[There's a bit of a hesitant pause, before;]

I do feel like we can say with a relative amount of certainty that there is some sort of higher power in Taeum, presumably the Highest One that Angrial refers to, and they seem, based on what Finn and I sensed, to have an Orb. I'm not sure what that means for reports of the orb potentially being in Sedorum, but frankly, this whole situation is bullshit and if there are in fact two orbs or two parts of one whole orb that we have to figure out a way to combine, I wouldn't be surprised.

In any case, this is Trafalgar Law, reporting in that Daisy, Finn, Cora and myself have been branded traitors and taken into custody for attempting to breach the area where the orb is contained. I don't have access to my abilities and I assume the same goes for the other three.
[A long pause where Law presumably just silently ruminates on the fact that he has ended up in Heaven Jail and really of course this would happen.]

This is not a request for a rescue, simply something to keep in mind as work to find the orb continues. As well as a test on my part to confirm that our comms are still functional from in here.

[ETA: Despite what Law says there is now an OOC plotting post re: potential jailbreak ideas.]

I'm in Sedorum, and I can hear you clearly....

But if both sides have an orb, this is going to be complicated. This 'Highest One'... do you think their power is rooted in having the orb?

[kikoku]

That would make sense to me, yes. But then the question is how to account for the orb also being theorized to be in Sedorum. Is this really a situation of two independent worlds and orbs or two sides of a single coin?

[bindsthedead]

Entr'i's the one who has the Orb in Sedorum, and she holds little love for Taeum.

The other question is.... what bargains have been struck with the orbs, and what were the prices paid?

Ah, Trafalgar Law! I'm also in custody!

[ there's most likely no one who's sounded as excited to announce being in the dungeons as yamato is, at this moment. ]

I'm crying

[kikoku]

[Irritated;]

Why do you sound so happy about it??

welcome back to the babysitter life, law

[hannyas]

Why shouldn't I be happy about standing up for what's right?! I told the blind lady I wouldn't support what they're doing here.

[ and smashed the floor with their kanabo club, but that's beside the point. ]

If both sides have part of the orb, that would give one reason why they're gearing up to go to war with each other: each side would want the other piece of the orb and make it whole.

[kikoku]

If that's the case, it's certainly not the information they've been selling to their armies, at least on this side. That might be something we could use to our advantage, though I suppose the real reason of "properly obtain a wish granting orb might be sufficient motivation as well, so why lie?

...goddammit.

[kikoku]

[Law really starting off on the wrong foot with his fellow medical professional.]

... As I said, this isn't a call for rescue. If need be, we'll find our own way out. I'm not allowing for the other three to be executed.

[savingthrows]

Why don't you want to. Break out?

[ Have the full force of a judgmental 14 year old voice here for this life choice, Law. The speech pattern is perhaps a little more halting than one would expect. ]

I can ask the orb, maybe. If there's two. [ A small pause, she seems to consider, and then begrudgingly adds: ] I can try.

[kikoku]

I never said we don't want to break out. Just that a rescue doesn't need to be a priority. We can try to get ourselves out first.

[In any case. He was once also a judgemental 14 year old so he's immune to the tone of voice.]

What do you mean that you can ask the orb?

Audio; un: belova

[laviny]

Are you sure this isn’t a rescue request? Because it sounds like it probably should be.

[kikoku]

There's the larger mission to think about. I'm not banning any attempts, I'm just saying that breaking us out might jeopardize the rest of the team, so it might be better if we try to get ourselves out first.

[yuujyou]

[The fuck.]

What the hell, Law?! Are any of you hurt?

[He's known you for like five seconds, that's enough to worry about your safety.]

[kikoku]

[Anyone who's known Law for more than five seconds is worried about him one way or another tbh. Man's got death tattooed on his hands.]

No one's hurt in our group. Apparently Yamato is also here and I can't speak to their condition.
[EVEN MORE PEOPLE GOT ARRESTED APPARENTLY. We are so bad at Heaven.]

[morethan084]

Yeah...

That could've gone better.

[At least they're all alive? For now.]

Heaven sucks.

[kikoku]

[FOR NOW.]

Heaven does suck. I knew it was going to as soon as the information we received said it was possible to buy your way in. It's exactly the sort of place the Celestial Dragons would cook up.

[romancekiller]

I guess that explains why Viveca could sense it on both sides but that definitely makes this more complicated.

Are all of you okay though? [she recognizes a couple of names from that list so the concern in her voice is more than obvious]

[kikoku]

Unless someone managed to become injured after we were arrested, I don't believe anyone is injured, no.

Given how she was cut off when we were sent here, I'd have been shocked if the situation hadn't become more complicated, honestly.

[callada]

He means me when he says "Cora", by the way.

For anyone trying to work out what to do about this, we might have a sympathizer on our side. Ruvilor left us with our weapons. If we can get rid of the power-sapping effects of the chains, I think we'll be able to handle the rest.

So, anyone have a tiny chain-removing device you could somehow slip us?

[kikoku]

[There's important information in this message, but;]

Do people not call you Corazon here?

[A beat, then. Duh. He's not operating as a member of the Donquixote pirates here.]

... Actually I guess that makes sense. Should I stop calling you that?

audio; un: stargirl

[bossily]

I was wondering who Cora was.

Is this...is he the boy you've told me about?

Then, if it’s tangential information we are sharing on top of Orb Current Affairs:

I had a morsel of bread this morning that didn’t settle well. Don’t bother to bring me tablets. [Beat.] Oh! And I scuffed my boots.

[kikoku]

... What? Why the hell do you think I care about this?

[hello????]
