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".

I'm the sole survivor of my country.

... 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.
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?
[ how much is he allowed to perceive.... well, he won't push his luck just yet. it's supposed to be all about him for the moment. ]
I've never heard of a place by that name but obviously we're from different worlds. Do you have another question for me? I've been plenty of places as a pirate.
[ he'll raise a hand in the air. wowie look at him with manners, amazing.
though the funny part of all of this is that law is actually miserable about monologuing. he doesn't actually like talking about himself or—hm. ]
As a pirate you get to go wherever you want; do what you want without worrying what someone might do to try to hold you back. It's liberating and something that nearly everyone in world wants to do. Find the "One Piece"—something that no one really knows if it exists or not.
I'm interested in it, but there are things that are more interesting to me than treasure. I want to know more about the secrets that surround certain bloodlines. [ ... ] Whether I do win the wish or not, I'm not going to give up on what I desired. I'm going to make sure that man dies even if it costs me my life. So, if I return empty-handed then I haven't lost anything.
When I contact you again, I'd want to ask about that; for now—
The particular bloodline that I'm interested in is mine, obviously. [ ""obviously"". look he knows it isn't obvious but. you know. talking about himself. ] Trafalgar D. Water Law is my full name and there's something special about those who have the initial "D" in their name. Someone once told me that it represents god's natural enemy but I've also heard that there's an inherited will for all those who have it.
During my search, I haven't learned anything new about it and it sounds like most people don't even know. The people who do know about its importance so far have been people who wish to kill those who bear it. I've recently allied myself with someone else who bears the initial "D" in their name and...
[ and now law starts to sound a bit...exhausted. okay, not even "a bit" but actually physically coming off as being Tired. ]
I thought he wouldn't be a bad person to work with but he never listens to what I say and just goes on his own way. It's like I say one thing and he decides to do the exact opposite of it.
[ he'll just let out a huge sigh. ]
How hard is it to stay quiet or mind your own business?
[ there are definitely better ways to say it BUT it's fine because he'll look almost relieved that he can stop talking about himself. he has blurted out so much... ]

Is that your desire? To bring it back.

[ 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.

[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.
no subject
[ 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.

[...] The name of the place I called home was Medford.
no subject
Medford, is it? Okay.

Bloodlines... [they repeat, quietly.] Hm.

Incredibly so. [...] I think you've talked about yourself enough.
