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

Reliving my childhood hasn't ever been something that interested me. [So no, not okay. Pissy as hell.]

[sunasuna]

Not tough. I'd just prefer to stay an adult.

[Also...]

No. [He literally has his coat wrapped around him like a blanket right now. Well... one of his coats, anyway. This one is nice enough, but he won't care as much if he turns it into sand by accident. Either way, being seen like this is something he'd rather avoid if he can.]

[sunasuna]

[Wow, rude.]

Shut up! I'm not scared, I just don't like showing my face on the network. [... Partially true. But also an excuse.]

private; video

[sunasuna]

[Fffff but if he just leaves it at that then people will assume he totally was scared which he absolutely isn't he just. Doesn't want to deal with this.

So fine. Crocodile goes ahead and makes this private before turning on the video function. And there he is - tiny, huddled up in that massive fucking coat, and chomping a cigar.

Doesn't say anything, just glares.]

private; video

[chrysalust]

[Wooo, bullying successful.]

[Gosh Crocodile IS tiny though, tinier than him, though Hisoka had always been a bit tall anyway. He smiles, ducking his head down slightly and leaning closer to his communicator.]

Oh, you're so cute like this. [Smiles wider.] That look, you can't know what it does to me, Crocodile~

private; video

[sunasuna]

[Definitely tiny. He still has several years to go before he's back to being over eight feet tall.

Also, ugh.]

Don't call me that. [He's not cute he'll mess you up!!!!]

private; video

[chrysalust]

The truth can be difficult, I understand. I suppose we'll just have to hope this doesn't last much longer. [Though he kind of hopes he gets a little more time like this. It's rather novel and entertaining.]

[For now.]

What're you wearing? Isn't that too big now? [Says the naked kid on the other line.]

private; video

[sunasuna]

Any amount of time spent like this is too much. [So very, very grumpy.]

And it's a coat. Everything is too big. [Come on, Hisoka, you've seen him at his regular size. As if anything he owns would fit a child.]

private; video

[chrysalust]

Surely you just need to find your silver lining.

Mmm, want me to get something for you to wear? [Yes yes, he knows, he's having the same problem after all.]

private; video

[sunasuna]

... [Sighs. Yes, clothes would be definitely be needed, especially since he doesn't actually know how long this will last.]

I'd appreciate that. Just don't get me something you would wear. [He doesn't want to look like a clown or a teenage girl, thanks.]

private; video

[chrysalust]

Aww, why not? You don't like how I dress? Were you this rude as a child?

private; video

[sunasuna]

I'd rather not stand out right now. [Being this small is humiliating enough. Being covered in obnoxiously bright colours would only make things worse.]

private; video

[chrysalust]

I'll pick something that fits you, of course~ I'm guessing you're a fan of black?

private; video

[sunasuna]

Black or grey will be fine, thank you.

private; video

[chrysalust]

So booooring. You should take advantage of that new face you have, I just want to touch it.

private; video

[sunasuna]

Not now. [Maybe when he's back to being his proper age again.

He looks down and off-screen and... damn it, one of his feet is turning into sand again. Turning off video and switching back to text before there's a chance for that to start happening to his face.]

Anyway, here's how to get to my apartment [DIRECTIONS GO HERE] come by when you're done.

private; video

[chrysalust]

[A blink, questioning look.]

Mmn, okay. [Playing hard to get, gosh. But he DOES get to go see him now, or whenever he picks up clothes. Nice.]

private; text

[sunasuna]

Good, I'll see you then. [And in the meantime he'll just... try and get this under control.]

-> Action?

[chrysalust]

[Knoooock knock.]

Action

[sunasuna]

[Hears that knock, and Crocodile goes to open the door. He's no longer draped in the coat from before (which is now a pile of sand in the middle of the floor), but instead wearing one of the shirts he wears as an adult. Like everything else he has, it's far too big for him now - one sleeve hanging off the side of his shoulder and threatening to slip right off, while the bottom of it reaches his feet.]

Hisoka. I appreciate you coming by. [Somewhere in his apartment, another sound can be heard.]

Come inside. [And he'll step aside, awkwardly clutching his shirt so it doesn't fall off his shoulders, to let him in.]

aaAAAAHHHH I LOVE WHEN THEY DO THAT AHH

[chrysalust]

[Ah, he's still cute in person and Hisoka smiles wide upon seeing him. He's still wearing Josuke's print sweater but now has on some slim jeans and tennis shoes, all fitting his new size. Along with him is a plastic bag, swinging it a little as he steps in and immediately moves to get he and Crocodile's faces close.]

Mmmhnn~ No problem. [Goes to

pat

at Croc's cheek.]
