Who: Vash and Wolfwood
What: Finding each other
Where: Central Park and then Lord knows where.
When: Thursday evening
Warnings: ...I'll let you know.

Upon arriving on Earth, Vash had begun wandering aimlessly around New York City. There was so much to see, his mind almost couldn't handle it. So after he'd joined a street performer in a gleeful little dance and snatched some free donuts from the donut company he apparently owns, he began exploring Central Park. He looked at the trees with up most curiosity, touching the bushes, getting down on his knees to smell the grass. A 12 year old had inquired as to what he was doing and when he began asking questions, the little boy led him around the park and explained things until his mother called him home.

So, currently eyeing a squirrel that had settled on the park bench beside him, Vash waited for Wolfwood.

	Though, in Wolfwood's eyes, he'd been saved in the only way that mattered. "I know. And you are one of the best friends I've ever had." He didn't move away. He'd missed Vash too much to care if he was being clingy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When Wolfwood stayed close, he tightened his grip and just lay back, pulling his friend down with him. "Same on my end, Nicholas." He whispered with a sigh, closing his eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled softly, staring up at the clouds. "This place really is paradise. I can't imagine that heaven could feel any better." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Really. I've never seen so much green in any one place. It's gorgeous. It's...perfect." He breathed, closing his eyes as a cool breeze rolled by. "So perfect." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded, hugging Vash with the arm that was under him. "It was worth it, in the end. I was afraid for a little bit, when I first got here, that the pain I went through to possibly get here wouldn't be worth the pleasure of being here. But. . .it is. If I had to go back and do it all again, I would." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vash reached over and touched Wolfwood's hair, gently running his fingers through it. "Yeah." Tilting his head he studied his friend, smiling a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That made Wolfwood blush again. He smiled at Vash, though, and then got to his feet, offering Vash a hand up. "I want to show you the teleporters." Which was totally why he'd come. of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:14 am UTC (link)
	Taking the hand, he stood and nodded. "Right, teleporters. Well, lead the way!" He smiled brightly, seeming excited. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He strode through the park, looking over at his friend every now and then. It was so good to see Vash happy, for once. This place really was paradise. The portkey to Brooklyn was easy to find, and he showed Vash how to use it. "This is my hometown. I'll show you where I'm staying, so you'll know how to find me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:18 am UTC (link)
	Of course, Vash was extremely impressed by the teleported and tittered with glee. "Alright." He hummed and with a little bounce in his step headed down the street, pausing every now and again to make sure his friend was at his side. "I'm...not sure where I live." He commented after a moment.

	"No? You have a wallet, right? They give you little cards here that tell you where you live. I think it's so you can give 'em to cab drivers when you're drunk." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:26 am UTC (link)
	He patted around, finally finding a wallet in one of his pockets. Pulling it out, he glanced at the little card and then flipped through his wallet. "It says I've got a few places around. One...here in Brooklyn, in some place called San Diego, California? And another in Montana..." Vash puffed out his cheeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	". . .Jesus Christ." He whistled, craning his neck to look at Vash's wallet. "Wow. All those little plastic card thingies? Those are money." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:32 am UTC (link)
	"How can this plastic card thing be money?" He held up a Mastercard Credit card thoughtfully, looking at it, scowling thoughtfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's like. . ." He struggled for an analogy. "You know how you have a key to a car? It's not the car, but it makes it so you an use the car? That's kind of the same thing. You swipe it through the reader things at cash registers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:39 am UTC (link)
	"...uh huh." Vash nodded a little, not quite getting it but oh well! He'd figure it out eventually. Tucking the cards away he pushed his wallet back into his pocket. "Alright, now where do you live? And I want to see that dog..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He led the man down a few blocks, rambling about the area, the nice people, the mean people, the various flora and fauna. The church he worked at was large, big enough to justify having two or three priests, though by no means oppulent.

He led Vash into the main church, bowing to the altar as he passed, heading for the priests' quarters. Before they got there, they were greeted by the sound of a dog barking and scratching at the door.

	He watched Wolfwood bow curiously, shaking his head. Even after all this time he still didn't understand human religion. But his friend seemed devout and he would respect that. Vash heard the barking and his eyes lit up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The dog, once the door was open, rushed out, all wagging tail and loud barks. The goofy grin on Wolfwood's face got wider, and he scratched the dog behind the ears. "Goldie. She's a stray Jordan, the other priest, adopted a few years ago." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:47 am UTC (link)
	"Brilliant." Smiling brightly at the dog, he immediately got down on his knees and began scratching her and rubbing her. It wasn't long before the two were wrestling on the floor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which was okay with Wolfwood, because it was hilarious. He sat on the couch, rooting alternately for Vash or Goldie, depending on who seemed to be winning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 09:58 am UTC (link)
	Finally, Vash was pinned to the ground by Goldie who started licking at his face, tail wagging. "Ahhh! Uncle! Uncle!" Vash flailed a bit, laughing before rubbing the dog's sides. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gunslingrpriest 2008-03-07 10:03 am UTC (link)
	Which was just too much for Wolfwood, who was nearly convulsing with hysterical laughter. It took a long time, and several nosebutts from Goldie for him to calm down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovedonuts 2008-03-07 10:04 am UTC (link)
	Grinning, completely content sprawled out on the ground, Vash hummed. "Oh, I've got to get myself one of those." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gunslingrpriest 2008-03-07 10:08 am UTC (link)
	Wolfwood laughed, sprawling on the couch, Goldie curling up on her blanket, worn out from the playing. "She's a really good dog." He beamed, albeit from an upside down perspective (his head dangling over the edge of the couch and all), at Vash. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
