[Finally, Hisoka releases Shirasu's arm. He unfortunately probably left some return bruising as payback for what he had around his neck.

How easy it'd be to pretend to have new information and goad one of the living into offing Lune instead. North? Ookurikara? Someone paranoid, someone stupid. But there's no fun for him in that. He wants to fight Lune and earn the place.

He glares, and it's not for Shirasu.]

I'll find something.

[wagashis]

Perhaps it's all for the best. Here you were, ready to go and kill one of them, and we still don't know if we need those two to return home.

[it'd be a real shame if he went off and stabbed his way back. shirasu just folds his arms, watching him.]

But then, they may count toward needing to leave only one in the end as well... it could have been doing them a favor. Though it certainly seems they didn't need to keep those of us more comfortable with killing, if the body count this week says anything.

What will you do in the meantime?

[wildc4rd]

I wouldn't have killed him if that were the case.

[Look, Shirasu, he's a clown, but he's not completely stupid. Most of the time. He still has the sour expression on his face. He's trying to have a fucking good time? People keep ruining it. They're so boring and vanilla.]

Something interesting, hopefully. [He makes a face.] What happens if one of the Signs are the last to be alive?

[wagashis]

I doubt that would count, considering they're apparently meant as overseers and guides... I assume that if they don't both need to be killed, then they simply aren't considered in that number.

[wildc4rd]

It seems pointless to tell us they are free game if it doesn't matter. [Right?

For once, he's the one moving around Shirasu. He's feeling kind of bitter and petty.] I'm still going to fight Lune.

I'm not waiting on Sol to stop being busy.

[wagashis]

Not if the point is to see whether the living can restrain themselves.

[binch, we're all bitter and petty here, that's how it is in this bitch of an afterlife.

shirasu hums, considering, before getting up and stretching.]

But if you mean to try your luck, I'll accompany you. Don't worry, I'll still leave him to you-- and I won't step in, either.

[wildc4rd]

[the afterlife SUCKS]

Ah, is that what you're into? [He glances over a shoulder.] Not interested in playing with me, but you enjoy watching me play with someone else?

Naughty.

[wagashis]

I'm perfectly well behaved, you know.

[fake as fuck but okay.]

Besides, I haven't seen that one fight.

[wildc4rd]

Hmm.

[Definitely fake.]

Perhaps you should fight him and let me watch.

[wagashis]

Set on trying to get your entertainment out of me one way or another, hm?

You've never struck me as the type to be satisfied with watching.

[wildc4rd]

I don't mind watching sometimes. [He puts the glove away before folding one hand behind his back, holding the arm by the wrist with his other hand. His fingers curl and then flick open. A card pops out then another.] I suppose I can understand not wanting to show your hand to a lot of people.

Especially those.

[wagashis]

If it's true that we can't kill either of them, then I have little reason to want to fight him.

[he shrugs one shoulder, there, casual as he reaches over to try to steal one of those cards.]

[wildc4rd]

You don't want to test your strength against theirs?

[Oh. Shirasu manages to get one of the cards since he wasn't trying to guard them. He turns around, still holding the other in his hand.] Hmm. [It's a Two of Spades.]

[wagashis]

I'm curious... but it's not as important to me as it is to you.

[he's just examining that card with a hum.]

I've meant to ask before. Do these hold any particular meaning?

[wildc4rd]

There are so many fun games you can play with cards. When you have the right ones, you win.

[He holds up the card he still has, the King of Clubs.]

I can use my nen to make them sharp. They're my weapons of choice. Using them with Bungee Gum is very entertaining.
