Text I cannot believe this is the first thing in Law's inbox

[refire]

Do you have diarrhea by any chance?

I went and got some medication because I thought it might help. You still have those pains.

[zephyrean]

[Law stares at the page for a minute. Is he seriously seeing this? Is Alphen seriously asking him if he has diarrhea now?]

Uhh... Not since the last time I ate your cooking.

[The incidents have lessened drastically since Kisara established her totalitarian rule over the kitchen.]

[refire]

You might want to drink more water next time you have my cooking.

That could help with your butt problems.

[ Rip Law.]

I'm only using the right combination of ingredients so that it can be delicious. Next time we eat meals together I really want you to try this beefsteak recipe.

[ More suffering. ]

[zephyrean]

[Alphen, the water isn't the problem. You coating your food in so much spice that it turns black when cooking is the problem.....]

How about you run it by Kisara first? I'm sure she can find ways to cut back on your spice addiction without ruining the taste.

[refire]

She did offer to help with it earlier.

I've already cut back on spice before. Do you still think it's too much?

[ way too much. way TOO MUCH ]

[zephyrean]

Alphen, there are places in Calaglia that aren't as hot as your cooking.

I know you got this way because you couldn't feel pain before, but can you seriously still not tell it's too much compared to what Kisara or even Shionne makes?

[refire]

But I can feel pain now. Things are different from before. You could just say I developed some habits from the time I still wore a mask.

It's really strange and I don't know how else to describe it. I was just some guy called Iron Mask until you and the others came around.

Action 3 / 6, acts like I haven't vandalized your inbox by sending normal tags

Hey, Law. I promised that we'd continue our training. Sorry it took so long for me to prepare for it.

[He did promise Law that they'll learn dreamotion together. Alphen looks a little different now because he's wearing an entirely new set of armor. His outfit is covered in gold and white accents. Law might recognize it as the Sovereign's outfit. ]

I know you've been wanting to get stronger. So let's take this one step at a time. We can start whenever you're ready.

smh nami...

[zephyrean]

[the sudden white certainly does catch Law's attention, after having gotten used to seeing Alphen out of it for so long.]

Busting out the Sovereign gear just for me, huh?

Farts

[refire]

I can't keep holding myself back because I'm worried I'll lose control of my own power. We need to fight so we can protect what's most important. Your dad is the one who taught me that.

[ Using the Sovereign's power is risky but what choice does he really have? Certainly it'll help with training and Alphen's prepared for that. Law's looking serious about training. ]

What about you? Have you come prepared? I'll wait if you need more time.

[zephyrean]

[We need to fight so we can protect what's most important. Yeah... That sounds like something his dad said. A lot, actually... Law's all too familiar with the things Zephyr said, both to him and to his crew. If only he'd taken those words more seriously back then. Then maybe Zephyr...

...Nah, he can't think about that now. Getting all caught up in the could haves or would haves isn't the way to live.]

There's no time like the present, Alphen. Let's get it on!

[refire]

[ Some of those were even Zephyr's dying words so of course Alphen remembers them. He wishes that he could have learned a lot more from Zephyr. Their time together was cut short and it was a tragedy. Alphen felt powerless to act back then but now he's determined to see that change.]

You're right. Let's go!

[ Alphen takes in a deep breath and calls for the Sovereign's crest. He taps into a power that caused him great suffering. By combining his abilities with dreamotion he creates something similar to the Blazing Sword. The flames are burning away at his hands and arms.

Not really sure what else Law would expect from a man who's literally called the Blazing Sword of Calaglia. ]

[zephyrean]

[....Oh, seeing Alphen doing that fills Law with big concern. The effects of the Blazing Sword were something that was always dealt with by Shionne. She alone had the power to mitigate and undo the effects the flames had on Alphen's body.

Which raised the concern of what happens if Shionne wasn't around. What if she wasn't available to heal him, or even worse?]

Uhh... Are you sure going for fire is a good idea, Alphen?

3/20 text closes my eyes

[refire]

Just what happened?

Everything hurts like hell including my balls. It's actually the worst. I miss not being able to feel any pain.

[It's to be expected that everything hurts seeing as he was nearly burnt alive. ]

[zephyrean]

Dude.

[Alphen's been out for a while after that whole incident. And when he wakes up this is the first thing he reads???]

That's TMI.

[He doesn't want to hear about your balls?! Go talk to Shionne about that.]

[refire]

I'm being serious, Law.

It's like I got kicked in the balls while I was out cold.

You should know what it's like to get hit down below. When I sit down all I can think about is how much it hurts.


[ This is extremely illicit guy talk. Alphen refuses to drag Shionne into this. ]

[zephyrean]

Yeah i know what it's like, that doesn't mean I wanna hear about it!

Ugh i don't need that mental image of your roasted nuts.

[this is guy talk gone too far. Go see a doctor, alphen.]

[refire]

[ He did see a doctor and that doctor's name is Jude Mathis. Thank you.]

I didn't say anything about my nuts being roasted!!

How do you even know that?

[zephyrean]

So you admit they're roasted!

[Jude is not qualified as that kind of doctor. ]

9 /1 pee poo pooo peee

[refire]

Hey, Law. I know you're eager to go out and train but I just wanted to talk for a bit.

[They've been here for a while now and Alphen is still concerned for Law's well being. How could Law possibly be okay? He's been through a lot and Alphen knows it but he just wants to check on his friend. ]

Am I interrupting anything?

[zephyrean]

Well, you're interrupting me going out to train.

[His tone is light, just ribbing Alphen for his choice of words.]

What's up?

[refire]

I just wanted to talk unless I picked a bad time for it then I'll come back later.

You really shouldn't push yourself too hard.

[ hes at it again with this. Yep. ]

[zephyrean]

[Now Law's expression falls, giving Alphen a tired expression.]

Come on, man, this again? Working hard's how I work best.

[refire]

Yeah, I'll remind you as many times as it takes just like how you reminded me before. Zephyr always stopped to tell me it was okay to rest every now and then.

[He's back with Zephyr's words again. Some things never change. ]

You won't be pulling any punches if you trip over with exhaustion. How's your training coming along?

[zephyrean]

[Law has to stifle a groan at Alphen quoting the Zephyr Bible, knowing full well Zephyr could only say those things because of how much doing otherwise cost him.

...and yet here Law is, also working nonstop. Maybe he's more like his old man than he cares to admit.]

It's going great! I think I've really got the hang of this dreamotion stuff now. You should've seen me back in that water balloon fight on the beach, I was like WHAM! and then WHOOSH! and then I was like EAT THIS! It was pretty awesome.
