[Here's Hilbert with a blank stare at the camera. My, that is normal... You might just check if the camera is even on, since he doesn't move for a while.
He finally opens his mouth and says:]
This place can be so depressing.
[For pete's sake, Krakens doing crap and people disappearing isn't a good mix when he wakes up from a coma--Yeesh.]
Cheren, if you can hear me, thank you for putting up with me.
[Hopefully most of you stopped watching before he could add that in. Video ends.]

Re: Video.
Date: 2011-10-17 07:53 am (UTC)Hmmm! How about on the rooftop of the Larmline Apartments, huh? I'd offer my place but it's so nice out!
[Because the weather changes here..]
Video --> Action.
Date: 2011-10-17 08:24 am (UTC)[And with that, Hilbert makes his way to the location. He thinks over the plan plenty of times during the walk, of course. There's always that stirring feeling when it deals with Izaya.
Then again, this could be completely harmless. And AGAIN--He doesn't understand him at all.
Oh look, Hilbert just arrived. He sure knows how to pass the time with frustrated thoughts.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 08:58 am (UTC)He does what he does and sits around in the shadows and finally reveals himself when enough time has passed. He doesn't make himself obvious except for coming up behind Hilbert to gently rest his hands on his shoulders.]
How romantic.
[There's a leering grin to his voice as he slides around Hilbert and instead walks past him to go towards the edge of the roof.]
See, I liked my old city a lot better. When you were this high up- there was always this threat of the wind knocking you down. But here..Not so much.
[And leaps up onto the edge, balancing himself with his arms.]
So let's play this game. You ask direct questions- carefully worded and I will give direct answers. No detailed answers. If you want a detailed answer- you figure out how to get one from me.
[Twirls around and faces Hilbert again, hands on his hips.]
Fifteen minutes.
[He takes out his SFC and flicks around on it before turning it over to show Hilbert a clock. Fifteen minutes. He hits start.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 09:19 am (UTC)Hilbert doesn't manage to take a moment to comment, something within "what the--" Typical Hilbert. Instead, he simply listens to Izaya and observes. So sure of his words and even of his footing, one wrong stop he...
He hunches up his shoulders. F-fifteen minutes?! He wasn't even prepared with questions. Let's see:]
Why are you so interested in everyone's personal business? You've been caught with those files of residents and even had a few stories told about your interactions with others... It seems obsessive.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 09:22 am (UTC)I'm an informant. That's simply my job. [You bet there will be a coy smirk with everything he says. You're welcome.]
No different than a lawyer interested in legal books or a doctor in different illnesses.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 09:34 am (UTC)[Don't mind him, just muttering to himself.]
... Do you love anyone? Or ever had? [Those awkward moments Hilbert doesn't really consider Izaya as a human. Really.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 10:00 am (UTC)But decides not to respond.]
Love? [His mouth twists into a smile.] Of course I love. What do you take me for? Some kind of monster?
[Throws his head back and laughs a bit wildly.]
I love HUMANS. All humans. I love them all. I love every single one of them. Even you.
[What was that Izaya had said about being specific again...?]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 07:59 pm (UTC)Right.]
What do you consider yourself? Just another human or something superior than that?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-17 10:12 pm (UTC)Of course I consider myself a human. Although....
[He slides his hands off of his shoulders, smirking wickedly.]
Sometimes...I don't entirely mind playing around the idea of myself being a god of sorts. But that's always for metaphorical sake...
[Kind of. He walks around in front of Hilbert and looks at him.]
And sometimes I consider myself to be a king.
[He puts a hand on Hilbert's head.]
Because who wants to be anything less?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 04:48 am (UTC)Especially with what he's talking about.
Then the hand on his head, it's like he's being looked down on. Hilbert lowers his head away.]
Well, some people just wanted to be accepted and that's all they need.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 05:54 am (UTC)[Heh.]
Yes, I suppose that's true. But if someone were to be asked, I'd think that they'd care about their own success and survival enough to put themselves above others. And I wouldn't necessarily call that selfishness either before you make any assumptions.
Say, Hilbert, are you learning anything about me?
omg that icon fix pffft aowfkawo
Date: 2011-10-18 06:11 am (UTC)You just might be really, really strange. That's all. [He tilts his head, as if observing his face will make this anymore clear.] Unless you were to prove you were any worse, you're just any other guy.
.....dunno what' you're talking about :|
Date: 2011-10-18 06:49 pm (UTC)[Pout.]
How boring...
[Not that he really cares. That's a good thing, isn't it? He turns away from Hilbert and raises his phone.]
You have five minutes.
 ̄ ∀ ̄)づ There, there. It's alright.
Date: 2011-10-18 09:23 pm (UTC)[Hilbert looks up in thought. He's running out of questions. Plus, it's not like Izaya is a total mystery to him anymore.
Ah!]
Do you ever regret anything you have done?
Re:  ̄ ∀ ̄)づ There, there. It's alright.
Date: 2011-10-18 09:29 pm (UTC)Of course, Izaya isn't about to try and make himself seem bad. Plus, he really gave nothing away. It's not like Hilbert knew that though.
Who said he'd would be honest?]
Nope! Regrets are pointless. Besides..I've never done anything warranting any regret.
[False. But he had a different moral system than other people.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 09:46 pm (UTC)That sounds like a lie.
[A complete look of disgust. Nope, that suspicious feeling from they day the met will never leave. EVER EVER EVER EVER]
But it seems you would justify anything you ever said or done.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 09:54 pm (UTC)[He smirks at that look. And even pinches his cheek. Cute!]
It's not about justification, it's about self-morals. My morals aren't the same as your morals. That in and of itself means everything, doesn't it?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 09:59 pm (UTC)[aowfkow pushes his hand away!]
Thinking that way will just make you end up alone!
no subject
Date: 2011-10-19 12:15 am (UTC)Do you really think so?
[Frown.]
1/2.
Date: 2011-10-19 05:59 am (UTC)2/2.
Date: 2011-10-19 06:01 am (UTC)Yikes.
He doesn't letting getting all riled up.
It doesn't seem like these two are going to get anywhere.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-19 06:11 am (UTC)[Steps around Hilbert.]
Come over for tea sometime, hm?
[Walking away now.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-19 06:17 am (UTC)... While making a mental note to never visit for tea.
So much for that.]
