02 ❝second cut; chip removal [japanese]

[ 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?

[ He nods. That wasn't quite why, but... better to just do what he's told here. ] Okay. Sure.

[liquidate]

Golden!

[video]

[bauhinia]

You're strangely chipper.

[video]

[liquidate]

Deal with it!

[video]

[bauhinia]

It's dealt with, trust me.

[video]

[liquidate]

You should smile more. It's the best pokerface you know~

[video]

[bauhinia]

I dunno, I kinda like smiling for real.

[video]

[liquidate]

Are you accusing me of not smiling for real?!

[video]

[bauhinia]

No, just saying I don't usually feel the urge.

[video]

[liquidate]

Oh. Well, in that case, it's alright!

[video]

[bauhinia]

You sure? I don't wanna say anything offensive, y'know.

[video]

[liquidate]

Very little offends me, Hong Kong!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah? Well, that just makes me wanna be extra-careful, y'know?

[video]

[liquidate]

If something does offend me, though, you'll hear from me! Don't wooorry about it.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Hey, I'll be counting on you to tell me then.

[video]

[liquidate]

You bet your ass I will!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I wouldn't think you'd let me get away with anything like that.

[video]

[liquidate]

Not on your life!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Okay, good, as long as we're like, clear on that.

[video]

[liquidate]

Crystal~

[video]

[bauhinia]

Good. I kinda think that'll work out better for both of us.

[video]

[liquidate]

For sure! Getting to know boundaries is important.

Lemme know about yours too~ [ So he can cross them. ]

[video]

[bauhinia]

I'm not too easily offended. [ Just don't... insult Hong Kong and we're good? (To a lesser extent, don't insult Macau.) ]

[video]

[liquidate]

Gotta have some pet peeves~ [ He will find them... it is his one duty. ]

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, maybe a few. [ He's not fussed by the prospect. ]
