[ hi luca? where you at? law honestly minding his own business and isn't about this memory sharing life, however he hasn't quite figured out what it is that he needs to do to be able to avoid sharing the memories. at least the kinds of memories that he has been dishing out haven't been....terrible...
[ given the size difference, hope luca is totally fine with running smack dab into law's chest. ...which given a few things...maybe not so bad for him? ]
It's—
[ fine? a huge deal?? who knows what law was going to say because what happens when the collision happens is a snapshot of a very interesting exchange. there are definitely some people who are larger than life right here and now. law was already pretty tall himself but compared to these people he seems so short.
madness.
but hey! looks like at least this doctor isn't all talk and he really DOES know what the fuck he's doing? ]
[ law's got the picture of it being about memories but now he's just.... clown? when he did meet a clown??? well there was one clown he met (terrible) but... ]
does law want to go into the depths of explaining what an okama is? no. am i, naru, afraid of coming off as offensive as a result of it? yes. gomen maple u_u ]
Eccentrics. They have a certain way that they like to dress themselves and speak; you likely the person you saw was Ivankov.
If it's the straw-hat that I was treating then they were likely friends. [ he's getting picture of what luca probably saw. ] He involves himself in the business of others unnecessarily.
[HELLO LAW Luca just happens to be looking around at the slightly nicer clothes that are available at deadland shop now. They're still not his usual quality but they're getting better at least. Come try to find some clothes too, shopping is fun!]
[ HI LUCA.... since, well, law caught on fire yesterday now would be a great time to get new clothes, huh? sure he might have his stuff from home but new clothes is new clothes.
except...well. it's not like this man has a sense of style. hoodie and jeans for this man. he's not even bothering with sizes or the like. it looks like it'll fit, he's going for it. ]
Of course it is! Well-fitted clothing could take you from "a diamond in the rough" to "handsome". It's the suit that makes the man, after all. Here-
[He'll take a moment to eyeball Law for a rough size, and then grab a t-shirt that is better fitted to him. He'll also go for some jeans too, a nice straight (ha) cut.]
[ if luca is expecting him to go somewhere to get changed, then he does not. law didn't take off his pants during strip check because he never found it necessary and now? well, there was nothing wrong with changing in front of another guy and they were dead.
is law even luca's type?? who knows. either way he's there goes his sweater (ill-fitting) and pants (also ill-fitting) before he puts on the clothes that luca offers and... it's a better fit but he also frowns?? ]
[Unless Law is secretly buff AF then he's not Luca's type. Luca will also look away to inspect some nearby clothes while Law changes. It's only when Law is changed that Luca looks back, nodding approvingly at his own handiwork.]
Of course. It's not a tailored fit, but it will do for now. Ready-to-wear clothing can usually get close, if you know what you're looking for.
It's a much more handsome look on you, I think. It makes me wonder what you would look like in a suit.
[ depends on what mean by "buff" if luca's looking for beef, then law is not your man, but if he's fine with just someone who is sculpted then yeah. law's all lean lines and all of that.... either way not that it matters because that's the last thing that's needed in this thread??
nevertheless, that gives law an idea. ]
A suit? [ hmmm. ] I've never worn one before.
[ he'll give luca a bit of a knowing look. it's a suggestive look in that he means to suggest helping him with an indulgence (oh, would you look at that? it's a pride crown) but clearly not a sexy one. you know, since he's very much so spoken for and in the sense that he's not sharing. ]
[It's fine! Steven has already expressed that he wishes to be exclusive, and Luca respects that. Even if he thinks Law is hot- which he probably does on some level, because Thirst- he won't overstep any boundaries.]
I wouldn't mind, especially if you're trying to dress to impress. I'm something of an expert on the matter.
[ bless luca....and given this may be after party games(??) law is going to be doubly fine with luca's help with this. ...even if i might have to mess with the timeline but it's fine. ]
I don't know if I can dress to impress but I'm open to seeing what you can do.
[ crossing his arms over his chest. and the "impress" part is more like he isn't sure what would impress steven. ]
[They do have limited options here too, but Luca can make his fashion magic work. Even if he's not from a modern time, he has an eye for attractiveness and he also suspects that well-fitting clothes on Law will look good anyway.]
Well, let's start with those pants and shirt. I would say a suit would be even better, but there are none of those here. So we'll have to go with 'attractive casual.'
[He hums as he taps his chin thoughtfully. Then he goes for a dark blue sip-up hoodie, which he hands to Law.]
[ honestly, sometimes that's all you need given how law's wardrobe is just a lot of "eh, this works". so any kind of improvement can be good improvement. that said, he has no idea what luca is referring to so. ]
"Attractive casual"?
[ he's not complaining but is certainly taking the hoodie into his hand and putting it on, following the instructions. ]
If you look at someone wearing casual clothes but also think "wow, they are very attractive right now", then that's attractive casual. Some people look good in dresses and ball gowns, others look good in everyday wear. Admittedly we don't have any suits here to see how that looks on you, but I suspect this will work.
[Luca is going to reach out to straighten the collar of the hoodie a bit, making it lay flat in just the right way. Then he nods to himself, seemingly satisfied with the results.]
Normally I would say to add some tasteful jewelry, but we're rather lacking on that. So this will have to do.
Ah, but we need to do something with your hair too. Allow me?
[ like. very distantly gets it.... it sounds like the same sort of thing for him but truly what does he know? the man has been wearing a hoodie that was too big for him and questionably sized sweat pants in his free time. ]
We can always try again with the suits if any ever show up. [ and then steven can have even more to appreciate. ] But knock yourself out.
[ cue law removing his hat for luca and holding it to his side. his he doesn't have hat hair but his hair isn't exactly neat either. messy hair. ]
We should. You're handsome enough already, but I think a suit would really make you pop.
[He'll respect Steven and Law's relationship and not try anything, but he still has eyes. And we're going to say there is a comb around so Luca can pick that up. He is tsking at the state of Law's hair though.]
Sit down somewhere, so I can reach. You really need to do more with your hair though, just throwing a hat on is covering up a potential charm point.

Why is it always clowns?!
[I'm so sorry Law, the giant clown has sent him over the edge.]
no subject
[ meanwhile law has no earthly idea who they're referring. there is no actual clown in that entire memory. ]
What clown?
[ to spice things up a bit, he'll just not have gotten the memory at all so guess law is just holding onto luca as he's shouting about clowns...?? ]
no subject
[Luca that sounds like Douman.]
no subject
[ ??? ??? should law go find him? he's not really into that but hey if luca and douman are having a thing, law wants no part of it. ]

Ship? Where are you seeing a ship?
[ law's got the picture of it being about memories but now he's just.... clown? when he did meet a clown??? well there was one clown he met (terrible) but... ]
no subject
[How does he even explain it, gosh.]
I'm so sorry, I think I peered into your personal memories on accident.
no subject
sighs. law will now go through his memory and try to think of a "clown" that was on a ship that fit in the parameters that luca had set up and— ]
They weren't a clown. They were an okama.
[ does. does this help? ]

Eccentrics. They have a certain way that they like to dress themselves and speak; you likely the person you saw was Ivankov.
no subject
Eccentric is certainly one way of describing it...But you were treating their friend, I think.
no subject
Friend?
[ ?? who ??? law doesn't have friends.... though there is someone that people think he's friends with. (haha) ]
Strawhat?

I'm not friends with him.

Did you see a fisherman there as well?
no subject
[He's assuming there was a fisherman, since. Boat.]
no subject
oh no.... ]
They actually live under the ocean. [ give him a moment to consider something. ] Towards on seafloor, I think. They wouldn't look very human.

no subject
That is at least two sizes too big for you, you know. At least pick something that fits you!
no subject
but first?? law's going to turn and make a face at luca for the disgusted noise. ]
Is it really that important if it doesn't fix exactly?
no subject
[He'll take a moment to eyeball Law for a rough size, and then grab a t-shirt that is better fitted to him. He'll also go for some jeans too, a nice straight (ha) cut.]
-try these on.

You got all that from just a look?
no subject
Of course. It's not a tailored fit, but it will do for now. Ready-to-wear clothing can usually get close, if you know what you're looking for.

What are your thoughts of playing some dress up?
