( 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. ]

Comments

[touchups]

[YEAH HE DID. It's a sign that Law has been chosen... Chosen by a flaccoon (flea raccoon). He will continue to pile on this sand?! He's all just good vibes down here.]

Yep.

[Thanks, Mahito.]

It'd be more fun to bury you, though!

[nodo]

[ does that mean that steven and law have a flaccoon pet or a flaccoon cursed child? actually that is not a train of thought that needs to continue. it's so dangerous.

but it's cute that he's just sending out good vibes because law will send a few confused ones his way with the comment about being buried. like?? ]

...bury me? [ hello?? ] Not completely, though, right?

[touchups]

[BOTH OF THESE OPTIONS ARE HORRIBLE AND HILARIOUS. CONGRATS, SLAW. CONGRATS!!]

Yeah, not completely! [He doesn't want to double-murder Law okay, though his twinkling little sparks of amusement absolutely increase at the assumption. IT'S A FAIR ONE.]

I've seen humans bury each other up to the neck and then make funny shapes in the sand over them, so it looks like their head's on a mermaid body or something.

[nodo]

[ IS THIS REALLY SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE CONGRATULATING??? oh well. guess they are now but...hmm. he's...imagining what mahito is describing and it's a bit.

hmmm. he'll cross is arms and try to imagine it himself. ]

Do they? I don't spend that much time on the beach to do things like that.

[ he. seems....curious? morbidly curious. probably half because he's riding the flea's good vibes. ]

[touchups]

[YEAH!! What a great addition to their... family...]

Really? That's too bad. I spent almost all my time at this beach, back home! [HIS FLEACH. He pats the sand with his free hand, and there's a sense of nostalgia, on the warm-leaning rather than sad-leaning side.]

You should let me bury you. [YEAH.] Or we can bury someone else! Then I'll show you what I'm talking about!

[Since he seems so morbidly curious and all...]

[nodo]

[ i can't believe steven and law are married. ]

Most of the time I'm out in the ocean. I'll only spend the necessary amount of time on land.

[ so, you know, that's why his powers are so funny. either way, he'll make a small note of the flea's nostalgia as well as be surprised about the slight sad lean on it. not that law will comment as he is impassive about his own recollection.

the idea of being buried...hmmm. he would prefer to see someone else but. ]

Won't I get sand everywhere if you do that?

[touchups]

[Yeah congrats yall absolutely beautiful marriage that never happened.]

I wanna go out on the ocean someday... [HE TOO WILL BECOME A PIRATE. Wow imagine how terrible a curse pirate would be, nevermind actually. He does seem very briefly intrigued by the idea, but his attention span is tiny, so his emotions usually come and go in flits anyway.

Case in point: the intrigue is replaced by a vibe of Being Entertained almost right away.]

Probably! That part's kind of annoying.

[nodo]

[ a stew slaw marriage......... ]

Have you been buried? We could always go that route, too, you know.

[ hmmm. ]

...well, if I'm able to get a good enough deal to visit Steven's home then maybe you can get one good enough to see what it's like to sail with me. Up to you if you want.

[ did...is.... law might be asking the flea to join his crew in an extremely loose fashion. squint and you miss it. ]

[touchups]

[STEW SLAW....... love to see it.

Also this creature is just vibin' with a little bit of curiosity, because unsurprisingly, he's also chill with just being wholeass buried?? Help.]

Not like this, nah! [WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.] You could bury me!

[BURY THE FLEA! BURY THE FLEA! BURY THE FLEA! --Very glad that Law just opened the door of his world to a curse, who's Feelings Vibes definitely pique with interest about it.]

Eh, really? Wow! Yeah, yeah! I'd love to get the chance! [Clapping his hands together! PIRATE TIME.] Wow, I really hope I do, now.

[nodo]

[ closes eye and does not think about what it means, honestly. ]

Do I just use my hands to bury to or should I look for a shovel?

[ he raises an eyebrow and means this in jest. mahito can get a shovel joke but no one else can try. but no really, is he going to have to use his hands and dig up a hole for this flea...??

there's also a sense of satisfaction when mahito emphatically agrees to unknowingly join his crew, which is now officially cursed. so. fuckin. cursed. but hey!! why wouldn't he? mahito seems like a powerful yet very extremely chaotic ally. ]

I don't know if you'd particularly like it but if it's never a boring day out at sea.

[touchups]

[HEH... Law is a blessing. Mahito absolutely snorts in amusement at this terrible joke...]

I'd say shovel, but I don't think I've seen a place around here where we could get one. Hands, I guess! I can help you dig.

[D...dig his own sand tomb. Anyway, yeah, congrats on cursing the whole crew. Mahito is indeed a powerful and very extremely chaotic ally! And hilariously, in shady partnerships, he is also one of the least likely to slam betray. All they gotta do is deal with whimsical side-murders... It's fine.]

If it's not boring, that's good enough! That's what I hate the most - being bored.

[nodo]

[ IS LAW REALLY A BLESSING??? ]

Digging in the sand with my hands..? [ there's a feel of being moderately offended before he shrugs with a "oh what the hell" mood. he was already dead and there aren't a lot of things that he can do now given everything. so. yeah.

here is...the flea and a pirate doctor digging a hole in the sand to put one flea into??? what a fuckin graveyard this is. also having a conversation that may or may not be safe? depending on how you view things, i guess. ]

I remember you saying that. Would you do anything to prevent yourself from being bored?

[touchups]

[I MEAN COMPARED TO THE WHOLEASS CURSE MAHITO IS.

But yeah. This is the graveyard, wow. They're both just digging away; Mahito will eagerly join in after he finds a place to set his beachy drink down at so it doesn't tip over or get filled with sand.]

Yeah! I'm always doing things to keep myself from getting bored. [That's why he does like 90% of the things he does! He's a horrible flea!!] I talked to Greed about it once, 'cuz they were mad I kept wrecking stuff around the base.

[Take a guess at how much of the locations toplevel chaos Mahito was responsible for.]

[nodo]

[ that is such a low bar...... ]

Oh, so that was you? [ huh. just a moment where the light bulb goes off while he's digging the hole to shove this flea into. ] ...somehow I'm not that surprised now that you've told me. 

[ y...yeah....truly the flea is cursed but he has to wonder now, though. ]

Were you the one responsible for the scorpion? There weren't any animals or insects around that I knew of.

[touchups]

[It's true... It's a bar that is on the ground.

Also he just grins about all of this, god bless.]

Yeah! I drank some vodka or something with Shi Qingxuan that had a scorpion in the bottle and put it in the milk later just to shake things up a little. [HE SAYS, BEAMING. He's still a little disappointed that his scorpilk got found out before anyone drank it...]

I was responsible for a lot of the other stuff that happened, too! Almost everything except the cheese whiz and the steaks.
