Can I ask exactly what they said? Lune was vague with me.

[leaberator]

They were vague with me, too, honestly. Said if I wanted more details, I'd have to ask later. It's like talking to a magic eight ball.

[ it's? terrible. ]

But they did say I was right when I guessed there were more hanging out than just the two we know of.

[nonbelligerent]

That's good to know. A pity we don't seem to be closer to figuring out who they are or what exactly they can do, though.

I thought maybe Minato, since he likes Hisoka, but he didn't seem to have any idea what I was talking about. [a beat.] Though he had been playing in the casino nonstop for days, so he wasn't entirely coherent either.

[leaberator]

Yeah, I don't think he left the casino for longer than the ten minutes I dragged him kicking and screaming out of it.

[ there was no kicking or screaming involved. ]

The list of people who'd trust Hisoka with that kind of information is pretty small, but...

[ but the other option is that it is. hisoka. himself. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Unless he was lying about someone else telling him. It wouldn't be the only incorrect information he gave me at the time, at least.

[this is terrible.]

[leaberator]

... Yeah, that's the option I'm worried about.

[ who potentially made the clown useful. who did this. ]

[nonbelligerent]

He could also just have friends who won't admit it?

[is that better.]

[leaberator]

[ he gives out a low laugh ]

Ah, man. Why is that somehow the best scenario?

[nonbelligerent]

Think positive.

[leaberator]

I am positive I don't want Hisoka to have an extra powers that lets him peek into people's true intentions, whatever that means.

[ shess. ]

[nonbelligerent]

At least that means any other possibility is better, right?

[leaberator]

Yeah! Any at all! I'm putting that out to the universe! Literally anyone else would be better!

[ is he being overdramatic as a joke. yes. does he still mean it. also yes. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Be careful what you wish for, Axel.

[leaberator]

I already knocked on wood, we're fine.

[ he does have a. wooden popsticle stick in his hands. the weirdo. ]

[nonbelligerent]

I take it you've been avoiding your partner, then.

[leaberator]

[ he groans a bit ]

Avoiding's the right word for it. It's like every time I turn around, he's there in the background.

[ just. watching. he frowns, a bit more serious ]

... Hey, have you had any weird stuff happen with your memories, this week?

[nonbelligerent]

Like sharing them with one's partner, you mean?

[leaberator]

That's the one. [ he grimaces a bit ] I'm glad it wasn't just us, but...

[ but sharing memories with hisoka, bad. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[shess is silent for a moment because mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

anyway.]

According to Lune, the nature of our links is fluctuating, and it's manifesting in such a way this week.

[leaberator]

"This week" sort of implies it's gonna manifest a different way another week.

[ please? kill him? instead? ]

[nonbelligerent]

It sounds that way.
