[ AUDIO/VIDEO/TEXT ]

[ The communicator clicks on. Immediately the sound of dripping, a hollow sort of clawing and then a loud splash crackles through the speakers. ]

No, I don't want to record, how do I- can't turn this off, where's the button for this... shit, this is embarrassing. Ah, whatever. [ Suigetsu has had no shame for the majority of his life anyway, why start feeling sheepish now? It's clear, however, that the communicator is half-submerged in water held in what appears to be a bathtub. It's why the audio is muffled, why the video is bubbly and obscure.

He tries to gather his liquid form up, managing a head and shoulders, but his skin is oozing and he drops right back down again. The most he can handle at the moment is getting his chin above the surface, hair fanning out around him. ]

Fuck this!

[ ACTION ]

Sasukeee...?

[ For anyone in 1113 in Dissimulo, Suigetsu might need some help. He's feeling kind of hungry and a lot bored. He doesn't mind whining like a little bitch about his condition, especially to his teammate. There's a long pause before he decides to try him again. ]

Sasuke, answer me, I know you're out there! You can't avoid me forever!

[ He splashes around for a bit, mouth submerged so he can blow tiny, angry bubbles. Then he resorts to more indirect methods. Soon, he may explore the pipes, but for now, he settles into his porcelain basin. ]

Cliiiiiiive?

[bauhinia]

Glad to hear it. [ He gives a little salute. ]

He's my brother. [ He shrugs a bit. ] Plus he's a good guy. He deserves a little credit sometimes.

[video]

[liquidate]

At ease! [ Then a moment of contemplation. ] You're a good guy I've decided.

... You're not trying to push him onto me or something right...

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ Obediently relaxing, for some reason. ] Yeah? Thanks.

No, nothing like that. I mean, if he wanted, he'd do that himself, y'know?

[video]

[liquidate]

Alright. [ Squint. ] Well I'll be watching you two!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Sure, yeah. Be my guest and everything.

[video]

[liquidate]

I intend to be!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Good, that like, makes things easier.

[video]

[liquidate]

What, were you gonna drag me over there? Kufufu!

[video]

[bauhinia]

No, I'd just have to keep bugging you and I bet that'd be a pain for both of us.

[video]

[liquidate]

Ugh, probably! Naggers that never quit are infuriating. I'm glad I accepted to get you off my back then. [ Wink. ]

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, see, we both pretty much win this way.

[video]

[liquidate]

I looove win-win situations!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Who doesn't, right?

[video]

[liquidate]

Right you are, Hong Kong~

But I like winning more.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Someone's gotta come out on top eventually, yeah?

[video]

[liquidate]

You're so complaisant.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Is that what that is?

[video]

[liquidate]

I think so. You agree to a lot of stuff easily, we went over this!

Have you ever argued with someone before? Defended your opinion?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, sure. If it's important.

[video]

[liquidate]

What if I insulted your family? You'd have a strong opinion then, huh?

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ He looks a bit more sober. ] Yeah, that'd probably get a different reaction.

[video]

[liquidate]

What if I was like, "Your brother's a four eyes~"

What would that do?

[video]

[bauhinia]

I'd just think you were weird, honestly.

[video]

[liquidate]

Hahaha well that's already been established.

Your brother is a four eyes, but that doesn't matter, I have met some pretty sick guys with glasses.

[video]

[bauhinia]

He's a little weird too sometimes, but not sick or anything. [ Yeah, clearly he's not fussed somehow. ]
