new_world_dr | [VIDEO] And he has absolutely no idea.

[This absolutely isn't the island he was heading for. And, what's worse, his crew, the Heart Pirates, don't seem to be here.] [This is some kind of a nightmare, isn't it?] [Probably not. For a nightmare, it's not nightmarish enough, and much too dull.] [After familiarising himself with this strange new kind of Snail here, he quickly decides to use it to transmit.]

Alright, who's responsible for this? Show yourself, let's get it over with. I'd find you, but I'm in a hurry now.

[Oh, this could be awkward if he doesn't figure out how to proceed. His situation, his circumstances, even his looks are different than the other Rosinante he met here. And his muteness makes it more difficult, he'll have to go with text for any sort of real communication...

To top the whole situation off, he just has a sinking feeling that this isn't his Law, the one from his world. In fact, he's almost entirely certain. Still, he's happy despite that. Incredibly happy to see him, to see that another world's Law made it. That the sacrifices that were made by a counterpart of his didn't go to waste.

There's a video clip sent for Rosinante waving. That's a good start. But it's short, and followed by a text.]

It's more complicated than that. So far, we haven't figured out who's responsible.

[This--- what--- how--- no, this must be a trick---]

[And so, he sends a text, because transmitting anything else would only reveal how badly this trick's shaken him.]

Anybody can obtain such a video. Do you take me for a fool? I won't fall for this. Why would I? I can see that you know who I am. That just means I need to find out who you are. That's all.

[Oh, well, this is bad. He hates upsetting him, and Rosinante really wishes his counterpart was here right now. He'd know how to deal with this Law, this one has to be from his world. Nothing in his personal repertoire has really prepared him for an adult Law that didn't grow up with him, that didn't live with him in that palace. A Law that had to suffer, in ways that his Law never did.

He sighs, and sends another text.]

You're too smart for that, I'm the last person who'd take you for a fool. I don't mind video chat, if it helps you believe that I'm who my contact information says I am. But I'm unable to speak. So I'll be sending text responses as well.

[For a moment - a long moment - there's no answer. Then, finally, there's one Trafalgar Law. He opens his mouth to say something, then closes it, and for yet another moment, he's silent. Finally, he speaks clipped:]

Fine. Go on. Name?

[Rosinante sends a video, to show that he's actually there, and not just a repeated clip of some version of himself. It's odd, talking to a Law that isn't his own. This feels foreign in a way that he can't really comprehend. Distressing perhaps too.]

Donquixote Rosinante. [His titles are left off, there's no point in bringing it up now.] I want to help you understand what's going on. This place is confusing. I'm not surprised that you're suspicious.

[He tells himself not to be a fool. That a person could obtain multiple recordings of Cora-san is possible. That Cora-san is alive is--- not---possible. He knows this, he knows this, he knows this, he's not a child, so, why--]

[And he's trying, but---]

[He's glaring now, openly, and what he hasn't yet noticed is that there will soon be tears in his eyes, soon, and that's apparent to anybody who looks.]

How dare you-

[Law trails off. Maybe he's realising he can't hide anything he might or might not be thinking, if he was to continue.]
