Legerdemain [OPEN]

WHO: Hisoka and OPEN
WHERE: Government Holding Facility
WHEN: December 1st - December 31st
WHAT: Visitors and fellow inmates chatting it up.
WARNINGS: None yet.

It's been an incredibly long time in this holding cell, in this- prison. Only three months and Hisoka can't handle being still for more than a few moments and his sleeping periods have shrunk smaller and smaller to naps of about two hours when they do happen. Even so- he's made to sleep, or well- lay there, in the dark, and those moments are the worst. He gets by by reading network conversations. Sometimes under blankets when hall patrols are happening, and he's only gotten caught once to which he lied himself out of and just said he checked the time upon waking up.

But for the most part- he's going a little mad. Especially now with Shade gone.

His cell neighbor, speaking to him was really what was getting him through the days, not that he'd admit it to himself. Hisoka was all for waiting but- being able to do things he wanted in the mean time helped. Years upon years he'd wait but only because he could best busy himself with other people and activities. Here it's just-

Jewelry, eating, "sleeping", wandering, re ha bilitation. And it's doing him in. Maybe that's why he- was starting to like Shade despite seeing none of his abilities or strengths. They spoke often in there, and the more they did, the more Hisoka was around someone generally just- enjoying speaking to him back and forth? It made it easier to stay cam and wait.

And then Shade left.

And now- if he doesn't busy himself he might accidentally snap a guards neck without- thinking about it. The bloodlust is there. He feels it in those long nights, waiting in the dark, his hands idle, knuckles white from how tight he keeps clenching them. He knows- he'd feel better if he could just- touch someone. Feel their blood beat under his fingers, their hot flesh against his, if he could just see a reaction in their face from his hands and a moment of taking everything from them. It- it wouldn't be nearly as good as a fight, or sex- but it'd make him feel less meaningless rotting away in here.

But he can't do that.

So instead.

Should a visitor come at any time throughout the month, or another inmate wander by- they will find Hisoka sitting amidst cards. Beginning of the month it won't be so impressive, but near a week into the month, and further on the castle of cards just- continues to grow and grow around him in his room. He supposes- he feels better doing it. Not that he's thinking while stacking. Infact, he's not thinking at all the entire time. Because thinking involves missing people, and needing things. Thinking involves wondering where Chrollo has been and why he hasn't visited despite saying he would do so. The same goes for Gon and his where abouts. Wondering about Jaime and what he's been up to and finding the thought mildly arousing only to once again work himself up and have no means of letting off the steam. And let's not even get started on that- Lunatic fellow he's been hearing so much about. So- no thoughts, no thinking, just cards.

So much of rehabilitation.

It does get boring, yes. If Hisoka is bored with it, imagine how Chrollo feels. But it is what it is - and that's "necessary, for the moment." So he keeps it plastered on his face, and he nods a little at Hisoka's comment.

"You're definitely more extroverted than I am." Not that this is saying much. "Well, maybe I'll enjoy it after all. It depends on the company, doesn't it?"

Chrollo nods and... for a moment, he almost considers staying. Because Hisoka looks so... off, there. So out of place, and not himself. And it isn't as though he cares that deeply about it, but...

...he had, once, hadn't he? Before the truth became undeniable. Of course things have changed since then: Hisoka revealed his true nature, which hadn't really come as a surprise, but was nonetheless... disappointing. And with his renunciation of the Troupe, Chrollo had cast that man out of the space he kept for his Spiders. But even so, he doesn't have amnesia, not about that. Hisoka had lived inside him for years and yes, he does remember.

Of course, he also remembers that those years were an elaborate ruse to try arrange a chance to murder him for thrills. And that only a few moments ago Hisoka would have been on his throat like a rabid wolf if it weren't for that glass... not to mention that he'd purposefully twisted a knife in Chrollo's chest on the one subject that could truly wound him.

So... honestly, to hell with that. He can manage another two days of emptiness.

"Good then. I'm anticipating your new look." Chrollo gives his pretty, fake smile, and turns away. "Good night."
