There's no reply, but Childe will seek him out, wherever he is in public. He claps a hand on Law's shoulder, nodding in the general direction of sleep bay. TO HIS ROOM, LAW, let's not get caught chatting about moida in public.]
[ to the point and the best way to arrange a very important meet up with few words! it's great!! though once they make it into childe's room securely with all of the doors shut, law will get right to the point.
after all, there's no real reason to beat around the bush about this stuff. they just need to make sure the walls don't have ears. ]
I won't tell you exactly who so you can avoid being directly involved, but I'm definitely making my move given the little announcement made by Sasazuka earlier.
[UggghHHHHHH Sasazuka. The annoyed look on Childe's face probably says enough about what he thinks of that.]
They're going to be a problem. [WHY DID THEY LET THE COPS LIVE THIS LONG. AWFUL.] But you're right, don't tell me too much. It'll make things too complicated.
[The more truthful he can be, the better. Too many lies, especially elaborate ones, make it far too easy to get caught.]
Make sure you don't end up with them when the doors lock. Do you have someone you can stay with, who you know won't bother to check you over?
[ i can't believe both childe and law are saying "fuck the police". but looks at what kind of people they are and just nods. ]
They're definitely going to a problem but also a great help if we want to figure out what's going on.
[ so, you know, that's gonna be fun? the fine balancing act of letting them know enough to help and then not enough to convict particular murders. ]
But, no, I don't. However, I believe I mentioned during the past trial that I'd be staying at the med bay till further notice. [ law was the only person who would check over other people so...?? ] I plan on sticking with that for as long as I can as well.
That's if someone doesn't decide to take them out.
[Childe probably? Won't?? Honestly he hasn't decided yet but it seems like more trouble than it's worth, even for him.]
Alright. Perhaps let them know you've got that area covered, then, so that they aren't there with you. [Maybe he'll do the same, actually. Hm. He'll think about it.] Have you decided what to do for a weapon?
Time will tell if someone decides that they're too much of a pain to deal with compared to what they want.
[ support childe even though it's like "grant francy her non-tutorial death". ]
...but should I let them know where I'm staying? I had no idea that they were keeping track of where people were staying on a semi-public basis. [ hmmmm...this is interesting information. ] I have, but I also have a few in mind as back-up.
Well, I don't know for sure that they are. But they're trying to get organized. The more they think you're on their side, the better.
[Plus, "med room" isn't exactly a suspicious location choice. Still, it's up to Law. He doesn't think Mineo and Sasazuka will be in the med room this week, unless they also get whisked away for some kind of adventure.]
Alright, good. [He pushes his bangs out of his face with a sigh.] I'm not sure what I have to offer you, I'm afraid. The most effective tool I have right now is one of the dumbbells, from the gym. [And there are plenty of those left, so Law could grab his own if he wanted.] What was it you received, from those little adventures we went on last time?
I've been talking to them briefly about what's been going on; I doubt that they'll consider me as a top candidate given what we've been discussing.
[ also he's "the doctor", most people wouldn't immediately want to convict the doctor for murder. seems kind of counter productive in terms of what kind of people you'd want to keep around THO there are healing pods...
law will consider the dumbbells for a moment. it could be useful in what he has planned but at the same time— ]
I'll consider using one of those but I wonder if it will work with what I have planned. [ a beat. ] My prize was the ability to make someone obsessed over an idea, person, or item.
I'm fairly positive. Not too many would be eager to consider the doctor to be someone who they should fear instead of look toward for aid.
[ though you now, healing pods. but then the madness with molly happened so who the fuck knows anything anymore. law had quite the time and it was interesting to see how many people were yelling for him for once :') that said, he'll consider what childe's saying... ]
Wouldn't put that you at risk as well? [ law is here to win but childe is helping him out so— ] If I plan on using it, I would want to do so during trial to throw someone else on my trail.
They won't want to lose your skills so quickly, either. Not everyone trusts those pods. [Technology always has a chance of failure tbh. So do people, of course, but Childe is biased. Then again, Childe's perception is skewed by his own endurance and capabilities.
He waves a hand at the question, though.] Don't worry about that. I have people who'd cover for me, if needed. [Probably. It'd be hella awkward if they didn't.] Just time it carefully if you do that, alright? They're sure to track what was being discussed.
Of course. [ just an idea to spitball. a little plan or, uh, ""plan"". ] Or we could both do it at once; two different red herrings but I suspect that would be a bit harder to coordinate wordlessly in front of all of the others.
[ hmmm. not sure if he likes where that could lead them both. ]
I won't ask you to stick your neck for me than necessary. What you're willing to do for me is more than I've expected.
