(( I MISS YOU TOO. AND I AM SO SORRY. D; I SWEAR I’M NOT DEAD. THIS SERIOUSLY WASN’T SUPPOSED TO TAKE MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AND THEN THINGS WENT FLOOEY AND BLARGH I’M JUST REALLY SORRY. I’LL BE BACK SOON, I PROMISE. ♥ STAY AMAZING. ;~; ))

Blargh, apparently I lied. D:

Some minor weird/bad things started up, and I have to take a brief hiatus. It will probably be shorter than a week.

I’M SO SORRY.

Um. I suppose we should just assume Vash went to another random town to try to help plus start trouble plus wreck things. >.>;;

PLEASE DON’T HATE ME. If anyone else wants to play him, please feel free! :x I know I suck for leaving all the time.

No, you don’t— Annie, you don’t mean that.

[ gradually tightens his grip on her and shifts to rest his chin on the top of her head ]

Really, I like to think I know you better. You’ve dealt with some incredibly difficult things before.

I thought everything was looking up for you. What changed?

My week was fine. I’m still in one piece and not bleeding, which is more than I can say for you.

[ carefully adjusts one arm around her waist, trying not to inadvertently hurt her ]

Did you get help? You shouldn’t be running around hugging people if you’re injured.

Of course! Now, is that “hug olz”, as in a hug, or is it “huggles”?

Either way, anytime we cross paths, feel free to ask.

Really? Some of you can be so friendly.

Thank you, Anonymous! I’d repay you if I could see your face. Sorry.

You can’t tell me you have a knife wound and then ask about my week.

[ rests a hand on her head and frowns ]

What happened? Who did it? How far away are they?
