[Well. Let's invoke some timeywimey in here. Obviously, the forces of Darkness (tm) and Orochi are on the rise, shit is terrible and Hisoka and Keisuke may or may not be actual incarnations of their representative gods.

Of course, if one was nearing other large revelations and wanted to find Hisokas, it is a school day and so, once more, Hisoka is (mostly) politely turning down scores of far-too-insistent admirers, in a tone and inflection that might signify she is very much wishing her powers were not quite so restricted. Particularly the part where she can fly.

Or perhaps one could catch her get rapidly less polite with an oddly familiar dude with way too many bad pick-up lines and something about the Moon Kingdom.

What do?]

[Well because it took her so long to get back and because he's basically just a puppy in an incredibly hot teenage body, Retsu will be showing up to the school today after she didn't show up. Of course this doesn't help because now he too is a hideous distraction and now he's also very lost. They should tell him where to go. :(]

[Well. It doesn't take long for Hisoka to follow the fuss about some hot redhead, and she'll be here momentarily.]

Retsu! There you are.

[Pay no attention to all the hearts she just broke by calling his name familiarly.]

Hisoka!

[He has, at the request of the staff, gotten better at being humanish. And him being so comfortable with her probably doesn't help, either.]

I'm sorry, I couldn't get away sooner...did you come looking for me?

[It probably also doesn't help that she's having to shrug off someone demanding to know who he is, hey, Fujiwara!]

Yes. You weren't where we agreed to meet, so I came to see what happened. I should have realized I don't know the layout of your school.

['Where they agreed to meet?' 'Is that why she's not in any of the clubs?' 'That sonova--'

Right. Grab the Retsu by the wrist, start leading him toward the exit.]

I appreciate it, thank you. I can get you a map later, just in case...

[Well, he's not going to fight it much, but this does mean she's having to drag him and that probably looks like she's clinging to his arm to most outside sources.]

I'm sure I'll learn it eventually.

[There is angry yelling. She's moving faster.] Most likely...We can worry about it later, though.

[He is so very confused about everything going on right now but he'll walk her along as fast as she wants.]

You seem upset.

I'll explain when we're clear--

[Down the street, around the corner, and ducked into a side-street to avoid the most persistent followers.]

...For the love of god.

[YES pull him into an alley that certainly won't end in the awkward amnesiac standing too close or this looking wrong or anything.]

Are you okay...?

[Look, she's just resigned to the fact she has a hot puppy following her around at all time, her life is hard.]

...I'm fine. It's just a little draining to deal with so many people.

Really? You seem like you're happier when you're with people.

[Selectively incredibly perceptive hot puppy. Who stands too close still sometimes.]

I am, but all of them...want something.

[Why is this her life. Why is this happening. God help her.]

Are they a threat, then? Do I need to do something?

[Look how concerned he is, Hisoka! Look at him!]

Retsu, no.

[Poking his nose.] You don't get to murder them. They're just trying to get a date.

Oh.

[He pauses, then reaches up and scratches his head, glancing up.]

Isn't there a courting process or something...?

They aren't making it past the first step. I don't care for any of them, not like that.

[Sighing faintly.] 'Courting', Retsu, really?

[Shrugging.]

So I'm not entirely sure how dating works. It still seems wrong they can simply harass you.

Short of me being attached, there's no stopping most of them...and I'm not going to make Zeiss or Lark a dupe for that sort of thing.

[A beat.] Especially not Lark.

A dupe... as in, someone you claim to be interested in, but not?

[He blinks.]

It would only be an extension of my job then, wouldn't it?

[...Immediately turning very red.]

Uh.

[NOT IS PLAN.]

Is something the matter, Hisoka?

Retsu there was a. Reason I did not list you alongside Zeiss and Lark. Both of whom I am very much not interested in.

[Whyyyy.]

...Are you saying that you wish to date me, Hisoka?

[NOW WHO IS THE SENPAI AND WHO IS THE NOTICED!?]
