★ 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.]

How cute. Don't worry, I'm definitely rooting for you.

[debauchewy]

Pom poms will help. [A bright smile.]

[cephalothorax]

[...laughing. yikes.]

I don't think I own any of those, but they'll be there on a spiritual level.

[debauchewy]

[Oh it's a cute image, shut up. Though really Hisoka would look better with them, let's not lie to ourselves.]

It's a good thing I have a powerful imagination then.

[cephalothorax]

[if Chrollo had pom poms, they'd be black and silver. Or maybe made from nen-enhanced webbing.]

I had noticed that about you, yes.

[debauchewy]

[But he'd look so good in a nice blue or aquamarine...]

You noticed? Are you trying to make me blush?

[cephalothorax]

[Chrollo plus colors... does not computer.]

It's difficult to miss, really.

[debauchewy]

[He probably could. Like... if he ever tried. When that day comes... long in the future...]

Well considering how close of friends we are, yes!

[cephalothorax]

[Just kind of staring, and then he just. Laughs.]

I don't even remember telling Josuke we knew each other... oh wait, no, I did. That was a while ago, though.

I'm glad - "suddenly mutual friends!" is too large a surprise to drop on someone after you've known them so long.

[debauchewy]

I think in places like this, such a thing can be rather common. Most of us are spread across states, aren't we?

But if he hadn't been told before, I doubt it'd be a problem. We are from the same world after all, Chrollo, is it surprising we're friends?

[Haaah.]

[cephalothorax]

Not at all. But it can be surprising at times, I guess. We don't have similar dispositions, but still.

[...lol.]

[debauchewy]

Opposites attract though, don't they? Not that intimacy can't be found between those of all kinds.

[:^y]

[cephalothorax]

Of course. Well...

I do think you'll be quite masterful at paintball, for the record.

[debauchewy]

Me too.

[cephalothorax]

Ahh, in fact. What if I volunteer to feed everyone afterwards?

I do have a diner, after all...

[debauchewy]

That would be very nice of you.

[Smiles, leaning his chin on both hands now.]

And very adorable.

[Adorable not- for the obvious reasons either.]

[cephalothorax]

[Awww. He smiles, laughs a little, quietly.]

Hmm. All right. Consider it an offer. You can tell Josuke, if he doesn't notice.

[debauchewy]

I'll make sure he knows. [A sly look, a smile. See you soon.]

[unbreaker]

[Free food's good, yup. But this? This whole...whatever it is they're doing? Weeeiiird.]

[debauchewy]

[Hisoka generally seems friendly with a lot of people, but yes, they do seem a little... friendl-ier.]

[cephalothorax]

[Gosh what they're just being friendly, sheesh.]
