[ ...... ]

Do you really think so?

[ THEIR TRACK RECORD? ]

[probe]

I didn't say you'd be able to do it. I said it might inspire you to try to not spend four hours thinking someone was turned into chocolate.

[nodo]

[ i.




look. ]

Was he?

[ the exhaustion in his voice pride. please? law didn't care then and now it's jus a sad and constant reminder of so many different things. ]

[probe]

Really?

[they sound. SO EXASPERATED.]

[nodo]

[ naru voice: it was worth a shot ]

No, not really.

[ he'll dig out the bandages and clips from his pocket, which have been wrapped up neatly for cross contamination reasons and hold it out to pride. ]

I'm sure you can help yourself to supplies whenever but since I have them with me, I figure I could hand them over nevertheless. You may not be able to dress the wound given the crown but you can stop it from getting over the rest of your face.

[probe]

[he pauses for just a moment, and then holds out his clawed hand to take the bandages.]

... Thanks. [he guesses. it's nice or whatever probably.]

[nodo]

Welcome, but I'm also doing my due diligence.

[ what doctor doesn't follow through with an injury? he feels bad that he can't do more but—it's something. though perhaps law's words sound distant to pride given a particular memory that plays out as law tries to cover up his kindness.

:) ]

[probe]

[ah, well. cool, they hate that? they hate this week.

they stagger, just slightly. and then pull their robes close, looking up at law. bright gold eyes stare at him from the dark.]

... What.

[nodo]

[ this week is, in fact, very bad and law would apologize for the memory that they received if he had realized what memory that they got...

but hey! sometimes...it's....like that. however, given how the conversation had been prior to the memory, law is actually more concerned than normal. ]

What is it?

[probe]

Not entirely sure what I just saw.

[they say, roughly.] People refusing to help because of where you were from. I think.

[nodo]

[ oh.

... ]

I mentioned that disease before that caused the destruction of my country, didn't I? Even though I was the sole survivor of it, it didn't mean I wasn't sick myself.

[ he still isn't sure what all pride saw but he can wager that they saw how his skin was white and blotchy. ]

Three years and two months was all the time I had left to live but someone decided to spend the last 6 months of that time trying to find a doctor who would treat me.

[ which did not go well as pride could see..... ]

[probe]

[i keep forgetting i'm allowed to use pronouns anyway he bristles slightly at this.]

They wouldn't treat you because of who you were. [he sounds... agitated.] You obviously lived.

[nodo]

[ he nods slowly.

it has been so long and even though he didn't experience the memory again he remembered the words they called him. a white monster. a sign of death... ]

I eventually gained a power that allowed me to remove the disease from my body. [ he'll smirk. ] I couldn't find a doctor who would treat me so I became one.

[probe]

[he takes that in, and tilts his head.]

Hm. That's one way to do it. [pride respects the hustle.] Your luck evened out.

[nodo]

[ thank you pride. ]

Mostly; I'm here, aren't I? I still need something.

[probe]

And you'll do anything to get it, I assume.

[nodo]

Yes.

[ except apparently sleeping around or kissing anyone other than steven but it's fine. totally fine?? don't look at me mods i don't know what i'm doing. ]

Is there a reason why you keep asking?

[probe]

[he shakes his head.]

Didn't think I asked that often. I just wonder what your limits are.

[nodo]

[ well. asking more than once still feels like a lot... ]

...am I supposed to have a limit?

[probe]

[i'll be honest i have about 42 audience requests and i can't always remember what i've had my npcs ask gomen]

Obviously not.

[he folds his arms.]

[nodo]

[ smooches. no worries!!! i'll always forgive you all as that sounds daunting and horrifying. ]

I know this sounds ridiculous, but is there something else here with us? The noises that happen on Thursday nights have come up a few times in conversation.

[probe]

[uwu]

I've heard the noises mentioned, but I don't know what you're talking about. I've never heard them.

[nodo]

[ ....? ]

Have any of the others heard it?

[probe]

The other Avatars? Not as far as I'm aware.

[nodo]

[ closes eyes.... ]

You know hearing that doesn't exactly put my mind at ease.
