[ he was idly playing with his stupid gummiphone as he waited on the bed, because that's domestic as fuck. he looks up at her and can't help but grin a little ]

Cute pajamas. I'd call that a definite improvement over the blood.

[foodbin]

Anything is an improvement over the blood.

[She heads over to the bed, though, and sits crosslegged next to him.]

Ugh. If you ever see an iron maiden lying around, do not open it.

[leaberator]

Like... the torture device?

[ w. wh. what ]

[foodbin]

Yes. Exactly like that. Sometimes an incomprehensible amount of blood will spill out and you'll see things you wish you never had.

[she hates this so much.]

[leaberator]

Why were you opening an iron maiden in the first place?

[ just. why. ]

[foodbin]

We were trying to find a way to wake someone up, and... Okay, I didn't actually think there was going to be anything of use in the torture device, but I wanted to make sure we checked everywhere to find something that could help him.

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

I can't believe I gotta tell you this, but don't wake someone up with a torture device.

[ it's a joke. ]

[foodbin]

Yes, duly noted.

[Ugh.]

I actually had a question for you, though. Hisoka doesn't have any idea about your role, right...?

[leaberator]

I don't think so. He tried to imply he thought Four was behind the food hint last weekend, but he mighta been messing with me again.

[ yes, that...was him....by the way..... can't read my own fucking hints ]

[foodbin]

Yeah, that's what he was telling me, too. I just wanted to make sure.

[Ugh.]

[leaberator]

Yeah, I prefer it stays that way.

[ ... ]

What's with his obsession with Four, anyway?

[foodbin]

...All I can tell you is that we checked her, and she isn't corrupted. The other stuff we found isn't really mine to tell, but - either way, I don't really know why he cares.

[leaberator]

[ ... He rubs the back of his neck with a sigh, looking away. ]

Look, it's good that you're trying to protect people, but I dunno how wise that is with him as a partner.

[ he holds up two fingers ]

So far, he's gone ahead and told me there was a "darkness" within Four, an' that she had a role, though he didn't know what it was exactly. Heck if I know if he's telling the truth-- I toldja his favorite spare time is messing with me-- but he's not above saying stuff just to watch people scramble.

[ he's got the clown scabs to prove it. ]

[foodbin]

...I think he probably meant that she was one of the people who interacted with the darkness and got something out of it.

[As for the second part—]

Lune said her role was protective. I don't know anything else.

[leaberator]

I don't really care what he meant, he was tryna imply to me she was corrupted.

[ it's blunt, and a tad. annoyed. just because he can see he's being gaslighted does not mean he enjoys it, ]

I wasn't asking for the details. [ though he obviously? is interested, as he inclines his head in thought ] I'm trying to tell you that there's no saying I'm the only person Hisoka's going around implying things to.

[foodbin]

...I know.

[She sighs.]

I've been trying to only check people that I think I need to. I don't know what he's doing with the information he's been getting, but I know he sent a note about Four to North and Shess had to tell her that she wasn't corrupted.

[leaberator]

[ he doesn't look very surprised about that. ]

Yeah, sounds about right. Listen, I get why you don't wanna spread that stuff far and wide. And I'm fine without the nitty-gritty details of people's personal lives. [ who gave the power to spy on who people talked to to hisoka. honestly. ] But the gist of stuff like that, or what messed up stuff you think he might be up to...

[ he looks away ]

Sol sent you to me so we could share info, right? There's not a lot of point to it if you don't tell me anything.

[ is this a tad hypocritical. yeah a lot ]

[foodbin]

You sure you don't have enough to worry about already?

[It's joking, though, and she nods.]

I know. But the same goes for you, okay?

[leaberator]

... Yeah, I know. I'll tell ya if anything comes up. Scout's honor.

[foodbin]

...Somehow, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you were a boy scout.

[leaberator]

[ he just. laughs, outright, at that one ]

Me? What?

[foodbin]

What, you don’t think you’re... a little bit pure about some things?

[goodbye]

[leaberator]

[ incredulous: ]

No. That ... no.

[ wanna spell it out, Emma. ]

[foodbin]

You’re saying you didn’t look like a fire engine when I kissed you?

[leaberator]

[ speaking of there it goes again ]

That's not-- the same thing at all! How's that make me a boy scout?
