Third Cabbage Joke (And a Guest!) | Corrupted/Accidental Video

[bitchingwhores]

Whoa, whoa, whoa--

[Well, if this isn’t already an odd feed. Not that there’s a good view given anyhow, but-- Wait, what’s that sound? The view is so construed that it’s difficult to tell anything, let alone-- Damn it, there’s that sound again! What the hell is it?]

Hey, could you stop moving and you know...not make this difficult?

[God damn you, Kristen Souji, for getting a word in before me, but obviously this comes before any of that.]

[As soon as the feed cuts, Izaya is laughing, positively gleeful.]

So like that? It probably worked out really well, I'd say. It's not like we could go back and retry anyway. Oh wait, you can't actually hear me. Hah!

[bitchingwhores]

I think we got him! Oh, and hold on. Just keep on facing my voice, okay? I can read your lips just fine.

[Adachi trails off as he leans down for his communicator. Is he yelling right now? He really can't tell. His voice drops sharply when he speaks again.]

It takes two geniuses to be able to pull this off~ I just wish you could see. It sucks having to talk when I can't even hear myself! I could be sounding so stupid right now, y'know?

But it really does taste good right now. Mm.

[has_signed_on]

Reading lips, huh? Is that some kind of necessary police skill or something you're just naturally good at? [In some really dramatic display of touching everything, Izaya settles down on a bed. Even if it was your bed before, it is now his bed.

But at least he's kind enough to not speak until actually facing Adachi again. For the most part. Probably.]

If you sounded stupid, would it taste like stupid? I actually can't imagine what any of this might taste like right now.

[bitchingwhores]

Ah, let's just say I'm really good at it and keep it at that. [Oh, shit, he has an Izaya on his bed. What do?

Who cares? He just sits down on the edge of his bed. Yes, his bed.]

Don't know. It makes me wonder what stupidity would-- what the hell, raisins. Why raisins?

[He's grimacing for a second, but Izaya can't see it.]

[has_signed_on]

Reall---[He pauses, trying to understand that last statement. It ends with him laughing.]

Alright, raisins, you or us?

[bitchingwhores]

[Oh, Izaya. Adachi can't hear the laughter, but he can sure as hell see it. Really, if he weren't so curious about you, he wouldn't even be bothering--] Yeah, really. You'd be surprised the things you can just pick up.

And I don't know. But I think it was you that tastes like strawberries. I have no idea why I'd taste like raisins though.

[And now for the awkward motion of the hour. He brings his hand near his face and sniffs it. What's the verdict?]

Well, it's not me.

[has_signed_on]

[And yet, Izaya will never know what u did thar. He will not be able to judge you. In fact, he has no idea that the awkward motion of the hour has just passed, so he just looks at Adachi (and actually, a little too far left at that).]

Well you could always find out.

no icon fits this at all

[bitchingwhores]

[Well, that's the last response he would've expected. Well played, Izaya. Adachi's gaze leaves the younger man's mouth for the first time. His expression is dangerously contemplative.]

Hey, Orihara-san. I'm going to try something. Don't freak out. It's an experiment, okay?

[And with that being said, his gaze shifts to Izaya's face once more as he drops a hand on Izaya's to bring it to his lips. There's a slight pause before he licks, but it's brief. ...Mm, strawberries. He was right.

But he's misinterpreting this. It's just easier to taste someone's emotions when you're closer to them in proximity. However, he doesn't realize this.

To back up, yes, Adachi just licked someone's hand. And it tasted like strawberries. Sheesh, events are certainly weird in Wonderland!]

Hey, I was right. It was you! I didn't wanna say anything, but it's even stronger now.

[has_signed_on]

[Adachi. Adachi why have you moved so much, now Izaya is having a problem finding you again. He reaches his free hand out, and without much incident, lands it on Adachi's face. Crisis averted!

The hand doesn't stay there of course.]

I think for once, I might not actually know what to say to that. Though you're pretty daring for that one.

[bitchingwhores]

[There's a hand on his face. Whuh. Okay, note to self, don't lick the back of delicious blind man's hand. It isn't too smart. Can Izaya's fingers feel his grimace?

Oh, thank goddess. Go away, hand. He thought you might poke out his eye by accident.]

I guess I should take that as a compliment?

[He laughs softly before continuing.]

Hey, be glad you taste like strawberries. I'm sure it means something, but I don't know you well enough to make any connections, y'know.

[He lets go of Izaya's hand and leans back on the bed. It's still easy to read Izaya's lips when he's on his back, so why not? Of course, he doesn't consider the repercussions of moving again.]

Or it could mean nothing. You never know with these events, huh? At least, that's my feeling about them!

[has_signed_on]

Or maybe you're just biased and like strawberries? I mean, does anything actually have to have a meaning? [You know what the problem with Adachi moving is? Izaya has no idea, so he just...stares off while continuing to talk.]

This guy I tasted earlier? Cream cheese sushi. What it actually has to do with him, I'll never know.

[bitchingwhores]

I'm not all that picky, to be honest! Although I really like cabbages. They were cheap back home and had just the right amount of vitamins! And, honestly, considering this place, I doubt anything is meant to make sense. But I can't help but wonder, y'know? [Okay, now if Adachi were of a sane mind at this point, the staring? It might creep him out a little. But he doesn't comment on it and continues staring.]

This is a really delicious event, huh?

Hey, Orihara-san, you have me wondering something. Like what I taste like to you. Are you curious at all?

[has_signed_on]

Well...[He seems to be musing over something, or at least pretending to.] I don't know if I'm really much of a cabbage kind of guy.

But are you wanting to find out? And so then do I already have your permission? [Izaya reaches out to put his hand on Adachi's shoulder aaaand gets a fistful of disappointment. He blindly tries a few more times.]

Hey, you moved.

[bitchingwhores]

It's not too bad when you can get it for 98 yen a head! [There's a reference to how hard he had it somewhere if you look enough.

Adachi's finding it difficult to keep from laughing. Some of the snickers come out as he watches Izaya blindly wave out for him. Well, he'll have to sit back up again, huh?]

Hey, I'm right here!

[He grabs Izaya's hand and directs it to his shoulder.]

Sorry, I felt like lying down. And, yeah, you have my permission.

[has_signed_on]

[If there's any references, Izaya's catches the wrong ones--he'll claim it's because he's blind--and while it's not his usual style...they're all adults here.

Purely for the dramatic effect, he stays silent for a moment, the only movement made being him chewing thoughtfully one his lower lip. He finally reaches up and gently pats at Adachi's cheek.]

Considering what we're talking about, should we really be discussing prices? And if so...why so low?

[bitchingwhores]

[What are they even talking about now, anyway? The price of a head of cabbage in Inaba? Really, are they even discussing Junes now?

Oh, Izaya, if you could see the face he's making right now, you'd probably be laughing.]

Whoa, aren't you misinterpreting me a bit, Orihara-san? All I'm asking is what I taste like to you.

[Wait, that didn't come out right. Let's try this again.]

I'm just curious, is all. What did you think we were talking about?

[Agh, pretending innocence here is making him appear so stupid. Maybe he can play this out...]
