The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.



(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b ))

Not at all. I think something like that should, well... take however long it wants to take.

[arctype.livejournal.com]

I felt like I might have waited too long for it to develop.

But still... I'm very happy right now.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

Heh, me too.

[ a pause-- and then, switching over to goofy vash ]

... You'll have to forgive me! While I know I can be quite the charmer, this is the first time I've ever gotten myself into one of these! Shocking, isn't it? Aha ha ha! I hope I don't disappoint.

[Feeling a bit insecure herself] I-It's not like I can say I have a lot of experience myself and there's a lot I don't know so... I don't mind, honest.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

I promise I'll do my best.

[arctype.livejournal.com]

I'll have no choice but to do the same then.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

We'll be great.

[ Those are simple words, but coming from him-- a lifetime of solitude! And believing it would stay that way. And he met a girl who could change his mind.

He feels wonderful and he feels nervous and a little sick because of it, but it doesn't change the fact that he's just so damn happy right now. ]

[And at this point, she feels there's nothing else she could say.

So she just wraps her arms around him. If only there was some more time for her to know him and for her to tell him her story.]

[ And he returns the embrace, no more words.

Feeling really great that he won't have to turn himself in because he believes. ]

Hey Vash? Are you smiling for real right now? I'm hugging you, so I can't tell.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am.

[arctype.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm smiling too.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

Your smile is really pretty, you know that?

[arctype.livejournal.com]

Hee! That only makes me happier.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

Should I say it more often, then?

[arctype.livejournal.com]

Just say it when you think it's especially true.

I'm also glad that I can make you happy, if only for a little.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I can do the same for you.

[arctype.livejournal.com]

You know what? If we somehow saw each other again, at least we'd recognize each other right?

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's possible for me to forget.

[arctype.livejournal.com]

I won't forget.

If I go back to where I was from, I definitely won't forget.

[myarmslipped.livejournal.com]

I promise I won't either.

[arctype.livejournal.com]

Hm. It'd be a waste if I don't...

Vash, can you lean down a little. I should at least do one more thing for you.
