[There's the sound of someone gasping. Her voice is shaky, she's out of breath, and she is audibly distraught.]

 

 HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!

Please, please you've got to- someone-

They've taken him- we couldn't stop them, I don't-

Help! Help me please!

 

Please help, I'm begging you, anyone, help!

 

[She's quiet for a moment, still fighting for her breath. When she speaks again, her voice is tiny and shaky.]

I just got him back...

[Action]

[Anyone around the edge of the village near the forest might see a tall, dishevelled looking woman in a sundress smeared with mud and grass stains and with a small amount of blood caked in her hair frantically trying to make her way back to her apartment building or trying to get people to come and help her.

She was out for lunch with Wolfwood when they were ambushed by Malnosso droids. She was knocked out and the robots made off with her sweetheart in the meantime.

Milly is a woman on the edge and not even pudding will stop her.]

But you always-

What if they hurt him? I can't- What if he-

Re: [Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[There's a pause as Vash waits for a dizzy spell to pass.]

Where are you Milly? [Probably what he should have asked first instead of taking off blindly.]

Re: [Voice]

[stungunning]

[Blinks and looks around her.]

I don't know- I don't know where I am right now. He said this was a nice walk to take out to the forest and I don't know how to get back...

I don't know what to do Mr. Vash.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

It's okay. I'll be there soon. [He hopes.] What part of the village did you come from? Do you see or hear either of the rivers?

[Voice] is this okay? Amelia would see what Vash said first.

[thedicearecast.livejournal.com]

[Amelia hears when Vash leaves the apartment, and is on her way out a second later. She's just been listening to the conversation so far, but when Vash starts asking directions, she interjects, still over the journals as she has yet to catch up.]

I'm coming too.

Milly, it'll be all right.

[Voice] 8D I'm fine with it as long as Milly-mun is!!

[goldenglasses]

[Vash waits just outside the apartment building for Amelia and for more information from Milly before he goes wandering off in possibly the wrong direction.

He's happy Amelia is following him really. Since his impromptu spring swim in the ocean had lead to this cold his train of thought isn't what it should be. It will be good to have someone with a clear head with him.

So he waits, leaning slightly against the wall, coat unbuttoned over his pajamas, and his hair a mess. Damn it, Wolfwood. They better not hurt you.]

[Voice] Fine by me!

[stungunning]

[Milly's voice is still shaky, this time tinier as the adrenaline starts to wear off.]

Mr. Vash, Miss Amelia, are they going to kill him?

[Action/Voice] \o /

[thedicearecast.livejournal.com]

[Amelia only needs a few minutes to make her way out, journal still in hand. She frowns when she sees Vash, who looks like an absolute mess.]

You're still sick.

[It's not a question, but Amelia knows arguing won't do any good. Getting Vash back into bed will take too much time, and they have to focus on Milly and Wolfwood right now. Not that she knows the first thing about the kidnappings--but that doesn't stop her from answering Milly when she asks that question in such a fearful voice.]

No.

[Amelia silently meets Vash's eyes, wanting his confirmation. If she doesn't get it, Amelia's more than willing to hunt down whatever it was that took Wolfwood, regardless of how impossible Vash has already claimed it to be.]

[Action/Voice] 8D *tracks thread!*

[goldenglasses]

[Vash nods with a slightly flushed face to Amelia and repeats her answer in a firm voice to Milly.] No. They won't kill him. He'll be back. [Possibly hurt, possibly changed in some way, but he WILL be back.]

Milly, I want you to hold the book up and move it around so I can see where you are.

[Vash knows the forest almost like the back of his hand after having spent a year and a half of his life in it. Maybe there's a tree or a rock that he'll be able to pick up on where she is.]

[Action/Voice] Finally gets to this I'm so sorry; manic weekend sapped my ability to brain Milly

[stungunning]

[She lifts up the journal, showing her location to be at the edge of the village near the fringe of the forest. There's the sound of running water, she's near a bridge it seems.]

Why did they take him? I don't understand...

[Action/Voice] No worries! Life happens!

[goldenglasses]

[Good, Vash actually knows where she is.] Stay there, Milly. I know where you are and we're coming. [He gives a slight nod to Amelia before heading off in the right direction. For how badly his head feels to be swimming right now he walks fairly straight with only an occasional sway in his step.]

I really don't know the reason for sure, Milly. I'm sorry, all I really know for sure is that he will be back.

[Action/Voice] Yep. Take mine, for instance! orz

[thedicearecast.livejournal.com]

[And Amelia is off with Vash. It's important that they get there quickly, so she'll even offer some support when Vash sways. She's wearing her coat, so it's not like they're actually touching.]

You said you tried to fight them. [Focus on what they can fix. Maybe now that Milly's calm, she'll give Amelia and Vash that answer.] Did they hurt you, Milly?
