Youre Gonna Carry That Weight

you’re gonna carry that weight

probably won't get to these for a few days, or maybe not until early next week, but here's a tentative meme/inbox call from cora.

i'll pick 1-3 memes from your tag to send in. no cap, though i might be selective about what i decide to turn into threads depending on how many people like this. just trying to gently ease myself back into things.

i think law deserves a thread where he infodumps about comics to cora, who knows absolutely nothing, like the nerd he is.

[ ATTENTION ]: sender, having just noticed something strange or remarkable, calls for the receiver to get their attention. (this one. said quietly, but with a frown as he holds up a newspaper to indicate a headline he's just picked up on.)

　rosinante didn't immediately hear law calling his name, back turned with several paces of distance between them. the sound of rushing water didn't help either.

the pair had camped next to a stream last night and he was taking full advantage of that, still half-dressed and scrubbing his upper body with a washcloth. 'freshening up' via a sponge bath with icy river water would never be the ideal when soap, hot water heaters & plumbing existed ー but when options were limited, it was important to get creative. besides,

he was fine with this; there was an odd nostalgia about having no other option but to bathe in the river. after a moment, law approached his shoulder, newspaper in hand, pestering him again to look. when rosinante did, their frowns matched. he clicked his tongue.

　❝ ...all right, so... we can just go ahead and check that hospital off the list, then, ❞ he muttered, sheepishly.

whoops. word clearly traveled much faster on this island than the older man thought; news of the pair's 'reign of terror' ー well, let's be honest, it was rosinante raining terror on people ー at the hospital they had visited the previous morning was already on the front pages. and if the news coo had been able to pick out law amongst the trees and successfully deliver the paper, there was little chance that the town they were heading towards (the last on rosinante's list for this island) would already be expecting them. a big safety risk. best to skip the town altogether and get an early start on the next one.

　❝ but, uh... look on the bright side ー we're lucky the news coo saw you and dropped that for us. so, we're prepared! imagine if we didn't know and walked into a trap, right? could have been a tough situation to get out of. ❞

they had enough food to last them another week or two, right? he'd have to check.
