[ closed text: trafalgar law. A lot of the contents of the pamphlet and device tutorials go over Corazon's head, if he's honest. It's hard to go from dying to not-quite, to completely lose his bearings in the blink of an eye (that felt much longer). Concentration gets more difficult. Long story short, Corazon is pretty much fumbling around blindly when he happens across the name. Law's name. He'd like to say he doesn't blindly trust to hope, but he is... really, desperately hoping when he sends the message. ]

Are you who you say you are?

[ nailed it. How could this possibly be a bad idea. In a day or so he will probably realize exactly why it could be a bad idea, but still. ]

[ Following that personal matter, he also opts to poke around on this network. It's simply what's done. At least that's what it looks like to him. In any case, a little bit of casual investigation never hurt. So follows an open post; ]

This is already more peaceful than the last island I was on. But I don't think it was hard to beat at the time.

Do you have any advice for a newcomer that the booklet doesn't cover? I would be interested in hearing it.

[ Users will find that (ICly) the replies they get from this poster are relatively staggered in timing. Corazon can be absentminded on a good day, but today is especially rough. ]

Oooh gj piking up on the smilies :D

[hasklutz]

I don't know. A different place is a different place.

I don't meet many people who know more about me than I do about them.

[ He's more interested by this prospect than he probably should let himself be. It's just so strange. ]

Is there some kind of guide for all of these abbreviations and tricks?

[om_nom_namur]

So ask me shit
Duh

Thers all kinds of guides online just look them up
But dont tell no1 if u do cuz its lame

[ HE'LL NEVER BE COOL... but he can learn a language of convenience. ]

How did you meet this other me?

[om_nom_namur]

U was on fire so i chucked water at u cuz im a swell guy like that ;)

[hasklutz]

... damn.

Lol.

That makes sense.

[ Hell, maybe the him that supposedly existed there was acting cagey because he wanted to make up for lost intimidation points. He doesn't even think to consider the potential "Law showed up and forgave him for everything" factor tbh. It's gotta be the suave factor. ]

I don't remember it, but I'm grateful anyway.

[om_nom_namur]

O i no
Dont even fuss about it

Hell of a way 2 meet ppl tho

U practis that shit or wat?

[hasklutz]

[ Namur, the coolest dude in the entire game tbh. ]

I tried saying it was an act a few times. No one ever believes it.

I'll remember that offer in the future! I appreciate it. You get a lot of people who say they like sleeping outdoors?

[om_nom_namur]

Hell i like sleeping out in the ocean sumtimes
But i still need sumwhere to put my shit u no?
Water plus boombox equals sadness

Maybe ppl just cant handl the level of awesome itd take 2 effortlessly and clulessly set urself on fire on purpose catch me?

[hasklutz]

I catch you. Clumsiness makes an intimidating skillset.

[ He doesn't know what a boombox is... but he thinks he gets the gist of what Namur's saying with it. ]
