Mm. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't.

You are meant to indulge.

[nodo]

Indulgence is everything around here. Understood.

[ pretty straight-forward. he's fine with that. ]

Well, that answers my main questions; one last question before I go—how long are we looking for in terms of indulging before someone "wins"?

[probe]

[they shrug a little.]

However long it takes. Wouldn't say any one person is going to win, necessarily.

[nodo]

[ squints?? ]

What does that mean exactly?

[probe]

It means that you do not need to be the last man standing.

[nodo]

[ hmm. okay. didn't think that had to be the case but also nice to know.

did not stop him for doing A Thing(???) though. ]

Then there's a threshold—an ambiguous or unknown threshold for us that needs to met, right?

[probe]

Mm. Presumably.

This may change. I am working on outdated knowledge.

[nodo]

How outdated are we talking about?

[ he wants to let you go pride!!! but....he can't leave when you say things like this...... ]

[probe]

[a shrug. sorry they are so unhelpful :(]

[nodo]

[ it's fine. he doesn't resent you pride. ]

Well, I'm sure we'll hear an update sooner or later about any new changes.

[probe]

If something changes, you will likely hear about it immediately.

[at the very least, they can give him that.]

[nodo]

[ he'll give a nod. unlike others(?) law can be patient for information to make itself known. there's nothing to rush as far as he's aware of. ]

I can work with that. Shall I let you go then? I'm sure you'd like me out of your hair.

[probe]

[a pause.]

... Mm. If you want.

[nodo]

[ hmmm. ]

I thought you'd be more eager to see me go.

[probe]

[don't look at them.]

I don't care what you do. Do what you want.

[nodo]

[ I HATE THIS.

THEY CAN'T BOTH BE TSUNDERE?!?!?? but thanks weekly effect— ]

I got time if you want to keep talking about things.

[probe]

[STOP DON'T PERCIEVE THE TSUNDERE

they seem... uncomfortable? or maybe unsure.]

I don't - [they start. stop. then:] I don't have anything to talk about.

[nodo]

[ a tsundere knows their own kind........

hmm. ]

There are basics aren't, right? I can't ask your name and I'm not sure how much you know about me.

[ lightbulb moment. ]

How about you ask me things about myself—get me talking about myself nonstop. That'll fulfill my pride indulgence, won't it?

[probe]

[ oh n ]

... Mm. [they are silent for a good like, fifteen seconds, and then:] Where are you from?

[nodo]

[ and because they're an avatar, they'll get real answers from law instead of him skirting the details. ]

Flevance. It's a country that no longer exists in my world; the world government thought it would be best to eliminate everyone in order to cover-up the fact that they allowed an outbreak of a disease to spiral out of control for their greed. Anyone who tried to escape was killed.

However, when it was still populated it was a country to behold. It'd be hard to compare anything else to it. Everything was a snow, pure white. From the trees to the grass... People who came to visit couldn't believe what they saw and eventually it was known as the "White City".

[ sorry for the downer but that's literally everything that's about his background because he's an one piece, also he says it casually. ]

I'm the sole survivor of my country.

[probe]

[they seem pretty interested, at least.]

... Sounds like a nice place to have lived. [they say, tilting their head.] The district I called home was burnt to the ground. Wasn't as much of a sight as yours, I suppose. But still.

Is that your desire? To bring it back.

[nodo]

Does the place where you lived have a name?

[ burned down... ]

But, no, there's no point in bringing it back. If I brought it back the same thing would happen again—besides, the world doesn't see people from that country as humans anymore.

[ haha. and here comes the truest version of this spoken in a both murderous but even tone. ]

My desire is to kill a man who should have died years ago—to finish what someone who was too kind to do themselves. [ ... ] Though, I thought our desires were things you knew about?

[probe]

They are. I wanted to hear what you'd say.

[they were curious if he was going to try and lie or not.]

It had a name, yes. I don't want you spreading it around, however.

[nodo]

And what would have happened if I lied to you?

[ because he's quite curious about this now. ]

Also you don't have to worry about me spreading it around. I'm not one to gossip about the idle doings of others.

[probe]

Nothing. I'd just have a clearer picture.

[...] The name of the place I called home was Medford.
