Apping to high_seas

[hitorabu]

You finally decide to send me somewhere, and this is what you pick? Two perfectly fine suggestions cast aside, because you want to turn me into a pirate. Not really my forte, wouldn't you say? It's a little more hands-on than I like to get on a daily basis.

But all right, all right... I'm glad to get out there at all.

Even you know that your motivation is a little twisted, though, right? From a big maybe to instant decision - over what? An app that will probably not happen. After all, she's already very busy - and it's not like I want Shizu-chan around. As for Akabayashi-san -... Well, you know my opinion of him.

I admit that I'm curious, though... How would Shizu-chan take a direct hit from a cannonball? Oh, I'm sure he'd sit still for it... if someone tied him over the cannon. [Izaya's smile widens and he finally falls silent, considering ways to achieve this.]

...

Hah? Still here? Shouldn't you start preparing for this game? You remember the questions you wanted to ask the mods, right?
You don't...
I can see this is going to go just fine.

Oh, but being a pirate is quite fun.

My mun-chan tells me you have a fairly interesting relationship--do be quiet, mun-chan--as I do with Mabe-chan, perhaps?

If you would like any assistance with tying up and test-shooting this Shizu-chan of yours, I would be open for it. I'm curious to see what what will happen.

[hitorabu]

If your relationship with this Mabe-chan consists of mutual hatred and the occasional attempt to kill each other, then yes.

Ohhh? You're very kind to offer that kind of help to a complete stranger. [There's an unspoken why? in that compliment, but Izaya is smiling, nothing but friendly.]

[silvergoldengun]

It does sound like a very familiar situations, yes. He's the more violent, though.

I can’t see why I shouldn’t. It’s always amusing seeing poeple squirm, is it not? [ He loves making people suffer, it keeps him entertained. ]

[hitorabu]

As is Shizu-chan. He says he hates violence, and then he beats two dozen men within an inch of their lives in less than ten minutes. [Men whom Izaya had sent at him, but those are mere details.] Really... How can you even have a conversation with someone like that?

I'm inclined to agree. Still, not everyone would equate people squirming with their intestines squirming out of their bellies. [Izaya's smile is sharp, but he's not judging; he's simply trying to get an impression of just what makes the other tick.]

[silvergoldengun]

If Mabe-chan disliked violence, he wouldn’t be able to be a pirate. Then again, he is just too soft for a pirate, too. I’ve met a fair amount of people who knows only to use violence, though. No, they don’t make for good convarsation partners.

Would you? It might prove an entertaining sight. [ Very few things make him tick, really. And h’es a good actor. ] Of course, not everyone would be able to handle seeing something like that without throwing up.

[hitorabu]

I would. It's not my preferred method of making people squirm, but for Shizu-chan, I'll make an exception. [If it even works on Shizuo. The guy never fails to disappoint.]

I'm sure I've seen worse. That said, I'd rather watch from a little distance away. I wouldn't want to step into something filthy.

[silvergoldengun]

Any type of squirming is nice to watch. [ People in pain, flustered, annoyed, bewildered; any! ]

I’m sure you can see worse, too. With the best seat reserved just for you.

[hitorabu]

How interesting! Was there anything in particular you had in mind?

[Izaya is open to suggestions. This could be a beautiful friendship - for about five minutes, until it becomes too dangerous for Izaya to be connected to such a person. But what a spectacular five minutes it could be...]
