[Itachi focuses the view on himself, sitting in the living room of the house he shares with Law. As usual, he's in a plain blue silk shirt with his black clothes beneath. At his feet, a gray cat rubs against the leg of his chair.]

It has come to my attention that several others from the world I originate from have arrived in Luceti. To them, if they are aware of who I am, I simply state my presence and assure that there is no need to consider me an adversary at this point in time. This is in the hopes of avoiding any unfortunate altercations in the future should we happen to run across each other.

[Things are chaotic enough as is.]

I am under close scrutiny [This is mostly true to a point.] and have been here for some time, so there is no cause for alarm.

I'm afraid I've never much been good at that sort of thing.

[Itachi didn't really use any aliases, after all.]

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Takashi? Maybe.

That's pretty common.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

You could pass for a Takashi.

And common is good. As long as it's not common to the point of drawing attention with it's unoriginality.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

[A nod and a small chuckle.] Like Bob. I swear, nearly everyone I've met back home gravitates to Bob at least once.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

...Is that one common where you're from?

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Common enough it all the Blues. Given East and West Blue generally have names patterned more like your world's [Family name, then given.], while North and South are the other way around.

Yours is pretty East Bluish for instance. If you ever go to my home, people might assume it's your home ocean.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

...Huh.

It's strange, how you delegate regions by oceans. But then, I suppose it isn't from the prospective of a pirate.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Easier for us that way with so little scattered land and so much water. Pirates, Marines, everyone. It also reflects how many people call the sea itself their home.

It's not uncommon to never step foot on real soil, you know. Some people spend their entire lives out there.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

I can only imagine.

You know from our conversations before how little time I've spent on open water.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Yeah, I do. [And he thinks that's a damn shame, even if the ocean didn't call to Itachi like him.]

[Action]

[yourhatred]

It does have me curious, though. I'll admit that.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

One day, if it's possible, you'll have to visit.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

If it's possible, I certainly will.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

But in the meantime, how 'bout another sailing trip on the ocean? I've still got to show you how the coating technology on the boat works.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

Perhaps. Once you have the opportunity.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Mmm? I guess I'll just have to seize the first one that comes up.

[Somebody has a birthday coming up - October 6th. It's a great time to have some fun.]

[Action]

[yourhatred]

I'm sure you'll let me know when that is.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

You know I will.

[He puts the now empty bowl on the coffee table.]

Did you ever spend your twenty points you earned on that mission? Or are you saving them?

[Action]

[yourhatred]

I haven't given much thought to what to do with them, to be honest.

I suppose I'll hold onto them until a need to spend them arises.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Aa. I'm mulling over making a few purchases with mine.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

I haven't taken much of a look at what's offered, to be honest.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

Basically anything you want. Within reason. And there's perhaps a couple things I wonder if it might be a good investment to get.

[Action]

[yourhatred]

"Anything" seems a bit stretching, but I could be wrong.

I'll have to give it further thought.

[Action]

[deathsdoctor]

[Nodding.]

Mm...

[He's just going to close his eyes, now. Blech. Better, but still a ways off from normal.]

[Action]

[yourhatred]

[Mother crow senses tingling.]

...Is there anything else I can do for you?
