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?

[Hisoka's laughing a bit at that. Yes, of course that's his first move, that response was fantastic.]

So as long as you don't have to actually do it, you don't mind if people think it?

[lucke]

It's not like people don't already think the worst of me. But it doesn't matter what they think.

[He's a bit fired up now.]

I'd dare anyone to call me a sheep humper to my face.

[debauchewy]

It surely does matter, since you plan to hit them in the face for saying anything, right?

[Oohh, fired up, that was the point in asking this after all!]

It certainly seems like it matters what they think a lot...

[lucke]

Not a bit. Not to me anyways. I'll be fine no matter, my fist will just do what comes natural.

[He shrugs, but then thrusts his finger at the screen with sudden intensity.]

Would you rather know you were going to die pathetically, in a way that would shame you? Or know the complete outcome of every battle before it happens?!

[debauchewy]

Is that assuming I will die pathetically? Or is it assuring I will, and will know of it before hand? [Which he won't with goes without saying, but aanyway.]

[lucke]

The latter.

[A rather intense look in his eyes.

He won't lose to your sheep buggery questions, Hisoka.]

[debauchewy]

Isn't all death shameful? Though I don't think I'd care much.

[lucke]

Naw, I wholly subscribe to the idea that there are good deaths and bad deaths.

Dying on your feet, when the odds finally catch up to you. Or you finally meet a match that just gets the better of you. Going out with flare. With purpose.

...Yeah. [He seems lost in thought for a moment, but then the look of intensity is back.]

But you didn't answer.

[debauchewy]

It's quite the choice...

When I have my end, I'd rather it be everything, but if I know the outcome of every fight, that would ruin them all. I'll take the final one sour if the rest will be sweet.

[What good was the pursuit of fighting at all if he knew the complete end? Most times, Hisoka knew he'd win, but to know them all... he'd know when he dies as well with that choice (should he died by a fight anyway, which an inner part of him hopes for), though it wouldn't be an assured shameful defeat. Still, what good would an enjoyable death be if he couldn't fully enjoy the fight?]

[lucke]

Hmph. [He puffs a sound that's half chuckle, as much as it's a grunt of acknowledgement.

Funny thing is, that about sums up his life in a nutshell. Glorious battle, one after another... Until it was all stripped away in disgrace by vengeful cowards.

Except he didn't get to know his final end until it happened.]

And hope the battles before made it all worth while.

[debauchewy]

I won't need to hope, but I'm certainly not against the notion of it. Hope can be a powerful thing. Though, so can fate, it seems.

[lucke]

...Well, I suppose you're right. No sense wishing. Doing is the only thing that matters. And what happens happens.
