If you're looking for the farm stand out by the cottage, it's moved.
Don't even bother going that way at all, actually.

It's somewhere in Brick Alley, find it if you really want eggs and apples and whatever else I feel like stocking.

We are still cash only and any stupid questions about that or anything else will raise the prices for everything starting at 25%.

WARNINGS: mild sexual innuendo

girl help no one told me life was gonna be this way; network post; video; un: ndwolfwood

[ at least Wolfwood has his camera figured out and sitting at a comfortable distance from his face as he smokes his customary cigarette. Fritter is fighting for lap space with the phone, so sorry if you sometimes get an apply earball in the way, sorry fam. ]

So being that I came from a shithole wasteland desertscape, I never thought I'd, uh, run into a problem like the one I'm currently having. [ inhale, smoke curl, more scritches to try and pacify the apple demon trying to get into his lap as Wolfwood lifts the phone and turns the camera out over Persephone's garden in full bloom, flush and full of life. you might catch a glimpse of the cottage crew in the background, as well as the menagerie of animals they've slowly pulled together. Kuroneko-sama naps in an apple tree. ]

I have too much food. [ that might be a touch of wonder in his voice. ] We only eat so much and preserves take up space, so we're tryin' to figure out something to do with all this stuff. Somebody came up with the idea of a roadside stand, but we're out of the way for most people--but if you wanna drop by, that's probably where you'll see Kni if he ain't doin' his part time job at Vergil's. I ain't getting paid enough to explain to a middle school why my ten year old is sixteen now.

[ he turns the phone back towards him, scratching the back of his head with his free hand. ]

So, yeah. If you wanna buy fruits, vegetables, an' eggs we've got more than enough and I deliver. Vash also makes a mean pie. I really just wanna get stuff to folks since I'd rather eat my arm than let food rot, but the damn trees I stole from the weird animal island pop like every other day and I'm runnin' out of space to store all these fruits.

[ and then because Wolfwood's life is a bad comedy routine, a pair of voices pipe up: "C'mon, Nico, I have a name!" and "I got a couple of ideas, Nicky~". Wolfwood's face doesn't move. he takes another drag off his cigarette. ]

And if anybody can set me up with a good divorce lawyer before I give my husbands a Gunsmoke divorce, that'd be great. Y'can ping me or Vash if you wanna set up an order. Don't die out there.



need 450 wood to build a farm stand; action

[ and if anyone wants to come by, the garden's as chaotic as it normally is. there's a new addition of a pile of lumber and the bones of a roadside stand and a couple of heavy baskets to put on said stand once it's an actual structure and not just a dream. if you come early enough, you might get there in time to catch Wolfwood throwing apples at Dante in the world's weirdest way of making cider. ]

how, uh. how legally binding is marital paperwork if they deliver it to you? asking for a friend.

... the friend is me. they showed up at my door and threw sparkly trash at me and gave me rings and wouldn't leave until i pulled a gun on them and now Dante's not talking to me from where he's laying on the floor and Vash went out the window after them

i dont know how to be married help
don't open the door for those little shits
i can dump water on devils right it won't make them melt or turn into steam



don't even have to go to the chapel you're already married; action
[ this is a two cigarette problem.

Wolfwood has one cigarette in his mouth and another in his hand and he's just sort of staring out of the window if anyone wants to drop by--or if any of the residents of the cottage want to hash out what the White Menace just brought to their doorstep.

Slappy the Popplio is balancing the rings on his nose and having a grand ol' time, all things considered. ]

WHAT: arrival of a small, snarky child
WARNINGS: NONE ( that i can think of )

i / labyrinth arrival;
( when he comes to, it's — he's pretty sure there's nothing but sand surrounding him, but it's only the first thing he sees when he first opens his eyes, and there's nothing else as far as the eye can see when he twists his gaze this way and that. great. he's no stranger to the desert by any stretch of the imagination, but he generally doesn't go very far from the orphanage, because what is he going to do if miss melanie needs him to take care of one of the younger kids —

he doesn't think that's going to be much of a problem here, or at the very least it doesn't feel like it, but. it's still there, in the back of his mind, just on the off-chance it crops up and he finds himself back within the reach of the orphanage. of the call of nicholas! —

he walks. and he walks and he walks and he walks, and eventually. eventually he'll make his way out. how long it takes is anyone's guess, but. he made it, and that's something, right?

.//_ Long Sleep - ○ [ closed to Kni ]
[ Nights on No-Man's land are long and cold. The days are blazing hot in a way that can't be described--but the moment the sun went down, the air became dry and unkind to the skin, and to anyone who didn't have the privalege of a home heated by gas or fire learned to bundle up and wait it out.

The best that Vash the Stampede--once again a Wanted Criminal with millions of doubledollars on his head--chooses the warmest place he could to spend the night. The remains of a beat-up old restaurant that had been long abandoned now that the city it was in no longer had a Plant to breathe vitality into it.
That was his life, lately. Eat what he could. Run as fast as he can. Stay away from the major cities where the majority of people lived now that the world was so changed--now free of Millions Knives and those who wished to wipe out humanity.
Earth knew of the Plight of No Man's Land, now, and it'd be only a matter of time before the planet became one that thrived.

And Vash would be no part of it. Having saved the world, Noone knew the whole story of what he'd done. Only that the fight between he and his brother lasted too long, endangered the lives of too many--and they all wanted someone to blame it on. That's fine. It suited Vash fine to be the one they blamed. They were safe, and that's all he cared about.

《 All he cared about? 》

No, that's not entirely true. There are other things to care about. The insurance girls. Livio. Wolfwood's memory, and a small apple tree were things he'd have to take care of, still.
...And of course there was

...Eve, and Dante. Zulius and Jun... Rose. Waver, Takame--

Kni.

《 Who? 》

He's drifting into sleep that feels lucid. Like he's falling through space, sparkling stars passing through his fingers as he tries to wake up; tries to stop himself before he falls too far.

《 But how far? 》

The building he'd fallen asleep in had been dark--pitch dark, enough so that you could see the entire galaxy spread out in the sky just outside. And he's sure that's why his eyes suddenly ache, why there's a bright blue light that threatens to blind him.
And the touches of a ... song. One that, by instinct, he feels himself gently ... singing along to.

《 It always comes to me. That song. 》

It isn't in the dark, cold building in a forlorn, abandoned city that Vash wakes up in, but rather, the warm, bundled comfort of his own bed, in his home. His home--on Earth, not on No Man's Land. But...
His eyes fly open as it all comes back in a rush. Like a flooding of his brain, the dam between where he was and where he should have been simply breaks, and were it not for the glowing blue Plant holding onto him where he lay.

He might have thrown himself out of bed, all at once.

There are patterns dancing across Kni's face, in an odd, and yet familiar way that he can't quite recognise. His own skin almost turns pale and white under the others' touch, small, featherlike scales lifting up--under his eyes, out of his ears--until he's looking a little leafy under that glowing light.

...Unsure if the other is asleep or awake, Vash does the one thing he can think of in this moment:

He laughs. A short little unsure sound that bubbles in his chest, uncomfortably. An unamused, uncertain sound as he moves to wrap his arms around the small version of his precious brother. ]



.//_ Hello, World - ○ [ Open to Libra Network ]

video: un: ♡☮STAMPEDE

[ he almost wants to just do this over text. But. Given what's happened, he manages to tell himself that it'd probably mean more to show his face. to show he's alive and okay and--not. dying. Having looked back to the post Kni made, he figures it's pretty important people know he's. You know. Alive.

So the image that's appearing on the screen is of one Mr. The Stampede--and while he does smile, the expression does appear to be a little hollow, a little tired. Mixed in with the fact that his hair is nearly fully black--...strangely, save for some very minor golden roots at the very base--he's not exactly looking himself.

But alive. alive is important, right? ]


I'm sorry if Kni--
No.
I'm sorry if I worried anyone. Falling asleep like that and not waking up must have been pretty uncomfortable for anyone to witness. But.
...I'm okay. It was weird, but I wasn't ... here. I know I was here, but I wasn't. I think I went back home for a while. ...A long while. Once my internal clock figures itself out, I'll figure out exactly how long.

But I'm okay. I'm tired and I definitely feel like I'm made of rusty wire--and my face hurts a bit for some reason.

But I'm okay.

I don't know what you all did while I was asleep, but. I probably have a few of you to thank for what you did do while I was out.

Thank you.

...

Um. Now if I can. Put that aside for a minute, I have a really important request.

...I don't want to leave this world ever again.
I.

[ he's quiet, and his expression goes vacant--like he's somewhere else. Just for a minute. ]

I don't have any reason to go back to No Man's Land.
So if anyone knows how I can... keep from ever having to go back there.

I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks.


.//_ Home Free - ○ [ Open to Anyone at the Cottage ]
[ and after the message on Libra is done, he's going to get up from bed, where he's tucked Kni in--who probably hasn't slept in days and desperately needs it.

He'll be puttering around, refamiliarizing himself with the home he'd been away from for what is... likely years, at this point. Fixing his hair back into its usual style, and. Maybe looking for a certain something he knows Wolfwood might have hiding away in some corner in the cottage.

Feel free to stop him in his sort of manic, quiet shuffling. He could probably use a friendly voice or touch to bring him back down to earth after all that's happened. ]

LABYRINTH.

[ it had been raining when furina finally placed her head on her pillow. not heavy, mind you, but just enough to make it difficult for her to fall asleep. to allow herself to relax into her bed, to put thoughts of waters rising from her head. truly she had no idea how long she had laid there, anxiety crawling through her limbs, but eventually - eventually - she drifted off to sleep.

a mistake, the most dreadful of mistakes, as the sound of rain seeps into her dreams.

she wakes with a start, a yell caught in her throat, jumping as mismatched eyes scan the room and quickly realize this isn't her apartment. no, no, no, this is her former room in the palais mermonia. panic claws its way up her throat, her mind racing as her feet move independently from the rest of her body.

why? why did she wake up in the palais? why is it so quiet? why isn't there anyone in the halls? her footsteps, slow at first, echo off the walls as she walks through the empty halls. water drips from the ceiling, seeps from the carpets underfoot, and furina's footsteps get faster, more frantic. ]


No, no, no!! It's ─ It can't be! It can't! [ she all but sprints through the palais mermonia, pushing open the large heavy doors and stumbles outside where she suddenly stops. fontaine isn't underwater, it looks as it did right after the waters receded. but where there were people she sees only trinkets; a badge here, a hairpin there, a teddy bear, a camera, and so on. as far as she can see there are only objects of life, of the people who had once been there.

furina walks towards the teddy bear and reaches down, fingers curling around the soggy form, and stands up straight holding the bear to her chest. ]
This... this is a joke, right? Just a bad dream brought on by the rain. I'll... I'll wake up any minute now!! Yes, exactly, this is nothing but a bad dream. Wake up, Furina, wake up...

[ as her voice trails off she falls to her knees, shoulders shaking with uncontrollable sobs. ]



[ or maybe you've stumbled upon furina after she's found her way out of the labyrinth; which has decided the best place to deposit her is right next to a lake. thankfully she wasn't thrown directly into the lake, but it's close enough to have her scrambling away from it with a panicked yelp ─ utterly unaware of the phone beside her feet. ]

W─what was that?!




► APP, un: regina.

[ it is much later, and with some coaching from wriothesley, that furina even dares to investigate the app. which results in the video feed flicking on with an upside down shot of furina herself, she tilts her head, mismatched eyes widening with sheer delight. ]

─Oh!! Hehe, it is like a Kamera! But it's so much smaller! Wonderful! [ she claps excitedly, looking off screen at another before turning her attention towards the phone once again. she should introduce herself, right? the book did mention that others can see and communicate with her through this, didn't it? well, now that she has gotten it working it would be rude not to introduce herself.

she shifts slightly and clears her throat, putting on her best smile. ]


Hello, people of Kaisou! Stand up and rejoice, for Fontaine's most beloved star, Furina, has graced your lovely city with her presence! [ a laugh and her expression drops slightly, her voice taking on a more somber tone. ] Although I am still uncertain as to how exactly I ended up here, or for what reason I was brought, it is... a welcomed change of scenery.

So, um, one might need to get a proper lay of the land if I am to be here for some time. [ something in the back of her mind feels as though she might just be. ] Thus I implore you, my good fellows, to help me do just that!

[ she'd love some cake right about now. ]

[ He flips the phone around again, revealing a mint-green Vespa, presumably still in the dealership by the background. Anyone who knows the boys: this is a big deal. ]

We bought a Vespa! Woohooooo!

[ He turns the camera to face Luca smiling ear-to-ear, standing just beside their new Vespa, wearing a motorcycle helmet and waving at the camera. He whoops excitedly with Alberto on cue, both the boys' energy palpable even online. ]

Yeah-hah! Woohooo~! Haha!

[ Alberto flips the phone around to stand beside Luca, putting his free arm around his shoulders, leaning in close so they're both in the shot, both smiling still. ]

Sooo if anyone wants a ride on the coolest Vespa ever, I've got you.

[ Alberto pauses, then shoots the camera a suddenly serious look. ]

Oh, and if you're one of our new teachers at the high school: We definitely did not skip school today to buy our Vespa, because we're both very sick, and there's no way for anybody to prove we're not. Ahem. Ciao~!

Custom Text

The city of Kaisou has always been a hole-in-the-wall kind of town. While prosperous and peaceful, it's usually overlooked by the rest of the country and left to its own devices. Perhaps you were born and raised here, perhaps opportunity brought you here, or perhaps you don't know why you're here at all. Whatever the case may be, all your roads led to Kaisou. It's not bad place to be, all in all, so long as you ignore certain holes in the world.
