★ 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.]

[deadtective]

No, I'm pretty sure the topic at hand was you rocking the cafeteria lunch lady look. Can't wait to see that in action!

[unbreaker]

IM NOT GONNA BE WEARING NO FUCKING HAIRNET HAZEL BUT UR GONNA NEED A FUCKING BODYCAST BY THE END OF THIS

[deadtective]

Going for the swimcaps instead, then? That's a risky move, I don't know how it'll pan out for you.

[unbreaker]

im gonna enjoy taking u out of the running

[deadtective]

You know I'm going to be turning powers off, right? You're never going to touch me. Never.

[can you hear her cackling through the text? because it's pretty loud.]

[unbreaker]

im not gonna need my powers to kick your ass

[deadtective]

You have absolutely no chance. I'm saying this lovingly, because I don't want to see you cry at the end of the day.

[unbreaker]

i seem to recall u being the bigger crybaby

[deadtective]

Not during wartime.

[unbreaker]

and uve never seen me put up a rl fight b4

[deadtective]

That's a nice way to try and cover all those blowouts you've had after the fact. I'd probably believe you if I hadn't dealt most of them.

[unbreaker]

what r u even talking about

[deadtective]

Oh, are we not counting video games? Weak.

[unbreaker]

we're not NOT counting them but u dont always beat me at them either

and that wasnt a blowout
that was

the game glitched and i was frustrated!!

[deadtective]

Frustrated over being repeatedly murdered, maybe.

[unbreaker]

whatever! the outcome will b different this time

[deadtective]

Sure will! You'll have someone to cling to as you go down in flames for a change.

[unbreaker]

its kinda sad how much ur underestimating me and hisoka

[deadtective]

Considering I'm pretty sure I just formed one of the most morally unhinged alliances when it comes to competitions...not really.

[unbreaker]

u keep thinking that

[deadtective]

This is going to be an awfully embarrassing post for you to look back on, damn. So confident and innocent, so untouched by the horror of paintwar.

[unbreaker]

and when u lose i'll b sure to frame ur bogus shit talking and slap it up on ur wall

[deadtective]

Like I won't notice your lumbering ass trying to put that up.

[unbreaker]

u gotta leave the house sometime
