[Idk where they are so I'm just going to say they're in the sitting area of the residence building? I wonder if the TV there is still broken? Anyway. Fukuda still doesn't have his left hand but it's fine.]
Um... I guess basically I wanted to ask you both if you could stop killing Mr Vlad?
[ closes eyes at the hand and the request that fukuda is making. since its emotion share week, both of them can just feel the exasperation that's almost instantaneous thanks to the mention of vlad the flamethrower. ]
And I only gave him what he deserved for killing Steven.
[ You know what, nevermind. He just shakes his head. Yeah, you can feel a lowkey spiteful rue welling in your guts too because Steven is still bitter about it. ]
Last Monday, Vlad showed up out of nowhere and literally set Law on fire with a flamethrower. He incinerated him alive.
[ confusion, bitterness, and exasperation. what a wonderful collection of feelings here. though law isn't going to focus on the bitterness so much right now. ]
And from what I could gather, it was a boon he had gotten while he was still alive. I got something similar but I didn't ask for a flamethrower.
[ he got a snail...who just vibes in luxury now. ]
[Why did Law get a denden mushi what is he even going to DO with it here?? Fukuda seems disappointed (at Vlad) but not surprised. Mostly tired.]
When I asked him why you'd done it he didn't say anything about that. [SIGHS.]
Still. I'd like it if all three of you could just promise to stop. It took me a long time to get Mr Vlad out of the pool and I don't want to have to do it again.
[ words spoken with a simple sharpness to them. he doesn't share steven's disdain for fukuda but he does have a bubbling agitation growing within him. like honestly, they??? were getting this bullshit of a "talk"? hello??? ]
Why are you bothering either of us with this? If there's anyone who you should be telling to stop, it would be him.
[There's a feedback loop from Fukuda at Steven's dissapointment, it makes Fukuda sad. Sadder than usual. He's always a little sad, it's like background noise from him.]
He asked for my help. And I don't want to turn away from someone asking for help. [A low ebb of empathy. Sometimes you don't have anyone you can ask for help and you drill a hole in your head.]
And I did talk to him. He said he'd stop if you two would. That's why I'm asking you now.
[ law's frustrations exist outside of fukuda's sadness and steven's disappointment. he feels them but ignores them. though that temper subsides a only a moment when steven looks at him for his opinion on the matter, which is honestly very clear to him. ]
I have no interest feeding into this feedback loop of abuse, but I'm even less interested in how this is going to be pinned on us.
[ because this is a load of bullshit. hello?? does anyone even want to stop and think of the reasoning here?? cue law sliding back to the realm of irritation. he's frankly insulted. ]
The onus is on him right now. I did my part; he did his, and now Steven completed one cycle. If he wants to stop then he'll leave it.
Well, I'm not much help to most people. [So CAN he really afford to be picky??]
But I will talk to him again. I didn't have a proper understanding of the situation because he didn't tell me the full truth. [A rare emotion for Fukuda: he is a little annoyed.]
[ Hm. Steven feels a little less disappointed as he feels the subtle annoyance. He didn't think Fukuda had it in him, so that's nice. ]
We'd appreciate that. I don't have any intentions to continue to fight him -- in fact, I'd been making active efforts to make relative peace with him, up until he came up to and torched Law.
If he's swearing to not take another shot of revenge, then I'm willing to ignore his presence, or maybe even be civil again.
[ law skirts the self-depreciating comment and annoyance and just tempers himself in general. ]
I'll stand with what Steven said with a caveat that if he does go after Steven again I'll make sure that we come up with a way that he'll regret being given the boon of not being able to "die" again.
[ yes, yes, we know who the real murderous person is in the room is, but law can put himself into that role for the moment. but anyway, this is not a threat but a fuckin promise. ]
[Why is the serial killer the person here with the least amount of murderous intent.]
That's fine, I suppose. I think having to die over and over again by drowning is probably pretty much that already, but that's not one of the ways I died in a well so I don't really know. [In any case.]
I just think we'd be better off as a group if everyone could at least sort of get along? Since we don't know how long we're going to be here.
[ the fact that law would and he present for it's implementation is also a thing. anyway given where this conversation is going, law is nearly going to walk himself away from him, but will have a hand on steven's shoulder as he turns from fukuda. ]
I haven't tried, but I haven't been actively seeking to interact with him since I took off his head. [ and extra. ] So, you can tell him that as long as he keeps it that way then we'll have nothing to worry about.
[ law almost says one more thing but then drops that. they're just asking for the bare minimum here. ]

[Fukuda is genuinely confused. He's gonna get to negotiation in a second, but;]
When was there a flamethrower?

All of this started because of him.

You really could afford to be pickier with the kind of people you choose to help.
But if Vlad won't be harming either of us, then I won't. It'll be as simple as that.
[ He looks over at Law. You? ]

Again, Fukuda.
I said I tried. I didn't hold the fact that he literally murdered me with a shovel overlong and tried to be civil until he came after Law.
Just don't come after either of us, and I won't touch a gray hair on his head. How about that for a statement from me.
