Potatoes?
CHARACTERS: Vash & You
TIME: Today
LOCATION: Mess Hall
WARNINGS: Alcohol and being blackout drunk
[ There's a bit of a mess in the cafeteria, and the mess is named Vash Saverem. Slumped over the table like an oversized toddler, the engineer is clutching a pail like it's the most important item in the world.
Whatever is in it smells awful. Like straight up death and dumb ideas. Trying to grow potatoes from synthesized ones was one horrible mistake, and trying to ferment them into alcohol an even worse one. How he's even managed to drink himself stupid on it without throwing it up from the taste alone is impressive.
He just - he needed to get that image out of his brain by any means possible. His twin, filling the sky with blades, slicing through stone like it was butter. His laughter. So yeah, he might have been binge-drinking from a pail of cloudy death vodka.
...the only redeeming quality in this pathetic display is the P-HYMN-1.A on the table next to him, showing acceptable levels of methanol. He'll live, but he'll be wishing he didn't when the terrible moonshine has run its course. ]

Oi. [ He's been gruff up until now, but that warning is cold. ] There's some things you don't joke about, I don't care how drunk you are.
[ But Vash is drunk -- stupidly, worthlessly drunk -- and Wolfwood's tone softens almost immediately back to his regular harmless roughness. ]
You had another dream, huh? Sounds like a bad one.
no subject
He just wanted his thoughts to not exist for a while. Is that so bad? ]
S'bad.
[ It's hard to hear him now when he's pushed up against a body, but maybe that's intended... and probably drooling or something with how garbled it is.
At least the uniforms are mostly waterproof. ]
SO many blades, Wolfie. So many.
no subject
Stuck in his thoughts, the nickname catches him off-balanced and he nearly stumbles, grip tightening so he doesn't drop the jerk in his arms. ]
Did you just call me Wolfie?!
no subject
Bleary blue eyes blink up at the other man as his head flops back, and he looks only half-there. The rest of him is reliving those blades over and over, and that's what he tried to kill. ]
Wolfie! You're Wolfie. Wolfwood. Wolfwooooooood. Wolfie.
[ ...yeah, he's not doing well. ]
no subject
You're even stupider than usual when you're drunk, you know that?
[ Wolfie. Unbelievable. ]
Shut up with that Wolfie shit, and tell me about this bad dream of yours.
[ Please let them not run into anyone in the hallway! There's only a handful of people on this ship, but sometimes their timing is terrible. ]
no subject
[ He closes his eyes again, wondering if unconsciousness would be easier. ]
I saw... Nai. Then... blades. So many. A whole sky.
[ Ugh. He's starting to look a little green. Better lean him to the side so he doesn't choke. ]
Then... then he destroyed a whole city. M'brother. He did it. Just... sliced it.
[ The sudden cold sweat isn't a good sign, but who knows if it's from the alcohol or his 'dream'. ]
no subject
[ Dreaming bad shit about somebody you care for -- don't people usually care for their siblings? Wolfwood wouldn't know, but he thinks that's the case -- seems pretty awful. Maybe it feels like a betrayal? Even thought it's just a dream, maybe it felt real. It sure landed him in the cafetria drinking whatever the fuck that was in the bucket.
God, Wolfwood's going to gag if he thinks about that bucket too much. ]
Sounds like your dream brother's a real asshole. Is that what the real one's like too?
[ From the way he's asking the question, it's clear (to anyone sober) that he expects the answer to be no, of course not. ]
no subject
Yes.
[ He says ever-so-softly, with the kind of lived fear of someone haunted by his past. Kni drove him to the fringes, forced him to hide among the badlands as his body suffered through betrayals and radiation. ]
He killed our... our mother. Never stopped chasing me. No blades, but... but...
[ Finally, Vash reaches a breaking point and throws his head to the side to empty his potato-death drink all over the floor. There is no way he's going to know what he's said after this. It's a miracle he's still conscious. ]
no subject
He doesn't avoid the splash. ]
Fuck, fuck, hold on!
[ He takes a quick scurry-step back away from the growing puddle, then drops to his knees so Saverem can get set down on the floor. Keep puking off to the side, please, and everybody pray that the smell doesn't flip Wolfwood's stomach too. ]
That shit is foul. ...No, keep going, it's poison. Get it all out.
[ Saverem's brother killed their mom? Is that true? Nobody knows better than Wolfwood the kinds of awful things family can do to one another, but...
Fuck it, he'll worry about it later. ]
C'mon, sunshine, you've got it. One more.
no subject
S'rry...
[ He seems to have emptied the last of his stomach's content, a few dry-heaves and uncomfortable sounds the last sounds out of him before he's drunkenly passing out.
Don't worry, he's breathing. ]
no subject
He'll carry Saverem's unconscious idiot ass the rest of the way to Medical, and then he's Baizhu's responsibility. Wolfwood's going to go take two showers, and they can pointedly not talk about this later.
...He might, though, make a stop (after his two showers) to talk with Rin about who has access to personnel files. ]
