[Video flickers onto Izaya at his desk. This should become a pretty usual scene by now, guys. He's spinning around in his chair, laughing his ass off. But for once, the laughter seems completely genuine rather than his trademark insane laughter.]

I love this city, I LOVE THIS CITY~! The people, the sights, the sounds! Nya~!

[He stops abruptly and

[What is even going on here.]

'Psychology study'?

It's a type of therapy.

[Duh.]

Some people ask for it. Rosemary Kennedy did! Or wait...No, I think her father made her get one...Either way. I'm doing it for the good of humanity! Not everyone can take their everyday life, you know.

That's not what my health class taught me. Heard it was less 'therapy' and more doing it so that the patient was just easier to 'take care of'.

Re: [video]

[thetrollprince]

Eh. All a matter of opinion, right?

[Have a shrug.]

Are you offering your services~?

...I'm pretty sure reducing a person to all the thought of a dumb rock isn't helping them at all.

But I know a guy who can show you a lobotomy up-close if you let him near you with a scalpel.

Re: [video]

It could be...It could simply be helping them out in the long run. If you're a victim of your own mind, wouldn't you want to be euthanized in a way as well? I know I would.

I don't want to get a lobotomy. But if he can teach me~. So far all I have is this video to learn off of! And good faith in myself...

[That actually makes him pause. Going Kishin was far from pleasant... Downright horrible, and he'd rather not talk of any after effects even now. Sure, he'd rather have been killed early on then hurt so many people, but that's because he knows it'd just be taking him out of commission for a good chunk of the week since that's just how this place works.

And really, it's the 'hurting other people' thing that makes him sick, not his own fears haunting him every other minute.]

...Most illnesses can be solved with medicine and therapy, y'know. This crap's outdated.

He wouldn't teach you jack.

[Someone notices your pause. Be careful now.]

Outdated, most definitely, but it's highly interesting to me. Besides, I asked politely didn't I? I can't help that I am intrigued by the idea of an 'off-switch' for the human body. It's kind of fascinating, nn?

That's fine. I don't need teachers. I never have.

[He's staring intently at the camera.]

...What's your name?

[video]

[prominence_glow]

You can ask as politely as you want, but I don't think you're gonna get any offers.

[...Why did he think answering this would be a good idea. His trouble senses are tingling at that stare.]

Lea.

[He'll keep the catchphrase out for now.]

Re: [video]

[thetrollprince]

Probably not! But it's worth a shot. Nothing wrong with optimism~!!

[Such a painfully cheery smile...]

Nice to meet you. I'm Orihara Izaya.

[In case you were wondering.]

[video]

[prominence_glow]

I'll keep it in mind.

[He'll add it to his list of 'people to just stop talking to forever'.]

Why don't you just read a book?

Re: [video]

[thetrollprince]

[Wise choice, my friend. Wise choice.]

I have. Several actually.

[He shifts the camera and just on his desk to the side- there is indeed a stack of what can be assumed are psych books. The camera focuses back on Izaya.]

Practice makes perfect, right?

[prominence_glow]

When are you ever going to need to be able to practice lobotomy?

[thetrollprince]

No clue!

[prominence_glow]

...I think you should practice a skill you're actually going to use.
