011 [Action/Voice]

[There’s such a depressed pall hanging over Luceti recently. Coming and goings from the village are common, but the disappearances have really taken their toll recently. So many in such a short period of time – mainstays and pillars of the community – just gone and the wave of them does not feel like it has subsided quite yet.

It sucks whatever joy there is to be had from a birthday. And Luceti? Today is one for Trafalgar Law.

He barely remembered. Not that he expects anyone else will. He’s told few and those few are all dealing with their own losses as he’s dealing with his. And with McCoy now gone, there isn’t much time to dwell on anything much as he takes over the other doctor’s share of shifts and sorts through whatever he left and was working on at the Battle Dome clinic.

Maybe it’s for the best no one will probably remember. He is in no mood for a party. But Law takes the day for himself anyway.

You can catch him in the morning around town fetching various things (namely booze), and from eleven thirty onwards into the afternoon at the docks, tending to the Shinonome so she’s ready to sail.

And before the afternoon is done, one 100% filtered message goes out over the journal to Uchiha Itachi:]

Care to join me down at the docks? Dress warmly and you might want to set out Amaya’s dinner for the night… and the next morning. There’s a nice wind tonight for a trip.

[He promised you a sail, remember?]

Oh, and Itachi? Would you bring along a bottle or two of your favorite drink? I figure it’s a night for it.

[Itachi hasn't forgotten.]

Pleasant timing for this, isn't it?

[Or perhaps not so much so, depending on one's viewpoint.]

I assume you want me there within the hour.

Nice night like this, I'd say so.

[In reality, aside from it being his birthday, the weather's good for this. No very slight chance of seasick ninja.]

Or so... there's no big hurry. [Gives him time to get the ingredients for dinner prepped.]

It wouldn't be a hurry in that timeframe.

[He'll have time to run to the store himself.]

I will see you shortly.

Till then, Itachi.

[And once you arrive, you'll be greeted by one lazing Supernova, sprawled back against the mast on this fine afternoon, watching clouds and the seabirds playing in the sky.

And then he pulls himself up and waves. S'up.]

Oi. [TEASING. GRINGRINGRIN.] You made it. I thought I would have to come looking.

Edited 2011-10-08 01:33 (UTC)

I apologize for making you wait. I wouldn't want to make you go out of your way to find me.

[He holds up a bottle of sake, still warm.]

I simply brought what you asked.

[Chuckling. He's sure you can tell, but he'll say it anyway.] Teas~ing, Itachi.

[Studying the bottle and the label.] Oh, that's nice stuff. You have good taste.

You did say to bring my favorite.

[He assumes he's allowed aboard, and begins cautiously making his way onto the boat.

Thankfully, he also has some affinity for the water element.]

[And now he knows what said favorite is for future reference.] That I did.

[It should be no terrible trouble to get aboard. The Shinonome is moored close to the rocky pier that serves as a dock. While there's no boarding plank, the boat is bobbing close and gently enough to the rock, where one, with a little care, can simply clamber on.

The deck is warm and dry underfoot, drenched in the low rays of the late sun. Comfy and cozy, though the breeze has a nip. Hope you dressed well for this, Itachi.]

I'll show you around before we set out. There's a few things I should point out.

[Like the boom. Ah yes, sudden bane of sailors everywhere, the boom.]

[There's little need for a dock when one can walk across water. Given that the distance isn't far, Itachi opts for this method for the sake of ease, stepping lightly onto the vessel.]

It's a very pleasant looking craft.

[He's just going to staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare as you do that.

Okay. That's new. That's absolutely awesome. ~~He's secretly a little envious because of you-know-what~~.

That's... well... okay man, how are you doing it?]

[And once you step onto the boat...]

Thanks. The people who built her did a fine job. She's a pilot cutter.

Her name is the Shinonome.

[Yes, there is significance to the name.]

[The wonders of chakra. He'd teach you if he believed it possible.]

Nothing like the boat you're used to, I'm sure, but nice in its own way.

What made you pick that name?

[He'd very willingly learn if it was possible.]

Oh no. I command a submarine back home. This is as far as you can get from one.

Shinonome? [Daybreak?] Well... it's been a year pretty much for me, and well. I don't know when I'll be able to go back. Maybe tomorrow... maybe several lifetimes from now. I'll never stop looking for a way or an opportunity to escape, but in the meantime, I'm going to build a life. Guess the name just reflects my realization on the matter.

[And it's a nod to a friend.

You.

You gave him the idea, you know.

But he'll never say.]

[He'd had a feeling it was something like that, but he hadn't wanted to make any assumptions.

He has no clue about the unmentioned.]

It's very fitting, in that case.

[Good.

He smiles in response.]

Well, I should point out a few tricks she might pull before we get underway. [He pats the boom.] In particular, you want to never ignore what this is doing while you're on deck.

[Or it will knock you overboard in a heartbeat.]
