014 [Action/possibly voice]

[ Not too long before the draftees are returned to Luceti, all snug and cosily tucked in their beds (or in random and embarrassing drop-off points in the enclosure – whatever works), a figure cloaked and hooded in black staggers into the village. Weaving like he’s dead drunk – reality? Dead tired – he occasionally trips and catches himself…

… and then…

… and then just faceplants in a snow drift when it becomes one trip too many. He’s just going to just stay there for a moment. He feels like shit.]


Ughhhhh.

[Yeah. That’s enough of that. Picking himself up and dusting himself off, the figure reveals himself to be Trafalgar Law, freshly returned from one month full of missions.

Armed to the teeth. Worn to the bone and bleary eyed. And apparently lei’d.

… no, you aren’t imagining things - there is a tacky plastic floral garland hanging around his neck. Like you’d get on some cheap tropical vacation.

Don’t you dare suggest he’s been on one, folks.

And when he looks around, finally registering the Christmas lights and the general emptiness of the village, he mutters…]


Oi… what I’d miss?

[Go ahead. Spoil his triumphant tired return and tell him about all the draftees about to drop in. The draftees that possibly and quite probably need medical attention.

It isn’t like he desperately wants to find a bed and get some sleep. And it isn’t like he desperately needs that sleep either.

Not at all.]

Oh, you met here? How long have you been living together?

[... He does not mean that in any way as it sounds.]

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, he doesn't live here anymore. But he's free to have my room for the time being.

[Just because he hadn't said anything before didn't mean he was going to lie.]
fierybluebird: (uncertain)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-12-23 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wait... what? Ahhh sorry. I guess he was too tired to say anything about it. [Rubs the back of his neck.] I was going to get him coffee.. are you sure it's okay if he stays?

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a problem. There's more than enough room for both of us, and he doesn't need to be moved again.

[Calmly, he pulls out a chair and takes a seat at the table.]

You're both free to help yourself to whatever you want. It's all vegetarian except what fish I keep for the cat.
fierybluebird: (fond grin)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-12-23 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
All right, thanks. [Grins.] That's about what I eat anyway, and I'm guess the doctor's pretty particular about what he puts into his body.

[Glances at the coffee pot and grabs a seat however. Law can wait anyway, since Marco told him to sleep.] How'd you meet anyway? [Unspoken: How well do you know Law? Marco is nosy. Also because he secretly wants to steal Law into his crew. Shh. Don't tell.]

It was by chance. A casual run-in.

[As so many things happened here.]

And we ended up in the same building through unplanned circumstances.
fierybluebird: (Something on your mind?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-12-24 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. When did he move?

[He somehow has even more questions on his mind, but he's trying not to be too nosy.]

Some while ago. Into a house.

[The exact date and reasons aren't important.]
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-12-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh I see.

Think you can keep an eye on him for me? The draftees are back, but he's not going to be much help if he runs himself ragged, eh?

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I had planned to.

[He nods.]

It's good to meet another friend of his.
fierybluebird: (fond grin)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-12-29 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
Likewise. [Offers a handshake.]

I'm Marco, by the way.

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[The handshake is easily accepted.]

Itachi.
fierybluebird: (thinking)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-12-30 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Got anyone you're looking for returning from the draft?

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

There are few I keep in contact with regularly, and even fewer I actually worry for.
fierybluebird: (hm?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-01-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Is Law one of them?

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2012-01-11 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Matter of fact:] He is.
fierybluebird: (cool breeze)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-01-11 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Grins.] I'm glad he has such a person looking after him then.

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2012-01-11 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's rare that he would need me to.
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-01-11 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's why it's even more important that he would have someone when he does.

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2012-01-11 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmn.

[This isn't anything Itachi doesn't already know.

He tilts his head toward the pirate.]


Are you not someone like that?
fierybluebird: (thinking)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-01-12 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinks this over and shakes his head.]

I'm just a casual observer in seeing the new class of rookies. I'm not exactly in a position back home to be offering my friendship to any of them.

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
You're from the same world, correct?

[identity profile] yourhatred.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're more acquaintances than anything.
