't be put into a bulb. When you go home they'll be gone. So don't worry, you're not going into a bulb.

[*sips cold milk* Worth it]

From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
We're actually not the strangest beings here too. I've met all kinds of people and creatures here. Like, I've met vampires, pirates - one was a talking skeleton and even dragons! Just all sorts of people here. It's almost like a story book sometimes!

[Rem. That name again. One he just doesn't have stored away.]

And yeah, I'm just waiting for the robots to help me get home. Hopefully I'll get my chance to go home soon, but I'll be sure to wait until you do now that you're here.

Some people may say a Plant giving birth to twins could only be in story books. If it's one thing Luceti will show you it's that just about anything is possible.

From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
That's because I'm your brother. Even as we grow up we're still the only two I've heard of being born from the Plants.

[Vash is starting to move past the village, heading towards the teleporter.]

Date: 2013-08-18 10:38 am (UTC)
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Damn I look good!)
From: [personal profile] goldenglasses
Maybe one day they'll be more born, but for now, I'm afraid it's just us. [For a moment he almost wants to say that he doesn't know about back on Earth. If he did he'd have to explain to Knives why they lost contact with Earth.]

Still, once you meet some of the people here it will make what I'm saying easier to believe.
