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?

[How interesting... Someone who died expecting it, that made it seem like a story was there, or perhaps he had been sick? Hisoka is more hopeful though.]

May I ask how it happened?

[kinesia]

[ He doesn't reply right away. This is not an easy thing to talk about, even now, and Grey generally doesn't. People generally don't ask.

It's not a secret, though. He explains as briefly as he can. ]

he would have killed curtis
i stopped him . i fought him

i wanted to beat him so that curtis would be safe
but he was stronger than me
he pinned me
and put the knife in my chest
and i died there .

i dont know what happened to curtis
i dont know if he lived . i hope so

but i would do it again . to save him
he was the important one .

[debauchewy]

[It could mean a range of things. Curtis- a leader, a lover, a friend, family member, and so on. He can't say for sure but the fact that this person so willingly gave his life for another deserves some respect, even if Hisoka doesn't personally agree with giving himself up like that. It shows courage though, and will, but ah

alas.]

[He's not much interested in the dead, he's unsure how he feels about continuing speaking to this person just yet. While he's dead, he still acts very alive at least. Like he wants to live.]

So then you weren't ready, to fight for yourself or save this Curtis, do you wan t to be ready in this world? Incase he should arrive? Or just to be strong for yourself?

[kinesia]

i was ready

[ That comes back quickly, certainly. Grey had not been unprepared. In all his life, it could be argued, he had never been prepared for anything else. It's why he's so lost here, even now. ]

i was ready but he was better . stronger

here
i just want to live .

[ He thinks of April as he says that. April, who so often tells him to live. He thinks it would be the only order she ever gave him, if she could. But she's right.That's what Grey wants. He's had a taste of freedom here, and he doesn't want to give it up. It's the only thing he wants to fight for, now. ]

[debauchewy]

But what if someone better and stronger comes for you in this world, don't you want to be prepared?

To continue living?

[kinesia]

[ If they are better then they will kill him. He cannot prevent that.

He does, however, still train. He will never not be ready. ]

i am prepared

i am always prepared .

[debauchewy]

I'm sure. I'm interested in how prepared. [A low lidded look, not that this person can see it.]

Are you willing to show me? Perhaps i can help you prepare even more.

[kinesia]

[ Grey considers. He should be wary, but he has never been afraid. Not of fighting.

Not even in death. ]

you want to fight me .

when ?

[debauchewy]

I would.

When I have the free time to. Would you be willing to indulge me?

[kinesia]

yes . i will do that

[debauchewy]

I'm looking forward to it. What do I call you?

[kinesia]

grey
this is where i live .

[ The address to Will and April’s house is attached. ]

[debauchewy]

We'll speak again then soon, Grey.

Bye-bye.

[Cli-ck.]

[Time to already begin regretting this, honey.]
