Fuda # 2 (Dial 1 to deny everything, dial 2 to dig yourself deeper.)
[I should have known better than to fix the frying pan with duct tape before using it. Those pancakes really didn't taste good. Not even with syrup. ...Hisoka looks thoughtful today. Maybe he's daydreaming. I wish I knew--
T-there's got to be a way for this not to be readable. Is it possible to lie when it records this? Testing. My eyes are blu...rple. B- bl-p--ewwwple. Purple. :/
Maybe if I count sheep for the rest of my days I'll be safe. One sheep, two sheep, three...]
Hijiri, I'm going to plant flowers today! So if there's anything you and Duo want under your windows, let me know. And sorry about the mess in the kitchen, I'll try to clean it up later, and get a new frying pan. The old one practically fell apart.

What's in it?
That's about it. And keep an eye on the journals for the latest list of known baddies, I guess.
[action]
[Thankfully, now there's pizza! So Tsuzuki can finally shut his mouth and excuse himself because of food. Or so he thinks, loudly. He swallows his bite, and has to stop before he takes another.] It's very good, Duo.
.....List of baddies? That's practical. Can you add names to it?
[action]
If you're sure they're bad guys, yeah. Like if someone kills you or if someone's from your world and you wanna write the guy down, I'm sure people would appreciate the heads up.
[action]
[tries some of the pizza and chews it thoughtfully...]
Yeah, people keep adding to the list.
[action]
I have to find out where they keep that.
[action]
So Muraki's a bad guy? What'd he do?
[action]
Yeah, who's Muraki?
[action]
[Tsuzuki stops eating, and pushes himself away from the table. The conversation is that serious to him.] He's a mass murderer. It's important that you stay away from him. Both of you. Do you understand?
[action]
Yeah, but I think Hijiri here got a pretty good prize himself~
You say that like it's somethin' new. Wonder if I'd count as one. Naw, think circumstances make a difference. Well maybe... [Duo looks pretty confused. He's spent his time killing and being on L2 introduced him to plenty of people who really would be considered mass murderers. He doesn't want Hijiri anywhere near the guy, but Duo's not scared for himself.]
[action]
Oh, someone thinks he's a pretty good prize then~?
I'll stay away from him if I see him. Shouldn't be too hard to spot his silver hair. You've had to fight him before, Tsuzuki?
Re: [action]
Yes, I have. He's... If he comes here, don't listen to anything he says.
[Tsuzuki takes another piece of pizza, since it was delicious.] What did you mean, Duo?
[action]
I think I'm a great prize~
[Duo looks very seriously at Hijiri.] You'd better stay away from anyone dangerous. Any kind of dangerous.
[Duo turns his attention back to Tsuzuki.] What do ya mean, what do I mean? 'bout mass murders not bein' anything new? They're really not. I mean, the guy could be really sick, mutilate people or something and I don't want the kids or anyone near him, but they're nothin' new, nothing special.
[action]
Sure you are~
[sighs a bit, will you two stop being so overprotective] I will.
[action]
I'm glad the two of you found one another. [Stopping being overprotective? Never! It'd be a quiet and sad house without Hijiri.] Take good care of him, will you, Duo?
[He sighs, looking at the restaurant. He hadn't considered making a home in Luceti, but it looks like these two have managed well. He turns to Duo again.] I think you misunderstood. [Tsuzuki looks down at his hands, then tries to pretend he didn't.]
[action]
'course I'll take good cara him! It's my job! [There's a lot more to it than that and Duo's not going to explain it, but if Tsuzuki can read really quickly, he might catch some things about tamed Shinigami, souls, a maid, and killing anyone who would think about hurting Hijiri.]
Hey, man. [Does Duo sound a little concerned about Tsuzuki? Naw, must just be the imagination. He wouldn't be concerned about his rival.] You alright? I don't know what's really goin' on with you and this guy, but I'm startin' ta guess. I was just sayin' that was a ya ta make a mass murderer sick.
[action]
Please don't encourage his paranoia, Tsuzuki! If he tries to protect me any more than he does now, I'll be stuck indoors forever!
[and just watching... Duo is actually trying to comfort Tsuzuki?]
[action]
We just want you to avoid the worst of the lot! Right, Duo?
[Comfort is comfort is comfort. Tsuzuki accepts it willingly.] Sure. Why wouldn't I be fine? [He smiles, briefly.] I just don't want to see him here.
[Tsuzuki leans back in his chair, trying to find a way to sit comfortably with the wings in the way.] You said you don't know much about him? I could tell you some of it, if you were interested. ...And done eating.
[action]
It's not paranoia if people are really tryin' to kill ya. I don't wanna keep Hijiri away from the worst. I wanna keep him away from anyone who's gunna hurt him in any way. I'd tie 'im to the bed and be done with it if I thought I could.
[Duo's not trying to comfort him at all. How could someone think something like that?]
Nothin's gunna ruin my appetite, but I don't want Hijiri hearin' the details.
[action]
That's just your excuse to tie me to the bed..
I can handle the details.
[action]
Er.
If you're sure. He's not, say, someone who is famous for starting wars. He... his murders are often personal. He took care of a girl for several years, gave her a heart transplant, and then drugged her until her mind split. ... And then killed her whole family and then her. She was a friend of Hisoka.
[action]
I don't need an excuse. Tsuzuki thinks of sheep after thinking about sex? Ew.
Sounds like a sick fuck. Don't say anymore with Hijiri around. Don't want him havin' nightmares. Don't think about him anymore either. That guy really needs ta go on the list, but now we're talkin' about somethin' else. Like pizza. I like pizza. All kinds. Doesn't matter what ya put on it, except heads it's still great.
[action]
'course you do... What's this about sheep?
... that... that's just... wait, Hisoka actually had a friend? A... girl... friend?
[action]
They're fluffy and looks like marshmallows. I use to think about them when I try to keep my mind off of things.
G- girlfriend? I don't kno-- Isn't that a very loaded word?
[action]
Hmmm guess that works if you don't want people seein' your thoughts.
Yeah, he'd have ta actually have someone like him for him ta have a girl friend. And I don't think that guy really even makes friends. Makes it more fun ta annoy him that way. He's popular with me and he's all mine and the girls can't have him.
[action]
I see.
I just can't really imagine Hijiri letting someone get close enough to him to be his girlfriend...
