Hey anon! ☺️ you were in time!

Law's S and F letters has already been answered, so I won't put it again here!

Thanks for requesting my alphabet! 🤓❤️ I hope you'll enjoy it!

Zoro

Casper: Do they believe in ghost? Would they hunt for them? Do they believe in a life after death or are they down on the ground most of the time?

Zoro isn’t so much a believer (remember how he claims he didn’t believe in God even when he was in Skypeia?), so ghosts? Meh, possible, for sure, maybe it exists, maybe not. Who really cares? If they exist, well, he’s not afraid of them, and he’s more curious to know if he’s able to slice them in pieces rather than truly study them. Can he kill a ghost for a second time? That would be a nice thing to discover for sure! If Luffy believes it can be fun the hunt them and discover their existence wherever they are, yeah, for sure he’s in! Zoro lives for the thrill and the fun, and he’s probably the one who doesn’t blink when his captain comes up with the stupidest ideas. So frankly, Zoro is swinging between his non-beliefs in general, and the very fact that his world is a damn example of weird things happening. If it happens, it happens, he will only care if it can bring some fun and challenge in his swordsman’s life!

Frankenstein: Favorite literature to read during this spooky period? Comics? Novels

Not that he’s the most idiotic man on Earth, but Zoro isn’t a thorough reader either. He sometimes borrows some comics to Usopp or Franky, he avoids to ask the damn cook for any kind of reading as well (because he knows what he will find), and he’s not really into very complicated books like Robin would enjoy. What can be his options? Chopper prefers to read medicinal books, Nami is into romance or navigation stuff, and Brook prefers some classical readings Zoro finds too boring to actually care. Perhaps if any of them could offer him a story with sword and war, he will pay attention and might try to read (if he’s not falling asleep during the process).

Nah, really, the best option remains in having a member of his crew (Robin, for sure), picking a very morbid and bloody story to read it out loud, so at least, he wouldn’t have to read it himself - especially not when someone can do it better than him!

Kill: What would be their most favorite way to kill someone? What is their method? Are they able to kill or would they get cold feet?

Killing isn’t what motivate Zoro to fight. He’s not looking for any sort of murder, and this is not the Straw Hat’s philosophy, on the contrary, they always prefer to try saving soulds rather than condemning them. Zoro will always make sure that he’s not deadly hurting someone, only seeking for the challenge of the combat rather than the death of his opponent. Even the most cruel ennemies he fought aren’t dead today, even if Zoro definitely has the power to end their lives.

Zoro has honor, despite his choice to become a pirate, and killing someone is a part of the forbidden thing of his own code.

Supernatural: What are their beliefs? Do they actually trust in supernatural existence in the first place?

Absolutely nothing, this guy is bulletproof to any kind of supernatural beliefs. You can put him a ghost, a god, a zombie, for sure he’s surprised, but he believes they are some kind of explanations, coming from the Devil Fruits in the first place. Real ghosts, real demons, all of these, he clearly thinks they are a myth and nothing else. He’s very rational, and would never pay attention this kind of stuff, preferring to live his life in peace.

Supernatural things aren’t a thing for a swordsman, he has to remain down to earth to prepare himself to claim the title of being the best fighter, and for that, he can only count on himself anyway.

Unexpected: What could really surprise them, what would be the most unexpected situations to spend Halloween for them?

Having a quiet celebration can be the only surprise for Zoro here. Quiet... the only world which would never define the Straw Hat and their chaotic vibes. It seems almost frightening to imagine that they can behave. Imagine how it can be so disturbing to have them all quietly seated around a table, eating in peace and soft voices, until they would all choose to sleep rather than doing some mischief in town?

So scary... It gives goosebumps to Zoro for sure!

Law

Casper: Do they believe in ghost? Would they hunt for them? Do they believe in a life after death or are they down on the ground most of the time?

No, definitely, Law doesn’t believe in ghosts. He doesn’t really believe in anything from the supernatural area, mostly because of his scientist mind for sure. Of course, as everyone, he has sometimes wished to be able to see his family again, or Corazon, because it could have offered him a bit of comfort when his days were dark and clouded. But right now, as the grown-up edgy man he is, frankly, ghosts are nothing but stories. Even in a world like the one he lives in, he can’t allow himself to really have hopes in those beliefs. So he doesn’t care, and wouldn’t hunt for them. Surely, he has better things to do.

A life after death? If he’s not certain about it, at least it hopes it exists. Probably because he wishes to see the people he lost once more. He wants them to forever live pain-free, in a soothing world they will all deserve. But it’s only his personal hopes, and not something he will share with anyone.

Kill: What would be their most favorite way to kill someone? What is their method? Are they able to kill or would they get cold feet?

It really depends on the person, Law would avoid killing someone if he can. He doesn’t believe it’s necessary, especially with the power of the ope ope no mi he has. After all, he can remove organs and uses them to balckmail those people, so killing innocents, or pirates, just for the thrill to kill someone else? No, really not for him. He’s also a doctor, and it would be a contradiction for him to assassinate everyone on his path.

Though, for the people who hurt his loved ones, you better be sure that death can be on the menu. He prefers to come up with a long prepared plan rather than just rushing to kill that person. His emotions are honestly blinding his judgement, and his way of killing might be utterly brutal, depends on what the person for sure. So yes, Law can kill, Law will kill if he has a good reason - he’s still a pirate after all - but he’s not thirsty for blood and can definitely control his wrath.

Unexpected: What could really surprise them, what would be the most unexpected situations to spend Halloween for them?

Probably endind up trick and treating with any member of his crew or some allies like the Straw Hat, or just... celebratring Halloween in the first place. The real surprise would be that someone eventually find the good arguments to make his change his plans. He doesn’t want to go outside, he doesn’t want to party, he doesn’t want to put a costume on... If anyone manages to make him change his mind, well, that would be quite a feat here! After all, Law hates when things don’t follow his plan, and he’s not very comfortable when something breaks what he has anticipated for days, or weeks.

For sure... He’s afraid of the chaos Hallowen can be if he’s around the Straw Hat for example, quite sure that he would have the most stressful night of his entire life for sure!

Also, SAEYOUNG'S BOILER ROOM MISSION AAAAAA. I was so surprised people didn't talk more about this: I was HORRIFIED when I got that call to learn he had spent 3 days locked and he didn't feel sad about dying, just empty. Actually scratch that, I was horrified to see Saeyoung repeat that he didn't care whether he lived or died in the chats, and the RFA were all "ahah, yeah... anyways." WHAT?? Ugh, I'm so glad that in the end, Saeyoung quit the agency and got his brother back. Ray route whomst???

The truly horrifying thing is that Saeyoung left for the agency when he was in junior high, which means that he could have been running missions like that when he was as young as twelve years old.

It’s a bit hard to say for sure given how muddled the timeline in Mystic Messenger is. Largely due in part to an inconsistent translation, I feel (in the sense that I feel like if we all understood and could play the game in Korean, a lot of the inconsistencies and questions we have about the timeline would probably be cleared up), the characters seem to have a hard time deciding whether things happened five or ten years ago, or whether Saeran was in junior high or high school when the photos were taken, et cetera. However, most accounts we’re given state that Saeyoung left home ten years ago. Since he is twenty-two when the game takes place, this would mean that he was twelve when he left home, which would place him in junior high. To be honest, this make ssense when you consider the flashback in which we see V tell Saeyoung of the intelligence agency (and Saeyoung agrees to go):

Look at him; he was a baby. He certaily doesn’t look like a teenager. He looks like a junior high school student. Therefore, it makes sense to agree with what is (usually) presented in the game, which is that Saeyoung left for the intelligence agency when he was around twelve years old, and became an agent at that time.

Of course, it seems strange and illogical that an intelligence agency would hire a twelve-year-old and make him an agent, but then again, Mystic Messenger asks us to suspend our disbelief in a variety of ways. Yes, there are many elements in the game and character backstories that are grounded in reality, but then there’s also Rika having Saeyoung install a special security system in her apartment that contains a bomb without the building manager knowing, as well as said security system somehow being able to detect specific individuals and identify them as strangers, versus just activating and refusing to shut off whenever there’s a break-in at the apartment. Rika presumably got the money to build Magenta from embezzling the party guests, but she was still able to get an entire crew to build Magenta without anyone from the government noticing at all, and so on and so forth. Yes, it seems ridiculous that an intelligence agency would hire a child as an agent, but these were also special circumstances. V had a contact within the intelligence agency that was going to help Saeyoung get the job, and Saeyoung was a child prodigy who was already carrying out contracted hacking jobs on foreign governments. Considering that, it isn’t too much for me to believe that the intelligence agency would have brought Saeyoung in as a child, particularly since I’m sure they felt they would be able to condition him more easily (i.e. without torture) since they could raise him to follow their ways. (Vanderwood actually mentions that they never brainwashed or tortured Saeyoung before because of his age, but that his disobedience in his route means they’ll now have to. This makes me think that the agency felt that, since Saeyoung was a child when they came to him, they thought they could just raise him to be a loyal and obedient agent.)

So with all of that said, it’s entirely possible that Saeyoung has been running life-threatening missions since he was twelve. True, we know that he did spend time in school; he attended a high school, and he went to an Ivy League university. But we also know that he was working for the agency at that time, because Vanderwood tells us in the Secret Endings that Saeyoung would only sleep for about three hours each night, and that every other waking moment was dedicated to completing his university coursework and his work for the agency. There’s nothing saying that the agency didn’t also send Saeyoung out on missions in his pre-teen / teen years as well. If nothing else, the fact that the enemy probably wouldn’t suspect a child would be all the more reason to send Saeyoung in. His age gave him an extra dose of cover.

If that is the case, then this means that the boiler mission could have happened at any time. Maybe it was more recent, but maybe it wasn’t. We don’t know, because Saeyoung doesn’t tell us. He could have been fourteen when he was stuck in the boiler room for three days, dehydrated and starving, terrified of the enemies just outside the door, but at the same time not bothered by the thought that he could die, because he didn’t believe that his death would negatively impact anyone or anything. Considering that a law of the agency is that agents are not allowed to have friends or family (V tells Saeyoung as much when he first tells him about the agency; he makes it very clear that Saeyoung will have to cut off contact with Saeran because the agency won’t permit it), we can assume that the agency helped drill this into him. He’s an agent of theirs, so he can’t leave any traces behind, he can’t have any connections. No one will care if he dies. The agency, I feel, has played a big part in deteriorating Saeyoung’s self-worth, in ways that the fandom usually doesn’t acknowledge because they’re too busy focusing on his Agent 707 persona.

Saeyoung’s trauma is not as evident as Saeran’s, but it’s absolutely there. Saeyoung did not live an easy life despite escaping his mother’s house, whatever Saeran has been led to believe. Of course, Saeyoung won’t allow himself to acknowledge his trauma for any real length of time, and he would also always insist that Saeran of course had it worse. But it’s not a competition, and the fact remains that Saeyoung was pretty much raised in an environment that drilled into his head that he isn’t allowed to have friends, he’s not allowed to have family, that “a mindless joke can get you killed,” that he’s not to leave any trace of himself, that any point he can be dragged off, and tortured to the point where he forgets himself entirely, and they give him a new identity. (So, yeah, that’s another point that this agency would have no problems employing a capable child; they’re clearly not on the up-and-up with how they treat their own agents.) Saeyoung wasn’t tortured, but I’d still say it’s highly probable / strongly implied that the agency still emotionally abused him so that he would be a perfect agent for them (which he was, for the longest time). This, on top of the life-threatening missions, means that he has a lot of trauma that he just doesn’t like acknowledging or dealing with. And yes, it’s horrifying, and it also leads to him being explicitly suicidal throughout the game, which … the RFA largely ignores. :’) Some friends.

(Though on that note, honestly, the RFA does not appreciate Saeyoung nearly to the extent he deserves. The grand majority of the time they complain about or insult him for being ~omg so weird and annoying~. They don’t seem to realize the sheer blessing they have by having him on their side. Setting aside how he does things to assist their personal lives simply because he cares about them (e.g. creating the Tripter bot for Zen, installing LOLOL on Yoosung’s computer when Yoosung was depressed), you know—you know—that Saeyoung would be there in a hot second if any of them had any issues with computer viruses, rogue hackers going after their personal information, or anything of that nature. He buys Zen a new laptop in Another Story when he sees Zen’s ancient computer, and as much as he had his fit over Zen’s computer being, well, offensively old, you know that part of getting Zen a new computer was no doubt due to the fact that old hardware is more prone to viruses and malware, and Saeyoung is looking out for Zen’s personal information. Saeyoung would be there to help any of them in a split second, and yet all of them routinely treat him like he’s an annoyance and a burden, and ignore when he’s very obviously severely depressed and in need of help. The RFA doesn’t deserve Saeyoung, tbqh. They’re goddamn blessed to have him and they don’t even realize it. It honestly makes me angry.)

Anyway, yes. It’s so great that Saeyoung quit the agency, and that Saeran is living with him, getting the help and healing that he needs. Of course, it would be great if the fandom could remember that Saeyoung quit hacking altogether in the Secret Endings, instead of pretending that he still hacks for a living even though he makes it clear that he sees hacking as something filthy and terrible and that he never wants to do it again, but … what can you do, I guess.
