[ he sure did and now he regrets it because wow!! this feels nice!! never doing that again when he can do this.
or, well. he'll do that when he's feeling particularly grumpy or towards people he would like to bully. ]
There's not a lot of time to relax when you're a pirate. [ he makes a pleasant hum. ] Plenty of people out to kill you.
[ especially a pirate like him but the more she works at the kinks the more relaxed he genuinely becomes. he definitely wants more of this in the future. it's still kind of strange but there are hell of a lot stranger things he could get himself involved in. law didn't see the appeal then but he sure does now. ]
[on the one hand, he's not actively pirating right now. on the other, there are apparently people who want to kill them here if last week is any indication, so, she'll just purse her lips a little.]
Well, you can relax here. I'm hardly likely to kill you.
[wouldn't it be funny if hk-47 popped up and shot at him right now.]
[ LAW LITERALLY CAME HERE FOR A GOOD TIME AND IS BEING ATTACK RIGHT NOW??? last time made sense for him to attack but this???
??!??!???
you know all of that chill he should have had? or, uh, that tension that sqx was mentioning? all of it...back. like, sure, is he keeping his calm? yeah. is he screaming on the inside? also yeah.
he's also a lil drunk so like this is really a lot for him to deal with right now. ]
[strangely, HK immediately listens to sqx and releases Law?? unfortunately for Law's chill levels, he doesn't put him down so much as he just...opens his hands and lets him go]
Confirmation: Understood, Shi Qingxuan. How disappointing.
Query: Was it not the case that you were preparing to strangle this meatbag?
[ law will not fall to the ground like a hapless new born animal but will, unfortunately, still stumble a bit since he was completely off guard (and tipsy). the only real causality right now is his drink which had fallen to the ground.
rip his drink. ]
She was planning on giving me a make-over. Indulgence for Pride.
Query: What is a "make-over"? Are you finally going to replace some of those squishy parts of yours? I am no doctor, but quite handy with a knife and enthusiastic to learn.
Reply: I do not consent to being made into any different appearance or functionality. Especially by clumsy, inexperienced primitives. [he points to Law] This meatbag barely knows what a turbolift is.
[still, he hasn't gone anywhere and his tone is more complaining than actively threatening, as if whatever part of him that could choose who to listen to is malfunctioning]
[ you know, law was about to make some sort of snide comment at hk-47 about what he said but there goes sqx with her own defense... wow?? he hadn't expected her to so quickly snap back at the robot.
huh. then again, she's a god and what kind of a god is a push-over? he'll just mosey over to pick up his fallen cup from the ground before adding his two cents. ]
I don't need to know what a turbolift is to know what it's like to be given a new look. Shame you'll never know what it's like to have a massage.
Statement: If it is the choking-adjacent activity I had witnessed earlier, I haven't the slightest desire to spend that much time being touched by squishy flesh hands. Whether or not I can technically feel it.
[turning to address sqx]
Query: How is it that you plan to alter this meatbag's appearance if not through the permanent removal or modification of his parts?
[hk-47 just doesn't understand the appeal of a good massage... sad]
Why, by altering his clothing, doing his makeup, and fixing his hair, of course. With the right sort of makeover, someone can look entirely different, you know.
[ honestly? now that law has experienced the joys of a massage? completely tragic. still, more for him, he guesses? ]
And I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do for me.
[ i hope sqx makes law look like an ugly woman except that wouldn't be the kind of makeover we don't deserve. though the idea of him being anymore attractive than op fandom makes him to be is also distressing. ]
I've never experienced this before but if I'm to indulged, then I'm going to.
Commentary: Any alteration in this meatbag's appearance is likely to be an improvement. If your disguise skills are truly "second to none" let us see what you can do.
[shi qingxuan, who is a tiny bit drunk just from having some wine before all this (thanks, nerfed alcohol tolerance!) takes that to mean that hk-47 is agreeing to see what can be done by getting a makeover himself.]
Proposal: If you were to hand me some scissors, I am able to cut this one's hair. It is a holdover of my political dignitary programming that I can perform touch-ups on a variety of species.

has the bot always been this quiet? when did he even come in?? why did he even come in???]
Compliment: Well done luring your target into such a state, Shi Qingxuan. I am always a fan of teamwork.
[he jostles her out of the way and, his grip tightening, lifts Law wholesale out of the chair by his shoulders]

external screaming, too, really, because her voice is a little shrill as she stumbles back, jostled aside.]

Actually, it might be easier just to show you. I'll give you one too.

Do not come near me with any knife, robot, or I'll make you regret it.
[ is it actually an empty threat or him just him blowing smoke? only one way to find out, but he'll turn to sqx: ]

Yes, yes, we'll start with you first.
[she glances at hk]
...I don't think that will be necessary; he doesn't seem to be trying to escape.
no subject
Yeah, I came here willingly.
[ he's crossing his arms. ]
Massages are over; normally what's next is some sort of face treatment, isn't it? Or a hair cut?
