wildc4rd | shirasu catchall

Exactly.

[Though when he looks back up, Shirasu is just. Not there.

Instead, there's a haze of vapor in the air that hangs there for several seconds, eventually reforming into a slightly disoriented Shirasu, who brushes a hand through his hair as if making sure he's solid again.]

...that one's certainly something.

[Awahhh. How fun! Hisoka's eyes light up; he's clearly entertained by Shirasu's disappearance. The haze doesn't matter. Disappearing trick!]

Haaa. I'm a little jealous. Being able to vanish, how exciting. I don't know if I should trust you now or not...

I follow through on my agreements; you can at least trust in that much.

[He takes a moment to brush himself off as well, making extra sure he's all in one piece. That's a very odd feeling, honestly.]

Besides, you have the ability to protect yourself, don't you?

[If anything, he doesn't sound very scared. Ever. But also, like, he's kind of arrogant so that's probably why.]

I suppose. Partnerships are like a marriage, you know. I hope I don't find any infidelity.

I'll hope for the same, then. Such things are best if we're both on the same page.

[A brief pause, before-]

They also work best when others aren't aware. I'll be keeping my distance during the day, for the most part; I do have the girl I'm living with to keep an eye on as well.

[let the record show, hisoka and shirasu eloped together monday night of week 0 and are married. thanks.]

Ahh. Playing hard to get until we meet in the night. How fun. [The earrings jingle when he tilts his head curiously.] Who? Should I be jealous?

[they're not married and shirasu will literally never back him up on that thanks!]

Four. I don't think you have much to worry about-- though I did say I'd help look after her, if we're going to be living in the same place.

She says she has difficulty sleeping at times, so she may notice if I'm gone, but I'll find an explanation if I have to.

[Four. There's a bit of a spark to his golden eyes which is probably somewhat concerning, but nevermind it. They're not technically Japanese, but four is the bad luck number and...???? don't worry about it it makes him excited]

I see. It would be unfortunate if you got into trouble. Am I supposed to vouch for you?

I can vouch for myself with her. It's nothing you need to concern yourself with.

[He'd rather handle his own roommate-- particularly considering that look in Hisoka's eyes. Hm.]

[death number death number death number]

I'm not concerned. Just curious. [Would Hisoka sell Shirasu to Satan for one corn chip? Yea. But, like, the feeling is mutual? It's fine.] If you say so.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga is my roommate. He's a little strange. He isn't a worry.

[says.... says hisoka]

Is he? We haven't spoken yet, though perhaps I should change that.

[A thoughtful little tilt of his head, as he finds somewhere to perch.]

His name's interesting, if nothing else.

[Again, he looks very curiously at Shirasu.]

His name? Why?

It's shared with his item, isn't it? There were a few interesting notes on him.

[He just hasn't had the opportunity to ask about it, yet.]

Ah. It's his sword. [Gently, he taps his chin with a nailed finger.] Hmm. He was looking for it, and found it in our house. He said he was one with it, and he was surprise it had been so easily taken away.

He's a little stupid, if I'm honest. But when I tried to test him, he was quick. He seems to be a swordsman by how he moves.

There's another, too. Ookurikara. His scroll is the same.

One with it, hm... I suppose that'd explain the age as well.

[What is with these nonhumans, honestly. Not like he's never run into them before, but they do complicate things.]

The universe certainly has a taste for variety, doesn't it?

It is interesting. I'm getting a little excited.

[He smiles, but, like, to himself and stuff.]

You're a bit easily excited, aren't you.

[that comes with Exactly the face in the icon, tbh.]

Only when things are getting fun. [A pause, and he straightens up.] I am going to try to fight Lune and Sol, by the way.

Not simultaneously, I hope.

[Shirasu is definitely less deadpan there, though-- that's caught his interest.]

If you're able to, and you require a neutral party... well, at the least, I'd like to know what you learn from it.

[but he'd also really like to observe. save him the trouble of feeling them out himself, thanks.]

I can handle two at once. [He smiles. Because yeah.] I considered asking Ookurikara. I wanted to see what he was made of.

But if you're interested...

I'm not very interested in fighting, myself-- but it never hurts to have someone keep an eye on things.

[just let him watch, okay.]

[Look, he's a weird ass clown freak, but he's not stupid.]

Ah... You don't mind watching me with two other people...? [this just in: shirasu is a cuckhold] I might be shy.

If you hold back, it'll be your own problem.

[he shrugs, still ignoring what hisoka's implying. if he just never rises to it, will it stop...]

[no]

Fine, fine. I'll give my best performance.

I'd expect no less.

[He sounds more satisfied, there.]

But with that-- shall we meet again later? I have other things to do, tonight.

[also then we can end this first thread at 69. nice.]
