[ jonas, silently thinking to himself: how are three grown adult men so bad at talking to each other vash, loudly: WHY ARE WE SO BAD ]
Listen...! I guess I never thought I would be that important to him where he'd try to pull off these weird chess moves for me? We had a general talk about teams and how we wanted to distribute! [ STUPID ] For Livio, I get making me promise—that guy is Wolfwood's family. But now that I think about it deeply, Livio would have never agreed to us two going out for him.
[ Massaging his temples as it dawns on him. What is with 4D chess. We should have not let Wolfwood make the decisions. ]
... In the end, what happened happened and we can have opinions. [ Insane idea in delirium because he has been stressed, grieving and mourning, too: ] I'm actually wondering if you want to talk to Razlo or not—maybe beat him up a bit with me chaperoning—but that's not here or there when we might be really busy next week.
[ Vash, for a pacifist, believes fist-fighting can be the answer. That is just a throwaway comment because triguns are all freaks to some degree, though the offer is genuine. As he settles, fine with their conclusion that everyone can still work together, he circles back. ]
Dude. Literally one of the first conversations I ever had with Wolfwood was him stressing out trying to figure out what to do with both of you since you couldn't all be on the same team. He wanted me and Alex to partner up with Livio initially but we'd already formed our team with Setsu and Kazuki by then. You both kinda got played on some level, it sounds like. Also, seriously, why do you and Livio both resort straight to punching? I mean maybe I would have wanted to a little earlier this week but that is neither here or there. I don't think it's going to help now.
...also Razlo is still technically in Livio's body, and I know a losing fight when I see one. [ livio...beeg.
but okay. well. that seems to settle that and so when vash loops back to the alex thing jonas frowns. ]
Anyway...yeah, more or less. If you count lies of omission as lies, which I do in this case since it affects how things are at home and what I actually knew about that situation. We've talked since then, but...I go back and forth on if I'm happy to know the truth or not.
Wolfwood likes to hide things! [ Annoying. ] Sometimes! You just need to let everything out! For some people it's yelling stuff into the void, for others it's definitely throwing some punches! Plus, No Man's Land is just like that. I'm sure I can convince Razlo to go easy, or do nothing, if Livio and I bully him.
[ However, there's a funny thought that is like younger sibling syndrome might also be the reason for roughhousing. Just some lightheartedness to this as much as it's sincere. ]
... People sure like to hide things! [ THIS IS JUST REPEATED. HELP. Sobering now. ] The truth is there whether you like it or not, but I think a part of me understands hiding the truth if it would save the person grief. They find out eventually, though.
[ the thing about it is that vash's internal thoughts here are diffusing the situation and making him laugh, honestly. not like. very obviously, but it's clear he's amused by this train of thought even if he shakes his head. ]
I guess I can't fault him for that. [ all things considered... ] Some of us aren't good at letting stuff out. Or yelling into voids. Punching, yeah, that's fair, but I'm trying to do less of that. I don't want to actually hurt Livio himself but I would like to kind of kill Razlo so we're at an impasse. Nothing to be done, and I'm going to keep myself chill for my team's sake.
[ so yeah. he gets it. but you know. people like to hide things! ]
...with this, I have no idea when she was ever planning on telling me. If at all? I only found out because of those stupid pigs that were blasting our memories everywhere. So now I know that no matter how this ends, Alex and I aren't really going back to the same place. So I'm...strategizing to fix that. Somehow. [ which...i'm still angry about what happened to setsu. i'm still frustrated with how people have handled it. but i have other things i have to try to focus on now. ]
[ yeah unfortunately can't kill razlo unless also livio dies. Vash can't condone that. Jonas being like i think i would rather not hurt Livio, Vash: just punch Razlo through him it's fine. ]
... You guys also have timeline problems, huh. [ God........ ] It's good that you're thinking about it because I for sure have put that aside until I have the capacity to think about it more deeply and not focus on this weird murder game.
[ Because despite everything, he's still anxious about what might come. Which is they explode next Wednesday and learn their friendly NPC wants to girl despair all the dimensions into nothing.
Also, it didn't help that Wolfwood didn't want to talk about it. Livio at least was open and interested. ]
[ jonas truly does not understand since he assumes it'd be just punching livio's face further but that is fine. this is just what happens. ]
It's like...more like a time loop problem, but yeah, close enough. What can I say, I'm a multitasker. I'm great at worrying about multiple things simultaneously.
[ lol. lmao. ]
...does it bother you that Wolfwood is the way that he is? [ he will simply just ask. ]
[ it is. Vash goes quiet, concern painting his features. ]
... Alex mentioned they were able to break out of the loop in that mission based on Netzach's world. It may not be the same, but I wonder if some general loop rules apply in some way.
[ I don't know. ]
Sometimes—it's complicated. Same for you and Alex, right? They're important, but they're a pain.
...yeah, maybe. I don't know. I didn't even...I thought since we were both on the ferry and leaving everything was over. We're not sure what it means if she was supposedly sealing herself in that rift while also being on the boat with us. But she's convinced about the loop keeping her with the ghosts. And...I mean I saw it myself.
[ memshare...bad. ]
It's complicated. [ so yeah, he agrees. ] They're important, but there's always stuff I wish was easier or things that could be better. Even if half the time I tell her I wouldn't change a thing about her. You end up frustrating each other and fighting but at the same time it's like...the kind of fighting that says you care about a person.
[ It's the core desire between both of them, isn't it? Why can't it be easier? Why is there so much time fuckery whether it be canonpoints or canon shenanigans? Vash feels like his hair is going white even though black is already a sign of stress itself for him. ]
I think people can stand to be less stubborn, but I wouldn't force them to change. Change is something they need to want. Still! It's hard.
[ HE'S JUST GOING TO SAY IT. Sure, he's obstinate because he's old and selfish, but he's going to CRITICIZE confidently. Anyway, they can complain about people the whole night, i guess. ]
