in all seriousness, vash may actually find jonas sitting on the basketball court. there's a lit cigarette in his mouth and he's scrolling through his phone, but he at least looks up when he hears footsteps. ]
[ this man is truly a golden retriever and it's kind of wild to watch and also understand where this is going. ]
I could say I'm strategizing but...probably obvious that's not happening. [ haha. ] But I am trying to figure out what to do next.
[ literally this is just a break while jonas is a.) thinking about where to go and b.) having a little space from his team because he likes them all pretty well, but some alone time is nice. ]
Last I looked, he had eyes? [ but he still sounds highkey amused by this. ] Unless you're about to tell me the space frontier doesn't have balloons either.
I think I will leave the pranks up to you, Vash. [ he wants wolfwood to like him, is the thing. he also wants vash to like him though? so he's playing neutral here, thanks.
but hm. that...makes sense. ]
At least the three of you are still working on stuff together. That's a lot of people to check up on though.
You'll be the first person I go to if I want to pull something off, how about that? [ imagine if i said there was nothing and vash just leaned and fell over. no it's fine he can lean against a basketball hoop since jonas was sitting under it probably. ]
They wouldn't have. [ factually. ] People don't want to think about what might happen tonight and some people don't like being told what they should do. [ or so he's noticed. ] But I guess it'd depend on what you said in it.
Don't...bribe people. [ vash. ] Especially when you don't know if people won't just take your money and still not listen anyway. Because yeah, you're not wrong. People could stand to do better.
...I don't disagree with that. But getting people to stop long enough to listen is always going to be a problem other people have to solve. You'd think people would be more willing but...I don't know. I can get that there're circumstances where you sort of just...act.

Hey Vash.

I think what to do next is to head to your warehouse later. It's safe there.
[ Supposedly. Anyway, once Vash sizes up next to Jonas, he shows him his phone...
Pictures of Wolfwood getting staticked, hair sticking out, etc. It looks like he's going to murder someone. ]

You actually did it. How did you manage to sneak up on him?

[ Wolfwood was probably thinking about something else because Vash seldom looks innocent. ]
no subject
Pretty sure they call that a distraction, but good job getting to him. Guess you'll have to come up with something else next time.
[ but it's still funny. ]
...are you guys staying together tonight? [ he means their whole team. ]
no subject
I think balloons will make him wary, in case you ever want to try something.
[ Like Jonas will or something. But... Hm. ]
Wolfwood, Livio, and I are patrolling around to check if people are in their warehouses, but after that we are planning to retire for the night.

[ Hehe... He crosses his arms as he leans against... something... I don't know what's here in this court. ]
It is and I don't think we'll be able to get to everyone. Sending a group PSA would've been a good idea, but I'm sure not everyone will listen.

"Stay in your warehouses and I'll give you all $1 each." [ ... ] From my experience, people can afford to listen and communicate better.

Vash, I now have to question your bargaining abilities.
no subject
[ Don't worry about it. ]
Honestly, I don't get time to negotiate back at home. People are quick to draw their guns.
no subject
So it's really more about making sure you're paying attention instead of actually getting people to agree. Sounds rough.
no subject
[ Which may be weird to hear from a gunslinger from the wild space west where people are?? violent??? ]
A lot of things could be resolved if people talked to each other and listened.
