003 ♣ VIDEO ♠ Change (Age Plot)

[chrysalust]

[A shirtless boy of about twelve appears on the screen, eyes bright gold, lips puckered in a smirk below a light amalgam of freckles dotting his nose and cheeks. Familiar to some but it might become a lot more apparent who it is once he speaks.]

How long do you think I would be able to manage dealing in my casino like this, hm~? [A chuckle, the boy's tone sly- sultry. A tone a twelve year old really shouldn't have, Hisoka'a voice definitely higher than his usual but pulling in the same seductively coy way it always has.]

[He glances down, inspecting his hands unseen off the video. While this is certainly strange and he'd like to know why the hell he's this age again, it is a bit entertaining.]

Mmm... Will flirting at this age become cute now? What do you think I could get away with saying? I certainly have to continue to please my players.

[Another pause before he switches to text.]

but i definitely think emoticons like this r much cuter being used by an adorable boy o u o

Video woo woooo

[chrysalust]

[He moves to slide a hand over his chest, sighing deep. That voice kind of- eats through you, doesn't it? Shakes at his sternum and makes his skin prickle. He likes it.]

I'd never plan any trouble, but as a child I must make sure to get into a little mischief, don't you agree? Everyone has roles.

...Ab-duxel? [Squints, cocking his head a little.]

[abduxel]

I'd expect nothing less from you, Hisoka, trouble-maker.

[If Abduxel knew any pop-culture, this is where he'd say THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM. But, he doesn't. He does hope, though, that there's no way to connect this conversation to his public identity, Matthew Lin; now that Hisoka has said Abduxel here in public, he has to be careful to go by that always, while he's like this.]

[There's a rumbling, far-away growl under his voice, like a subway train passing underneath. His personality is... a little different.]

Yes, it's me. A taste of my future. And apparently, a taste of your past... another one, that is.

[chrysalust]

I imagine you're speaking through some poor ImPort's communicator right now. Did you steal something you weren't supposed to?

[He certainly did drop the bomb by saying your name. And people can certainly link this account Matthew's speaking to him as well as this conversation. So, maybe a littler lying will help.]

You always seem to take what you want, mm~ [Smiling, his lips peeling.]

Just a taste- [Sighs, tipping his head back.] Though- i do feel a little more... energetic.

[abduxel]

[Cat's out of the bag. Old!Abduxel can't be assed to care as much. Normal!Abduxel might be a little more upset when he returns. But, he goes with the lie that he's taken this communicator from Matthew.]

Yes. A handsome ImPort. He let me borrow it. I suppose I look intimidating. [That laugh again.]

I've always exercised so much restraint, actually, you know. There's a lot more to take, and I don't.

Hm, what did you do as a child? I can't imagine what you were like. Besides what I have seen. Did you go to school?

[chrysalust]

I wanna see...

[Ngh, what you've seen. Don't bring up his memories so easily. A small breath, glancing to the side.]

No, I didn't.

[abduxel]

[He ignores the first part.]

What, then? Maybe I need to look again and find the rest, I could reach deeper now. I guess that would be rude of me.

Why has this happened?

[chrysalust]

[Buuu no. Let him, you sound so interesting right now...]

You wouldn't... [Actually looking a little more serious right now. A threat like that, it's one he actually dislikes.]

I'm not sure- [Glancing away.] Wise to keep your eyes on the network, I doubt it will be long before someone mentions a reason, perhaps an accident, a test? Hn- that or the news. [Shrugs.]

[abduxel]

[Though tone is hard to register in this chorus of deep, lilting voices, he says this earnestly.]

I'm not sure I could stop myself. If I saw you. I just want to look, Hisoka, that's all. I won't hurt you. Why don't you like sharing?

[chrysalust]

[Mmm, he doesn't like this conversation anymore.]

You're bothering me now, Abduxel.

[abduxel]

I didn't think you could be bothered. You always seem so sure of yourself. ...But I won't come for you. Don't come for me either. [If possible, there's a smile in the voice, like some half of the many voices are cheerful while the others still sound like doomsday.] Unless you change your mind.

[chrysalust]

Everyone can be bothered. [Said lightly, but he'd rather drop the subject, and does, in favour of giving another pout, lifting his chin.]

But what if I want you? Won't you do things I like for me if I seek you out?

I could always call you.

[abduxel]

[There is a long pause, gathering whispers and growls before he speaks again.]

I'm tempted.

[Another pause.]

If you need to break the call, smear the writing.

[chrysalust]

[It is quite interesting to listen too, he'll give him that. So Abduxel was affected as well? Though it's hard to tell if he was aged up or down. Doesn't he only change as he ages while in Hell? Or would he do so anyway considering he is influenced by it at all? Curiosity definitely still gotten.]

And why would I need to do that?

[abduxel]

[Abduxel doesn't answer, instead breaking connection - the feed ends.]

[chrysalust]

[RUDE!!!!!]

[No but- now he's incredibly curious.]

[abduxel]
