[ He can understand a decent amount of things on paper... whether it makes sense with everything else is sometimes another question. ]
Is it what would've gotten the ship into the air before?
[ Once again, the absolute insane power that energy-generating plants hold is so incomprehensible. It's like the same idea of being a poor person unable to comprehend the flow of billions of dollars of cash in the economy -- he's just a speck. ]
[ Vash strokes his chin with the free hand now, wondering... ]
If the engine and turbines for the ship are inoperable, even with maintenance and repair, then a gravity plant would make a good last resort. Otherwise, I read their main purpose is regulating gravity on different planets for humans... No Man's Land turned out fine, so! Pretty lucky!
[ Wolfwood feeling like a little guy despite not being a little guy. Vash pulls him along into the hallway, then through. A nippy draft wisps past them, with a hint of fresh desert air. Eventually, with the crank and clank of metal gates winding open, they are at the workshop!
A lot of engineering happening here. Angelina... Angelina is ahead... ]
[ Half-muttered to himself because what an absolutely insane statement. Humans really were too overdependent on plants. He doesn't have much of a comment beyond that because it's not like he's the curious type to poke and delve into it -- he's heard enough. He's glad... that she's apparently doing well...? Apparently.
He's pulled through the workshop. ]
What else do you make here, anyway...
[ Not that he's sure if Vash knows since he's only here such a small portion of the time, relatively speaking. But this was his home for a bit, so. Maybe he does. ]
[ Wolfwood is right about him spending a very short amount of time in the colony... When he was younger, he stayed longer, but what they fix up in the workshop has changed over the decade, you know? ]
They maintain and upgrade the smaller spaceships. [ Strokes his chin. ] I remember someone bringing in a broken toaster one time.
[ And Wolfwood may see there are some broken electronics and appliances. A couple of them look important, some are different just stuff for the kitchen, and lastly there are new creations. I'm just going to throw around that they're colony ship augments to keep it weathering the natural elements.
There seems to be a project to recreate anti-gravity technology to lessen the burden on their plant.
HOWEVER, Angelina is found with fixing vehicles and ships section. She looks great. ]
Fixin' up anything from toasters to spaceships... what a resume.
[ Marlon and subsequently Brad really are talented. Unfortunately he stops paying attention or thinking the moment he sees Angelina. He does not ask for permission because this is his bike anyway and immediately goes to check the state of her.
:O
ANGELINA
Technically in his canonpoint it didn't happen yet but in his backdated downloaded memories... he rode it to the orphanage... and then idr what happened but I don't think she got blown up to pieces or anything. It's still nice to see her all polished up though. This is his singular hobby. ]
[ Stop. They probably have a small team of engineers and handymen... I've assigned trigun engineers incapable of fixing a toaster, though. Well! He's glad Wolfwood's happy and he stays close to simply watch him glow, matching vibes.
She is a Little Different. There's a simple cross design on her new fuel tank cover. ]
[ They keep augmenting the toaster and not every engineer knows what happened to the frakentoasters.
It's engraved, but smoothing his thumb over the tank cover should tell him that Angelina got some new parts, basically. She's a whole new roman, but retains her original look and design. Vash breaks into some light confusion because this is also the first time he has seen the motorcycle after the makeover.
He peeks over and... ]
Uh... Looks like a cross to me? I guess they thought to add it for some flair.
Huh? The fuck they think they're doing, adding shit to Angelina while I'm not around?!
[ Just because he DIED? THAT WAS WEEKS AGO! THINGS CHANGE! He's not MAD mad but it's like the energy of when your brother goes and gets your dog a haircut but didn't tell you? Well maybe a slight bit above that because she really got a new tattoo. ]
[ If Vash actually contacted people, or at least his family, a normal amount they would have known about Wolfwood and it would be easier on all of them, wouldn't it. ]
You were dead, so... [ It's odd to vocalize, but he can say it. He knows a handful in the colony suspected Wolfwood's death even though they never asked him. Anyway, he's still unsure what to say because HE DOESN'T KNOW. ] I think they just wanted to remember you?
[ Leaning in, he peers at the design, then leans out to peer at it from a distance. Hmmmmm... He strokes his chin, tallying a grade. ]
[ Ugh. Ughhhhh. He just makes such a pinched face and he can't even argue because what do you even say to something like that? He simmers down a bit glumly, looking at the cross etching. As long as it's not garish, he'll keep it. ]
Yeah, fine, whatever.
[ He'll stand up and give her a lookover on the rest, turn the handles to see how smooth they are. How many months has it been . . . he is imagining going on a joyride. ]
[ It isn't gaudy. It's minimalistic and classy... Easy to see, but doesn't take away from Angelina's everything. Handles, smooth. Material feels great under his hands. She feels good.
Vash knows nothing about vehicles, so he just watches Wolfwood appraise the motorcycle for a bit before watching his expression. ]
Think of it this way, you two could match. [ Said with little snickers. It really is cute to imagine... And seeing Wolfwood fussing over his beloved motorcycle brings him warmth. Very fond and it shows in his smile. ] You got a stupid look on your face.
You can kindly fuck off, we already looked good as it was.
[ I think she has some kind of cross pattern somewhere to begin with because there were 'Eye of Michael bought this motorbike' jokes but if I'm wrong well, it's written into reality now. ]
You're stupid.
[ IT REALLY IS JUST A CHILD RESPONSE stop cute aggressing his love for his bike. ]
[ I don't remember his motorcycle too well so I will trust you because your a priest man expert. He has lightly goth or Catholic motorcycle now.
He raises an eyebrow. ]
That all you got?
[ But before Wolfwood can quip back, Vash gives him a kiss on the cheek... Just in case he gets offended by whatever Wolfwood dishes out. He knows he won't feel the moment if to say... He feels like putting Wolfwood into a chokehold instead. ]
[ He can't even finish protesting because he gets AFFECTION in turn for his RUDENESS and that's rude in its own way. He scoffs!! And hands off his bike. ]
Anythin' else you wanna show me or is this the end of the tour?
[ Woah? He won instantly with just surprising Wolfwood with a bit of affection. Love comes easily to him, but the romantic gestures don't. This is still too funny, so unfortunately he laughs. The smile on his face is a little shitty, pleased, and of course incredibly fond.
Crossing his arms, he recalls his little tour plan. Let's see. ]
I did want to show you the orchard they started growing, but... Wanna take her for a lap first?
'Kay. We can ask someone here to give you a little drop-off!
[ Vash rolls to his tip toes and cranes his neck, searching for anyone here. There are a couple of little scientists and engineers, so he waves one over. They greet him with a sigh, then asks if Vash plans to only stick around for a couple of days.
With a little nervous laugh, he answers they're here for a bit (nebulous), but then inquires if they'd let Wolfwood ride his motorcycle back down on the earth. With a thumbs up, they bring out a dispatch ship to drop them off onto the sand. They get a little skipper and here we are, of course with a chaperone because Vash can't drive anything for his life.
Back on No Man's Land across the sea of sand. He's going to watch while leaning againt the little docked spaceship! Have fun. ]
[ Wolfwood is also curious, but he was operating under the assumption it'd just be a few days. Maybe a week. He doesn't really know, he supposed they would leave whenever they felt like hitting the road and seeing something else. Man, what a clingy family Vash's got.
Not that Wolfwood thinks that's a bad thing.
He waves at the engineer in thanks as they're led down. Yippeeeee. He's not going to go... too far, just giving her a ride down the dune-bordering road for a little bit, checking the feel and if nothing else, feeling the wind in his hair again.
He disappears in the horizon amidst the rock formations. ]
[ And Wolfwood's left Vash with their chaperone and their questions... They're mostly about what he has been doing, if he's going to come back and settle here considering the only threats are barely threats to the colony now, if he's going to clear his bounty because he's obviously being wronged, and what's between him and that priest guy?
He doesn't mind answering them, but he also? Doesn't have an answer for some of these questions??? Wolfwood can keep driving around though. Vash doesn't mind suffering curiousity as he joyrides. ]
[ He'll come back after like 5 minutes. He's a little dusty but that just kind of naturally happens in this planetary terrain. He'll arrive and stop the bike -- it's not like one joyride has left him giddy to the gills, but he does seem quite satisfied with the function. Not a single awkward tinkering noise to be heard, the handles and pedals both smooth as butter. Shit, maybe he will buy the engineers a drink after all. ]
[ Their chaperone waves at Wolfwood when he approaches and out of nowhere warns him to not break their microwaves. Some of them were updated but none of the engineers wrote down the changes to them, so it's difficult to fix them.
Also, going to ask how's the motorcycle? There's always some curiosity to know how they can better machinery. ]
[ Just looks at him and stares blankly like why would he ever break a microwave but okay, message heard loud and clear. He nods and answers that it's running real well, like she's new but not so much that it feels foreign. Good work. ]
Yeah. Was catching up with stuff since I left. Joseph and Marin are getting married!
[ In which the mechanic will mention the wedding won't be anytime soon... Joseph is a perfectionist, so it may take a while. The answer on the bike gets a thumbs up. They mention that if anything feels off, feel free to tell them. Or to use their workshop, they trust him because he's with Vash. ]
