_{[ The feed clicks on to reveal the device face up and sitting on the floor, facing the ceiling of an apartment. What pans into view is what seems to be the head of a deceased boar sitting on top of.. a very fit and young looking man. With a snarl, he picks up the device with an aggressive motion and holds it straight out to him, beginning to pace with the device. Looks like someone has (somewhat) learned how to use selfie mode. When he speaks, his voice is loud but extremely low for someone his age. ]}

THIS IS FOR THE STRONGEST PERSON ON THIS PLANET. IF YOU ARE NOT HIM, SHUT UP.

_{[ A dramatic pause and then a deep breath: ]}

I AM LOOKING FOR THE STRONGEST PERSON HERE--!! WHOEVER IS THE STRONGEST, FIGHT ME!! I AM THE ALMIGHTY INOSUKE-SAMA AND AM A WORTHY OPPONENT. TALK TO THIS MAGIC BOX IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT. I WILL KICK YOUR ASS, YOU MAGGOT!!! KEHAHAHAHAHA--!!!

_{[ He's pressing a lot of buttons haphazardly on the device before it finally cuts off. ]}

Hmmmm.

[ Fifteen, huh? He did see that in another message back. Skill-wise, hm. A little rough, but it has some promise. Meaning, this person either might break upon losing or work on becoming stronger.

Hmmm... he certainly is loud, but there is purity in the words. Pure fighters are really hard to find. Well, then, well, then. ]

TAKING PAGE TWO

[ Let's go with this, huh? ]

Hey, are you sure you want to do this? People might actually try to hurt you, you know.

[boarishness]

_{[ what is this... ]}

OI, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU. YOU LOOK LIKE A CORPSE.

_{[ But he doesn't answer his question. ]}

[nobodylikeshim]

Me? I'm just a magician.

[ :) ]

Haven't you heard of them before?

[boarishness]

LIKE SORCERY? ARE YOU OF THE DEVIL?
That don't make me scared if you are!! I kill plenty of demons, what's one more?!

[nobodylikeshim]

Some people might say that.

[ Ha-ha-ha. ]

Now, now... don't go chasing death so much. Don't you want to enjoy yourself here?

[boarishness]

CHASING DEATH IS HOW I ENJOY MYSELF, MAGGOT. You got it??
I'm fearless, I don't gotta worry about dying 'cause I'm too amazing for something like that!!

[nobodylikeshim]

[ He cants his head to the side. ]

Sure, sure.

[ Hisoka lightly scratches the side of his face in thought. ]

But... the people that care about you might be worried. Probably. [ Let's see... what kind of reaction I'll get. ]

[boarishness]

People that care about me?

_{[ He's thinking. Hard. ]}

Noooope. I don't know anyone who does that.

_{[ Tanjiro does-- the girls back at the Butterfly Estate back home-- the Pillars. But for whatever reason he's choosing not to acknowledge that. ]}

[nobodylikeshim]

Is that so?

[ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

Then, I'll care about you.

[ If only because the person shows some chance of becoming quite the threat later. It would be sad if that person were to die before Hisoka got the chance to kill him himself. :) ]

[boarishness]

Whu..

_{[ what.....
He wants to read Hisoka's vibe so hard. ]}

Don't do that.

_{[ ????? ]}

[nobodylikeshim]

No one else is worrying about you properly, right?

[ No, that's probably a lie. ]

So, it doesn't bother me to worry about someone like you.

[ Because it's funny. Because it's entertaining. Because, maybe, this person will be fun to kill. ]

[boarishness]

I DON'T NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT!!

I ain't some baby that needs to be coddled..!! You're making me feel like I need something like that, I don't!! What the hell is up with that?? I hate being underestimated, dammit..!!

[nobodylikeshim]

I'm not underestimating you at all.

[ In fact, he may be overestimating him. ]

To care about someone is to believe in them and wish the best for them... I have no intention of coddling you.

[boarishness]

Oh.

...

WELL, I DON'T NEED THAT BULLSHIT EITHER. I'll do my best with or without your wishes, idiot!! You'll see me and tell me how amazing I am..!! HOW STRONG INOSUKE-SAMA IS!! I'll be talked about in stories and admired for being who I am and what I do..!!

[nobodylikeshim]

Hmmm, hmm, yes, yes.

But, isn't that caring about you?

[boarishness]

MORE LIKE WORSHIPING ME, WHICH THAT TIME IS COMING SOON..!!

[nobodylikeshim]

Why do you want them to worship you?

[boarishness]

'Cause..!!!
It's nice..!!! And I deserve it!!

[nobodylikeshim]

Yet you don't deserve people caring about you?

[ He's just being difficult at this point 'cause he realizes this annoys boar-boy. ]

[boarishness]

_{[ It's working. He's just very dumb. ]}

...

I DUNNO!!! You're making me do a lot of thinking..!!
Besides, you ain't seen what I can do yet!! So why you just going ahead and caring about me, huh??

[nobodylikeshim]

Because it makes me sad to see people all alone.

[ Pfffffffffft!!! ]

[boarishness]

Mmmmmm...
Guess it is kinda sad, but I don't really think of it that way.

I see it more like freedom than something bad.

_{[ Also it's probably cause Inosuke has been all alone most of his life until recent, so it's just natural for him to be numb to it at this point. There is, however, suppressed memories of his human mother. He doesn't like to talk about her that much, though, and denies the fact he was even born from a human for that reason. ]}

[nobodylikeshim]

Normally, I would agree.

[ Since he generally does his own thing and is not connected to anyone. Certainly, he has those that he calls "friends" and "associates." But he could easily leave them all behind without being troubled by it. ]

There is freedom, but there is something sad about it, too. Because in being alone, there is no one who can really hear us, right?
