VIDEO -> TEXT. UN: DAGNY.

[ Dagny's face appears on the network. Behind her are snowy plains, where small gnomes are jumping and playing. Her face is flushed from the cold, but she smiles. ]

Hello! I hope you're all doing well! The Timeline has finally computed your mission objective — sorry it took so long! Sometimes he gets a little slow. Now, I know he may seem— different, but he's always been correct! Just... ah, be careful when talking to him? He's a learning machine, and all he really knows is about missions, so sometimes he says some strange things when he goes off topic. But don't worry! He tries his best. I'll connect you to him now.

TIMELINE.EXE IS PROGRAMMED TO RELEASE MISSION PARAMETERS. MISSION OBSERVATION IS COMPLETE AND RESULTS FOR MISSION: Nalawi ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Hello World ( ゚▽゚)/ Take the hassle and confusion out of the
Mission,
Try this One Weird Trick!

To help NALAWI, you will need to DEFEAT the GODDESS NALANNI so the energy can return to the world.* In doing so, the people of NALAWI will LOSE THEIR POWERS but the world will continue on. If this objective is not reached, NALAWI will BURN OUT PREMATURELY.

*NOTE FROM TIMELINE.EXE: Giant squid of the Sea, too
2 or 0 Not 1! Thank you

No, I agree.
[So.... stop making that kind of face at him.]

I'm just saying, whatever solution we arrive at, it likely won't be easy one way or another. But just because this is the first one presented to us, doesn't make it the right one.

[ she wants to ask him, if he thinks she's being stupid. selfish, even, for wishing to seek an alternative. she doesn't know law all that well, certainly not as much as she would like, but even from their few moments of interaction, she feels she can trust his judgment. that a man that dedicates himself to healing and helping cannot be a man who would be wrong on a topic like this.

but she holds her tongue, fearing she might have already spoken too much on this situation as it is.

instead, she quietly says, ]
Thank you. [ even if she doesn't really feel like there's much to be thankful for in this moment. ]
kikoku: (I have some regrets)

[personal profile] kikoku 2016-05-18 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, that's not gonna fly here.]

For what? I haven't done anything to merit you thanking me.
[He's not going to force her to actually speak her mind but.... don't waste his time with meaningless platitudes.]

No one's going to make you participate in whatever course of action we decide to take.

[ she frowns at him, suddenly reminded what she is thankful for. ]

No one made you respond to me, either, [ she reminds him. that's what he's done. ]

[Honestly, Law actually understands the meaning of that, as much as he hadn't thought about it when he did initiate the conversation. If Rosinante hadn't risked his cover to talk to Law when he was young.... who knows where he'd be now.]

I suppose so. But you're... [his assistant? student? friend?]

A familiar face, at this point. [Yes, perfect, no clear declaration of attachment.] So I don't mind.

[ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ friend ✧・゚:*

she smiles softly, patiently. ]


So a simple thank you from a familiar face shouldn't be too big of a deal, right?

[Law lets out an annoyed sort of huff, but his expression isn't entirely unpleasant.]

I suppose, if you're so insistent upon it. I don't mind listening if you every have anything to say.

[ oh law... that's so sweet.... and kind............

is she tearing up?! ]


Oh... Thank you...
kikoku: (I have some regrets)

[personal profile] kikoku 2016-06-01 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my god please cease, Law doesn't know how to deal with this.]

O-oi, what's that reaction for? [STOP LEAKING??]
winces: (( seventy-two ))

[personal profile] winces 2016-06-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh-What's wrong with it? Can't I be happy?!
kikoku: (uH)

[Frowning further.]

It's excessive. I didn't say anything worth crying over.
winces: (( thirty ))

[personal profile] winces 2016-06-07 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course you did — you were being very sweet and thoughtful!

[ though she isn't going to argue the "excessive" part... olivia is 24/7 excessive, ok. ]
kikoku: (broods 12 times a day)

[personal profile] kikoku 2016-06-07 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No.
[Just this.... irritated expression before he looks away.]

Listening to people isn't hard. I'm not promising advice or sympathy. Because I'm not offering it.

[ when she speaks again, her tone is quieter. perhaps a bit more bashful than embarrassed. ]

...don't underestimate how much just listening can mean. [ she smiles faintly, but it is a small, sad thing. ] Especially for people who don't often think they're saying anything that's worth it.

[Well Olivia does seem to be that sort of person. He supposes he cans see where she's coming from.]

Aah. I'll keep that in mind. You're right.
winces: (( eleven ))

[personal profile] winces 2016-06-11 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hearing his acquiescence, she chances a small, tentatively hopeful smile at him. ]

Will you accept my thanks, then?
kikoku: (listen up fuckwads)

[personal profile] kikoku 2016-06-11 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I don't have much of a choice, do I?
[Seeing as you're so insistent upon it.]
winces: (( thirty-four ))

[personal profile] winces 2016-06-11 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Most people just say "you're welcome" in return.

[ eheh. ]
kikoku: (I have some regrets)

[personal profile] kikoku 2016-06-11 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Most people do that, yes.

What Law does, however, is just sort of grimace and CUT THE VIDEO FEED LIKE A JERK.]
