week 0, monday, bm gym

[damp]

[ i suppose vash can be hovering nearby while rin is using the leg press. do people normally chat up one another at the gym? ]

Are you waiting to use this?

[piteous]

[ didn't I ask you a long time ago if people hook up at the gym? ]

What is this even for?

[ WHAT IS THIS the answer is no ]

[damp]

[ did you?? ]

You've never used one before? [ hm ] No gyms on No Man's Land?

[piteous]

[ i hope that's how rin has a meet cute ]

Don't think we have any of those... Some inns do have weights if you wanted to train during your stay, but that's pretty rare.

[damp]

[ kind of without thinking about it, ] Did they have anything on that planet?

[piteous]

[ He starts sweating because he feels put on the spot. Don't mind if he grabs Rin's wrist like it's a comfort. ]

No Man's Land has its own charm!

[damp]

[ senses his discomfort and uses this as an opportunity to hug him

it's awkward ]

Uh.

[piteous]

[ Uh... He pats Rin's back? Vash seems less awkward about the hug, but it's awkward, anyway. ]

We have worms.

[damp]

[ QUICKLY LETS GO and pretends it didn't happen ]

Worms? That's it?

[piteous]

... Beggars can't be choosers.

[ Arms out, empty... Where Rin used to be. Vash hasn't quite notice yet. ]

[damp]

[ stop that's so sad. rin is embarrassed just looking at him. ]

... Sounds like a tough place to live.

[piteous]

For people there it's just everyday life.

[ A way to say don't worry about it. People are living their lives to the fullest no matter where they are.

Waddling closer, he gives Rin a hug. It isn't as awkward. ]

So you were going to use that machine, right? It's all yours!

[damp]

[ I was going to say it's a comfortable hug but then I remembered Vash is half metal.

So Rin can notice it too. ]

You're kind of... hard?

W1 : MONDAY

[piteous]

[ They can be in the museum!! Vash is eating a croissant for his sensitive tummy. ]

This place sure has a lot of stuff...

[damp]

[ Hi Vash. ]

Is it overwhelming?

[piteous]

A little, but it's fun! A lot to see and learn.

[ hello rin ]

It kinda takes me back to when I was young, reading a bunch of books from the old world.

[damp]

The old world? Is that Earth?

[ he vaguely remembers livio mentioning they had to get the hell out of dodge ]

[piteous]

Yooouuu got it!

[ Fingerguns. ]

[damp]

So they had books about it...

[ weird ]

How's it live up to your imagination then?

[piteous]

A couple, but most of history was recorded as files in the terminal.

[ suddenly high tech ]

... I saw the T-rex skeleton.

[ His eyes are big, with awe (maybe some small fear), like a child. ]

[damp]

[ baby... ]

Haha, they're pretty cool, aren't they? [ hmm ] Have you ever seen a movie?

[piteous]

Yeah! It looks like it could be a giant tomas.

[ he'd be able to kill a t-rex, but you can still be scared of a thing, right?? ]

I've heard of it. Those are supposed to be very long videos, right?

[damp]

Yeah, there's a bunch of good ones about dinosaurs. If we get a theatre, maybe we can watch 'em.

[ anyway a squirrel drops on vash's head to try and steal his croissant ]

[piteous]

[ SHOVES THE WHOLE CROISSANT INTO HIS MOUTH ]

[damp]

[ HELP

THE SQUIRREL DIVES AT HIS MOUTH TO FOLLOW IT

rin just watches this trying to take it all in ]
