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

[chrysalust]

I do like pink and blue. I've been trying to mix it up more lately, any ideas?

[Safe answers are lame.]

[cephalothorax]

Whatever strikes your fancy. Personally, I enjoyed the black.

[But you knew that, didn't you?]

[chrysalust]

[His eyes flick up, a look in them, impish, smiling to Chrollo before he glances down again and laughs to himself, closing his eyes. Recollecting.]

Nh- you certainly did. Perhaps I'll revisit it when I've gotten back my better pair of legs. Are you more a fan of leather, cloth, lace, or PVC? Or something else entirely? [A smirk, looking up again before he takes another bite of his ice cream. Gosh, taking requests now? Maybe he has fallen for the guy. Pft.]

[Nah, he knows he looked good before. Still- it wasn't the sort of clothing he'd wear that often. Colours were more fun. Though maybe he could still work colours in there... He'd have to do more research on that style in general.]

[cephalothorax]

Oh, I'm a fan of all of them. it's just a matter of usage.

[He just kind of. Looks down at the ice cream.]

In your normal physical state, I'm sure you can make the best of any of them.

[chrysalust]

How flattering. [A smile, suggesting he agrees. Hisoka's quite good when it comes to fashion, even if he usually chooses to dress in a near ridiculous way. Pushing 30 and purposely dressing like some clown trash...]

[Another few bites of his ice cream and he picks up the bowl and leans back, holding it close to his chest as he scoops up another bite and sighs, relishing the sweet sting in his mouth.]

[He points his spoon to him.]

You should let me pick more than a tie for you eventually.

[cephalothorax]

[Hisoka is definitely enjoying that ice cream. It's kind of cute, actually. ugh, everything about him is cute today. It's a little irritating - it's too easy to pull people's strings when you're adorable.]

Oh? I don't see myself as a bright colors sort.

[No, he'd probably look ridiculous in anything like that, really. Just thinking about trying to take himself seriously in harem pants makes him frown.]

[chrysalust]

It's difficult to say if you never try! [have another pout, he's certainly going to milk the 'cute' as long as he can. Though- the way he licks that blue smear away from his lips doesn't exactly come off as cute.]

[More. Creepy. And weird probably.]

I wouldn't make you wear it for long.

[cephalothorax]

[...Chrollo's mostly used to the weirdness of Hisoka. But he's also used to all the weirdness being done by a 28 year old man. as of now, he just. Eats more ice cream.]

You should try speaking appropriately while you're like this. Especially in public.

[chrysalust]

[A roll of his eyes, but sure, okay, Chrollo wants to talk to a kid? Fine.]

Well if you're gonna dress like this and look stupid- [Points his spoon.] Then you should try other stuff too.

[cephalothorax]

Ah? What's wrong with my clothes?

[sorry are you insulting his sense of style.]

And I said appropriate. I'm sure you know what I meant.

[chrysalust]

You look boring right now.

[Pft, appropriate. Sorry what DOES that mean. You mean like a kid right. Appropriate for someone the age of 12 or whatever he is.]

[cephalothorax]

[...okay that's true. And Chrollo even laughs.]

Hmm.... well. It's a costume. Just pretend it's Halloween.

[And Chrollo is... attending a party dressed as a college student, clearly.

A little smile.]

Of course, I have more interesting choices for more interesting circumstances than having ice cream with a little boy.

[chrysalust]

Little boy! I'm not little at all. [A huff, brows up, forcing another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.]

You look better in more interesting choices though, I've always liked seeing you. [You AS you.]

[cephalothorax]

Yes... I prefer that, myself.

[Idly eating ice cream.]

I have been considering changing my image a bit. Perhaps I can be less conservative sometimes.

[chrysalust]

Mh? Like to what? [Gonna get away with a leather jacket sometimes?]

If you get a motorcycle you could wear all the black you wanted! [A laugh, nearing half done on this sundae bowl.]

[cephalothorax]

Tch. I have a hovering vespa.

However... I am expanding from colognes into general fashion...

[Hey, if he took on a few dark clothing clients, he could totally justify the hot topic look.]

[chrysalust]

A hovering vespa really doesn't scream 'goth' or 'cool' to me. But I suppose it does say something along the lines of 'nerd'.

[He smiles. Nerd, because man, how many books do you even finish in a day? Would you? If someone would just let you read.]

Oh, are you... [A downcast look.] I'll be seeing even more of you then. [because he'll look... he knows he will.]

[cephalothorax]

[You probably don't want to know the answer to that but let's just say he knows a lot about sharks now.]

I don't really try to be goth....

[Try being the operative word here. He just is.]

But yes. It seems you will be! Maybe I'll try for a nice underwear ad.

[Chrollo in his briefs on billboards, everyone wants that, right?]

[chrysalust]

You wouldn't dare. [A pout, puckering her lips in tight.]

[cephalothorax]

No?

[lololol no, he totally would. totally. he's thinking about it right now.]

[chrysalust]

[...pout.]

[cephalothorax]

[Hi, just eating his ice cream.]

That expression won't dissuade me. Or as you trying to encourage me? Hm.

[chrysalust]

Are you suggesting I'm pouting for yo to do it? I don't want to waste my money on anymore magazines.

[cephalothorax]

You don't really need any.

[chrysalust]

For those hours I don't have your company, I can't steal all your time, hm? [Or can he?]

[The joke is he doesn't talk to Chrollo for days after this.]
