[There's noise the minute the feed starts, but it's not coming from the sullen man sitting front and center, rather from the out of focus commotion behind him. There's a lot of people talking at once, but a certain straw-hatted pirate can be heard over all the others,
"Hwah! There's so much meat!!"
"Luffy, don't eat it all by yourself!"

The look on Law's face suggests that he is annoyed yet tiredly resigned to the level of ambient noise around him. More importantly, his face is clearly visible since his hat is noteably absent.]

If anyone happens to see my hat around, please return it to me. It-
["Nami-swaaaaaan! You can sleep in my bed toni-" cut short by the distinct sound of someone being smacked in the face.]
... I'll attach a picture. Let me know if you've seen it.

[He ends the feed with a sigh. Attached is a picture of the desert with Law's signature furry white hat rolling by like a tumbleweed.

(OOC: Feel free to assume a sighting of Law's hat, the more people who have seen it but not grabbed it, the funnier.)]

Oh, Law—! [ she looks at once apologetic and amused. ] So that was your hat after all...!

[kikoku]

[What is it with you pink haired people and failing him like this.... Are you sure you're not related to Coby, Olivia?]

... Most likely. [Rests his head on an upturned palm, tiredly. People are still being loud in the background.]

Where and when did you see it?

That hat looks an awful lot like what a guy who walked into Corbucci's this morning was wearing.

[kikoku]

You saw someone else wearing it?
[Annoyance visibly escalating on his face]

Was it-
["OI, TORAO, COME EAT SOMETHING!"

And he just.... switches from video to text.]

Was it a native or another Audentes member?

[soru]

You still haven't caught it. I see.

[kikoku]

No thanks to you.

[A pause. Well.]
I suppose at least your picture might prove useful.

[ryusoken]

Now.. are you sure you don't want to borrow my hat? Or my goggles?

[kikoku]

Absolutely not.
[Get your steampunk shit out of here.]

I've already gotten a temporary replacement.

[Attached is a picture of said hat perched on a cactus arm.]

I can't promise it's still there.

[kikoku]

[That's basically just an actual picture of Law, amazing.]

given what I've been hearing I'd suspect not.
What possessed you to take the picture?

[fintastic]

Oh. Is this it?

[ Attached is a picture of the hat on a mechanical horse's head. It doesn't look impressed(?). ]

It's a very nice hat!

[kikoku]

[It's a stupid hat, it's right to be unimpressed.]

Yes. I don't suppose this was a picture you just took?
[That would obviously be too convenient.]

action because fucking fight me

[nishishi]

[There's suddenly an arm looping around Law's neck, pulling him back a bit with a loud and boistrous laugh.]

Who're you talking to, Torao? Come on, you gotta' get something to eat before it's all gone.

[And whose fault is that going to be?]

I literally said you guys could do action you scrub???

[kikoku]

[GOD. He makes an irritated noise but to Luffy's credit Law doesn't actually push him off.]

Everyone, I made a post askign about my hat.
[He thought maybe making it video/audio would cue everyone to leave him be but of course Luffy isn't that kind of observant.]

I'm not hungry.
[Not entirely true, but mostly he wants to stay in his corner and sulk. Going to get food is the opposite of that.]

[fateality]

Reckon I saw a kid run off with it last.

[kikoku]

One of the natives, you mean?
[Trying to piece together the various sightings he's gotten so far.]

I don't understand why it has been covering so much ground.

[Video | un: tsukuyo]

[sekimorinashi]

Ah--

I think I overheard someone talking with a store clerk over a hat like that. Clerk kept sayin' they weren't sellin' it.

[kikoku]

What store?
[More importantly, why were they not selling it. Was this before or after the other natives had been spotted with the hat. Why any of this.]

Another of Captain Luffy's crew? I'm honored!

But as for your hat... I didn't realize anyone owned something like that ...

voice

[kikoku]

[Genji, no. It's a shame the voice feed doesn't show the immense irritation on Law's face, but most of it comes through pretty clearly in his voice.]

I'm not part of his crew. His crew has an alliance with mine.
[Apparently this distinction is incredibly important. It's not even about being a captain in his own right, it's about the association.]

[hardnosed]

What purpose does it serve? This "hat" of yours.

[ She's not stupid, okay! But she's seen some things with that hat... she's seen some things. ]

it's a weird fucking hat I assumed that's why she asked

[kikoku]

What- It's a hat. Do they not have hats where you come from?

[Which is Orange Gorilla Land, presumbly.]

video; un: coolskeleton95

[boneafide]

I've seen that hat!

[kikoku]

Where, Papyrus?
[The skeleton is a little doofy in Law's experience. But who knows.... maybe he'll be helpful.]

[perma_banned]

[Ban had an idea.

As usual, it was a shitty idea.]

What, that dumb cow hat?

[kikoku]

[What idea could this possibly be the start of]

It's not a cow hat and it's not dumb.
