He stares up and sees nothing but circus top... Still, he stretches his hands up, anyway.]
A whole-ass circus... [Just echoing it back as he nods in understanding.....] I've never been inside one before. [EVEN THOUGH HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN THERE. Though he'll shoot Wrath a curious glance after that!]
Yeah, right? It's like you get smacked with the sense memory sometimes. [they kick at the ground a bit.] He's back where I came from, yeah. I haven't - uh, well, it's complicated! But I haven't been able to talk to him for years.
Mmhm! Like the smell of a theater or hospital room, right?
[Why are those his examples... God. He'll abandon his inspection of this area of the circus, moving over to look up at the tightrope.]
Yeah? That must be pretty hard. [A quiet little hum.] Not that I have any brothers, but I know someone who has a lot! And he loves all of them a lot, too.
[That seems to pique his interest a little, if only because the idea of the avatars having to read up on people here like plebes is hilarious to him on a personal level.]
Well, I found out what you are, what you like to do to people, and what you're here for. All of the above are horrifying! [they don't sound that horrified.]
[dw is really saying no flea rights this game im in tears
ANYWAY that's exactly how Mahito views things, they are so right! There are a scattered (non-human) few who have risen above the "haha neat toy" level, but even then, his emotional scope doesn't extend far.]
Oooh... [Said as if he understands something now, but who knows what the heck that something is. Then, with a nod:] Mm, yep! That's the way most people feel, but usually a lot more of it.
[BEING WIGGED OUT BY A CURSE IS PUTTING IT SO LIGHTLY.]
[YEAH WHAT THE HECKIE he is an innocent flea... just a lil guy......
He seems more amused than concerned, though.]
Yeah, that's fair. [Which he says in a very genuine way?? god i hate mahito] I'm pretty used to people keeping an eye on me. A lot more, usually! But, hey - does that mean you're not human, either?
[Honestly, this entire situation is very new and strange to him?? He's a malicious creature by nature, but most of the inherent venom in him is innately directed toward humankind, just because of what he is. Non-humans are also proving themselves to be surprisingly human-like in a lot of cases here, but it's funky as hell to interact with things without feeling the kneejerk gross in his soul.]

be right there
[AND AWAY HE WILL GO, TO THE CIRCUS, WHERE HE FUCKING BELONGS ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER CLOWNS HERE. Where is... this fire-footed creachur.....]
no subject
they are in the center ring, staring up at the ceiling. their flame feets are going strong.
... they fingergun at mahito, what's up.]
no subject
Anyway he fingerguns right back, with both hands!! Before sliding them into his pockets as he moseys over with a grin.]
Whatcha looking at?
[He too will stare up at the ceiling?! Is there a secret body in the tent, he hopes so.]
no subject
Nothing, just - sort of marveling over what this place looks like, you know? A whole-ass circus! Crazy.
[there's nothing up there, just vague circus noises.]
no subject
He stares up and sees nothing but circus top... Still, he stretches his hands up, anyway.]
A whole-ass circus... [Just echoing it back as he nods in understanding.....] I've never been inside one before. [EVEN THOUGH HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN THERE. Though he'll shoot Wrath a curious glance after that!]
Are these places just as new to you guys, then?
no subject
Not entirely. It is the first time I've been in here, though. The smell of popcorn usually makes me feel sick.
no subject
[He lowers his arms down again and begins walking a little circle around the center ring. Stopping by... the Hisoka outfit.....]
no subject
I think it's been long enough that it doesn't bother me as much anymore. [they watch him go... please don't take the hisoka outfit.]
no subject
Just kidding he'd never deprive the real Hisoka of his clothes, as he is probably scuttling about naked in the vents looking for them as they speak.]
Ah... Kind of funny how food memories like that last so long, huh? [Wild! He pokes at the cloth, but turns back to face Wrath curiously.]
Your brother isn't here, I take it? Back wherever it is you came from...?
no subject
Yeah, right? It's like you get smacked with the sense memory sometimes. [they kick at the ground a bit.] He's back where I came from, yeah. I haven't - uh, well, it's complicated! But I haven't been able to talk to him for years.
no subject
Mmhm! Like the smell of a theater or hospital room, right?
[Why are those his examples... God. He'll abandon his inspection of this area of the circus, moving over to look up at the tightrope.]
Yeah? That must be pretty hard. [A quiet little hum.] Not that I have any brothers, but I know someone who has a lot! And he loves all of them a lot, too.
no subject
And yeah. It is hard. Having a sibling is the worst and best thing in the world. This person a friend of yours, or just an acquaintance?
no subject
[Said with a curious little tilt of his head... He abandons the tightrope soon too, and makes his way back over to i almost typed rage WRATH.]
Is it? [He doesn't know these things!!] Ah - I'd call him a work colleague, I guess. We haven't known each other very long, but I like him!
no subject
[they seem to be watching him pretty closely.]
You like a lot of people, it seems like. [they say this dubiously.]
no subject
Yeah, I do. [He doesn't seem to be lying when he says that, either.] Is it that surprising?
no subject
[sniff.]
no subject
Eh? I'm curious! What did you find?
no subject
Well, I found out what you are, what you like to do to people, and what you're here for. All of the above are horrifying! [they don't sound that horrified.]
no subject
Anyway yeah Mahito's gotten used to people not being horrified by him here, which he finds both perplexing and also intriguing. He loves it!]
Yep! [DON'T JUST AGREE.] But that doesn't mean I can't like people, too.
no subject
no subject
Yeah? It isn't? [He says this with seemingly genuine curiosity, folding his hands behind his back.] What would you say it is, then?
no subject
Seems kind of more to me like you're, uh, playing with them. Like toys. It's not a real sort of thing. Wigs me out a bit.
no subject
ANYWAY that's exactly how Mahito views things, they are so right! There are a scattered (non-human) few who have risen above the "haha neat toy" level, but even then, his emotional scope doesn't extend far.]
Oooh... [Said as if he understands something now, but who knows what the heck that something is. Then, with a nod:] Mm, yep! That's the way most people feel, but usually a lot more of it.
[BEING WIGGED OUT BY A CURSE IS PUTTING IT SO LIGHTLY.]
no subject
I don't, uh. I can't get on people for seeing things differently because they're not human. That'd be hypocritical.
I'm keeping an eye on you. That's all. [very foreboding, wrath.]
no subject
He seems more amused than concerned, though.]
Yeah, that's fair. [Which he says in a very genuine way?? god i hate mahito] I'm pretty used to people keeping an eye on me. A lot more, usually! But, hey - does that mean you're not human, either?
