It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

Back home? You can find them in international grocery stores if you get lucky. Otherwise you kinda have to know a guy. Or like, use the internet.

[He applauds Law's dedication to actually eating the rest of it.]

I mean you can grow them but I don't exactly have garden space. These ones came from the gods, I guess.

[he's going to try at least, it would be wasteful if he didn't]

You have...international stores? That sounds weird.

[why the gods would give him this isn't such a mystery if it's something he likes, but...jesus Michael that's actually weirder than half the things people say around here. International what does that even mean? In a world where every island is a kingdom unto itself, the markets are a lot more homogenized than it would seem]

It does?

[He thinks that's one of the least weird things he's ever said?]

It's like, imported stuff. You see them in bigger cities, places where there's a lot of immigrants, because they want to buy stuff from back home. My mom used to take me to one for snacks when I was a kid, and I just kinda got in the habit of being able to eat stuff from other places.

[welcome to One Piece, where the islands are made up and the borders don't matter]

Oh, right. Your world has large landmasses with multiple countries. I forgot about that. Commerce like that is harder when most countries are separated by wide, pirate-infested seas.

[is he trying to converse to distract from the fact he just can't handle more of that pepper? maybe...]

Oh, yeah. I can see how that would be, uh, difficult. We used to have that problem, too, until somebody invented planes. I'm guessing you guys don't have those?

[Distraction successful.]

[at least he does his best to just deadpan and not stare like an open-mouthed idiot when people say unfamiliar things]

...no. I guess that means we really are less advanced than most of the worlds represented here.

[oh well. shrug. and delicately hiding the rest of the ghost pepper behind his thumb while he goes for a drink. OH GOD RUM BURNS THOUGH it makes the burn even worse, so for a second Law is left gasping through it.

Thanks bro. Enjoy the floor show.]

Well, I guess you might be advanced in other ways-

[He pauses, lifting a hand like he's trying to stop Law from drinking the rum... but of course he's too late. He grimaces.]

That's. Uh. A bad idea. But I think you just figured that out.

[He glances over to the nearest table.]

If we can find some orange juice or lemonade or something...

[cough] ...yeah... [cough!]

Something...acidic?

[interesting theory. He'd just go for water but go figure, that's like the one thing nobody is dreaming of eating and drinking at a party. What do we have here? Any kind of juice?]

Yeah, citric acid. It helps take care of the capsaicin.

[Incidentally, it also helps get the death smell out of hair and clothes. But that's irrelevant. Michael rummages through the feast piles. Thankfully, someone seems to have been dreaming of breakfast. He returns with a jug of orange juice.]

Here.

[oh! science words! that actually makes a lot of sense, now that he grasps the interaction, and Law wastes no time just. Drinking from the jug. Sorry whoever's this was, but at least he's clean?]

Better. Looks like I need to brush up on my chemistry, a bit. It's been a while.

[comparative physiology is much more interesting, as is adaptive surgery. Oh well, problem solved, thanks Michael.]

Hey, don't feel bad. I sucked at chemistry. I only remember this because of how often I eat hot stuff.

[It's handy knowledge for the person with no concern for their own mouth. Or digestive tract.]

You do this regularly? [weirdo] I feel like after this spicy tuna is going to taste like nothing.

You're right, though. I did ask for it.

Sometimes. It's way more fun to make other people eat 'em though.

[Obviously.]

Really does put everything into perspective, spice-wise. Cleans out the sinuses, too.

[deadpanning so hard. thanks Michael]

I can honestly say I really didn't have a need to flush my sinuses like that.

See who else you can nail with that, it might be entertaining to watch from a distance.

Yeah, I've tried, actually. You're the first one I've actually got.

[He sounds maybe disappointed by this?]

I was going to get Glacius, but then I felt bad because I'm not sure if he knows what a prank is? And then two other people just ate it like it was nothing.

[The bastards.]

Really?

[well now he feels kind of dumb for deliberately taking the dare, but. Eh, that just makes him braver than some, right?]

Who can just eat that without flinching?

Either people with broken tongues, or people with weird superpowers.

[He's not bitter you're bitter.]

Rita was one. The other one was the guy with the roses.

Guy with the roses...? [no idea. why is this city so weird? although, the handful of 'normal' people are mostly kind of nice, Law would hesitate inflicting this prank on Lance or Margaery for example]

So much for your prank, then. I guess you'll have to eat that whole jar of peppers yourself.

Yeah, what a tragedy. I can't believe the gods would curse me like this. Guess I'll have to bear this burden alone.
