002 ♥ VIDEO ♦ Patter

[debauchewy]

[His massive castle city of cards that takes up almost his entire cell is finished, and visible. Infact, that's all you see is towers and towers of cards to the point that it's difficult to tell this is a Government Holding Cell at all. Quite the feat, one of utmost patience and concentration. Perhaps it- and the few visitations he's had are all that's keeping him from going over the edge in here. Though, that's pushing it. Were his Nen active and his aura accessible, his bloodlust would be felt all around him and over a wide distance. You can hear it in his speech, how tired and strained he is, though it's obviously he's speaking through a slim smile.]

What is your New Years resolution? [Something he's learned is quite a thing in this world, though doesn't everyone make goals for themselves? Guess people need a reason for everything they do- effort is quite difficult to come by when disinterest lingers around.]

I'd like to know what sort of things people here work for. [Like how he worked to finish this ridiculous town of cards, for example. Certainly showing a lot of effort there- or boredom.]

Comments

video not to mention how terrible the lighting is for makeup....

[seesthestars]

Mmmm...

[She looks... thoughtful. It's bad and good news, then. But at least it's firsthand information.]

That does make sense. They probably don't care that much about physical strength unless it's enough to help you get out... or maybe they can only suppress it to a certain degree. I don't suppose you happen to know how they manage that, do you?

In your experience... is there anything else they don't catch?

i wouldnt kno. ♠ but then ive only just started 2 make friends, i cant say how far theyd b able 2 take me. but id like 2 think i have potential. ♥

VOICE.

[debauchewy]

Oh, is it really worth the effort? I'm still learning what to bother with, came across a few problems along the way even.

[debauchewy]

[He outwardly laughs at that, pulling in a hissed breath through his teeth.]

I'm making it a point to ask a few people that, besides, I still don't know what image you'd like me to keep for this endeavor of yours.

video Don't even get him started on that. You thought he was pale before? Eugh.

[debauchewy]

They don't care much about anything as long as you learn your lesson and you don't break out, yes. [Learn your lesson as in- don't do it again, from either fear of getting caught again or really seeing the error of your ways. If rehabilitation ever does work.]

Not exacts no, though I imagine it's some sort of technology to do so, others here have been known to have such things, from my knowledge.

Don't- ah. There was a man I spoke to in here they merely kept in a special cell, it appeared he still had access to his abilities. They could easily choose not to for certain criminals by the crime, or perhaps certain abilities just cannot be stripped using whatever means they have. Or there may be a device that can stop it from working, or a prepared spell or ability that helps one avoid it. [A smile, speaking more than he needs to now, but it's fun to put hope in people, see where it goes.]

Will power enough, the right connections, chance~ A lot of factors can come into play, though they do seem to have the upper hand here, don't they?

[goldenlegacy]

Mmm. I can't say clothing is my top priority when it comes to business endeavors. When I took over my organization at home, I didn't go shopping for suits.

[...]

Well, actually, I suppose I would have if I didn't end up here. In any case, I don't mind colorful or dark, casual or formal, as long as you zip up your pants. Speaking of which, you could always speak to he, Dio. You both have a certain theatrical flare and he certainly knows how to make a visual impact.

[...]

Just remember. Zippers serve a function. Don't let him say otherwise.

[debauchewy]

I plan to speak to Dio but I assure you, our tastes do different when it comes to attire and appearances. I won't deny he has an alluring and intriguing aesthetic though. [A chuckles, thinking back. Those- bathing suits, Dio. Applause for you.]

Thanks for the tip though, I'll keep that in mind. Zippers- check-o. [Brows up, a thoughtful silence. He regrets- needing to change his appearance because of all of this. Under normal circumstances he wouldn't let this bother him, wouldn't let it change how he presents himself. But since this place will most likely hang the title 'murderer' over him, and such a thing will hinder him to an annoying degree- unlike back home, he'll do it. If only to save himself from unnecessary encounters later.]

[He already imagines he'll be watched upon his release...]

[goldenlegacy]

He looks like Dio. I don't know. He's my father.

[Don't talk to him about allure, jfc. He's still recovering from the tying down thing, especially now.]

Come to think of it, I don't actually know what you normally look like.

[debauchewy]

You will eventually, sitting on the edge of your seat won't be frowned upon.

[goldenlegacy]

I await with the greatest of anticipation.

means so much coming from someone i don't know. but mayb we can change that l8r ♠

VOICE.

[osreborn]

I can't decide what's worth effort for you. Motivation is its own responsibility.

[gonstop]

no you DONT
you dont know anything about him so why cant you trust me on this!
youre not helping!

[gevurah]

Stop worrying about me. I'm a grown woman, Killua.

[glampop]

... If a man looks, it isn't as if it's such a big deal.

[Caesar's not the most open-minded of men, but he's getting weird vibes from this dude. Why is this familiar?

Reminds him of that one douchebag. A little bit. What was his name? Digo Breado?

Either way, he isn't letting this one under his skin! No way!]

[gonstop]

yeah and you couldn't lay a finger on a 12 year old
you think you can do anything about hisoka?

[gevurah]

We'll see.

[gevurah]

Don't pretend as if you know me.

[ Disconnects. ]

[shuckit]

[ his teeth grind some, but he mostly just gets irritated ]

i'd like it if people weren't slintheads about it, yeah. that kinda seems like a given, though. i'm not trying for any reaction, if that's what you mean.

private

[extirpations]

[Ugh, well he is somewhat mollified by the answer. That and the fact that he dislikes letting anyone get under his skin without being able to do something about it is enough motivation that he can master himself, damping down that flash of anger till it's all but extinguished.]

Ah, that you did. [He forces himself to relax back down, expression smoothing out into something more neutral though his eyes remain cold.]

You're thinking of someone particular?

video;

[debauchewy]

Oh good then I'll continue using video for this conversation. Making you uncomfortable isn't my intent at all.

[Oh no, he's certainly not trying to get under that skin, though he might like to. Mind removing your shirt?]

[debauchewy]

kate, is it?

[debauchewy]

Slintheads, hm? [Chuckles, pausing for a moment. Ah- he really wishes this wasn't text, something about those words makes it seem like they'd be much more amusing and enjoyable to hear by voice.]

Not trying, just a preferred one. Most people tend to have an idea of what they'd prefer and prefer not to hear in response to anything they say. It usually gives you a good idea of the person you're speaking to as well.

Judging by your response though, I suppose even though you're touchy on the subject, you getting better with not letting it be too tender should it come up? You seem comfortable enough to talk about it anyway. It must have been such an experience, hm- I'm proud of your resolve.

private

[debauchewy]

Many- [A wider smile, one you'll hear in the next word.] Actually.

And the list continues to grow. People here especially- can be so impressive. [A breath, long, mostly through his nose.]

Looking at you, I feel you might be too. But appearance alone is never enough, especially not with you looking so- serene. [It's better to see that temper, Kimblee. He'd rather see you on fire.]
