[they already said they would do this, which is unfortunate but only on an ooc level.
because on an ic level, lune is hardly displeased? rather, they've decided to pick the best possible vantage point for watching the sunset? which is why in the eastern area, in the air realm, they've managed to scale to the highest point of a cliff, neatly seated at the edge and allowing their feet to dangle over it.
[It takes a little bit for Hisoka to get there because, honestly, he takes his time? He doesn't walk extremely slow, just... casually. Besides, he has tea wrapped in a cloth so it can be carried, and it shouldn't be spilled.
He gets there before sunset time, it's fine.
There's no attention calling as he approaches to one of Lune's sides, settling the tea between them by the tied handle. It's in a pitcher rather than a teapot. But there's a little tinkle of porcelain cups, too.
[as long as it's before sunset, that's perfectly fine? lune doesn't seem to be that bothered about it, instead turning to hisoka once he arrives and offering warmly:]
[Rather than sit down like a normal person, Hisoka kind of folds into some cross-legged contortions since he's just That Way.]
I came at the right time.
[Just as the sun is setting. It's not bad really. Will he appreciate it? Marginally probably. He couldn't have been in the circus for very long without some kind of artistic flair.
His own cup is rolled and bobbled with flourish over the back of his hand and his knuckles while he pours Lune the tea, and then he finally settles down enough to pour his, though he doesn't drink it immediately.]
I'm not sure. I gave him quite a surprise when he was here. Perhaps I am already a fan of surprises.
They're exciting in their own ways. [He finally has a sip of his own stuff. There's? no change in his face? in the slightest.] I'd rather like to play a little more with... Hmm.
A few of them.
I was a little disappointed in Mary's elimination. She had potential to be fun. [A glance over.] Say, why do you think we were selected? Your personal opinion.
In my personal opinion... From my understanding, each of you possess a combination of darkness and light within each of you. The possibility to be corrupted, perhaps, but just as much you are capable of recognizing the need for balance and what might be seen as 'good'.
For a given definition of the word.
[which lune will admit is a very broad definition]
It is a matter of determining how the instability is choosing to manifest itself, ward off those manifestations, and then make progress in calming the instability by taking those steps forward. While we now have ways to determine the first steps - the latter are still being uncovered.
But I do believe progress is being made.
[there's another sip of the damn kombucha]
The alternative is to do nothing at all and allow the instability to run free.
[At this, Hisoka smiles, amused. It's so nice to know they can slit the throat of whoever is consumed by darkness. Or they can just watch the world burn.]
Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.
[When he's creating havoc and chaos among everyone else for his own enjoyment.]
[He's quiet for a long time, not looking anywhere but out at the sky. The smile on his face isn't really a complete smile; it's enigmatic. Like the statue of Shiva's smile, like Mona Lisa's smile.]
My life energy, yes. I'm a transmuter. I can change the properties of my aura. [He smiles again, this time pleased.] It's now both rubber and gum. ♥ Bungee Gum.
But I can also utilize conjuration. That's Texture Surprise. What a shame I can't show you. It really is amazing.
[How curious. But also how disappointing and also how much of a relief.]
It depends on which puppet it decides to use. If they’re worth the fight... I’ll consider it. The others can try to figure out how to stop the ones not worth the time.
Perhaps after some demonstration of such, I will be able to rely on those words more. I have been told that I am rather difficult to handle, after all.
My suggestion is simply this:
If we must hold a trial, every time you assist everyone in voting collectively for the correct person, I will prepare a surprise for you.
Ahh. I don't much care for bosses. [But he'll take the role, though. He'll take the role.] As expected of me to say, I don't think your choice was a bad one.

week 1, wednesday
because on an ic level, lune is hardly displeased? rather, they've decided to pick the best possible vantage point for watching the sunset? which is why in the eastern area, in the air realm, they've managed to scale to the highest point of a cliff, neatly seated at the edge and allowing their feet to dangle over it.
next to them, there is a plate of dango.
with their attention directed neatly skyward, it would appear as though they are waiting.
it's hard to say exactly how long it was they were waiting.]
no subject
He gets there before sunset time, it's fine.
There's no attention calling as he approaches to one of Lune's sides, settling the tea between them by the tied handle. It's in a pitcher rather than a teapot. But there's a little tinkle of porcelain cups, too.
Spoilers: it's kombucha.]
no subject
Welcome, welcome.
no subject
I came at the right time.
[Just as the sun is setting. It's not bad really. Will he appreciate it? Marginally probably. He couldn't have been in the circus for very long without some kind of artistic flair.
Or, like, a fighting killer, but anyway.]
What are these...?
no subject
[look
they're proud of themselves for managing this much. they'll look toward the pitcher]
Is this tea? How different.
no subject
[balls on a stick ah they'll both enjoy those for sure his husband back home also has balls on sticks so jiji knows a way to a man's heart]
It's tea. [Fine. He'll get everything out as it should be and pour some?? Good luck, grandpa.] It has a kick.
Exciting.
no subject
but anyway they'll just accept this, holding their hands out expectantly to receive the tea once it's poured]
Oh? I can't say I've been served tea in this way before.
Did Tsurumaru's penchant for surprises get passed down to you?
no subject
His own cup is rolled and bobbled with flourish over the back of his hand and his knuckles while he pours Lune the tea, and then he finally settles down enough to pour his, though he doesn't drink it immediately.]
I'm not sure. I gave him quite a surprise when he was here. Perhaps I am already a fan of surprises.
no subject
Is that so? Then perhaps that is why the two of you were thought to fit as partners.
[but lune will go ahead and drink the tea and
pause
then laugh]
Ah, I have found the kick.
no subject
[Either way, it was BAD.
His lips curve into a smirk.]
Ja, jaan. ♥ Surprise.
no subject
[thEY'RE JUST GONNA
KEEP DRINKING IT]
Have you been enjoying your time here?
no subject
It has been fairly interesting. The look in everyone's eyes when trying to find out who may have killed... It was exciting.
no subject
And what do you think of the group that has been gathered here?
no subject
A few of them.
I was a little disappointed in Mary's elimination. She had potential to be fun. [A glance over.] Say, why do you think we were selected? Your personal opinion.
no subject
For a given definition of the word.
[which lune will admit is a very broad definition]
no subject
So I've heard. And we are meant to work as a team to ensure the stabilization of the core of the universe. How do you plan to get us to stabilize it?
[someone!! chose now to talk to the npcs!! listen]
no subject
But I do believe progress is being made.
[there's another sip of the damn kombucha]
The alternative is to do nothing at all and allow the instability to run free.
no subject
Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.
[When he's creating havoc and chaos among everyone else for his own enjoyment.]
What do you miss the most from home?
[???]
no subject
lune will watch the sun continue to fall over the horizon, painting the sky in different colors.]
The greeting that comes with being welcomed back home, after a long journey.
[their voice is just as warm as the oranges and pinks that paint the sky - ]
And you?
no subject
My nen.
no subject
no subject
But I can also utilize conjuration. That's Texture Surprise. What a shame I can't show you. It really is amazing.
no subject
What would you do with these skills, if you possessed them?
no subject
[A pause.]
Speaking of the corruption... [The gold eyes turn on Lune.] Are you and Sol able to be corrupted, too?
no subject
[though that sounds more - thoughtful than anything? as if they wonder why that's the case]
Do you wish to combat against the corrupted?
no subject
[How curious. But also how disappointing and also how much of a relief.]
It depends on which puppet it decides to use. If they’re worth the fight... I’ll consider it. The others can try to figure out how to stop the ones not worth the time.
[He’s! so! Why is he this way.]
no subject
Might there be anything that would motivate you to act otherwise?
[just wondering]
no subject
Perhaps. If there's something entertaining enough. A surprise, you know?
[Lune likes surprised, right?]
no subject
Then shall we pen an arrangement?
no subject
Are we writing our vows already? I didn't know you wanted to tie me down so easily. Well... If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine.
no subject
Oh, are you making play that we are to be betrothed? I can hardly agree when it appears that you have many partnerships already.
[hm]
no subject
Honest.
[His fingers are crossed behind his back.]
no subject
Perhaps after some demonstration of such, I will be able to rely on those words more. I have been told that I am rather difficult to handle, after all.
My suggestion is simply this:
If we must hold a trial, every time you assist everyone in voting collectively for the correct person, I will prepare a surprise for you.
[this will apparently start week 2]
no subject
That's a little devious. [Considering... what will happen week two, DANA.] And here I was worried you might turn out to be boring.
Hm. [He pretends to be thoughtful.] Alright. You can give me a surprise if I help everyone vote for the right person.
no subject
Boring? I certainly hope not.
I was the one to choose you for your role, after all. It would be a shame if you outpaced me.
no subject
[But like, yeah. He'd say that.]
no subject
But you needn't worry. I do not intend to take the role of a 'boss'. Directing others against their will is not entirely in my nature.
no subject
I figured you were more subtle than that.
no subject
I have been told that some of my methods are rather aggressive.
no subject
no subject
[weird choice of words
lune sips their tea anyway]
