— this can really record what I'm saying?
[It takes a bit of time before the journal gets into focus revealing a dark haired woman who is now in view, it was obvious she had never used anything like the journal from the momentary glimpse of curiosity with her expression and that she is extremely calm about her arrival for the most part]
Oh! There we go. This is working, isn't it? Now I think I've heard the basics about this place but that hardly makes this anymore reassuring if we're to stay here. It's a bit worrying actually since I have a family to get back to, after all.
If these are supposed to be used for communication, I'm guessing people can hear me through this? I'm not sure whether I know anyone here yet but this seems be the way to find out— I'm looking for two of my sons or anyone who would be from Konoha? I'd really grateful for any help at all.

They're both fairly young&mdash one of them is eight years old and the other is thirteen.

Okay.
[And now a filter goes up.
... gently.]
But you see... people can come here from all points of time, and some people have been here for a long time. There's... really... no easy way to put this, and it won't be easy to hear... but your sons have done some growing up.
no subject
I'm not sure I understand but what you just said can't be right.
Filtered
Yeah.
[After what had happened during that experiment, there was no way he wouldn't recognize Mikoto's face or her name.]
... it's the truth, though. They're grown. [... especially Itachi. He's been here for years. Just like Law.] You'll see for yourself when you see them.
[There are things that just can't be danced around. And Law can't lie. Not here. Once Sasuke contacts her (because Itachi won't)... she's going to be in for a surprise. Might as well try to soften that blow.
... as for how he's so familar with her sons - especially one son - that isn't something he's looking forward to explaining either. There's no way the 'by the way, you not only have sons here, but a future son-in-law' conversation is going to go over well.]

Sasuke's only been here months in comparison.
[Not counting all the times he's been here before that he doesn't remember.]

[And there's another thing Law doesn't even want to brush. That Itachi can't go home. Because he's dead and there's nothing left for him there.]

I've heard that people can be here for some time but it's still surprising.

Yes.. I know. Has anyone shown you the Guide yet? One of the village's residents put together a primer of the facts of living here. It's very useful.
Filtered
A guide? No, I don't believe I have been shown anything like that actually.

[As he gives her a few minutes to peruse the guide, Law settles into attentive silence, waiting for any questions. This conversation so far has made Mikoto's timeline point almost certain without doubt. He suspected it before... but...
She's from before the massacre.
Problematic in itself. Chilling. She doesn't know... about what Itachi...
There's a lot of things Law doesn't know of the Uchiha, the massacre, and the coup - one of them being much of Mikoto and her role in things. Did she know of the coup? Was she an active part of things? A leader?
It's hard to imagine it of the woman, but the pirate knows better than to assume.
There's no way she won't find out. It's just a question of time.
The clues that things are terribly wrong are right here. The reception itself is telling. Would, if the coup had actually occured, the greeting have actually been so friendly to a traitor? Instead the clues that something else occured are sprinkled throughout the entire post.
... so how long will it be until she begins to suspect?]

[Hell, what does he call her? Missus Mikoto? Madam Uchiha? (Uchiha-san would be easiest and the most respectful, but Law does not use -san anymore for reasons he won't yet disclose... except for Cora... and once in the future for Vergo).
Mom? Surely not.
... he'll just avoid using her name until he figures out what's right.]
