DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

[...Yeah, so about that whole attempt to play the fool? Mihai's going to assume you're done with that.]

You know, I've been doing this for most of my life. It's not all that often I meet a guy who can make me feel like an amateur again.

[Mihai will quickly slide out his own empty clip, then replace it with a single smooth motion.]

[goldenglasses]

Well, I did just lucky most of the time. [He'll HALF be done with it.]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

No you didn't. [Mihai's grinning a bit now, largely because trying to argue with the guy clearly won't work. So Mihail will call Vash on his crap, but without any sort of anger behind it.]

So do you always aim not to kill?

[goldenglasses]

Yes, it is not for us to decide who lives and who dies, so no one has the right to take the life of another. [Wow, you got a straight forward, honest, and serious answer from him!]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

[Well that answer makes Mihai silent for several minutes. There are things to shoot again, which does help--and yes Vash, he'll be good and just go for disabling. Like he said earlier, there's no point in wasting bullets, or putting Vash at risk because he's too busy trying to "correct" Mihai.]

That's a pretty philosophy you've got. If you didn't shoot so well, I'd guess that you'd never lived in the real world.

[goldenglasses]

[Seeing as his cover is blown, Vash will help you take out the targets. Aiming to take out their wings as they fly. As for your comment, he doesn't really have much to say to that. Gunsmoke is about as real as it gets.]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

[Well, silence works for now. Mihai can focus on the work while it stretches, along with his own thoughts. He's a little annoyed by what Vash has said, but he knows it's childish; nothing but guilt and anger at himself for abandoning that idealism years ago. But thinking through things, situations he's been through, something that naive just wouldn't have been possible for him. It isn't Gunsmoke, no, but the city isn't a nice place either.]

Well. I was blunt earlier, but I guess if you can live that way, it's a good thing. [More power to you, Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

You think so? [He was expecting a lecture; hearing that instead is kinda nice.]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

It's definitely harder to do. [And not for Mihai; some people really did deserve to die for what they did, whether this guy thought it was a person's "right" to judge that or not.] But it's probably nobler.

[Mihai thinks back to something, and grins.] This might sound kind of random, but you wouldn't happen to know a preacher with a giant cross?

[goldenglasses]

Who smokes, swears, and really isn't all that priestly? [Because you know... there's just so many of them.]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

[Mihai laughs.] That's him. [Which makes this guy the one who keeps Wolfwood from becoming a devil. Not that Mihai will let Vash in on that part, but it's good to have met the guy.]

I've shared a few drinks with him. My name's Mihai Mihailov, by the way.

[goldenglasses]

Good to know.

[Wait... if you figured out he knows Wolfwood.]






...what did he tell you my name was? [HIS HAIR DOES NOT LOOK THAT MUCH LIKE A BROOM!]

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

He didn't.

[Consider yourself lucky, Vash. Wolfwood was saying nice things about you.]

Your name can't be that bad, can it?

[goldenglasses]

Oh, he didn't?

Nothing to do with a br- you know what, never mind.

[whichwayagain.livejournal.com]

...I guess I'll have to ask Wolfwood then. [Since you still haven't introduced yourself.]

[goldenglasses]

I think I will next time I see him. [Meh, names are overrated.]
