[Lance, why is everything you're eating bread?]

No. [okay that was rude even for Law] ...no thanks.

[Don't judge him and his carbs okay. And he's not offended by the response, although it does make him ask--]

Are you okay?

[He presumes the rudeness is probably due to tension, maybe about the whole Name issue?]
hot_mes: (talking)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Fine.

[it's probably more likely due to switching from liquor to coffee and back again all night, not fully tipsy but also heavily caffeinated after weeks of withdrawal. Also, bread. He's offended by your bread, Lance. But for him to notice that something is off, Law can't help but look around the room like he has been all night]

...you haven't happened to see a very tall blond man, here? I mean easily three meters tall. Wearing sunglasses.

[What's wrong with bread omg besides it's also blueberries and pepperonis. Super healthy and balanced.

Lance's eyebrows furrow a little at that reaction, glancing around when Law does, but then shakes his head at the question.]


I haven't, but I haven't been paying a lot of attention either. Who is it?
hot_mes: (brooding)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-23 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[do not get him started on bread it's like it killed his family]

Someone from my world. [said heavily, in the sense that it's not someone he's happy to see] If you saw him you would know, he's hard to miss. If he shows up, I need to get away.

[Fine he'll just enjoy his bread all alone. But wow, that response isn't ominous at all.]

Why? What did he do?

[He presumes there's some serious history there, but it could really vary in what kind of history that actually is.]
hot_mes: (determination)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-24 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[since Lance never saw his nightmares, it's best to keep some of that on the downlow. But Law also wants to warn him - he's only warned people he doesn't dislike, after all.]

We tried to kill each other. I have no doubt that given an open opportunity, he'll finish what he started.
lifetothefullest: (ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ғᴏʀᴇsᴛ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-04-25 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He wants more details, but it's pretty apparent Law doesn't necessarily want to get into it. So he won't press for now, instead deciding to ask a different relevant question.]

Is he a dangerous person in general, or is this limited to an issue between the two of you?

[Not that the latter would be a good thing, but he's not sure if this guy is a loose canon threat to everyone or this is specific to Law.]
hot_mes: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-25 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[now that is actually a complicated question. Law stands there looking distant for a minute while he considers it. Is he? Knowing what he knows now of Doflamingo's past...]

He's a sadist and a sociopath. He has no remorse or capacity for humanity. But...the things he wants, the things that matter to him, aren't here. So, I don't really know. He could get bored and try to kill a god, or he could be content sitting around drinking. I have no idea anymore.

[he could very well wander into the party, enjoy some steak and wine, and aside from being a bit of a boor do nothing. or he could kill them all. who knows?]
lifetothefullest: (ᴇᴀᴄʜ sʜᴀᴅᴏᴡ ɪ ᴡᴀʟᴋ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-04-25 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Great, exactly the kind of people we need more of here.

[He'd been really relieved when the previous people that fit both those categories had left, although he imagines there are a few more around that are staying under the radar. But alright, first thing first.]

Okay. We'll deal with that as it comes, then, and perhaps we can figure out something new for him to focus on that keeps his attention.

[That's the strategy he'd wanted to use for Sato, before Sato had ended up doing it himself. But Lance is also quietly pleased that Law knows motives and goals are important in dealing with these kinds of people.

And all of that said--]


Is there anything I can do to help you, in dealing with the issues between you?

[He doesn't mean resolving it, really; he doubts he could. But it's more a roundabout offer to help Law in dealing with this in general, because it has to be a stressful and difficult situation.]
hot_mes: (frown)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-25 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[mmmmm that's good sarcasm, Lance]

I can't avoid it forever. But I've got enough going on without having to babysit the likes of him> on top of it.

[with a quick shake of his head] ...no. Just...don't get on his bad side. The impermanence of death doesn't mean he won't enjoy killing you if things turn sour. [and I like you enough to warn you, okay]

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-04-25 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Sarcasm really should be the official language of this place.]

It isn't your responsibility to babysit him just because he's from your world.

[He wants that to be clear; it's obvious Law has enough to worry about, especially with the Name stuff on top of everything else.

And yeah that's... That's a warning that is not at all terrifying. But he appreciates that Law cares to make sure he knows what he's dealing with, though.]


I'll try to avoid upsetting him.

[Which is easier said than done, considering Lance is great at attracting the attention of some of the worst people in this place and at home, but whatever.]

Does he have magic, or is he just a good fighter, or what?
hot_mes: (what he said)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-25 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[it really should, they're all fluent.

He appreciates the sentiment and the promise, letting some of the tension finally leave his shoulders. The uncertainty is why he isn't just grabbing his phone and outing Doflamingo, no sense terrifying people if the jerk just goes quiet and behaves himself.
]

He has an ability, like I do. [what did we say about magic, hm?] Strings. It's not as weak as it sounds, he's actually very formidable. [he gestures at his right arm, where the scar is just visible peeking out from the cuff of his shirt sleeve] He's the one who cut my arm off.

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-04-28 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He's glad to see at least a little less tension in Law's posture, although what he says about his arm is... Ew, and Lance didn't know he'd lost it at some point; it sounds like such a traumatic experience, and he doesn't even want to think about it that much. At least he somehow seems to have gotten it reattached?

And it gives him a good guess at what an ability called 'strings' might be capable of, too.]


Is there anything you can do to counteract his ability? I don't know how these things work in your world.
hot_mes: (haki ping)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-28 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[lucky for that, but. YEP. LOST AN ARM TO THIS GUY. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.]

Ah... [making a face. Revealing a weakness that could be used against himself is always such a tough decision. But there's also a fundamental problem with that weakness on dusty-ass murderplanet] The only counteragent is the sea: seawater. Which, I'm sure you realize, is kind of a problem here.

The best course is to steer clear of him and wait to see what he'll do. I could be paranoid for no reason... [hah]
lifetothefullest: (sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ʜᴀɴᴅs ᴛᴀᴋɪɴɢ ᴍʏ ᴡʀɪsᴛ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-04-30 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[...Huh. What a weird weakness, but yeah, definitely a problem here.]

I very much intend to avoid him. But when you mean seawater, does it have to be actually from an ocean or would saltwater work? Do you think if there was an ocean here that its seawater would even work, since it's a totally different world?

[What would count as an ocean anyway?]
hot_mes: (suspicious)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-04-30 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[he tips his head back while he thinks, exposing more of his expression to the light than usual]

I don't know the exact science behind it. But, in the absence of actual seastone, water is the only alternative. Actually...any pool of still water deep enough to submerge a person will do. [a moment's thought makes him snort in derision] You don't splash it on a Devil Fruit user like holy water. Submersion robs them of the ability to use their power. Come to think of it, I wonder if the temple pools will be enough...?
lifetothefullest: (ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴘɪᴛs ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴀɴᴅs)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-05-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, well, at least that's practical even if Lance is still not sure about how exactly that works. If it was just being in enough water to be submerged, why say seawater? Wouldn't a lake work?

But okay, he's not going to be pedantic, this is about practicality.]


Maybe. It's worth a try as a last resort option, but hopefully he will just... Not cause problems.

[He doesn't even try to hide the look on his face that indicates he knows what he's saying is pretty far-fetched.]
hot_mes: (brooding)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-05-01 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That's my hope as well.

[who knows how it'll turn out? And now Lance knows how to take down Law if necessary...]

Anyway. Not to make this all about my problems. You enjoying this...thing? [this party goddamn Law]
lifetothefullest: (ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ sᴛᴜᴍʙʟᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴇᴀᴄʜ ᴍɪsғɪʀᴇ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-05-01 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Hopefully he'd never need to use it, and doesn't intend to unless absolutely necessary.

But he brightens a little at the question, allowing the subject change without protest.]


It's pretty great. I'm not really into parties, but it's nice to have food I actually want.

[For the first time in... He's not sure, honestly.]

You seem less enthused, though; is it because of the issue we just spoke about, or...?
hot_mes: (poutyface)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-05-01 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly that, yeah. [he's not kidding that he's completely distracted by it] But I'm not much of a party kind of guy. Even with good food and drink.
lifetothefullest: (ᴇᴀᴄʜ sʜᴀᴅᴏᴡ ɪ ᴡᴀʟᴋ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-05-01 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
You can always just take your food and leave; I'm thinking of doing that pretty soon.

[After he trades around a bit and gets to try a few more things, and then he's going to bail back to his own apartment.]
hot_mes: (omg wat)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-05-01 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
As long as all the good stuff won't just disappear after we're outside a range or something. I wouldn't put it past them.

[but really, he can't stay on his guard all night, that's no fun. Law nods in agreement with Lance's plan - it's as good a one as any. Now, how much coffee and alcohol can his arms hold?]

Better than nothing, I guess.
lifetothefullest: (ɪ ᴍɪss ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴏʀᴇ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2018-05-05 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't put anything past them, but it's worth a try.

[And all of that settled--]

I'll leave you to it, and good luck. If it does disappear though, send me a message so I don't bother carrying things.

[He's half joking.]
hot_mes: (cool smile)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2018-05-05 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[this is why he likes you, Lance. Also good job getting him to spill his actual worries, you're good at this.]

...yeah all right. Later.
