( graveyard: we're cursed..........3 )

[nodo]

[ since there's more of us now, let's set up a scene...ish. we're at the beach! hooray!! it's our government mandated party game!! hopefully everyone is going to be well behaved because law won't give two shits. he's already arranging this for some reason unknown to man. indulgences? indulgences....... everyone get your sins in. taps on watch???

of course there is booze because there is always booze. law does not perceive the meth. (if there is any.)

NOW!! EVERYONE. TWO TRUTHS & ONE LIE. ]

The first two aren't the same thing?

[nodo]

Just because you can't swim doesn't mean you don't know how to swim.

[ semantics.... ]

[housewolf]

I don't understand how that works.

[Confusion.

Listen, he doesn't come from a world with powers like that.]

[nodo]

[ look. it's still semantics!!! ]

Hypothetically, let's say there was something preventing you from being able to swim despite being able to. Such as getting sick upon entering the water.

[housewolf]

So you do know how to swim, but you can't for some reason?

Did you somehow develop an allergy to the sea?

[i don't know how these fruits work!]

[nodo]

[ there's some amusements from law with omi's struggle. at least he's getting it. ]

The side effect of my devil fruit abilities is that I'm weak to the ocean, or more broadly salt water. As soon as I touch it, I'll lose all my strength.

[ which makes it super funny that he's a pirate but sometimes things like this just happen. also, uh, this means he's a comfortable distance away from the water :))) ]

[housewolf]

[There's distinct confusion at the idea of "devil fruit abilities" but then it's sort of paved over with "this place is weird enough, and I am accepting this stuff is real."]

Aren't you a pirate?

[This seems hard to balance???]

[nodo]

[ proud of omi. honestly, law is amused with the way that omi just gives up and accepts this as gospel because it's easier that way. ]

I am and my ship is a submarine.

[ this is a man who does not know what self-preservation is. ]

[housewolf]

[SIR...]

I hope it's really well maintained.

[There's some concern? Something akin to worried mom vibes. But it's his ship, he should know what kind of safety precautions should be on it. Right?]

[nodo]

Of course it is. I don't set stay too long in any location that is too risky for my crew.

[ law will ignore your mom vibes with his nonchalant vibes. ...seemingly nonchalant. :thinking: ]

[housewolf]

Are there actually a lot of safe places for pirates?

[Wouldn't the government be after them or something?]

[nodo]

[ the government sure is!!! ]

Depends on what your qualifications are for "safe"?

[housewolf]

Not immediately going to turn you into the police... government?

[Naval officers? Look, Autumn didn't do the play about pirates.]

[nodo]

[ omi is doing his best and that's all that matters. ]

If that's your standard then there are plenty of places, however they aren't going to stop the marines from arresting anyone they see if they get caught out.

[housewolf]

Makes sense to keep moving in cases like that.

What does your submarine run on?

[Does it somehow power itself? how does one piece work.]

[nodo]

[ mira here asking the one detail that oda did not give me. do they have gasoline?? ???? there is a cyborg that runs on cola?? i'm in tears. ]

Standard engine fuel. However, in order to save on fuel or when we run out, there's also a sail we can use.
