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?

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

[enustari]

[Honestly, if she lost a limb, she'd probably just scrap the whole body. Start over.]

Can you imagine me sitting still all the time? No, there are other ways to be up and around. Even on one foot.

[debauchewy]

[That always works.]

Well a prosthetic still isn't allowed, how would you work around it?

[enustari]

Your scenario doesn't prevent me from using magic.

[debauchewy]

I said forever! So you can't do anything about it, it's just gone. bubuu- not allowed to get it back in any way.

[enustari]

Did I say I was going to do that? I could fly, you know. [That would be a flagrantly wasteful use of blood, but hey, she could do it.]

[debauchewy]

Touche! This is true, if only we all had that option.

Your turn.

[enustari]

Hm- [She takes a moment to think about it, tapping one finger against her lips, and then,]

Would you rather be unable to speak or unable to lie?

[debauchewy]

How difficult a question to answer. [But really it says a lot that he needs to consider, lying is really useful after all... But he supposes he could also just go with not speaking. It wasn't 'have to tell the truth' it was simply 'unable to lie'. Meaning he could still "lie" by omission.]

Unable to lie, I value speaking too much. Sign language wouldn't nearly be as impacting.

[enustari]

[Lying is pretty great, but she'd have to sacrifice it as well. Can't do magic without speaking.]

No, it wouldn't. And I have a hard time imagining you silent.

Do you have another one for me?

[debauchewy]

Me silent? I'm sure many would like the imagery, hehe.

My turn- okay.

Would you rather any wound you do to someone else is inflicted on you, or to only be able to wound others by first wounding yourself?

[enustari]

The latter. Assuming the damage to myself wouldn't need to match the damage I intended to do. [It's a crude version of how her magic works already and she's not squeamish about self-harm. She'd prefer to bleed other people and leave herself out of it, but bleeding to cast is better than a straight-up eye-for-an-eye exchange. Hard to kill if it just comes back at you.]

[debauchewy]

Ah I left that open, you chose well. [A smile. Though it says a great deal that she'd want the choice that made it easier to hurt others. Well, he already knew that.]

A small cut for a large wound is reasonable under my wording. How predictable, Elsa, hehe.

[enustari]

I'm only being practical. [The other option would require either superhuman healing abilities or a dedication to non-violence, and she possesses neither.]
