o24. [Voice, Action]

[cynicism]

[It's perhaps a little passe to mention that losing a weekend is distressing. Particularly since this is the third lost weekend Hisoka's had at Luceti, and it's starting to be a bit of a routine. What's not routine is how quickly the population of House 49 has exploded with rambunctiousness. It seems like there's someone bustling around in some nook or some other cranny at all times of day. Where some might find joy in the life and virility of a big family, Hisoka primarily found headaches. Normally, he'd take times like these to seek solace in the library, but since the missing weekend, even that's been entirely too full of bibliophiles for his sensibilities. There's a lingering feeling of "too many people everywhere" that he just can't shake.

And thus, there is the journal. Hisoka settles on the edge of his bed, occasionally glancing out of his window as he flips through the journal for anything of interest.]

This damn village gets smaller every day. Isn't there anyplace left for a person to be alone? Indoors, I mean. None of that forest stuff.

It doesn't matter if I am. It's not like I can trust you.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

You trust Tsuzuki.

[action]

[cynicism]

What does that have to do with anything?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Have you had sex with him?

[action]

[cynicism]

What? Of course not!! What kind of a question is that?!

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

You trust him more than you trust me, and yet we're the ones who have had sex.

[action]

[cynicism]

We most certainly did not!

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

We did, remember? I brought you back here from the outside, and then you made me take a shower, and you decided to join me...

[action]

[cynicism]

That was an experiment!! I had no control over myself then and you know it! [He's yelling now and doesn't care. It's not like Josh has any roommates to disturb.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

You're not absolved of responsibility for your actions so easily.

It may have been a different context, but you still made those decisions. No one else.

[action]

[cynicism]

You've been trying to tell me that bullshit since it happened. Have you just been spending all this time trying to get me to fuck you?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua smiles, but there's an edge to his expression. ]

I've been spending all this time telling you to drop your petty excuses. The world does not care for your scapegoating.

If you think that means you should fuck me, so be it.

[action]

[cynicism]

You're disgusting. [And Hisoka is now storming out of the room, to barge downstairs and be out of this hugely uncomfortable situation.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

How so?

[ Joshua pulls himself up and follows Hisoka from the room.

Only because he doesn't want to be in Hanekoma's room alone. ]

[action]

[cynicism]

Shut up. I'm not playing your stupid games today. [STORMING DOWNSTAIRS.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

This isn't one of my Games.

[ And Joshua stops at the top of the stairs. ]

[action]

[cynicism]

Then what, Joshua? What's this grand quest of yours to get me to voluntarily have sex with you?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Still with the sex. [ He giggles. Sheesh man all he did was doze off next to you and then point out what you'd done months ago. ]

I help people improve themselves. That's what I do, and you know it.

[action]

[cynicism]

You're not helping.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Really? I'd call this an improvement over that passing out you did earlier.

[action]

[cynicism]

For once, shut up.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Make me.

[action]

[cynicism]

[He scowls up at Joshua for a long moment, then storms the rest of the way out of the house. If he wants to keep talking, he'll have to speak to a wall.]
