[ Rohan shows up an outfit that only further proves that he might actually have an allergy to shirts covering his stomach. He didn't dress up, or anything in particular, just wore something he liked from home. He is traveling light, for the most part. The only thing he has on him is his bag with the sketchbook as promised - signed art and all - as well as a set of pens, just in case he gets inspired after he gets a new sketchbook. ]
[ Did you think I was joking. But it seems like they will be dressed for success together. He even painted the star as his shirt and the teardrop black. But, of course, his lipstick had to be the color of his hair. He is ready to party and shop! ]
[ Rohan likes the outfit. The coordination in color and the painted additions. What can he say? He appreciates commitment to the look. So, it's not like it will hurt to answer: ]
You, too.
[ It still sounds a little insincere, because he doesn't dish out compliments about outfits often - well, ever. He cares very little for what someone wears. ]
Not that it matters, anyway. Hold out your hands.
[ Oh yeah. The sketchbook. This one was filled with cover to cover drawings. He's taken out anything that was sketches of buildings, so all that's left in this what he had said. The first few pages are figure drawings, inspiration - so to speak. Progressively, it gets more and more pornographic, though. The second half seems to be a story, of some sort. There's a lot of inexperience in this style of story telling, of course. He's never actually drawn this. He pulls it from his bag once Hisoka's hands are ready, and will drop it right into them. Oh - and Hisoka will notice the first page is signed. ]
[ He happily takes the sketchbook from Rohan. His smile only widens when he sees that the first page is signed! Doesn't he feel special. ]
I will treasure this always at night. [ Hisoka hums happily as he lifts the sketchbook up a few times into the air. One feels like he's attempting to do his own live-action remake of the Lion King and crown the sketchbook the new soon-to-be king of the city. ]
Mmn, it'd be a shame if anything happened to it~ [ Holding his hand up, he asks him to wait as he goes to put it back in his apartment for safekeeping. ] I'll buy you something nice for this~
[ He's just glad it's appreciated and will be taken care of, and will leave his thoughts at that. Though, he won't admit that he could easily replicate his work if he had to, he'll gladly accept the offer of something. Because why not? He didn't expect anything in return, of course. He was going to, he knew, likely end up using this as a good method to earn Demi-Chroma. ]
Well, I really only need a new sketchbook.
[ This is him, not arguing that idea at all. He'll gladly accept a gift as a bit of a reward for it. ]
You know, if I want to keep drawing.
[ Yeah. If - haha. He doesn't know how to not spend every second drawing. ]
[ Prancing back out, he offers a quick series of nods about needing only a new sketchbook. ]
I should hope you want to keep drawing!
[ As before, he steps forward to link arms with Rohan. Hisoka has found a way to speedrun friendships with people. It doesn't always work, but when it works, it works!
He hums as he looks close at Rohan's face. Still not strong enough to fight, but the ability he has is quite useful. And~ he might end up finding those that are strong.
His dark thoughts churn and churn before he tosses them to the side. Why? Because he also thinks its fun to just go shopping and having a time picking out hideous outfits for the sake of looking avant-garde! ]
Let's get you a coat, too! It'll be winter eventually. Maybe? Who knows? [ Maybe it'll be like Greed Island where the weather never changes~! ]
[ Rohan accepts the arm link. It's a good way to earn Chroma without too much effort, and it's just Hisoka, after all. He's not the easiest person to get along with, personally, but Hisoka doesn't seem bothered by his attitude. Probably why he keeps pestering him. ]
A coat? Alright. A coat, too. I wonder if we'll get different weather. It never occurred to me that we wouldn't.
[ Though he didn't mind the idea of staying this season for ever. He starts to lead towards shopping. ]
Though this wouldn't be so bad to be like this all year. It's pleasant.
[ He cannot help but blink a few times at that idea. But he does lift his chin up and go, "Ah." ]
We can always ask the people who came before us if the weather changes, too. Though, even if it doesn't, if the coat is nice enough... no reason not to wear it. [ 'Cause it's fun. Do it because it's fun! The only reason to do anything! ]
Or at least, he's willing to join him in his shenanigans.
Yes, he could be hunting down strong people to fight -- and that is always on his mind, but this is an alien planet. It's strange and there is a lot of fun things that a person can engage in. So, why not do everything! ]
[ He can joke, too. Besides, despite the annoyance that Hisoka often brings, Rohan finds him tolerable and, well... funny. Plus, he finds it easy to gain just a little bit of Chroma, even with just holding his arm as they walk. He's going to do what he has to do. ]
Shopping, then.
[ He knows, at least, how to get there this time, so he's not about to let Hisoka lead him in circles. You know, again. So if Hisoka even starts to stray, he'll definitely feel a tug in the right direction. ]
He gets bored fairly easily so it is always nice to have people that break up a day that would otherwise be boring. Even being on an alien planet doesn't stop him from becoming bored. And that is only because his brand of entertainment isn't something he can partake in constantly. ]
Shopping.
[ Hisoka does have to end up tugged along to the right direction every so often -- he might have tried to lure Rohan over to a red light district area, before being dragged back in the direction of where clothes are. (Boohoo!) ]
[ He'll take it as a compliment for now, at least. He hums a little. He does notice the shift towards the red light districts, and when he notices - his tug gets far more aggressive than it would have been had it been a simple distraction. He's unapologetic about it, as well. He doesn't want to be dragged there, especially with Hisoka. ]
Yes, shopping. For clothes and things. Not --
[ Vague gestures. ]
Playing around. You won't be able to fool me twice.
[ Yeah, he knows how you enjoy leading him in circles. ]
[ He gives a peek to where he has been trying to lead them -- at least the direction of them -- even as he is dragged towards more the shopping center. ]
It takes chroma to spend time there, but you gain chroma being there, huh? I suppose what you spent won't be what you use ... Though, that's for us Moonblessed... for the actual people, it isn't like that at all. I wonder if the exchange is more in our favor, then.
[ Long. Disbelieving stare. He ponders. He'd been there on a few occasions, for the explicit purpose of learning more for his artwork and nothing else. ]
I'd assume it works more in our favor. It seems to be that way so far, at least. But, I don't really know. It's not like I visit there for anything other than research. It doesn't require much Chroma if you're just walking around.
That's a shame, because you're very handsome. You could get great quality.
[ As he gives his compliment, Hisoka has his eyes closed with his face directed toward the ground. When he finishes, he lifts his head back up to smile brightly at Rohan. ]
But I see. Rohan-sensei is very dedicated to his work. [ Sliding his arm out of the arm-loop, he rests his hand on the artist's opposite shoulder as he lightly bops the side of his head against Rohan's. ]
I like that. I like that a lot. [ Being dedicated is very good. It's a shame that Rohan is still around a 35-40. But that shows some potential. ]
[ He barely reacts when Hisoka bops him or touches his shoulder. Maybe he's getting used to it. I don't know. ]
It's all I care about.
[ Well, not all. There's more things, of course. But life is easier for him when he's able to fully commit himself to work and not worry about other things. ]
To be good at things, you have to be willing to dedicate yourself. Otherwise, what is the point?
[ He cocks his head to the side, like the question itself is silly even though he is the one who complimented Rohan first. ]
If a person wants to be good... they have to train themselves to death. [ Hisoka pauses to offer a wide, wide smile at his companion. ] And ... they can't forget the basics that got them to where they are now.
As soon as they forget the foundation of what built them up, it won't take much for anyone to come over and destroy everything they've achieved. [ His shoulders bob up and down as he laughs to himself. Yes, those Nen users that keep focusing on bigger and stronger abilities and power... forget what let them first get that power.
All the abilities of Nen ... are basic and build off one another... if they're forgotten... even one step... that'll make a person trash within seconds. ]
That said! I hope nothing comes to destroy you, Rohan-sensei. [ There is sincerity in his words. But it comes from a place that is selfish. He finds the artist to be funny and fun to be around, and so it would be sad if he ended up broken when Hisoka doesn't want to break him. That's all. ]
[ He nods. It makes sense to him. And, knowing that Hisoka is skilled and how he is skilled - he figured he would agree. That was how he worked with manga. He was always told that he can't forget where he started - what made him a good creator. And he never did. His basics were always built upon. He applied the same logic to Heaven's Door. He was sure there was always more to know. ]
With my Stand, it should be a non-issue.
[ But, the sincerity is noticed. Not that he trusts it, of course. Not fully. He has no reason to. ]
I so appreciate your concern, though. If an enemy Stand user appears, you'll be the first to know.
[ Does Hisoka just want to fight them? Probably. He doesn't care. ]
[ Hisoka wonders about the limits of Heaven's Door. Does it take everything literally? If so, there are ways to get around the orders written onto a person's soul. Like, "Don't lie to Rohan Kishibe." Could a person then tell half-truths. So long as there is something truthful in what is being said, could it be considered a lie by what is written? Or because the person knows that it is a lie, it won't work?
His stare darkens just a little as he decides to increase the ranking that he originally gave Rohan. Manipulators are actually rather difficult to fight if they are truly serious. However, there is always a trick to their skill. With Illumi, it is avoiding those Nen-infused needles of his. 'Course, a person should avoid those needles in general! ]
Hey, hey! Rohan-sensei, how does Heaven's Door work? [ His voice bounces and bounces as he leans in, interested. ]
And ... of course. If there is an enemy Stand user, please let me know. I'll be sure to protect you from them.
[ There's always stipulations. Rohan, absolutely, has to be the fastest. And he's very fast. His mind, his hands - everything works fast. It's just how he was before he ever had his stand. Heaven's Door was perfect for him. Stands tend to match the person though, so it makes sense in his mind. He keeps his explanation open ended. Easy. ]
Think of Heaven's Door as... editing your story. It becomes a part of you.
