maskormenace | ★ 007 | Video (Backdated to June 30th)

[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.]

Maybe not, but you sure as hell can keep it to yourself!

whatever u make friends just as easily but u just live in denial

You take that back, I do no such thing!!

nope!

YOU CAN'T PROVE IT

im living breathing proof

One friend. One.

One really obnoxious friend, I might add.

looks like chrollo counts too

and im sure u got others idk y ur so determined to pretend u dont

You can't count my surrogate mother, that's something only desperate losers do.

I'm not pretending anything! I'm just trying to keep you from distorting my image!

oh man do u ever sit back and really listen to yourself sometimes? its hilarious

I'M BEING SERIOUS YOU SHITBAG

so am i hes not ur real mom or even ur mom on paper so he totes counts as a friend

For someone screaming about bonds you're awfully quick to slice up the ones I actually have.

im not slicing them up im just making sure ur not overlooking their various aspects

You mean like their maternal aspects? Their familial qualities? Their nurturing traits?

...uh sure.

what im saying is that theres nothing actually wrong with having ur family as ur friends too. but if u did have a problem with that sort of thing, the fact that its not official should clear that up.

neway the fact remains: ur more likable than u think so im sure u have more friends than u let on

That's only barely true, considering that I usually tell people I don't have any.

[a lie! but a sweet one, because she's a little too embarrassed to let Josuke know she openly calls him her best friend to strangers.]

i see how it is

I doubt that.

no no i do

im not worth bragging about im not a good enough friend 4 u

ur ashamed of me

Are you trying to guilt me? Because it's not going to work.

im just stating the facts

Those aren't facts, that's emotional blackmail. I should know, I do it all the time.

probably not something u should admit to hazel

The best thing about blackmail is that you can't do a goddamn thing about it. Let everyone know!! It's not changing anything!
