@chrollolucilfer / cw death of loved ones

[bookofpowers]

I have recently discovered that a person I care about is deceased at home. I do not know the circumstances, as I had just spoken to them before I was taken to this place.

If you are aware of ways to find information about your home world, please do share.

(ooc note that i edited the post! i said two, but in fact, for his canon point, it is just one. an oopsie, happy new years guys...!!!)

[ It's slow, but he nods. ]

She knows what's going on. She's the same one who wanted information on everyone--she set up the tea that got people talking about themselves, or something like that. [ Which he didn't actually drink himself, so he only knows about it secondhand--still, the point of it is: ] I don't know what she can do, and I don't know how much she knows... but I think it would be easier if some of us got her to talk than to give her what she wants from the start.

[ A beat. ] Unless it's useful. She's new, but she's still getting her supplies, somehow.

[bookofpowers]

I fell for it myself. I thought I was being clever by not drinking the tea they brought and asking for a specific type, but I was narrow-minded. Now, there is no reason to hide.

(gorgug might have noticed that he no longer wears the bandana, the tattoo on the middle of his forehead visible and proud.)

I do not think it's a trouble for me to catch her. I can go unnoticed and I have a way to travel with her in my pocket. What is it that you mean 'get to talk'? A bribe?

(he's a kid, he's assuming a regular one.)

[tinflower]

[ Gorgug did notice, but Gorgug, thinking it was a cosmetic choice at the time, has not thought very deeply about it. Which is often his way in life.

Though he's having to be thoughtful right now, grimacing a little at being asked what he means, but--fuck it, he's already here. ]

Well...I was hoping for a way to read her mind, or to get her to tell the truth. I didn't know if you could do that [ since he's already got a cool move!! ] but, I know a few things...or might know someone who can help.

[ Unfortunately: ] I don't know how to bribe her. And I think with the info she wants, she needs to make a calculation--figure out the kind of people they're bringing in to know what they're doing here.

cw passing torture mention

[bookofpowers]

I cannot read her mind, and my methods of making her speak are gruesome, which I do not mind deploying.

(it's simply a fact, nothing big, nothing unexpected - for him, at least.)

If that is not a route we want to go through, I can help take her.

(that feeling of having someone nearby, a presence in the room, is simply gone. he retains his aura within his body. he can be seen, but he looks unreal, as if not even there to begin with.)

[tinflower]

Mmm... I think we should hold off on anything gruesome. [ He doesn't make any particular face about the fact. It is an option, but in this scenario, not necessary. ] I don't know that she'll like being grabbed, but I think she's-- if she knows stuff, and there's things she can do, it's better not to hurt her too much.

[ So, he nods. ] If you can take her safely enough, that'll work. I can introduce you to the other people I've talked to this about.

[bookofpowers]

It is a deal, kid.

(he's too desperate, so he's very much shooting in all directions in hope something hits. his hand extends, a handshake to seal the deal.)

[tinflower]

[ He looks from Chrollo, then the hand... and reaches out to take it with a gloved one--willing to shake Chrollo's it, but also being careful about not applying much pressure into any hold on his side. ]

The name's Gorgug.

[bookofpowers]

I know, you have said.

(look at that, not a handshake that he expected. he expected a weak one, unsure, but this is pretty good.)

Who else can you pull into these jobs?

[tinflower]

[ And he's going to keep saying it!!! ]

A couple of people--I'll ask us to meet. You can introduce yourselves.

[ So Gorgug doesn't have to!! ]

[bookofpowers]

Do you trust them enough for this?

(actually, sir, why do you trust chrollo for this--)

[tinflower]

[ Well.. ]

I trust them enough. They don't want to stop me, and they agreed to help. [ He pauses, then shrugs a shoulder. ]

It's hard to be picky around here.
