[All he says is:] Twins. [It's not a question, and he definitely has a particular look to his glance. But, like... that's all he says...]

Splitting the responsibility? And what happens if the twin decides it's time to lead alone? Ah. I forgot. You're quite like the Zoldycks, aren't you? Family means everything.

[wagashis]

We were always one. That isn't going to happen.

[swear to god if he's just like 'two shirasus...' he Will double die.]

I did think it was foolish at first to have two Heads, but I was young at the time. It proved to be quite useful.

[wildc4rd]

[He is very much like "two Shirasus" unfortunately. But luckily, he wouldn't pursue anything like that without it being mutual. Small blessings. He can taunt about it, though.]

I'm not sure having more than a single Zoldyck is useful. Well, for them I suppose. They are quite messy. Were you? [He smiles like he knows the answer.] So... if you were Little Isuke...?

[wagashis]

He was Isame, and also Kotarou. We shared the title of Fuuma Kotarou the tenth.

[it's a name and a title, just go with it. that comment gets an annoyed look, though.]

And of course we weren't-- though, well. The end goal certainly was to create a mess. Our work was not.

[wildc4rd]

Sounds familiar.

[Inwardly, he's closing his eyes very intensely at Illumi for the twisted little game which had been played with Killua. His favorite plaything almost died? Get out of here with that mess.]

Little Isuke and Little Isame with their big family. But you're seeing if you can bring him back? You both were in some trouble, I see.

[wagashis]

You could put it that way, I suppose.

[... but that seems to be as much as he willingly offers for now; he goes quiet there.]

[wildc4rd]

[Ah. He hit a sort of soft, sore spots. Hisoka just peers at Shirasu through his lashes, not smiling, but not frowning either. Surprisingly, he doesn't poke that particular hornet's nest.]

You could come to Yorbia.

[wagashis]

Your home?

[...he looks a little surprised, actually.]

And do what? I thought your goal was one you wished to accomplish alone.

[wildc4rd]

I can finish what I start even with you there. Besides, I'm sure you would be busy trying to learn how to use nen.

[His smile is horrifically pleasant for it being one of his smiles.]

[wagashis]

Most likely. I'd wish to master it before doing much else.

[he says that idly, like it's just an offhand thought. hard to say if he's truly thinking about it.]

If I chose to go anywhere but home, that is.

[wildc4rd]

It should be a simple task for someone like you.

[But he doesn't clarify what he means by this, not even glancing in Shirasu's direction.]

If there's nothing left for you at home. If we're even able to leave this place at all. Perhaps you could become the leader of the Phantom Troupe when Chrollo is dead.

[wagashis]

Perhaps. I have the experience, at least.

[for what good it's done him.

he's curious, though-]

Someone like me, hm-- and what sort of person is that, Hisoka?

[wildc4rd]

[He still doesn't look in Shirasu's direction. The golden eyes are twisted away and up, shifting thoughtfully around the room.]

Someone adaptable.

[wagashis]

[god, don't be this way, don't make me type what i'm about to

because shirasu exhales a sigh, reaching over to just. take hold of hisoka's jaw and try to forcibly turn his damn head to look at him. stop that.]

You've grown tired of seeing me awfully quickly, haven't you.

[all after hisoka was the one who moved to be able to make eye contact in the first place.]

[wildc4rd]

[There's no resistance; he lets his head be turned, and he peers at Shirasu for a moment or two, looking perhaps very faintly amused.]

I've already memorized how you look. [He closes his eyes briefly.] Sometimes, I just enjoy seeing it in my mind.

[wagashis]

You're aware of what I meant, Hisoka.

[don't be like this, don't phrase it that way?

he lets go, though.]

[wildc4rd]

[His face stays pointed in Shirasu's direction. He keeps looking.]

I'll always look at you if you're where I can see you. I did mean what I said. It didn't take you long to learn your element. Nen shouldn't be so difficult for you to master quickly.

If Gon can, you can.

[wagashis]

That's precisely the opposite of what you were doing a moment ago.

[but then he expects this of hisoka, so. it's fine.]

...we'll see. If nothing else, if there's also a way to leave-- perhaps additional strength could help change our situation at home.

[wildc4rd]

[Dang, fine. He'll just stare all the time.]

Ah, using me for the ability to learn nen and then running away home. If I wasn't impressed, I'd be disappointed. What do you plan to do? If you're a transmuter, what will you change your nen into?

There's six, remember. [He holds up six fingers, wiggling them.] Aura types are like a wheel. Whatever your aura type is, you can also learn the two adjacent types, too. You can learn all of them really. But they won't be as strong as your natural aura type.

Hmm. Illumi is a manipulator. They're very logical. Maybe that would be your aura type. He uses needles. He can change his appearance with them, and he can use them on others to control them.

[wagashis]

Manipulation does sound like it might suit me. I've always favored having others do the work where possible, though I don't need any extra help changing my appearance...

But given the ability to change that aura into anything, toxins are always quite useful as well.

[wildc4rd]

I'm sure he would kill you without even blinking if you copied his nen. He's very proud of them.

[But Hisoka would pay to see that fight.................. He's naughty.]

You enjoy toxins, but the universe didn't allow you to have the toxin ability? [He actually laughs.] I like the irony.

[wagashis]

I don't have any need to copy someone else's.

[he'll develop his own damn skills, thank you very much.]

And truthfully, given how many of us seemed to have it-- not having Toxicity was something of a relief. I'd have changed my ability just to avoid suspicion.

[wildc4rd]

[good boy]

It would have been boring if you had it. Do make your nen more interesting than simply being like Toxicity. There's so much potential.

[wagashis]

I'd have to explore its potential more before deciding. Such things aren't meant to be settled so quickly, especially without knowing that's what I'd end up with.

[wildc4rd]

Do surprise me then. [Like before, he turns his head in the other direction, mostly to rest the slope of his skull better on Shirasu.] If you even bother coming.
