leaberator | catchall for shess

[ Shess might be enjoying a nice time hanging out in the flowers, but Lea's here about to ruin that as he plops down next to wherever Shess is in these gardens ]

So, the good news is, I found out who sent you that note.

[ this is how you start a conversation right ]

[uhhhhh]

Don't tell me it was Hisoka.

[ a beat ]

So you want me to lie and make up a name instead, or?

[ y e a h ]

[this is the darkest timeline]

Why me? Some kind of elaborate ploy so that I'd show it to him and he could tell you?

[ it hasn't gotten to the darkest part yet. axel leans a hand on his chin with a sigh ]

Nah. He said he was just having a little fun. ... And... That it's part of his tasks. He has to send notes every week, and he can check someone for the corruption. Maybe some other stuff, too, but he only confirmed the corruption part.

[ hell is FUCKING REAL JAN ]

[he can't even be too surprised because half the reason why he even showed hisoka the note was to see if it was actually his doing, so hurrah?? plan worked??? but this is still terrible.]

Well, that's great.

Why'd he tell you now? He denied it previously, didn't he?

[ lea looks a bit annoyed as he thinks about it ]

He wanted to be sure I was ... "faithful". Since I didn't sell him out on Saturday about being water, I guess that counted. [ he waves that off because Yeah, Faithful, Sure ] He told me all he could do that first week was send a note, and he picked you to have a little fun. He wouldn't tell me who he did check last week, but I figured it was you an' he confirmed that much.

I still don't understand why he bothered with me. I assumed he found me boring, to be honest.

[you'd think hisoka would go after someone he found entertaining???? why send the note to the guy who doesn't react.]

Then, does he not know that you're telling me?

[ he shrugs at that because he genuinely has... no idea what goes on in that clown's head, but at the question he pauses and just. laughs. ]

Nope. [ WITH 0 REMORSE ] I'd rather he not know, either. The guy's unhinged.

Agreed. As much as I'd like to understand his motivations, I won't bring it up. Thank you for telling me this.

Don't thank me too much. I'm just sharin' the knowledge that our best bet to defeating the corruption right now is a guy I can't even trust not to stalk me while I sleep.

[ hell is real :) haha :) he's so tired ]

My deepest sympathies for your plight. I suppose not sleeping isn't an option for you?

Nope. I'm getting kinda jealous of all you constantly awake folks, which is a shame, 'cause I love sleeping. It's my favorite past-time.

[ he's being dramatic as a joke. maybe. ]

Well, if you need someone to warn you when he's nearby, it's not as if I do much at night besides train.

[also a joke? also maybe.]

[ he laughs ]

Watch out, don't offer that so freely, I might get desperate enough to take you up on it.

I'd say you'd owe me for having to deal with him in your place, but I suppose I owed you first.

What? Are you saying you'd offer me a night guard in exchange for the info?

[ he sounds like he thinks it's hilarious ]

[he smiles wryly.]

It's an oddly appropriate trade, isn't it?

"Protect me from Hisoka watching me sleep, I'll tell you all his secrets"? Is that what we're at?

You tell me. You're the one stuck with him either way.

Nah... I don't want him getting weird about anyone else. [ he stretches out, a bit ] Might take you up on it and take a nap right here and now, though. It doesn't count if it's during the day, right?

Unless you think he's stalking you right now.

I'm not gonna lie, I looked behind me like seventeen times before talking to you.

Not a bad idea. Hisoka does seem the very dedicated type.

And I thought I'd met some dedicated types before.

[ he flops down into the flowers fully ]

You don't actually gotta stay, but I am taking a nap. I delivered my news, we're good.

[ bad news bear, more like ]
