OPEN.
Date & Time: July 4th
Location: around the city!
Characters: babydoll and you!
Summary: baby is feeling cooped up at the apartment and doesn't want to stay still. find her anywhere you want.
Warnings: none!
( option a )
[baby likes to keep her mind off being trapped in the city by doing one of several things, training being one of those things. she's in the building almost every day for more hours than the average person, though it never quite reaches six hours consistently. it's become such a routine for her that it doesn't even look like she's really pushing herself anymore, it's just something to keep her distracted. she can be seen in the gun range, doing gymnastics, practicing hand-to-hand or practicing her swordsmanship. feel free to interrupt her or find her on a break.]
( option b )
[she's out to eat ( which is rare, regular customers are likely to notice ) or picking up groceries. she isn't picky when it comes to food, even when its food in a place that often has stale things. she grabs whatever looks the most fresh ( she stays away from bread ) and does what she can. she prefers tea over coffee, and doesn't like too many sweets. find her sitting alone at a table or on her way home, or picking up the groceries.]
( option c )
[it's late, probably around 9 or 10, and babydoll can't sleep, so she's wandering ( or patrolling, it's hard to tell ) through the city. she's not paying attention to anything particular, she's more lost in her thoughts. she spends an hour or so on the streets before climbing up to the rooftops to survey the city. if someone happens to find her on the rooftops, it'll be harder to pull her from her thoughts than it would be on the streets, because she'll be more alert there.]
( option d )
[feel free to make up a scenario yourself!]

no subject
You should think of something, yourself--or else I'll get bored with myself.
no subject
Then do something about it.
[he can't rely on other people all the time, after all.]
no subject
Haven't you ever heard of 'an easily gained favor'?
no subject
[she takes a few steps closer, a little more curious about law now. maybe it could be an interesting conversation, after all.]
no subject
Yeah, it's self explanatory. The thing is, you don't know what I can do, so dismissing the implication of me being in your debt for however small a favor wouldn't be worthwhile.
[At that, Law finally turned his head to look at Baby Doll, shrugging lazily.]
The only thing you really would need to wonder is 'How faithful is he?'
no subject
[already, she isn't quite sure she wants to know what he wants, exactly. yet, she still finds herself staying where she is, staring at this man who sounds like someone she shouldn't trust.
as long as he didn't try anything, baby is fine.]
no subject
[His stare was pleading in a way--not in the begging sense, but in the sense that it was clear that he wanted something he couldn't easily obtained. Law wanted a world he could participate in turning into raw turmoil and he couldn't find it there.]
But, I doubt you could give me that. I've got to rely on the smaller vices. If anything, I like small surprises--conversations that can catch me off guard.
no subject
she isn't sure if staying and talking with this man is a good idea. if something really sets her off, she will most likely leave.]
What did you do at home?
no subject
I'm a Royal Warlord. Whatever wealth I come across, I give a cut to the government and they allow me leeway to do as I please.
[He finally turned to eye Baby Doll again, shrugging.]
As for what I 'do', I can't exactly say. The freedom in sailing comes without knowing what happens next. Hence why I'm bored in the first place.
no subject
Being in a place like this isn't interesting enough?
no subject
[For him to consider Punk Hazard a vacation home, when it was an artic wasteland adjoined by a constantly erupting volcano, Law had something very much wrong in a few pieces of his brain.]
My preferences? I couldn't exactly say. Whatever interests me will interest me and I don't ever really know what they are until I find them. I'm really beginning to miss the New World.
no subject
[it's a term even she had heard at home, though she doubts that it relates to what law is talking about. babydoll wants to know what he's talking about, what happened in his home, because hearing about different worlds intrigued her. what she had was what she had made herself and that was as real as any pain she could feel.]
no subject
'The New World' is a sea of madness that kills the weak and sends normal men home, broken.
[One could easily see why it was that Law enjoyed venturing through it so much. The move all the way to the end of the Grand Line was one he planned on going through in utter chaos.]
So, you could guess why it is that this boring quiet would get to me.
no subject
'Normal'?
[she shakes her head,]
What really defines that? Are you saying that people who can't fight are abnormal?
no subject
[Leaning forward, Law set his chin against the backs of his knuckles, looking with a bored expression towards the concrete.]
Strength in your conviction to win is the most important. I imagine you're bothered about my perceptions, but--
[A lesson he learned from Joker and Vergo, unfortunately--something beaten into his skull, literally and figuratively.]
It's the most important thing, I've found. Whether you want to kill someone or protect someone or just be free, strength is absolutely necessary. The one standing on top is going to be the strongest and that's what I consider 'normal'. People who don't want to make that kind of investment are irregular where I come from.
