C'mon, now. Don't you guys have a basic understanding of the word? For shame. I'm not going to get a dictionary just because you two can't remember what it means.
[ And to Joshua: ] I'd much rather give someone a little present and see what they do with it~
[ He puts his feet up off-screen. ] If I'm going to be trapped in yet another dimension away from mine, I may as well see the interesting parts of it. Y'know, make life interesting; stir things up.
[ He looks back to Riku from Joshua's SFC. ]
And it's all about showmanship, kid. The best way to entertain a crowd is to do it with finesse. And if you're gonna go out... then isn't it better to go out burning bright? You know... bang.
[ And he makes a mock-gun, holding it to his head. This phrase has two meanings, one of which is obviously meant to taunt Joshua. ]
[Riku's eyes narrow dangerously, though there's an evident sneer crossing his lips. Dangerous waters, Enjin. Very dangerous. Especially since he and his dark friend have been growing quite restless with all the death in the streets.]
A prelude to destruction. Really; is that all you could come up with? Catering to the hero-types oh so much?
[He hears that, and doesn't think it wise for Riku to get anymore pissed off than he is already.]
The prologue's passed, and now we're on to Act 1. Who knew it'd be so tiresome to be an actor?
[If he could, he'd shrug.]
Didn't you say something about them running around like chickens with their heads cut-off, Enjin? I seem to recall you enjoy seeing such a silly sight.
It's rather amusing that they're as incompetent as they are, yes. But things are just getting started, don't you think? I haven't done anything yet.
[ He makes an absent shrug, playing with his razorblade, holding his hands up. The one with his razorblade in it is being held between his fingers, and he waves that hand absently. ]
And here I thought you were the spoiled star, J! I would think you'd enjoy being the center of attention.
Such a shame that Phones isn't here to see the entire show, huh?
[ He smiles, closing his eyes. Pretty much this icon. ]
Your friend there seems to be a bit hostile. Really, now... I guess he wants me to do something else. I suppose he really doesn't care about his friends much if he's asking me to up the anti, huh?
[ Enjin makes a 'tsk' noise at Riku. ] You know, that's pretty sad. How cold and heartless can you be?
[Another calming breath, and the roll of the eyes partially hidden by his bangs. Quite hilarious, really. Though, if they pay attention the sound of metal clanging could be heard in the background.]
Ah, so I'm late to the play? Are you trying to set me up as one of the irksome hero-types who just charge in like a witless moron? Though, I do believe it's worked in the past...
[A chuckle, though he is watching that hand with the razor blade closely. Though, the mention of Neku. An unseen fist is clenched. Enjin wouldn't get the joy of shaking his calm facade any more.]
Me? Hostile? No, it's because I have a heart and am powerless to control it. [He smirks faintly, cheating just a bit. There's a whistle in the background.]
So cold. No, I'm afraid, as we've said... he's currently busy.
[ Enjin gives Riku an 'innocent' smile. ]
Not in the least. The stars of this play are only the ones that can actually act, kid. Which you can't, I'm afraid. In fact, his acting right now is pretty piss poor--I can tell he's furious and hiding it well. No one is normally THAT calm, are they?
[ Flick. Close. He's flicking the razorblade open and shut. ]
3/? We're just the smartass brigade that trolls forever.
Tea is too watery. And the flavor's far too subtle. You should try cocoa.
[ Right, then, to Joshua: ]
... Well, you're a better actor than him, anyway. Heh. I wouldn't be surprised if, say, he comes up with another line to try and bait me, thinking maybe he can, I don't know, make me release info, or something.
It's basic strategy to, after all, keep them talking. And I do rather enjoy my theatrics. But I do hope the kid knows I'm not an idiot, because if he doesn't... I'm a little disappointed. I expected this call to be someone INTERESTING.
Seems he doesn't wanna help you, J. Isn't that sad?
5/6 Have you noticed we've been going up by one in each chain, Char? :|
Heh. Why am I not surprised you're such a romantic sap?
[ And the camera is turned to see only Joshua now. From where Joshua is, Enjin's back can only be seen, but you can see his smirk in the reflection of his razorblade.
Ca-click. ]
Well, since you're so busy trying your hardest NOT to care about him, I'm afraid we have some pre-show rehearsals to do, Darkness boy.
Work on your acting lessons next time, and maybe you'll get a part in the actual production.
[ And with a smirk, he takes the SFC, showing one final 'innocent' smile that is horribly, horribly foreboding, and the feed cuts to static. ]
That would be correct. He never did pick the brightest of friends. [ There's a faint chuckle, but the acting is slowly waring thin. ] I'll swing by there later, then.
[ He only just vaguely listens to Enjin's words, not really trying to bait him; no, that would be an insult to their intelligence. He knows Enjin is rather cunning and thus, there's a bit of wariness to his gaze now. Slowly, ever so slowly that facade is cracking. ]
I don't pretend to act, and frankly I don't give a damn what you say about me. Go ahead and continue trying to play your petty mind games; hell's much worse than-
[ His teeth clench and his gaze drops. No, losing it would only tip off more than one person right now. That calm tone he had this entire call? It's been thrown out the window. ]
[ Neku would never forgive him... to let anything else happen to the Composer. This bastard... he was close to the same level of hatred he had for Muraki; no one could top Xehanort on his list. ]
Keywords are relevant~
[He keeps his voice nonchalant, but inside he is seething.]
So I noticed with all the dead. Almost right up some people's ally, isn't it.
[...Dammit, why'd he just remind himself about opening the door?]
Fffffff. And you know the drill. |D
Just for a certain angel.
2/3, actually. WE LIED, WHOOPS
[ He turns to his captive, smile ever so innocent, really. ]
I think we'll be seeing a lot more interesting stuff after this, don't you? It's exciting.
Filthy lying liars. 3/3
[A beat.]
Oh, Riku, apparently I'm the unwitting star of Enjin's latest performance.
*shakes fist at you both*
[Have an unimpressed walker of the twilight between, giving a blank stare at the screen.]
Yes, do define "interesting." I'd just love to hear your definition.
1/3, PROBABLY. LOVE YOU TOO, RIKU
[ And to Joshua: ] I'd much rather give someone a little present and see what they do with it~
2/3 YOU KNOW YOU LOVE THIS, DON'T DENY IT.
[Another hmph for Enjin.]
You're just full of surprises. Not to mention have a love and knack for leaving all involved in edge-of-your-seat suspense.
3/3 YES, DON'T. WE KNOW. WE CAN TELL. <3
[ He puts his feet up off-screen. ] If I'm going to be trapped in yet another dimension away from mine, I may as well see the interesting parts of it. Y'know, make life interesting; stir things up.

[ And he makes a mock-gun, holding it to his head. This phrase has two meanings, one of which is obviously meant to taunt Joshua. ]
1/2 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT YOU DENIED.
In other words, you find things intriguing when you cause trouble. How adorable.
2/2 SO STEP RIGHT UP AND SEE THE POSSIBILITIES~
A prelude to destruction. Really; is that all you could come up with? Catering to the hero-types oh so much?
1/? ohshit NOT AGAIN
[He hears that, and doesn't think it wise for Riku to get anymore pissed off than he is already.]
The prologue's passed, and now we're on to Act 1. Who knew it'd be so tiresome to be an actor?
[If he could, he'd shrug.]
Didn't you say something about them running around like chickens with their heads cut-off, Enjin? I seem to recall you enjoy seeing such a silly sight.
2/? LMAO YUP. So much banter here
[ He makes an absent shrug, playing with his razorblade, holding his hands up. The one with his razorblade in it is being held between his fingers, and he waves that hand absently. ]
And here I thought you were the spoiled star, J! I would think you'd enjoy being the center of attention.
Such a shame that Phones isn't here to see the entire show, huh?
3/? It's the chain that never ends.
[He sounds oh-so amused, but he really doesn't like being called J by Enjin. That's reserved for Sanae and Sanae only.]
Perhaps, perhaps not. Perhaps I'm just a fickle star who likes to go back and forth between being in the limelight and being backstage.
Oh, I don't know, I think we're doing just fine without him.
4/5
Your friend there seems to be a bit hostile. Really, now... I guess he wants me to do something else. I suppose he really doesn't care about his friends much if he's asking me to up the anti, huh?
[ Enjin makes a 'tsk' noise at Riku. ] You know, that's pretty sad. How cold and heartless can you be?
5/5
Ah, right. Riku, would you be a dear and make sure there's still some tea stocked up in the house? I have a feeling it'll be needed.
...Y such a smartass, man. |D
[Another calming breath, and the roll of the eyes partially hidden by his bangs. Quite hilarious, really. Though, if they pay attention the sound of metal clanging could be heard in the background.]
Ah, so I'm late to the play? Are you trying to set me up as one of the irksome hero-types who just charge in like a witless moron? Though, I do believe it's worked in the past...

Me? Hostile? No, it's because I have a heart and am powerless to control it. [He smirks faintly, cheating just a bit. There's a whistle in the background.]
Oh, want some then? I just made a fresh pot.
'Cause we all are. 1/? AGAIN \o/
[Joshua doesn't seem to care about the blade...yet.]
That would be lovely, but I don't think I'll need it half as much as Aziraphale or dear Kyouriki.
2/? Oh yes. The smartest assholes you ever met <3
So cold. No, I'm afraid, as we've said... he's currently busy.
[ Enjin gives Riku an 'innocent' smile. ]
Not in the least. The stars of this play are only the ones that can actually act, kid. Which you can't, I'm afraid. In fact, his acting right now is pretty piss poor--I can tell he's furious and hiding it well. No one is normally THAT calm, are they?
[ Flick. Close. He's flicking the razorblade open and shut. ]
3/? We're just the smartass brigade that trolls forever.
[He giggles.]
How nice to know that I have a fan. And why shouldn't I be calm? It does me no good to freak out, now, does it?
4/6 This icon will be used a lot here, I think.
[ Right, then, to Joshua: ]
... Well, you're a better actor than him, anyway. Heh. I wouldn't be surprised if, say, he comes up with another line to try and bait me, thinking maybe he can, I don't know, make me release info, or something.

Seems he doesn't wanna help you, J. Isn't that sad?
5/6 Have you noticed we've been going up by one in each chain, Char? :|
[A soft scoff.]
It takes years of practice, as any good actor will tell you.
You're anything but, I have to agree. There's nothing better than an intelligent man with no morals, wouldn't you say?
Hee hee, such a shame it couldn't be more fun for you.
[Some subtle sarcasm to stir it up a bit. He also refuses to grace that last question with an answer.]
6/6 ... Noooot until now, no. And no don't make a post just yet about this, pls.
[ And the camera is turned to see only Joshua now. From where Joshua is, Enjin's back can only be seen, but you can see his smirk in the reflection of his razorblade.
Ca-click. ]
Well, since you're so busy trying your hardest NOT to care about him, I'm afraid we have some pre-show rehearsals to do, Darkness boy.

[ And with a smirk, he takes the SFC, showing one final 'innocent' smile that is horribly, horribly foreboding, and the feed cuts to static. ]
1/3 I won't; don't you worry.

I don't pretend to act, and frankly I don't give a damn what you say about me. Go ahead and continue trying to play your petty mind games; hell's much worse than-
2/? Okay, I lied
3/?
[ Neku would never forgive him... to let anything else happen to the Composer. This bastard... he was close to the same level of hatred he had for Muraki; no one could top Xehanort on his list. ]
No morals... what an understatement.
4/?
5/6
6/6 Dude, you got Riku to ragequit. Congrats! B|
