i got separated from my friend somehow but hes gotta be here somewhere. if u see a kid named gon that wears all green and is way to cheerful lemme know.

oh and what happens if u just skip school? theyre telling me i have to go to school when the new semester starts. ive never went to school before though and it sounds like a waste of time.

[Something about the tight-knit government around here, how he arrived, and everything they knew about him just rubbed Killua the wrong way. Normally he wouldn't even care to ask, but he has to wonder if there's some ridiculously disproportionate punishment for playing hooky. He's been here all of a day and he already doesn't trust the place.

The last thing he remembers from home was using Accompany On with Gon. By all means they shouldn't have been separated, and yet they were, which is why he's convinced his friend has to be here somewhere. Not that anyone at the base would tell him.]

[Killua steps closer, toes hanging off the edge. He's grinning a little, despite himself.]

Two-

[debauchewy]

[Nothing wrong with having some fun, right?]

Three!

[And he'll step off, immediately opting to go head first, practically diving at the pavement.]

[killectric]

[Killua follows right after, his hands in his pockets and completely upright. His legs splay a bit on the way down and his shirt and shorts whips around him, but other than that he might as well be standing around for how unphased he looks.

Besides the big toothy grin, anyway.

It's a pretty long fall! So he watches Hisoka carefully for signs of slowing, or hesitation.]

[debauchewy]

[Pretty long, and Hisoka's rather

casually just

staring down at the ground.]

[He doesn't seem to be slowing down or growing at all hesitant. He's already prepared his way to brace his fall, now it's just about activating the strand of Bungee Gum at the right time.]

[killectric]

Try not to break your neck, huh! [He teases, still casually freefalling. Killua even does a lazy backflip, because he's a total show-off.

From now, he estimates he has a few seconds left before he needs to start slowing down. Because if his idea doesn't work, he doesn't want to break his legs.]

[debauchewy]

But you'd just like that, wouldn't you? [A smile, glancing to him, and then looking to the ground again.] Bad boy, I'm so scared~

[A few seconds and Killua will start to slow down but Hisoka will still be going full speed.]

[killectric]

[Why does Hisoka have to make everything weird.

Killua doesn't dignify that with an answer, instead concentrating his aura gradually at his feet so he starts to slow. He can't help a glance at Hisoka though, who's already quickly inching ahead of him towards the pavement.]

[debauchewy]

[Habit.]

[Hobby.]

[A base, general need.]

[Who knows.]

[Very quickly. He barely starts to slow down and much after Killua starts to. This is a game of both guts and skill after all. And Hisoka has a lot of both, having a sufficient amount of confidence ontop of that as well. So when he gets close?

It's close.

It's a breath away, his nose nearly touching and his heart beating fast and he feels his Bungee Gum pull and his feet and ankles before he suddenly SHOOTS back up and past Killua in a blink of an eye. Rocketing back up to the sky like a bullet.]

[Blasting off agaaaiin.]

[killectric]

[Killua comes to land just a few inches away when he finally does, but at that point Hisoka's already flung off like a rubberband--nearly having Killua forget to stick his landing in the process. Hovering there, he blinks a few times in disbelief, jaw hanging open.

Then, after a beat and feeling very robbed:] Wait, who won?!

[debauchewy]

[Hisoka obviously duh.]

[killectric]

[BUT HE BOUNCED BACK.

THAT DOESN'T COUNT.

COME BACK HERE SO HE CAN ARGUE IT.]

[debauchewy]

[Nope.avi]

[killectric]

[Whatever he's LEAVING. That's the last time he plays with a clown.]

[debauchewy]

[You'll get bored and come running back, just you wait, bouya~]
