So... I've been thinking about that trip to Rumpa-whatever, and, uh...

[ the view of wow! nothing pans over to Law's perplexed face for a moment. ]

Don't you guys think it would be kinda messed up if those snake people looked like this instead?

[ the view pans down to a drawing (it's sfw, not safe for brain cell retention tho). it stays there, lingering on this impressively stupid illustration for a few unfortunate seconds. then it's back to Law's face. he rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, implying he has some self-awareness of how #showerthoughts this is (which may or may not be accurate). ]

I dunno, yeah. It's been bugging me for awhile. Just thought I'd put that out there.

_{[ Law didn't he raise you better than this— except no, no, he knows exactly where he's getting this from and it sure as hell isn't his mother. ]}

I think if they looked like that you really would have to be worried about them eating us.

_{[ Or him, specifically. L o o k, he saw the way that particular snake was looking at him!! The Renans may have knocked him upside the head but they didn't dislodge every braincell like they were hoping! ]}

[counterattack]

[ this is exactly how he was raised, mr. SANDINUS DEATH WORM ]

Right?! It's freaking me out! I know nothing happened, but I just keep thinking about, like... what if.

[crimsoncrow]

You know it wouldn't have been the first time a lady tried to eat me, right? Granted this one had less teeth, more scales, and more limbs than that particular incident.

_{[ fuckin zeugles, man. ]}

Though if they tried looking like that I suppose it'd be easy enough to trip 'em and run.

[counterattack]

Do you really have to phrase it like that?

[ kill him ]

No, cause then they could just—put their legs up in the air and slither after you on the top half!! Or do some weird crawling thing! Aughhh, I hate it! That's the worst mental image ever!

[crimsoncrow]

I can't go and call her a monster when comparing the situations, can I? She was... friendly.

_{[ do it yourself, coward. ]}

How long have you been thinking about it?

[counterattack]

"Friendly"? Come on, dad...

[ literally just makes a nonverbal noise of Disgust. ]

Pretty much since we first got there. They didn't turn out to be bad—uh, people or anything, but I still couldn't help thinking it.

[crimsoncrow]

What? All I said was that she was friendly. Nothin' wrong with that.

_{[ WELL YOU KNOW, after she got done circling him like a piece of meat :( he's still alive so that's got to be a plus, right? ]}

It's good to be cautious, but you've got to keep an open mind too. Just try not to let your worries color your view on them until they do something worth being suspicious about, alright?

[counterattack]

Yeah, sure. And what about you? Were you "friendly"?

[ (deadeyes) ]

I'm suspicious of pretty much everybody, but that's not really the thing here. I mean, even if they were backwards snake people, it wouldn't mean they're bad or anything. Just... really, really weird.

[crimsoncrow]

Why wouldn't I be? I was friendly to the others she introduced me to, too.

_{[ son :( ]}

You know we're probably pretty weird from their point of view too, kiddo. After spending the time we did with 'em though, I'll... admit I'm curious about a few things myself. I'm just not sure if they'd take offense to any of it or not.

[counterattack]

Oh, geez.

[ this is going places. he makes another nyaagh sound of dismay. ]

What kinda things? I talked to some of them while I was there, but we were mostly just confusing each other, I think.
