Let's play truth or dare! ☆*:.｡.o(⭐️≧▽≦💧)o.｡.:*☆

We have video option so playing out the dare is easy, right? (⭐️￣▽￣💧)

Everyone can throw down their own dare and truth to anyone and everyone! Why not? Why not? (ﾉ⭐️◕ヮ◕💧)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Me first! I'll do dare. |ʘ‿ʘ💧)╯ Be gentle or not!

All right.

Show me your favorite spell.

...Hmm.
It will be hard to show you over this device, and I will need a great deal of open space. Should we arrange a suitable place to meet, or will you be content with my second favorite?

I'll be all right with the second favorite.

If I move around too much, it'll be hard to play this game with others~! But I'll hold you to showing me your first favorite spell.

Indeed. If we are ever again attacked by giant monstrous creatures, or there is another exhibition with those mechanical dragons, it will present an ideal opportunity.

But for now...!

[ he draws a silver rapier and then taps it against his face. his form is briefly obscured by orange sparkles, which clear to reveal... hisoka!
or at least, an impeccable facsimile thereof. of course, only the parts of hisoka that titus can actually see over the device's screen are replicated, but then again, those are also the only parts of titus that hisoka can see, so whatever. ]

Ahh.

[ He claps his hands together as he applauds the spell. It really does look like him and he cannot help but find it a little amusing to see himself. ]

Can "I" move? Fight? [ Kill? ]

Of course! You can do anything I can do. [ he gestures extravagantly and turns his face this way and that. ] As I get to know you better, the likeness will improve. ...The voice, too. I left that off this time.

I hardly believe you're doing something like this "just for fun."
What kind of information are you actually looking for?

_{[ damn, this old man is so serious. He's just the kind of person that Hisoka is talking about. ]}

but i am! ♥
sometimes i just do things because it is fun to do them. ♦
there is no greater meaning. ♠

JUST KIDDING ♣
i didn't get a chance to see everyone's abilities while they killed the sinless ♠
this is a good way to see what they can do -- and how comfortable they are with their abilities ♦

after all, if they're comfortable enough to play around with them, you understand what that means, right? ♠
if they only want to use them for battle, you understand what that means right? ♣

but don't rain on my parade and have fun ♠
i probably am not going to find anything out ♥
and if i don't, well, at least i got to do something fun ♥

Can "I" do things while you're doing things?

[ That would be fun to fight and kill. ]

Like ... that person ... is he able to move while you're moving and doing other spells?

That's amazing! Really amazing!

_{[ A brief pause, and then: ]}

Guess this isn't a bad method for doing something like that.

Right? ♥

Anyway.
Have you learned how to be more approachable, Five? ♥

_{[ For some godforsaken reason, he tolerates you. Kind of. He doesn't know why Hisoka wants to truth or dare to learn out people's abilities other than the fact it's knowledge.. and if the murder clown wants knowledge to do whatever, that's fine. Just don't get him or his family involved. ]}

You could say I've formed a few alliances.

_{[ Only admitting this to prove his point from their last conversation. ]}

[ If it were on video, he would have clapped his hands to cheer Five on for having created some alliances. It warms the heart because one day he hopes the kid will get strong enough to try to kill him. He's willing to wait -- since he has no idea how long he's going to be here, so might as well make some long-term plans. ]

Wow.
Was it hard? ♥

You mean, could I make a separate illusion of you, rather than simply transforming my own appearance...?

Well...
I could, yes. That is, there's no reason I couldn't. It would be quite a bit more complex, but...

[ his brow furrows... or, well, "hisoka's" brow furrows... as he attempts to calculate the ceremonial orders. probably it's at least an order of magnitude more involved, but he is a genius magician, after all, so... ]

It would take me a bit of time to develop.
But yes, without a doubt, it can be done.

_{[ Five is nonethewiser about this little scheme. Let's see how long it will take him to figure it out. ]}

It was easy. They all met up with me in response to my network post. I attracted all the kinds of people I was looking for.

_{[ A geneticist who freely gives him whiskey, an isolated woman who understands quantum physics, a former soldier who is around his age, a seasoned assassin and an expert hacker. All very useful to him. ]}

That's what happens when you don't beat around the bush. I know what I'm doing.

[ A soft laugh. ]

Neat.

[ Hmmm. ]

Actually, I have a friend that is very good at metamorphosing himself, too. He has taken my shape once before. I suppose that is why I'm surprised but not too surprised. Yet at the same time... I'm quite pleased to know that you'd be able to copy even my tricks and magic.

[ His eyes shine just a little. ] And the idea that you'd be able to make a double is also nice. But you shouldn't stretch yourself too far. If you do, you'll forget the basics and end up dying.

And you were honest with them? ♠
I'm quite surprised. ♦
I would think you wouldn't want to tell them anything.

Why?
I'm not afraid of being stabbed in the back if that's your concern.

I'm too far ahead of them where they can't even reach my back.

_{[ It's that attitude that sent him into the apocalypse!! Bratty old timer doesn't learn his lesson. ]}

[ So, that is how he thinks.

Hisoka has to take a second to laugh, before he explains himself. ]

Because it is forming a connection with someone. ♠

Well, there are various ways I could give it solidity, but it's only an illusion—I am altering the refraction of light, not actually transforming my body.

[ he lets the spell dissolve and is back to his normal appearance! ]

Metamorphosis is quite an interesting ability, though! Other than Djinn Equip, we do not have much in the way of such techniques in my world, but perhaps they will be discovered and refined eventually...

[ and then uh ?? ]

...What? Why would I die?

Hmm, hmmm, I see.

[ Not quite what he is looking for, then. ]

He can do even more than that, I assure you, but he's quite the amazing person. [ Hisoka likes Illumi and enjoys complimenting him without the assassin being around. Because it shows a closeness that isn't really there. Hah-hah. ]

You would die because a person should never forget the basics of what they know. Once they start focusing more and more on bigger and bigger abilities... they forget that a knife in the chest can kill just as much as an amazing spell.

That's not so bad.
Especially if they can actually have an intelligent conversation with me.

And give me alcohol or caffeine.

_{[ A handful of them did offer to make him coffee, after all. ]}

You say some surprisingly ADORABLE things, Five. ♥

Edited 2019-08-19 05:12 (UTC)

Well, my borg would protect me from any direct physical attacks.
Though I suppose it is true that if I used up too much magoi on extravagant spells, a determined assailant would be able to break through.
