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.

[wearingguess]

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.

[nobodylikeshim]

Also, your abilities are based on chroma instead of magoi now~

[ His own abilities are tied to chroma and so he cannot fight at his best anymore. It really breaks the heart!! ]

[wearingguess]

Yes, yes.
So, if I used up too much chroma on extravagant spells... et cetera.

[nobodylikeshim]

If you use too much chroma, you'd die.

[ He cannot help but chuckle a little now. ]

Like I said. Don't forget the basics.

[wearingguess]

I'll die when I run out of magoi, too.
Still, with chroma there is even less reason to worry! There is no upper limit on how much we can generate, after all.

[nobodylikeshim]

[ Hisoka let out a single sigh.

This child will probably die, and that's a real shame. But thankfully, death is not permanent in this world so either he'll learn or he won't learn. That'll be up to the child in question. ]

Anyway. My turn? I'll go with truth, again. [ Because he's disappointed and doesn't want to go with dare anymore. :( ]

[wearingguess]

Ah—all right, then.
Mm...
Is there a particular reason why you talk so much about killing and dying?

[nobodylikeshim]

Yes, there is.

[ He gives a small nod. ]

Fighting and killing strong opponents makes me really excited.

[wearingguess]

I see!
What kind of opponents do you usually take on, and for what reason?...
Oh, or do I need another truth to ask that?

[nobodylikeshim]

No, you don't have to worry about asking for another truth.

[ Hah-hah. ]

Like I said, they have to be strong. The only reason is because they're strong. But they have to be a certain kind of strong. [ Mmm. ] They have to fit my criteria. It has to do with the level that they fight, the ease of which they can use their abilities, so on and so forth.

Their strength isn't that their abilities are great or big or flashy, but because they are strong. I can't explain it anymore than that~

[wearingguess]

I suppose that all makes sense. [ i mean, kind of??? ]

Are you involved in a war, then? Or... some other kind of conflict like that?

[nobodylikeshim]

No.

I just do it for fun.

[wearingguess]

Is that also why they do it?

Or rather, well...
I suppose I am wondering whether these are agreed-upon duels.
As opposed to simply murders.

[nobodylikeshim]

Oh, it is agreed upon.

There is no point in fighting someone if they don't agree to it. [ He laughs a little in response. ] I don't know why they do it. Because they want to kill me, I suppose? But I'm only fighting them for fun.

[wearingguess]

Hmmmm.



I wonder how to phrase this.
Is it, perhaps... very boring on your world?
That is.
In general, is there simply not all that much to do?

[nobodylikeshim]

No.

[ Another small shrug. ]

There is a lot to do. Simply because I'm doing what I'm doing doesn't mean that my world doesn't have much happening in it.

[wearingguess]

It is less the fact that just you are doing it than that so many others are fine with doing more or less the same thing... apparently. It just made me wonder whether there might simply not be much in the way of appealing pastimes that do not involve fights to the death.

[nobodylikeshim]

There's no need to wonder something like that...

[ He laughs a little. ]

I like that sort of thing and so I seek that sort of thing. Naturally, I'll find others that will attempt to kill me. That's just how it is.

[wearingguess]

You have certainly given me a lot to think about.
I wonder if there are even people in my world who enjoy this sort of thing...

[nobodylikeshim]

There probably were.

[wearingguess]

I shall have to ask someone who is more knowledgeable about these matters.
Thank you for your time, sir!

[nobodylikeshim]

You're welcome!
