★ 007 | Video (Backdated to June 30th)

[unbreaker]

[The camera is flicked on, already expertly focused. Josuke's doing, in case you wondered. But then, he's a teenager. He ought to be experienced if only for all the selfies he's taken!

Sitting next to him at a table outside an ice cream shop called What's the Scoop? is Hisoka. Unlike Josuke, the magician is busy with a gumball popsicle and doesn't appear to be paying any attention to the camera at the moment. The teenager, on the other hand, is already ready and eager to talk a little 'business' with the network...]

Okay, my friend and I had this amazing idea a while back! [Josuke throws an arm around Hisoka's neck and tugs him closer in a headlock. This involves you, buddy! Let the people see how amped you are!] See, we've been wanting to play some paintball, but then we got to thinking...why not make it an open invite? For imPorts, I mean.

[There's no jump at Josuke's sudden headlock but Hisoka definitely stops eating his ice cream to almost uncomfortably stare at the foreign limb slung over him. Only to then look down to see half of the popsicle he was eating now on the ground. Thanks Josuke.]

Mm... [A pause before he glances up to put in his two cents, just dropping the rest of his popsicle and the stick on the ground.]

An open invitation, yes, and we've already chosen the location. All you have to do is pick your own partner... or partners. It really doesn't matter how many of you there are. Though, to have the most fun? The more the merrier.

Yeah, and like, how many of you can resist an opportunity to pelt this guy in the face with paintballs, am I right? [Josuke nods in Hisoka's direction before sliding his arm off the other man's shoulders, though of course his smirk remains in place.] I'll be honest, though, 'cause I feel like it wouldn't be fair if I didn't warn you guys... Hisoka and I? We're gonna be on a team, so if you think we're gonna make it easy for ya, think again.

[Leaning forward to pick up the camera, Josuke cocks his head to the side, eyes bright with unbridled fun and mischief.]

If you're interested and you think you can keep up, then be ready for the 18th. Hisoka or I will text you the location the day before the game's on.

Oh...and one final thing. [Are you guys still listening? If you plan to play, you should be!] It's anything goes as long as it ain't lethal!

[And that's, as they say, that. Josuke hangs up, though not before a horrified yelp from the teenager can be heard...]

Fuck! Hisoka, I think you got ice cream on my new shoes!



[OOC: Quick edit! The post has been backdated to June 30th for scheduling reasons, and the date of the game itself has been moved to July 18th.]

Nothing's technically lethal when we all come back to life, isn't it?

Which is to say, I'm going to murder all of you and defend my territory with ammo forged in your blood.

[the second part is a general preemptive shit talk aimed at anyone even maybe considering coming. psychout game is strong with Hazel.]

[debauchewy]

i like the way u think. ♥ anything goes is usually so much better. will u b murdering us all by urself or with a friend? ♠

[deadtective]

I'm counting myself as like, four people, so teaming up with someone would just be grossly unfair. I am accepting demoralized refugees about halfway through the slaughter, however.

[debauchewy]

such an ego, lets just hope it doesnt get in the way, i wouldnt want anything 2 obscure me from such intensity and cause u 2 miss. ♣

[deadtective]

Don't worry, I've spent a while honing my shit talking. I can multitask it no problem.

[unbreaker]

wont b able to shittalk much if u got a mouth full of paint just saying

[deadtective]

If I start eating paint it's not gonna be from the guy in the hairnet. Just saying.

[unbreaker]

THE FUCK U SAYING ABOUT MY HAIR?

[deadtective]

That you'd probably throw yourself off a cliff if you got a little paint in it, so I doubt you're going to be looking very stylish for this brawl.

[debauchewy]

[Oh Josuke. Get intense like that for this and you might end up being Hisoka's own distraction.]

[debauchewy]

multitasking? and here i was going 2 try my best 2 put all my focus on u. it just feels unfair now. ♦

[deadtective]

Hey, well, that's the danger of open invitations. You run the risk of letting an unstoppable steamroller in.

[debauchewy]

on the contrary, i want 2 let unstoppable steamrollers in.

ur hazel, right? its so nice 2 finally meet u. ♥

[deadtective]

Oh, that's never what I want to hear from a stranger. Josuke's a fucking liar, don't listen to a word he says.

[AFTER TALKING WITH JOSUKE AND HISOKA...]

[HEAVY SQUINTING...]

What's the catch here?

[trickstar]

i dont want them to win

[deadtective]

Fair enough. But I can't discriminate when I null powers, so plan around that.

text;

[debauchewy]

nulling powers? y would u do something so boring?

[On second thought can she not come?]

[deadtective]

It encourages creative thinking among power gamers. If you don't like you'll just have to get good.

text;

[debauchewy]

its not a matter of being good with my powers or not. removing what every1 can do really takes the the potential 4 greatness out of it. how depressing. ♠

[deadtective]

What, I'm supposed to not do what I can so everyone else can showboat? I don't think so.

text;

[trickstar]

what you cant pick who you null or not??

text;

[deadtective]

No, it's an area of effect kind of thing. I guess it's to balance out the fact I don't need to touch anyone to get it going or have a set number of people I can do at once?

[trickstar]

then ill just stay away from you, but we're still on the same team. anything goes, right?
