♠ 006 ♠ [Video]/action for Azalea Town

Mar 30, 2011 21:23

[The video switches on to Fran's usual bored face, this time to show him leaning back against a tree somewhere near the Pokémon Center in Azalea.]

You know Boss, you could have waited for me. But I guess I understand. You have a complex after all. Gotta keep up appearances and all that.

[He pauses, if one were to look very very closely they might ( Read more... )

...yeah, he's an impatient bastard. [And an idiot too, half the time. Like when he's been getting next to no sleep just to get through the forest faster.]

And for the record, if you're plotting something with Killua up there, I'd rather know.

Why would we be plotting anything?

[Innocence. He can't really pull it off. But hopefully this Squalo hasn't picked up on Fran's habits yet.]

I might not know you that long, but I know him well enough to think you would be.

Has anyone ever told you you're too paranoid?

No one who knows what my fucking job is.

Well now I'm saying it. You should probably get that checked out. There's a point where it's safe. But then there's the point where you think everyone is plotting behind your back. That's where it gets kind of dangerous.

And then there's the point where you work in the goddamn Varia, and chances that someone's plotting behind your or your boss's back are actually relatively high.

And don't think I'm so easy to distract, either. [You're actually reaffirming his suspicion now, Fran.]

Okay. You got me. I just want to catch Boss doing something embarrassing on camera. You've seen his Charmeleon, right? It's kind of cute. But not something he wants getting out.

[He ponders this, and nods. Here it doesn't matter. Here, Vongola and Varia might as well not exist, and they've got no obligation to maintain any appearance aside from what they choose to. Here in Johto, it's not going to make the whole damn family look bad, and it won't make any difference aside from earning Fran a nasty beating - but seeing as he's Varia, he ought to know Xanxus well enough to be able to tell, and he doesn't seem fazed. In conclusion?

His funeral.]

Feroce? [The glorious misnomer still makes him snicker.] Yeah I've seen him. And you're going to try to work with that?

Yeah. At first.

[Fran's sure that somewhere in the deep recesses of Squalo's mind, there has to be a bit of spite towards Xanxus. He's not sure if this one has had enough time to let it grow, but it has to be there. So many whiskey glasses to the head can do that sort of thing.]

And then there's my back up plan. But I won't tell you. Because you'll tell him and ruin my fun.

Are you sure I would? He's pissed at me as it is, maybe if he's more pissed at you I'll have a few cracked ribs less for it later.

[Well, that's not his point. That's not even his way of thinking, but it's plausible, even if the sentiment itself is below him in his mind. The point is he's curious, and he probably won't tell.]

[Fran considers his options for a moment before making up his mind. If anything, this just means he'll get caught for it. Which he's kind of expecting to anyways. But the end result will make it worth it.]

Have you heard what happens when a person eats a Persim berry?

[video; private] sharkfoodbound March 31 2011, 09:34:09 UTC
[Exactly. Squalo couldn't make it to Xanxus to properly prevent it, either way, and he's already seen that what he tells him has precious little effect.]

I've seen varied effects of berries, but I can't pin them down with names. What's it do?

Kind of like shrooms. The Persim causes hallucinations and nausea. See, that's already amusing. But then we have to take Boss' normal temper into account. That plus seeing things might not end well for anyone.

That's where the Chesto berry comes into play. It has sedative properties and makes someone highly relaxed, and if too much is used it can knock a person out. Combine the two in a good balance and we get entertainment to catch on camera.

[Oh. Oh. Squalo's grin widens.]

I saw someone tripped on Persim berries before, then. Fun, but fucking exasperating on the long run, the guy couldn't calm his ass down it was kinda pathetic. [That was Julie Katou, who had also been convinced he was talking to a shark at the time.]

You've really thought this through, huh.
