Week 0 | Friday

[Waver isn't one of the people on Sanji's list to find. It's more an accident when they cross paths, likely in the foyer as they tend to their own business. But as the guy doesn't look busy (just perpetually grumpy, heh), that's enough to warrant a pause and then eventually readjusting his trajectory so that they orbit closer.]

Oi... did you find anything?

Comments

[ well, the wine barely helped waver to relax. so now he looks both pissed off and mentally exhausted, as if he had just come back from the math olympics.

exhausted enough that, when sanji approaches him, he doesn't even argue. ]

Yes. In the tailor's room, I found some evidence. It looked like a bloody tornado had crossed through it.

[concasse]

[... Alright, yikes. Waver has his full attention.]

What exactly? Weapons? Blood trail?

[londonstar]

Things thrown across the room. Some bloodied cloth and headless mannequins. Broken pencils and a letter opener.

[ he sighs. ]

It's truly a shame that this had to happen.

[concasse]

... A real shitshow then.

[No surprise in his voice. Just weary acceptance.]

Can't say I'm surprised. Someone was gonna make the first move... Just didn't expect Gi-Gan to be the victim.

[londonstar]

It was either someone incredibly skilled or someone capable of surprising Captain Gi-Gan.

Either way, it's someone desperate enough to murder for the sake of a wish; they're not to be messed with.

[concasse]

Yeah... agreed there.

[Sighing quietly.]

Well, too bad for them Gi-Gan was well liked. I can't let this stand.

[londonstar]

I doubt anyone will. I cannot say that I would want to be in the murderer's position.

[concasse]

I wonder how long it'll last, eh? The outrage when someone dies.

[Because there will be more killings. Sanji assumes they both know that.]

[londonstar]

Lady Dragon and Lady Tiger will do their best to get under our skin after this.

[ because there's no point in this "battle royale" if it's meant to stop after one murder; that much is obvious. ]

Eventually, they'll succeed.

[concasse]

Honestly, I don't think it'll take much.

They're holding all the cards. Shit, we don't even know what it is they want besides a "good story."
