Magician's Choice [OPEN]

[debauchewy]

WHO: Hisoka and EVERYONE, anyone.
WHERE: Various
WHEN: Throughout May
WHAT: Lots of stuff. A catch all and open prompts for those interested.
WARNINGS: General Hisoka warning. So, anything from tame sexual implications to violence and gore.

[ The Preamble ]

[Not that he wasn't busy last month, but he feels as though he has things to get back into after everything that happened. Things like- mindless sports, going to arcades, shopping. Things the undead or like undead just kind of get in the way of.]

[Yes, he certainly had fun, certainly kept active during the end of April. It would have been easy for many people to point Hisoka out in the chaos here and there, moving through those hoards or problematic citizens with ease. Often even attacking them back should they come after him, even killing some that really made a display. And the blood was- good.]

[Very good.]

[But killing zombies really isn't that fun when it comes down to it. Rather boring actually. So May's gonna be a nice month of finding that routine again! Well, whatever Hisoka calls a routine anyway.]

[ A ] - Heropa : StarCity Arcade

[Video games were never something Hisoka indulged in often, especially not back home. But they certainly had things he was interested in. Dating Sims for example, very fun, he's always enjoyed romance, and learning the tropes and memes that go along with it? Seeing all possible scenarios? Fun! Anything with puzzles and tactics tended to play into his interests as well which opened up a very wide range of games to be enjoyed. Of course, sitting down for long periods of time was something he wasn't very interested in, his attention span was quite limited if something wasn't really good. So Hisoka had a tendency, when he did play them at all, to constantly switch from one game to another.]

[So what better place for that than an arcade?]

[He's only here because he happened to walk past it and was intrigued by a rhythm game in the front of the store. Lights for one, like some kind of cat, caught his attention quickly and it wasn't long before he was getting quarters and infront of some fighting simulator. There IS a second side to it incase anyone's interested in playing along, and from the back, Hisoka's grey suit and white hair makes him look rather unassuming? That or maybe schooling him in a fighting game could be fun.]

[But he'll be around, he moves from game to game quickly. One could easily cross paths with him on a dancing simulator, or a side scrolling beat 'em up, to some racing game where the seat is almost just too small.]

[ B ] - Nonah : Twinkle Toes

[The large glass doors make it easy to both see all that this store holds (shoes, shoes, more shoes, maybe purses too), as well as then stacks of boxes towering nearby a brightly dressed man who is slightly distressing the store clerks. The women that work there have been trying their best to appease this person but ever since he made sure they knew he was shopping for himself they've had some- trouble. It's not that he's a man really, though a man in that sort of clothing is a bit strange, nice physique or not. It's that he's tried on over twenty things by now and doesn't seem any closer to buying anything.]

[Truth be told. He's just enjoying trying on shoes. But the amount of times he has to get them to go back and get him larger sizes is starting to wear on their nerves. Hisoka notices of course. He just doesn't care. He certainly plans to leave with something, somethings(?), but will see to finding exactly what, even if it means making this day a difficult one for those working here.]

[Maybe he just needs a good second opinion?]

[ C ] - Maurtia Falls : Passione Casino

[Perhaps at a dealer's table for Poker or a more novelty option- a dice game known as Cee-lo, Hisoka can be found. Hands always fast on the cards and always a bit of a spectacle with how he handles them, giving a sort of magician's flare to everything to put on more of a show. He gets players quickly and often do they stay for a while. It's mostly due to how he keeps the chatter high, enjoying various conversations he has and always managing to keep words going along with the cards and chips. Play a few rounds and you might notice your chips are gone before you know it! He does well to distract with a good topic or two, or some flirting. Either way, if you choose to let him deal a few rounds with you, enjoy the attention, he certainly does.]

A new round? Were you lingering close by in wait for it? I'm embarrassed, just for me~?

[That or maybe it's finally after hours and Hisoka's enjoying a drink at the bar. Something equally showing and sweet, possibly with fruit or possibly on fire. A bit hunched over the bar with his fingers sliding over the bottom of the glass. He has a rather dead look in his eyes, staring through the bottles behind the bar, past the tender when he passes by. An expression not really matching the light purple paisley suit he opted to wear for work today.]

[ D ] - Heropa : Some park. What do people even name parks.

[Man what a great day. What a great day for a walk, and this park? Gosh this park is so nice. So well maintained, zombie free after last's months crazy shenanigans. Everything is so nice and spring is really just great, huh? Green grass, blooming trees, people enjoying walks with their dogs, outings with their kids, frisbees coming right at your face fuck you need to duck or something if you can, it's going way faster than a normal frisbee.]

[ E ] - ANYWHERE : Make your own, he's pretty easy to happen upon in most places and situations, if you have an idea for a prompt here and you're unsure or wanna plan it out, let me know!

Comments

[ursawhiner]

[Dipper's forehead twinges a little.]

Uh, no thanks. I don't think I'm really up to your level.

[debauchewy]

Isn't that part of the fun? If we play now and again later, you'd only improve. Isn't that incentive enough?

Hehe~ Well it being fun helps as well.

[ursawhiner]

Okay, but be honest. How many times do you plan on smacking me in the face?

[debauchewy]

None at all.

[ursawhiner]

Wow, seriously? ...It's not because you're going to aim for other parts of my body, is it?

[debauchewy]

I wouldn't think of it. A strange male harming a child? Wouldn't that be illegal? [Gosh Dipper. Hisoka's got a point though. He's pretty much what your parents are talking about when they say 'don't speak to strangers'.]

[ursawhiner]

You're already talking to a random kid in a park. That's supposed to be shady as heck.

[This child possibly has no sense of stranger danger.]

[debauchewy]

And still you're agreeing to play. Does that make me shady or does that make you not so smart~? [A smile, stepping back, playing with the frisbee in a hand now.]

Or perhaps we're both.

[ursawhiner]

You've already said you won't hit me in the face again. What's the worst that could happen?

[Dipper adjusts his hat and sets the kittens aside at a safe distance.]

[debauchewy]

What a dangerous question to ask.

[Bye bye kitten. He'll keep moving away, getting a good distance between them.]

[ursawhiner]

...Not exactly reassuring, dude.

[He plants himself in an estimate of the ready position.]

[debauchewy]

It's important to be self aware.

[A shrug! He turns, and he'll lightly toss it.]

[And it find of just

falls short of Dipper. Like, very short. It's just on the ground now.]

[ursawhiner]

Wow.

[He stares at the poor, poor Frisbee.]

Okay, not gonna lie, this is usually how my games of catch go.

[debauchewy]

You usually don't catch it? Why am I not surprised. You should probably run for it next time.

[ursawhiner]

I didn't expect your throw to be so wimpy! The last time you threw it, it was like a bullet!

[debauchewy]

[The frisbee suddenly jumps up from the ground and back into Hisoka's hand. he'll start to wind up-!]

So like a bullet again, all right-

[ursawhiner]

[Dipper dives to the ground and does some very manly shrieking.]

No! Nonononono! Something in the middle! Slow pitch is fine!

[debauchewy]

[He laughs at that, moving a hand over his mouth before sliding it over to set on his cheek. This boy certainly wasn't as interesting or alluring as Gon, or Ken are but- he's definitely entertaining. Such a scared and dynamic thing. He wonders what sort of world be comes from...]

[One full of secrets perhaps?]

Hahaha- okay, I won't. Maybe a little harder this time though? In the middle still might be too much for you. [Points at.]

[ursawhiner]

Maybe... something to gauge my strength? I mean, I'm definitely not as strong as you.

[Too late, Dipper realises he's being teased. Hopefully no one saw his brief panic.]

[debauchewy]

[Huhu, aww, thank you small child he's not going to bother remembering the name of!]

[Hisoka will definitely toss it again, gauging his strength. It'll be right to Dipper's chest but will send him flying back. Not enough to really hurt him, but more like a huge, heavy gust of wind. Well, a heavy gust of wind can still hurt... let's hope his tail bone is safe!]

[ursawhiner]

[He catches it, but still ends up falling over onto his butt. Athletic has never been used to describe Dipper Pines.]

Ow. That's pretty good, I think!

[debauchewy]

[A small applause!]

Just like that? What a good show. [What a strong face, little man. He lifts a hand, curling his fingers. Throw it back now.]

[ursawhiner]

...Why do I feel like you're still mocking me?

[He throws it back with a decent amount of weight. For a human boy, at least.]

[debauchewy]

[Because he is.]

[...Shrug!]

I'm not sure, are you sure it's me?

[Or is it your own awareness of you own short comings that make you worried people are making fun of you a lot?]

[A certainly normal throw from Dipper, Hisoka takes the step or two needed to catch it, quickly hurling it back. Like, really hurling it. Dipper might need to run and dive.]

[ursawhiner]

[Naively believing that since the first throw was okay, Dipper attempts to catch the second. And gets it right in the stomach.]

Augh!
