week 1, monday

[We are here!!! Let's say we are at the canal system for now. I tried looking up what the boats in Sumeru would be called but I got tired after 5 minutes

Either way, this isn't a totally foreign sight to Kaveh--he gives Vash a little wave when he spots him, from where he's leaning over to watch them go.]

I wasn't really expecting something like this when I found out we had more space to explore.

[piteous]

[ he waves back at him and approaches. wow...

canals...

water.......

what a sight. ]

Honestly, I had no expectations, so I'm as surprised as I can be... But this is very different. You're supposed to ride these along, right?

[ohthehumanities]

[VASH YOUR SAD DEAD HOME WORLD!!!]

Yes, that's right. It's a little different in Sumeru, but typically, you can pay to be taken to different places.

[piteous]

... Is this where I pay you to drive me around on the boat?

[ Just wondering. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[????]

Do you want to go on one? You don't have to pay me. Why do people keep asking that?

[piteous]

[ A snort. ]

I'm guessing Ylva and Gerard were adamant about paying for services?

[ohthehumanities]

Oh, no--it's just that last week, Livio insisted on repaying me for healing some injuries he had. [He waves a hand.] I would do that no matter what.

[piteous]

Ooooh, I remember that! He told us about it and how nice you are.

[ Vash mentally pointing at Kaveh: good guy ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Aww, Livio. This is fine because Kaveh would die for Livio, who is his precious child even though he's probably older than him]

I just didn't want anyone convincing him that he had to repay them for healing. Denying someone basic medical assistance without compensation is ridiculous.

[Socialism!!!!!]

[piteous]

[ trigun is a weird canon ]

I agree, but that's reality for our world, at least. Fortunately, it's affordable—anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about him! If he gets scammed, it's because he lets himself get scammed.

[ Anyway, he gets onto the boat! ]

Onward!

[ohthehumanities]

Hey! That's-- [Hm. Well. He can't actually argue too much on Livio's behalf because he does the same damn thing... SOMETIMES YOU JUST KNOWINGLY LET YOURSELF GET SCAMMED OKAY.......

He clears his throat and gets on the boat too. He will let this go.]

Shall we see where it takes us, then?

[piteous]

Yeah!

[ McDonald's energy right now in this gondola. ]

What were you saying?

[ Vash isn't so rude where he'd drop a conversation topic... Unless he desperately had to go somewhere. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[They take the gondola all the way to Mcdonalds, somehow, even though it's in the previous neighborhood

But Kaveh looks conflicted for a moment, like he's debating if he wants to claim he forgot or something... but no, it's fine.]

Just that you shouldn't let him get scammed here--but, you know, it's different if he does it on purpose.

[Like paying for healing for a team that might need the cash or something.]

[piteous]

[ Help... Kaveh... It's fine. ]

Right, right! [ Vash looks forward, enjoying the ride. ] Livio's sharp, so if he falls for a scam, I'm sure it's because he wants to help them.

[ohthehumanities]

[Nothing is fine when you're mentally ill]

Heh, you're much nicer about it than Alhaitham would be. If he were here, he'd say something like, "Some people will succeed and some people will fail, that's just a fact of life. Stop being such a goodie-two-shoes and wasting your money trying to fix the world one person at a time."

[No one asked about this, Kaveh]

[piteous]

Woah, that's harsh! And sounds weirdly familiar?!

[ NO ONE ASKED BUT VASH SYMPATHIZES ]

[ohthehumanities]

[vash :handshake: kaveh]

Let me guess--Wolfwood?

[piteous]

[ :ARTHuRFIST: ]

How did you know?!

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP this reaction makes him laugh a little]

We've talked about it a few times. He's mentioned more than once that he thinks you and I have similar views.

[piteous]

... We seem to attract realists, huh?

[ BIRDS OF A FEATHER. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He snorts.]

I think it's the unfortunate fate of people like us. We always manage to find them, and they can never resist pointing out how wrong they think we are. [Okay Kaveh.] Wolfwood's much kinder about it than Alhaitham is, though. You're lucky.

[He maybe did not see Wolfwood and Vash at Mcdonald's weekend 0,]

[piteous]

[ KAVEH. NO... Vash finally turns to him and gives him a lOOK? ]

Wolfwood's nicer? I don't know how you survived if Alhaitham is worse.

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP

He just looks a little confused]

Well, yes. I mean, our philosophies differ to some degree, but it was nice to discuss it with him. [Kaveh's a nerd who likes debate regardless, but also. Hilarious.] Why, how is he with you?

[piteous]

He has beaten me with his cross.

[ bro ]

[ohthehumanities]

--What? Really?!
