005 ♣ VIDEO ♠ Choice

[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?

Yes, I'm easy to embarrass.

I see, a wheelchair is a viable option, yes.

Hmhm- I'd prefer the answers be thought about. 'Stupid answers' don't really appeal to me.

You might want to reconsider playing games with this many people then.

[ Getting quiet for a second. Sort of quiet... he's humming thoughtfully to himself at that reply. ]

So you're that kind of guy?

[ Can't judge a book by its cover apparently. ]

So would you like to make it a private matter then? I'd like that too.

What ever do you mean? What kind of guy does that make me?

The way you said that is a little...

[ Sighs and shakes his head. ]

And the kind of guy that takes games seriously. What else?

[ A lot else, probably. Kangmo's definitely made some assumptions here whether he's sharing them or not. ]

[Is a little what? What? Spit it out.]

Hm. [A smile at that, gesturing a hand out as he speaks, he'll catch a small glimpse of it raised from the camera.]

I do prefer my games played well. Though I've got nothing against comedy. My sense of humour is quite healthy.

[ A little what? Huh? He didn't say anything. ]

Is that so? What kind of comedy do you like then?

[ Ah, that's right... they were playing a game. ]

Would you rather be told a joke with dark humor or light humor?

[Ah right, no I suppose he didn't. He didn't say anything at all.]

Hm- [He laughs a little, how quick he picked up into their 'game' after his first question was cute.]

I suppose it would depend on the premise, though a light joke told in a 'dark' situation would make it dark, wouldn't it?

If they're both told well, a light joke would be more impressive to me. [Like when a comedian can be hilarious while still being completely clean on stage. It just seems more impressive. Dark jokes rely on the weight of being humour within darkness, while light jokes are usually clean but have to be more clever because of it.]

Ah... It makes sense. A good joke along those lines takes more effort, doesn't it?

[ Kangmo tends to be more dry humor in the neutral area anyway, though if he's leaning one way or another it's gonna be dark humor. He's never been good about light jokes.

Maybe he's just not that clever? Shame... ]

[Dry humour can be just as good. Hisoka isn't the sort to really laugh out loud much. But he means it when he says he has a sense of humour. Humour often meant being clever aftsr all, and he very much like when people were clever. Clever which could come in all types. Hisoka is surprisingly open minded.

I think so.

Hmm... A white lie to save one person or a large terrible one to save many?

A terrible one.

[ Doesn't even hesitate. ]

It wouldn't be the first time people thought something terrible of me, and at least this time something good would come out of it.

[ A beat. ]

Though you never said the lie was about myself. ... Well, it doesn't matter. The answer stays the same. There aren't many white lies I can think of that would actually save someone anyway.

You answered so quickly. So you don't do it for the fame? What a good boy.

-Did I need to? You answered right away. Isn't it a shame that only at a great expense things can change? Though at the same time, a tiny white lie could eventually bring down everything as well. Do you believe in the Butterfly Effect?

Edited 2015-09-20 17:25 (UTC)

I'm not interested in that kind of fame anyway.

And not really, not in that way at least. I won't say that something small can't ever have a big impact in the long run, but isn't it too much to assume that's the case every time?

I'm not sure it's meant to be assumed like that. A small change could mean nothing just as much as everything. It's the same with putting a lot into something, only for it to bring little gain. Wasted potential in a way.

So really you're not talking butterfly effect as much as regular cause and effect? If that's the case then maybe I can buy into it.

The Butterfly Effect may lead to extreme cases, I asked if you knew of it so I didn't have to explain the concept of small happenings developing into big consequences- and if you believed it possible. What I'm speaking of it more like that flapping of a butterflys wings into a hurricane. A white lie into something much more devastating. Cause and effect is nearly indisputable, but to the degree the butterfly effect speaks of- that's what I was interested in.

Do you believe small choices in your life- like a white lie- could result in large consequences?

[ He actually gets quiet for a moment considering this.

A small white lie...

Small lies hadn't done much to screw him over, but omissions of truth? Now those had some very, very nasty consequences in his life. ]

... It could.

It could.

[That was the idea, yes. Lies of omission could be quite nasty too.]

I believe it's your turn.

It is, isn't it?

Would you rather ask questions to find out useful information or ask them for pointless fun?

I feel like I'm being made fun of.

Are you? I never said there was anything wrong with pointless fun. Doesn't everyone waste time on things like like?

Well then, that question is difficult for me. Doesn't everything have a point? Even pointless fun isn't truly pointless.

Should I reword the question then?

Yes please!

Would you rather ask a question to get a useful answer, or an answer that's fun but doesn't do a lot more than entertain you?

Entertainment is quite useful to me. [Infact, it's pretty much all he does anything for.]
