[ so, while law wasn't using his little bit in the simulation room as a way to gauge how likely he could get away with things or how he could influence people, there's nothing to say that he wasn't either. which is totally why he's here for sqx because wow!
not only did she stay the whole time, she didn't stand up for herself when he started to do things that clearly upset him. there was likely another person who was just as good of a target as she is, but he wasn't limited to his options. ...and maybe she's a bit more fun.
this is actually terrible, but henlo sqx........here's a law suddenly behind her. wherever she is that's clearly not her room just yet..? soon though. ]
anyway, shi qingxuan is on her way back to the sleeping areas from... (spins wheel) the planetarium. so, just in the hall on the way there! she's a little startled by the suddenness with which he appears behind her (and also by the fact that he's, uh, the corpse guy), but it's a normal enough question to ask under the circumstances, so she tries to wipe the surprise off her face when she greets him.]
Well, I've had plenty to drink, if that's what you mean.
[she has, in fact, been drinking a lot. but also: she's walking just fine. she has a high tolerance.]
So, gluttony. [ because that's an extremely obvious thing in indulge in that's represented here. oh boy does he wish that things could be that easy for him.
well...vaguely easy. nevertheless, he'll keep his demeanor less hostile or, uh, oppressive and trying to be reasonable! vaguel. ] If that's the case, how about you help me with mine? It wouldn't be too hard for you to do since you wouldn't need to do much.
[ she will definitely regret this. they both will regret this and that's just beautiful, but he'll show off his hand to her revealing the tattoo of a crown. ]
I have a few ideas in mind, but I'm not sure how you'd feel about it being a public display.
[ it's probably better if he doesn't do it behind closed doors but, well, she did kind of pass out on the floor the first time they crossed paths and that is kind of unfortunate. ]
If you're brave, though, it would be faster to do it right here.
[the crown... right, that's pride. she supposes the public thing makes sense, in that case - pride's about letting other people see how good you are, to some extent.
buuuut... she's kind of a weenie.]
I'm not really sure how I feel about it being a public display, either, so maybe we should go somewhere private first. My room isn't far.
[ bless her for being a weenie, honestly. while law isn't against what would count as "prideful" acts in public, maybe doing that week zero might be a little much.
next week though? (a naru will cry.) ]
Sounds fine to me.
[ he'll let her lead the way because even if they're going to same place, she's the one who will need to open the door for him. ]
[into the room they go! once she gets the door open, she'll wave him in, then pull it shut behind them. she doesn't realize hk-47 is in here, because he's probably just out of sight or something, like the gremlin robot he is.
[ privacy that is going to be definitely ruined by someone they're forgetting about. or, well, someone that sqx is forgetting about because law sure hasn't committed roommates to memory just yet. ]
Dominance.
[ plainly because, well, that is the easiest way to get things across. ]
I would say that the easiest way to get this accomplished is for you to just submit to me and let me do what I want and for you not to resist at all. [ and because law isn't an actual monster (even though he sure did cut up a fake dead body in front of her without remorse)— ] I'll let you have some agency but most of it will belong to me.
Well... [hm. that's. that's something! but, if it will help... why not, right? oh, but something occurs to her.] ...as long as it doesn't involve what you offered to teach me earlier.
[ this will now be known as the cucklefuck (instead of a chucklefuck) trio i hereby dub it because law will have two bottles in his hand as he approaches sqx's door. might as well get this over?? hopefully she's at her room and not...somewhere else. or this will look really funny.
honestly even if she's somewhere else, it could still be funny. ]
Hey—you around anywhere?
[ if....he sounds a little drunk then he might be. you can't get a hangover if you never stop drinking right? (as a doctor he does not approve of his actions). ]
it would be so funny if hk-47 was the one to answer the door, but how is he supposed to surprise cuck them if law knows he's here immediately? so, shi qingxuan answers instead, and looks from law to the bottles and back to law.]
[ IT WOULD BE HILAROUS. law suddenly in the position of the boyfriend(?) and hk-47 the overbearing/protective parent who just vibes on the porch with a shotgun.....
anyway, he isn't bothered by her confusion or how she looks between him and the bottles. seeing that just last week he told her she doesn't drink and it's wednesday. ]
Yes, and to try again for last week but something different. [ he waves his empty hand in front of his face. ] The other options for pride are to worship me or I guess pamper me.
[ he says "pamper me" in the same tone one would use for "whatever that means". ]
Something that wouldn't get me shot at by our robot friend.
Ahaha, can you imagine if a god worshipped you? [is that blasphemy, she wonders...] Let's go with pampering, for now. Sit down, sit down. And give me those bottles - I have an idea.
[ honestly, it would have been gold if she did allow that to happen, so he's fine to allow her to take the bottles from him as he enters her room. ]
What would that even be called? A god who worships a mere mortal.
[ ""mortal""? :thinking: but he'll go sit himself at the small table in the room. he's polite enough to not prop up his feet anywhere but he slouches. ]
Oh, there's no "mere" about it, you mortals can be quite impressive - but my brother would scold me if he ever found out, ahaha...
[anyway. she takes the bottles and sets them down on a counter in the mini-kitchen, before bustling about to pour him something from the first bottle. that, she sets in front of him.]
Now, there's no pampering quite like being made up - what do you say? Can I give you a makeover?
Spoken like a true god. [ which would sound condescending or, well, should? but she doesn't seem that bad when she says it. he'll take the glass offered to him but doesn't quite drink it yet because... hm..? ]
Makeover?
[ he has an idea what that means in theory but in practice....? ]
[that's kind of all about him, isn't it? even if she'll be having a grand old time styling him up.]
But you'll need to relax first! So... [she comes to stand around behind him and puts her hands on his shoulder.] In the heavens, we usually start with a massage. I've never given one, but I've received a lot of them! How hard can it be?
[ well if she's having fun with it, he's not going to make a fuss about and will help himself to his drink and take a sip of it. it's not bad but what is kind of dubious is the matter of how she is offering a massage and...has never done it before.
surely it can't be that bad??? actually—well. ]
Famous last words, but alright. Show me the best that a god can offer.
[ how much worse can it get? the man has been drinking since monday. ]
[luckily for law, shi qingxuan is not a martial god.
if she was, this would probably be sort of painful. but she doesn't make a habit of punching away her problems, unlike some people, so her touch is light and gentle as she works out some of the tension in his shoulders.
[ gentle but firm, and i forgive you britt. either way it's good. law's likely never had a massage in his entire miserable life so any kind of attempts to work out his stress from his shoulders will feel....weird but also nice.
he didn't know what he signed up for but is low-key reveling in this. especially when one considers the fact that he'll be sipping his drink every so often. truly this is a very luxurious situation that he never thought he would find himself in???
why did they have to do what they did last week..... ]
wk 0; tuesday........
not only did she stay the whole time, she didn't stand up for herself when he started to do things that clearly upset him. there was likely another person who was just as good of a target as she is, but he wasn't limited to his options. ...and maybe she's a bit more fun.
this is actually terrible, but henlo sqx........here's a law suddenly behind her. wherever she is that's clearly not her room just yet..? soon though. ]

I won't cut you open. I'm fairly certain that we're not supposed to kill anyone as a part of our indulgences.
