Short Description:

► He was considered a musical prodigy as a teenager and is sometimes called a cello genius (but he can still lose a play-off, so no worries).
► Loud, arrogant, violent and really not what you'd expect of the resident "classical" musician. He loves telling everyone how much better his band is than theirs, being obnoxious, and getting as much attention as possible. He also knows no shame or decency and is genuinely full of shit and actually you should probably check out his

Yeah. Last night sucked. Do you remember any of that?
no subject
Uh. Vaguely. [ Yep probably a black-out. But wait, he's Varia Quality, surely his brain is stronger than that. ] We had a row and you flipped out, right?
no subject
[Deep breath. Deep goddamn breath. Finnick had warned him to learn who to trust and not trust so easily, but this is different. Squalo is special.]
I said things about things I've never even... I mean, we said things. Weird things. I'm not sure why, but I'm pretty sure I've known you for--
[It hurts it hurts his head hurts like a migraine but fuck it.]
--half of my life.
no subject
[ There will be a pause while Squalo stares at him thoughtfully through his shades, no doubt turning over what he just said several times in his head. Of fucking course. ]
That's possible.
[ ... ]
[ Okay don't worry he'll add onto that. He tries for a discreet volume, but it's probably about as successful as usual. Hopefully nobody here speaks Italian. ]
There's been a few pairs of people who saw the same things in their heads. Each other, even. And there's been... evidence that it's not just mass hallucinations.
no subject
Deep breath.]
They're doing something to us. [He's going to die. Squalo is one of them and Dino is going to die.] We're supposed to be something to each other. Not... not friends, but not enemies. I saved your life, you saved mine, something like that.
no subject
Who's "they"? [ He's sorta missing the obvious here but hey maybe the brainwashing included dulling his ~sharpness~ a bit. Nobody would want him to figure it out too quickly after all. That or he was just preoccupied with booze and poon which is also a legit possibility. ] Something to each other. A pain in the ass, sounds like. [ isn't he hilarious. ] I noticed it, too. And others have. I'm not sure if it's future or past or some kind of alternate reality, but...
no subject
I hope I can trust you. I want to trust you. I feel like I should at least a little. Even if I can't, I'm going to tell you the truth: we're being lied to. Something like that. I've had dreams that don't make sense and they're vivid enough to be memories. [Dino's priorities are better than yours, sorry Squalo.]
I don't know what it is, but we should be working together, not trying to kill each other in a bar fight. I want to know what's going on.
no subject
You can trust me more than pretty much everyone else you know. But I'd advise against trusting me ~completely~.
[ Nothing personal, just how business is run around these places. "The truth" is something he's heard before; it's the other part that catches his attention. ]
Memories, huh? Yeah, I'm pretty sure some of those things have happened before. The question is, then... when? And why is it so different from what we know?
no subject
[It's somewhat of a joke, and Dino smiles faintly. This stuff is majorly fucked up and he can't make sense of it... Part of him says to continue to deflect a bit.]
I'm not sure. What if we're clones or something?
no subject
[ Look he's not even going to argue. He gives Dino a look of mild horror. ]
SHIT would that suck or what. I guess it's a possibility, though.
no subject
[He can't be afraid. He has to pursue this lead. Too many things are weird and nobody talks about them.]
People have died.
no subject
Hn, yeah. Our CEO killed someone at the Solstice party. I didn't see it with my own eyes [ because he was bleeding out on the floor stabbed by a former Hunger Games champion ] but my bandmates told me about it.
no subject
Why the fuck doesn't anyone talk about that????
no subject
Scared. Bribed. Doesn't care. Are you seriously asking me? There's a billion of reasons for it.
no subject
That's insane. Somebody needs to arrest them!
no subject
And who do you think would do that? Police? They're probably crapping their pants just at the sound of their names.
no subject
oh yeah this is still in march
I don't know. What's there to be done? I figure it's pretty cool so long as they're on our side.
sorry we can drop it if you want?
[FUCKED. UP.]
You're so weird. I know this whole business is corrupt, but come on...
nah i just gotta keep in mind Squalo hasn't met Lesedi yet aksdjasd
[ The most casual shrug. ]
Oh come on, don't tell me you've never wanted someone dead.
k
...Seriously. People can't just kill people for no reason.
no subject
Why?
no subject
Dino shakes his head.]
I'm going to pretend like this conversation didn't happen, and that we're cool.
no subject
Alright then. See ya around.
