[ It's taken him some time to digest the news about the true state of this world and the tapes, but he's hunkering down and trying to put on a brave face. Mostly for the Locals who are very scared. He figures most of the Arrivals have come across something similar in their own worlds. Only they had the equipment and means to protect themselves. These people do not. None of them do.
Despite all this, Vash is practically DYING that he can't ramble and be loud unit his heart's content, so he's doing the next best thing. Public journal. It is happening. ]
You know, where I come from there's not really any sounds except in the cities. It's desert as far as the eye can see, so I thought the silence here would be familiar, kind of normal. I spent a lot of time in the desert. But it feels very eerie here, I guess that's just cuz we're all straining to hear any sound! I wonder what a frog croaking would sound like. Or a bird calling. Whenever people talk about Earth that is the kind of thing they mention. Pretty crazy how all that can change.
But I'm glad the red dust chose some great people! I think we're all doing a good job helping here. Maybe someday we'll all have answers. And maybe get home.
[ This was all written at once, so no one can tell how long he sat there before typing it. ]
How many of you are planning on staying even if we do find a way back? I've been thinking about it. I don't think I'll be ready for a while. I've gotten use to trees. Silence isn't so bad. Especially when you have good company.
[ And then in an alarming switch of tone, he's on to something else. ]
Anyway, I guess to not make this so weird (but sometimes you gotta share your feelings right???) I'll wrap up with: Can anyone give a hand to an armless guy? I've got about a months worth of beard and it's not a good look on me! Clean shave in exchange for a drink on me? Sound like a deal?

no subject
what about you, where are you from?
no subject
[ Aaand because he can't really think of a good reason to not say it. ]
A desert planet a few parsecs away from here. but we were originally from Earth.
no subject
what the hell that's cool, what's it like in space?
no subject
[ He doesn't think he has ever said the word 'cool' in his life, but here he was. ]
... Very lonely. It was so big and bottomless. I remember being apprehensive.
[ But that was less to do with space and more of the circumstances surrounding the entire situation. ]
But there was a chamber where they didn't have artificial gravity installed. You could float forever. It was a nice feeling.
no subject
so you had an anti-grav room? that must've been fun. i've never tried it before.
i really want to, given the chance.
no subject
Guess I never really appreciated the fun potential.
It gives you a funny pit in your stomach. But it's freeing.
No rules kind of feeling.
I liked that.
