Opportunism, then. It seems like it'd be effective enough.

[There's a twirl of his finger there, moving some of the water up and out of the pool-- still toying with it more than anything, getting comfortable with it.]

Are you finding enough to keep you occupied?

[wildc4rd]

[Well, well. Someone is getting a handle on their element. He watches idly, somewhat amused.]

For now. If not, I'll simply come bother you.

[Aren't you lucky, Shirasu.]

Has anyone caught your attention? If there is a person who can forge broke bonds, surely there's something else.

[wagashis]

If you believe you'll get much out of that, I suppose you can try.

[Hisoka has one (1) secret out of him and Shirasu would like to keep it that way, thanks!

In answer to that question though, he shrugs-]

There could be, though I don't think the existence of one unknown ability means there must be more-- only that it's become a possibility.

I've found people interesting for other reasons, however, as I'm sure you must have.

[wildc4rd]

[Who said he's looking for more secrets. Maybe he just has fun bothering the shit out of Shirasu by simply being around... He's like that. Sometimes.]

Don't tease me. I still really am upset. [He doesn't sound it as bad as the last time, though, at least.] There's a few.

I'm going to pay a visit to Sol tomorrow if things go smoothly. Did you change your mind about coming? I'm going to see what he can talk about. It's a shame they're so cursed. Those little hands under their hoods are so troublesome.

[wagashis]

You often seem to think I'm teasing you.

[This is just how he is, you're gonna have to get used to it.

But at the question, he pauses a moment before giving Hisoka a nod.]

Mm, I'll come. They're easy enough to handle, compared to the other. [There's a sigh before he adds-] I'd rather just go speak with their source, but as far as I've found, it all has to go through them-- so I suppose we're stuck dealing with what they can't say.

[wildc4rd]

You are a big tease.

[He just, like, CAN TELL. Slimy bastards can smell other slimy bastards usually. Also this secretive agreement? Shirasu is a tease through and through.]

Okay. I'll bring you to show off. [A date.] They're quite the tease, too. I don't think we'll be speaking to their source any time soon. Not unless meeting them privately holds more sway.

[wagashis]

[this time, he does flick the water at Hisoka's face. Stop calling him that. /:

But he carries on like he didn't do anything whatsoever.]

It was explained to me as something only the two of them have access to-- but it seems that even they're ignored, sometimes. It'll likely be difficult, if it's possible at all.

[wildc4rd]

[Well, thankfully, he hasn't quite yet put back on the teardrop and star paint, and he hasn't pushed the hair back.

So the water just gets a shift of surprise in his face and then a flat stare. Shirasu is getting better with the water aim.]

Ignored? My. Not even their... hm... overseers are talkative. Strange. [Reaching up, he rubs the crook of his elbow down his face and then brushes a hand through his hair.] What do you think?

About having to restore the core for them.

Having something getting in the way sure is an interesting turn.

[wagashis]

I don't think it was ever bound to be something simple-- I almost prefer this, honestly. It's something to work with.

['Get rid of corruption that can possess people' is a step up compared to 'you're going to have to reach a consensus, somehow, good luck'.]

As far as the core goes...

[Another pause, there.]

It was suggested to me that, given that this is the core of the universe and currently somewhat malleable... there may not be anything truly out of its grasp. I'm interested in seeing what we can do with it.

[and, therefore, willing enough to keep it intact.]

[wildc4rd]

Hmm...

[A slender finger curls over his chin, and he brushes the nail against his skin idly.] Our matchmaking was very good. We have so much in common. ♥ [Of course, there's no "happiness" in that. Just amusement.]

I worked very hard to keep a big mess from happening already. I'd hate to see it go to waste.

[And, therefore, he'd like to keep it intact.]

Do you think we get a prize for participation?

[wagashis]

[He's just not going to acknowledge the matchmaking bit, giving Hisoka a flat look there before he shakes his head and carries on.]

Possibly. If we act favorably, we may be able to make it malleable to our will, or so I was told-- so I suppose we'll have to work to keep it intact in order to find out if it can keep things stable, or perhaps change them.

[wildc4rd]

Interesting. ♠

[What happens when the two chaos makers do the right thing for the wrong reasons. FIND OUT AT THE END OF SUB.]

I'm not sure if anyone else here would want to let it become unstable. Mm. But the "darkness" poses a problem. Do you think there's more? Surely, it can't be one time. Persistence is key.

I guess you and I will have to weed out the corruption. What a chore...

[wagashis]

If something's acted once, it'll do so again, given the opportunity.

[So it depends, really, on how persistent it is and whether purifying Mary truly gets rid of it. He's not about to hang his hopes on that.]

That's quite a lot to put on us alone though, you know. Do you not have other connections?

[wildc4rd]

[Neither is Hisoka, honestly.]

I'm shy.

[He makes exactly this face.]

[wagashis]

[He gets splashed again, but harder.]

[wildc4rd]

[He pretends to look super put-out, but it's definitely very flat.]

Ahh. ♪ If you wanted me to be ███, you could have just asked.

[Oh right. At least they went three meetings without anything horny? A record.]

What a pain. Someone used an ability on me.

[wagashis]

Did they? I haven't noticed anything different.

[Can't believe we broke 100 before Hisoka got horny...]

Still, even considering the way you've behaved in public, I doubt I'm truly the only one you speak with.

[wildc4rd]

[STOP TEASING HIM. This is so rude. Only Illumi can bully him this way.]

Oh, but you are. I told you everyone avoids me. You were the only one who wanted to speak to me in private.

[wagashis]

[This is why he's the Illumi stand-in, tbh.]

Mm, I suppose that's not too surprising... but it does make things a little more difficult, doesn't it.

[Learn to fake being normal, jeez.]

How troublesome...

[wildc4rd]

Does it?

[He sees no problem with no one talking to him. Secrets are better kept this way? Also, he will just go to them technically if he really needs to do it.]

You aren't jealous about me seeing other people? My.

[wagashis]

It'll be a slower effort to learn more about the others here if I'm the only one able to work at it.

[So thanks for that, Hisoka.]

Why, are you jealous? I've been seeing a few since arriving here.

[wildc4rd]

But you do such a good job.

[If it's really a compliment, he honestly doesn't make it seem like it, and he doesn't draw any attention to it before continuing on.]

I suppose I deserve it for pretending to be married to someone I wasn't for the publicity. Is it anyone interesting?

[wagashis]

[Yet again, he just kind of lets that comment pass... he's getting very used to doing that, with Hisoka.]

Here and there, yes. My partner might be a little difficult to deal with, but not too much trouble... Akane-chan's been quite interesting to speak with, though.

[wildc4rd]

Akane?

[His look and his smile says "interesting." Bad.]

Minato is also very fun to speak with. He has very curious tastes.

[wagashis]

So I've seen. Anything of particular interest, that you've noticed?

[They haven't spoken much, but-- well. That boy's definitely weird.]
