005 ♣ VIDEO ♠ Choice

[debauchewy]

[Ah, when was the last time he posted to this thing- it feels like ages, though it's only been a month or so, how interesting, time does fly here despite being dreadfully idle during a majority of it. And if he recalls, he wasn't even playing 'himself' really in his last message here, more just to pass the time. Of course this new post he plans will be nothing but nonsense--

or seem it anyway.]

[You can tell a lot about someone by what they have to say after all, especially during games.]

[The video shows what appear to be legs and feet. The camera stares down the legs of his white harem pants and shows his feet, crossed at the ankles up on some chair beside him, in atlantic blue high heels. Hisoka seems to be at some cafe, there's a rather pink looking tea cup at his side on a table.]

Let's play a game, shall we? I'm sure many of us looking at the network for now have nothing better to do. Have you ever played 'Would You Rather?' It relies on creativity and a degree of forethought. [And can be a lot more indepth and profound than one might think. Or so he hopes it will be.]

You create two situations and ask which someone would prefer. Shall I start? Perhaps something simple to get our feet wet.

[His legs uncross, and cross in the opposite way, a hand with bright, long, clawed nails appears and picks up the cup for a moment before setting it back down.]

Would you rather- to lose a hand forever or a foot forever?

video; forgive her wording, she comes from a blunt, insensitive time

[givetheslip]

Hand. I can still wield a sword with my remaining hand, but where I come from I'd be lucky to make a living from begging if I were a cripple.

video; Oh no problem at all

[debauchewy]

Wouldn't you still be crippled without a hand?

video

[enustari]

A foot, if I had to. I need both hands for my work.

video

[debauchewy]

I suppose you could always just work from home. A wheel chair then? You'd still be impressive, even sitting down.

[ He dislikes that this topic is taken lightly. Scars are important. Missing limbs, even more so. ]

it depends

why were they lost ?

Video

[debauchewy]

[Hey now, he's lost some limbs and got over it, infact, he let them be taken for a good show. Get over it.]

That's not really the point, say it's merely a choice you have, you must choose one. The choice isn't choose one of these or something else happens. It's merely a situation where these two options are the only ones you have.

[lackey]

Foot. I like my hands more than I like my feet. I mean, my feet are fine for feet but... I still like my hands better.

Would you rather... Uhh... Be really hot but everybody hates you or be really ugly but everybody loves you?

voice;

[debauchewy]

So favoritism comes into play with you?

Ah- hm. [Well considering the first one is definitely true. And eeeven if it wasn't, hate usually leads to much more interesting and aggressive scenarios- That and love was always more entertaining from afar, he'll say-]

The first I think, though not because I'd get to be attractive.

[voice]

[outlawrain]

...I'll go for the unnamed option. I'd rather only have one eye.

[Oh and his voice sounds pleased. Moses don't be a fucking cheater.]

voice

[debauchewy]

There are no other options here, aren't you going to play by the rules?

[Wow, leave.]

video.

[melavasomniar]

A hand. It only takes one hand to do magic.

video.

[debauchewy]

Not for everyone, in fact, someone has already said they need both for it. What sort of magic only needs for one hand?

[Magic, he imagines, that comes more from within or the mind than it does precise gestures and signs. He'd like to know more. What a poor way to find out though. It'd be better to get a personal demonstration.]

[cephalothorax]

You really are bored, aren't you.

[debauchewy]

Is this game so boring? I'm not used to being so transparent.

[Can you hear the smile in his voice? Hello you. But can you really say that? So smart, surely you know he's just fishing right now. This game is more than it seems, even for just a word game.]

Will you be answering? What can I take from you forever, Chrollo.

Video

[logicunlocked]

What a shitty choice, man. That kinda stuff's traumatic.

I'd ask you if you'd choose your eye or your ear but I didn't get that choice, I got to lose both.

Video

[debauchewy]

It's quite shitty, but so is the game. You're made to weigh your options. You can easily create more enjoyable situations though, I'd we continue to play.

Both? Such a weathered man. But has it stopped you?

You still need to answer my question. Or does the severity of it bother you?

voice;

[flamels]

[A hand or a foot? Hisoka, please.]

Been there and done that. Both, actually. Right arm, left leg.

[Ed, that is not how to play. Even if he is still recovering from the Swear In and everything else.]

voice;

[debauchewy]

[Oh come now, in the scope of things, what is a hand or foot? Besides, its all hypothetical. It's not as though he will chase you down and take the one you choose. Or... Will he? That said, itd still be in good fun for him.]

Ah but this time you can never have them back. I've seen your toys, Ed.

So which one could you say farewell to for the rest of your life?

[Considering the swear in, this is definitely a bit dark. But isn't it nice to make light of a hypothetical dark?]

video;

[keybearing]

Eh? Lose a hand or a foot? I don't know. You need your feet for walking and running. To move around. And use your hands all the time. That's a tough one. But...I guess there's those fake ones, right? Prosthetics? Like Winry makes. Having that wouldn't make it so bad either way.

[Not even realizing he technically still hasn't. Actually answered yet. But it's something?]

Re: video;

[debauchewy]

[It's so cute how he thinks aloud about it. Hisoka's smile peels a little wider, listening. He's a very good listener.]

Oh no, you don't get a replacement. This is for keeps. So which could you justify losing? Is it more useful to have both hands, or to walk?

[orions_shadow]

Arm. It'd have to be the whole thing unless I can get a robot arm replacement.

Then I can learn how to run on three legs and still walk on two.

[debauchewy]

It can be only the hand, and no replacement. You will live without its assistance forever.

Oh? What an intriguing thing to say. So you use all four? Then you're not human, correct? How funny if you still were~

[Audio]

[hands4healing]

It doesn't matter. I'd build myself a new one. Or anyone else who needed one.

[Audio]

[debauchewy]

Ah ah- did you not hear me? Forever. You can't make yourself a new one to replace it in this scenario.

Video

[excitababble]

[ Wow this guy sure has an interesting sense of style. Kangmo might need a few seconds to take that in before actually replying to his question. ]

Was that pun intentional?

[ A sigh. God it was bad whether he meant it or not. ]

And foot. ... Do you want us to ask you one next or do you have lots of these to just toss out at us?

Re: Video

[debauchewy]

[His heels and harem pants is only a hint of how he fully dresses, but yes he has a style all right. It's... Something.]

Well don't point it out, are you trying to embarrass me?

A foot? And why is that?

I did say I would merely start. It's more fun if we both think of them and ask, don't you think?

voice

[sunasuna]

[Pfft.]

I'd lose the foot. One hook is enough.

video

[debauchewy]

Hm! [A hand moves up, briefly on screen before it's gone, up to cover his mouth at his quick laugh.]

Oh- that really would be something. You'd look something of a joke then, I rather like a single hook too.

text

[superposition]

Oh, good old "False Dichotomy: The Game." Have to admit, this is the first I've seen it played by sober people.

Video

[debauchewy]

We could always drink and play, would you prefer it?

video

[unbreaker]

A hand.

[Josuke's answer is one delivered with confidence, but the truth is...he'd rather not lose a hand or a foot. As a matter of fact, this game is morbid as far as he's concerned! He wouldn't even be participating if it weren't for Hisoka being the one who decided to play.]

video

[debauchewy]

Hello Josuke.

Why a hand? You value your mobility more?

video;

[trickstar]

You know, you had work today. I need new employees...

video;

[debauchewy]

Oh did I?

Hm... [Sips.... tea... Good luck firing him, he's the best dealer you have.]

video.

[glowsferatu]

[ Kanaya isn't sure which to bother over more, how deliberately set the communicator must be to get that shot, imagining someone going to all the trouble in a public cafe while people were watching, or just how unfortunate she finds those pants. ]

I've done without a hand before. It wouldn't be nearly as bothersome as being unable to walk. [ Plus, it always leaves the potential for a chainsaw replacement. ]

video.

[debauchewy]

[Well first of all, it's not really a deliberate shot. Buuut- those pants are a little unfortunate. Still, they're comfortable though, and really, harem pants aren't so out of style, are they?]

Seems the most logical choice, doesn't it? Walking really is such a convenience. [Though he tortures himself in high heels constantly, poor feet.]
