016 [Action - forward dated to Saturday morning]

[deathsdoctor]

Sumire, quit it…

[Ah, the trials of pet ownership. Especially pet ownership on a Saturday morning when all you want to do is sleep in and the cat? The cat won’t quit until she gets a little love and attention.

Even if it means she has to use such underhanded tactics as kneading a guy in the breasts with her claws out.




…

… breasts!?]

HNN!

[Yeah, he – wait, no, she, has nothing more to say about that. Female. Woman. Right. Like he… argh… SHE had a run in with Emporio Ivankov, and this is just a Devil Fruit effect. Rolling out of bed now. Staring in the mirror.]




[Okay. One thing more.]

… hnnn… great. I need coffee.

[And a bra. Or better yet, bindings. Icons really don’t do justice to how bosomy Law is for such a slender frame. OP woman you know.

Or she can just let it all hang free.

… so tempting right now…

But coffee first. PRIORITIES.]

[You can catch the lady in question stalking into town not too long after. You see… the clothing problem hasn’t stopped at bras and other lacy unmentionable related troubles. Comes with the territory of being a slender but muscular guy and suddenly finding yourself in possession of some damn hips – we don’t lie – but as tempting as just saying fuck it all and going stark naked, Law rather likes her dignity.

After that, it’s the flower shop for some seeds for herbs. Lunch is next… maybe she’ll even poke up to Cloud Nine out of curiosity, and then it’s time for some hardcore training just so she can get used to this body. Her center of gravity is so off right now.

After that… who knows? Lady Law here will be all over the place. Catch her wherever.]

No kidding. The variety here is just astonishing. Back home it was a real chore sometimes to get good produce.

[fierybluebird]

I hear that. It's practically the main reason we held Foodvalten.

[This would be a mark of how much Marco trusts Law and/or the fact that nothing he says in Luceti can carry weight back home; except that Marco's already gotten reports about Brownbeard's attack on it. "Held" is very past tense.]

Nami's more genius than she lets on, keeping mikan trees on their ship, eh?

[deathsdoctorine]

[... she knows. And she bows her head for a moment.]

Yes. Not only in having them but keeping the trees alive. With all the climatic changes they go through, keeping things growing is nothing short of a miracle.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Good thing she's got a good beat on it.

I don't suppose you know of any flowers that go well with mikan? I'm told various vegetables and plants support each other, but I haven't checked the library yet.

[deathsdoctorine]

... what about lavender?

[fierybluebird]

Yeah? Seems like a good color too. [Sort of flits about until he finds seeds and holds up a packet to Law for assessment.] Aye?

[deathsdoctorine]

Aye.

[She smiles and takes a packet of lavender seeds for herself.]

[fierybluebird]

So what is lavender good for, besides looking pretty?

[deathsdoctorine]

Plenty of things.

For cooking, it can be used as a herb to flavor dishes, the flowers can be candied, you can make syrup and tea from the flowers. Medicinally, lavender teas and oils are used as sleep aids, and it's a major component in herbal brews used to soothe insect bites, burns, headaches, and acne. The oil can also be made into an antiseptic... and used in anti-inflammatory remedies. Lavender tends to attract bees, and ward away other insects, like mosquitoes, so it's useful to have in an orchard.

It's also nice to scent baths and be dried into making potpourri.

[fierybluebird]

You know after Pops you may just be the smartest person I know.

Maybe I'll grab some extra if I can just figure out where to plant them.

[deathsdoctorine]

Thank you.

Why not make a rooftop garden, like Itachi did then? Or just even have some pots up there.

[fierybluebird]

That could work. Although they're not exactly white to go with my father's memorial, eh?

[deathsdoctorine]

Aa, but Mister Marco... [Long delicate seeming fingers pluck out another packet of seeds] there's such a thing as white lavender as well.

[fierybluebird]

Perfect! You're a lifesaver Law.

[deathsdoctorine]

No problem.

[fierybluebird]

So how is your roommate taking all this. [Sly grin. He's the worst. The very worst.]

[deathsdoctorine]

[So awful.]

She is unimpressed with all this so far. Especially with the pervert this morning.

[fierybluebird]

Whoa, he got changed too, huh?

How bloody is the pervert now?

[deathsdoctorine]

... I wouldn't say the pervert in question was bloodied. Now mentally scarred on the other hand...

[fierybluebird]

[Smirks.]

Oh this I have to hear details about.

1/2

[deathsdoctorine]

Well, he was teleported into my bed while I was inspecting the damage in the mirror. Which yes, meant I was naked at the time. He immediately began to ruminate on the highlights on my body and how I stacked up to other women in Luceti.

As things would have it, his thoughts were appearing in bubbles above his head, so I got treated to a rather visual display of what was going in there. Apparently I'm stacked quite well, if you get my drift.

Done

[deathsdoctorine]

...

... so I decided to have some fun with him.

[fierybluebird]

Wow.

Oh? [Grin widens.] What'd you do?

[deathsdoctorine]

He kinda recognized me so I let him guess at my identity a bit.

Finally he realized I am, in fact, a man. And he had been lusting after a man. The Horror. [Amused sarcasm] Honestly, the way he reacted to the revelation was as if I had been swinging around on a stripper pole and then strutted up to give him a lap dance before that little bombshell hit home.

So he frantically began to deny everything, not aware his thoughts were showing. So I went about... [Sultry stretch.] reminding him of what really had transpired.
