week 3 ( tuesday )

[Yo, Izaya. On this fine, sushi-less day (so, probably not all that fine for Izaya), Setz decides it's time to have a talk with him, so here they are.

As Setz approaches him, he'll be nice enough to speak so that Izaya knows who it is. The monotone, to be honest, also probably helps give him away.]


Izaya Orihara.

[It sure does! But Izaya didn't buy a cell phone and a Seeing AI app not to use it. He holds his phone up, and it narrates for him:]

PAPA'S DISGRUNTLED TEENAGED CHILD FAILING TO EMOTE.

[Chuchu uses his own phone to check. It says the same thing.

Izaya smiles and waves in that direction.]

Hello, Sekreuz.

I can't tell if you're asking me to explain a cell phone or the concept of an application. Well, either way, it's something that views what's in front of me and then gives me a narration of it so I know what is there. In other words, it's eyes for the blind.
voyeur: (I'm slurring on purpose)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Is something about it confusing you, Seikruz?

[LIKE HE DOESN'T FUCKING KNOW]
voyeur: (as I leave you with restless liars)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[GOOD JOB, SETZ. You tried.]

Sure, what about him?
voyeur: (there was a monster in my bed)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[time to learn about their ust]

[Izaya smiles.]

I'd say... that he is a player in a game of chess, and I'm someone who's decided to be gladly used by him until the very end. Yeah, I think it's something like that. If it's at all possible, I'd like to stick around to witness him making his final moves.
voyeur: (I'm slurring on purpose)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He reminded me a lot of the people I used to work for, back at home. Like I said, I was an information broker, you know? So I like to think I have a good sense for who to pick out to be used by.

[he could just say 'to work for'

he will not]
voyeur: (ignore me if you see me)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all. Rather, it's my pleasure to be used by him for as long as possible. I find my position with relation to him really fulfilling, so I'm completely happy with it.

[im sorry im so sorry]
voyeur: (let's play a love game)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd betray him, of course. Jacopo already knows that.

[Obviously]

However, I have no doubts that I'll be completely content with him for the rest of this Game. That's simply the kind of human being that Jacopo is.
voyeur: (as I lead you in a fearful fire)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't you noticed? You're his partner, so I think it would be obvious to you above anyone else.

Jacopo is a fanatic.
voyeur: (you could tell me secrets)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
“Fanaticism” in Japanese is the character for “heat” followed by the character for “insanity.” Did you know that? People can be rendered insane by heat, or they can be insane about the heat itself. Or, heat can rage inside them, making them insane. That happens, too. A heated passion for humans can rage inside someone.

Jacopo has that heat. Loving fanatically, hating fanatically: he's someone who is driven insane by the extremes of passions. In other words, he's someone who's like a tempest. Haha, or maybe I should say like an Othello? Fuelling the flames of his own fire, he won't burn out.

That's why I don't doubt that I want to stick with him. He'll keep this storm going until the end.
voyeur: (you could tell me secrets)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[setz is lying to himself if he think it ever stopped]

They're the same thing. Not to say that I don't love humans who have no impact on the world and live their ordinary lives. Yeah, they, too, are beloved to me. However, what I like best, and what I will trust in to protect my existence in this game, is someone who can make an impact in this game.
voyeur: (there was a monster in my bed)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahah, probably not. He's someone with that kind of resolve, right? I love that about him, too.
voyeur: (and if you can't get what you want)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with it? It's the truth of how I feel, so isn't it how I should say it?
voyeur: (and if you can't get what you want)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if that's a totally fair criticism to level. After all, aren't you the one who came here to ask me about my relationship with Jacopo? Rather than inappropriate, I think instead it was a sign of courtesy that I've been so open and honest about exactly what you've asked.
voyeur: (I'm so happy that you're so happy)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Setz. You didn't have to. Please don't.]

Of course. Ah... We didn't have time to be close, but even so, I regret the loss of my first partner. [The smile turns bitter, not quite melancholy] I think Lion would have been someone who I could have really grown attached to.

At any rate, Jacopo is very dear to me, and I know you're very dear to him. That's why I'll do my best to support and protect you, too.
voyeur: (I'm slurring on purpose)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Well, dead silence sure is a problem for him, a blind man.

Let's see if his phone can help.]


PAPA'S DISGRUNTLED TEENAGED CHILD FAILING TO PROCESS BLUNT STATEMENT OF AFFECTION.

Oh, thanks, phone! Haha, yeah, it's really like that. I know this can't be a surprise to you, but I think that his affection for you should be obvious to anyone else, too.
voyeur: (I'm slurring on purpose)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't you heard about his fight with Assassin? On top of that, there's how protective he gets of you when we talk in private. I think he'd be willing to be Erased if it meant you made it to the end. He really likes you that much. To put it in terms that would be appropriate to him, I'd say that for him, you're "part of the family."

[Or rather, Family, because he is damn sure Jacopo is a mafioso. Izaya hasn't spent his adult life working with yakuza not to be able to spot them.]
voyeur: (and if you can't get what you want)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
He does that, too. But it's affectionate, you know? Like when you can tell that someone really cares about someone because they wouldn't complain that way if they didn't.
voyeur: (turning all against the one)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-27 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, all the time. That's why it's easy for me to pick out the differences in the ways he complains about people. Maybe it's a tone thing it's easier for me to pick up on, but regardless, there's an audible difference between the frustrations that come from love and those that come from hate.
voyeur: (there was a monster in my bed)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I think we're very close indeed. Oh, but I wouldn't say that's a requirement. Like I said, I'm an information broker, so assessing and understanding people quickly is part of my trade. Of course, it isn't a perfect effort, but Jacopo isn't exactly a difficult person to read.
voyeur: (let's play a love game)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[phone]

TEENAGE SON UNABLE TO PROCESS INFORMATION.

What, still? Hey, are you okay? Maybe I should leave you alone.
voyeur: (and if you can't get what you want)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's identified you as Jacopo's son, but I can't figure out how to fix that without my sight.
voyeur: (and if you can't get what you want)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's helpful for me to identify who you are.
voyeur: (there was a monster in my bed)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. However, you do have that kind of relationship with him, don't you? Probably, that's why the phone is confused.
voyeur: (I'm so happy that you're so happy)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
No? What would you say it isn't so?

[His tone is open, welcoming. Inviting. Like he's willing to be persuaded.

(it's a trap)]
voyeur: (turning all against the one)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, what else?
voyeur: (V is for Villains in three-piece suits)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm.]

I don't want to speak in a way that generalizes on all father-son relationships or anything, but it isn't like arguing is outside the scope of a normal family. Especially with teenagers, it's supposed to be pretty common.
voyeur: (turning all against the one)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this is Jacopo. So when it comes to showing affection, he's really bad about it. But if you want, we can turn this around.

Rather than him acting like you're incompetent, isn't he worrying about protecting you from your mistakes?

Rather than ignoring what you're saying, isn't he thinking, 'I know best'?

Rather than meddling in affairs that have nothing to do with him, isn't he concerned with those affairs because you have something to do with him?

I definitely wouldn't call him the ideal parent, but at the same time, I don't think he's phenomenally bad as one, either. After all, he seems to be trying his best to take care of and help you.
voyeur: (the city is at war)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Izaya smiles. It is that caring, gentle smile he has, one is no less loving for the sharpness in it.]

Yeah, maybe not. But you know, I think it's also like a father, not to realize when his son can take care of himself. You know? Because when it's like that... he still just doesn't want to see the one he cares about come to harm.
voyeur: (and if you can't get what you want)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'd make a very good parent.

[SHRUG]
voyeur: (as I lead you in a fearful fire)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-28 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Izaya actually laughs.]

To a degree, yeah. Like I said, he's not exactly good with feelings, so he doesn't express it in the same way. Rather, I think he appreciates the companionship and understanding that's between us, so he wouldn't want to lose that. In other words, we're friends.
voyeur: (and no one even knew)

[personal profile] voyeur 2018-03-30 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd say... there are similarities in how we've chosen to live our lives in response to the world around us. At least, that's the impression he's given me.
