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.]

[debauchewy]

About anything.

[paintjobs]

Well then, what's yours?

[debauchewy]

I'm not sure yet, there's a lot of things I want.

[paintjobs]

Don't be shy, now.

[debauchewy]

But I am shy!

[paintjobs]

Apparently. A video with no face in sight?

[debauchewy]

Believe me I've had better days, I'd rather people see me when I'm as I should be. [A laugh, voice getting a little further away as he leans back on his cot.]

The cards were a nice touch, that was my thought.

[paintjobs]

Well, I can certainly understand that. It's very important to maintain personal image — other network users could really take note.

[debauchewy]

I'm quite full of useful information, though I can't help but think you might be too- hmm? But if there was something you'd dedicate some--- New Years goal to, what would it be?

[paintjobs]

Never doubt it, when it comes to the right topic.

As for a New Years goal, if you insist on being so shy about it... I think I'd like to drive through Europe. Italy, maybe. I've always appreciated their roads, they're wonderful for racing.

[debauchewy]

Racing? [Brows up, tho-] I can see the appeal. Are you registered? Haven't they been making a buzz about the possibility of allowed international travel?

[paintjobs]

Not really. [ His face and voice both go flat. ] But neither do I have a way to get there. So, one step at a time.

[debauchewy]

Well if you're 'allowed', you just pay to fly there.

[paintjobs]

What? On a commercial plane? [ sneer!!! this is clearly the worst idea he's ever heard. ] Please. No, I'd be finding another way.

[debauchewy]

Clearly convenient isn't your style then. You could always pay for first class.

[paintjobs]

I've seen the movies. Humans have invented a truly miserable form of travel by planes, even in first class.

[debauchewy]

It's true, but better to get there quickly so you can finally indulge in what you want to. Otherwise you're just putting off your goals due to a little suffering, hm?

[paintjobs]

I'd prefer to achieve my goals fully, not settle for a half-hearted compromise.

[debauchewy]

So your goal is to ride there in class as well as be there in class, hm? And how would you prefer to fly there?

[paintjobs]

I'd accept nothing less.

Now, ideally I could call in a favor from a fellow Cybertronian... but we're a little short on jets at the moment.

[debauchewy]

Cybertronians- there's that word again. Are there many here?

[paintjobs]

Less than there were. And don't worry, we're not likely to attempt to take over the planet any time soon.

[debauchewy]

People do seem to just up and disappear here often, don't they? It makes planning anything a bit difficult. [A sigh. Safe to say considering Chrollo's leave and him knowing of it now. He'd say the same for Gon if he knew of that as well.]

I hadn't been worrying about that. [Though maybe if you did it might be more fun here, just saying- or er- not saying.]

[paintjobs]

I've noticed. Inconsiderate, isn't it?

Oh, good. I'll let you know if any of the really volatile ones show up and start warranting any worry.

[debauchewy]

Please, I might be inclined to intervene. [Or watch. Applaud, help. Hard to say.]
