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.]

[paintjobs]

Oh, did you get some kind of... [ he gestures vaguely ] Stupendous power from this place, or something? Because if not, I'm not sure there's much you could do. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[debauchewy]

Well if I did I certainly wouldn't tell you here, now would I?

[paintjobs]

Now, there's a first. [ he smiles ] It seems like most around here are only too eager to go and brag about it.

[debauchewy]

To be fair, I don't lose anything from people knowing what I can do- and i doubt it'd be difficult to find out if you research enough but ah--

No, most here certainly do like hiding their hand. At least from my point of view. Though the right person asking and plenty will spill.

[paintjobs]

You must run in tight-lipped circles. It seems like there's a new plea up every day, outlining some new power and asking for advice with it.

[debauchewy]

I've seen a few, ah- maybe I've just been distracted lately. [I wonder with what.]

[paintjobs]

By cards, apparently. It's probably a better use of time.

[debauchewy]

I don't have much else to do right now, and they're far more eventful than this place has been as of late. Lucky for me!

[paintjobs]

There's a cityful of things to do, if you have the right approach to it.

[debauchewy]

Oh, and what is the right approach? I have to say, I never was given a lot of time once I arrived here to find out how this place works. I could use a little help~

[paintjobs]

[ wait a second is he missing something here. there's a frown and a pause where he goes back to review Hisoka's post, and... wait, is that a cell? he's still squinting at it when he says, experimentally: ] Well, what's standing in your way?

[debauchewy]

Take a guess.

[paintjobs]

[ the confusion fades as he decides he was right, and a smile takes its place. ]

Been busy, haven't you? Just what did you go and do?

[ someone doesn't watch the news or follow the network very closely, clearly ]

[debauchewy]

Oh, so curious all of a sudden.

[paintjobs]

One does have to find ways to keep occupied.

[debauchewy]

Weren't you the one who said there was a city full of things to do here?

[paintjobs]

Certainly. And here's one of them.

[debauchewy]

I did something bad. [Shrugs.]

[paintjobs]

Cagey, aren't we?

[debauchewy]

I'd laugh if that were funny.

[paintjobs]

[ that's ok, knock out is more than happy to chuckle for him. his puns are great!!! ]

Weeell, like you said, I'm sure I could look it up.

[debauchewy]

[It's like another Joseph, yay.]

But talking is a lot more fun. [Sigh.]

[paintjobs]

Only if it actually happens.

[debauchewy]

Implying-?

[paintjobs]

Well, are you going to tell me about it?
