Summary: Information post here
Rating: Varies on thread, please mark explicit material.

This post is for the draftee-only portion of the Zompania draft--the day 3 death, time travel to day 1, and then the events until the arrival of the reinforcements. Be sure to use the above info post for any plotting needs you might have. Enjoy!

Please note that there is a specific top-level comment thread for:

• The day 3 arrival of the draftees and the 6 hours that follow until the bomb is dropped
  
• Death--This thread can be treated as REFERENCE ONLY. Responding to it isn't necessary.
  
• Threads prior to departing for Zompania--post resurrection freak outs, arguments over how to proceed, etc.

All other threading, from day 1 until the reinforcements arrive, should be conducted as normal.

[The pirate's face is stone as he nods curtly, eyes gone storm grey and leached of all the blue they normally possess.

It's enough. Not a hallucination. At least, not his alone.

... the ice running through his veins turns even colder.]

I did.

[complicatedliar]

[Loki nods slowly, just once.

No, he is not going mad. Or if he is, it's a madness he and Law share--in which case, there are no gods great enough to help the rest of the draftees.]

Later. We shall speak of it then.

[deathsdoctor]

Later, then. I'll hold you to it.

[Survive in other words. Law will. He will make it happen for him and his, no matter how many cultists have to bleed to do so.

Those eyes turn towards Zompania in the distance. It's far away, but in the symphony of pain and life energy 'voices' falling silent to death pressing in on all sides thanks to his Haki, the city sings a loud and terrible melody like nothing Law's ever known.

There's nothing but the ice to keep him from being dragged under. He can't be human for this and so he shall not.]

... it's not a good idea to linger much longer anyway. [Breathe.] I don't think they've noticed us yet but that soon will change.

[complicatedliar]

[He nods. It'll give him some time to mull this over as well.

And they have other, more immediate matters to which they must attend.]

Aye. The next question is to what purpose this has happened...

[Which seems like an appropriate time for the message from John to pop up, huh?]

[deathsdoctor]

[Absolutely right on cue.

Law listens with a frown to what John has to say. They died. ... yes... figured that. Bomb okay. Got it. Ignore the MSF to deal with that and let Davis take the fall - regrettable, but they would have do what they must. Time travel and mass sacrificial black hole?!

What.]

The man has good timing. [He's not being punny on purpose. Really.] And we have little of the stuff altogether it seems.

[He wonders if this John is talking to them from the future (or a timeline's future) or the past. Beyond the bomb, he can't help but be concerned for something else. Something that might not occur to him if he wasn't as numb to feeling as he is.

Time is not his power... looking at you, Jewelry Bonney... that's more the other dimensions of space and the modifications thereof in a sense. But. To tear them from a sacrificial black hole (part of the power of the Yami Yami no Mi, minus the sacrificial in his world), something so greedy as to warp everything around to get what it wants, and then send them back?

Wouldn't that damage something. Or cause--

Wait. Timey-wimey bullshit and possible damage. Haven't they been experiencing that for the last little while? Since the intern?

Had they been seeing the ripples from this for months?]

[complicatedliar]

Hm. It is a matter of timing.

[He's got the same sort of thoughts about this as it relates to the ongoing ripples in Luceti. Unfortunately--]

I haven't the time to do out the maths now. We'd best get moving.

[deathsdoctor]

[They're in agreement then. Time to go. But first.]

Anyone you want me to keep a lookout for and pass a message onto?
