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.]
Even with a group of weirdos like this? [He is including himself in there it's fine. But he'll nod anyway, since hilariously, he is a great person to tell secrets to since 99% of the time he does not care enough to blab.]
[looks at the camera like i'm on the office for the second time today
Anyway, he seems to just take this at face value. Clapping his hands together!]
Oh, wow! Hah, it's kind of funny. We have living urban legends where I'm from, but they're all still curses in the end. We don't actually have things like vampires or elves. It's pretty fun being able to meet so many different types, here!

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.

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.]

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?

no subject
they shrug slightly.] Technically, no. I'm not.
no subject
Technically? There are a lot of you that are or aren't human by technicality... Can I ask what you are?
no subject
You can, but if you tell anybody I'll lose my mind. Got it?
no subject
But sure, I got it.

Like vampires or elves. [they seem amused.] So - what, curses are just like, the personification of hate, right?
