If I win too many too quickly they stop giving tickets. [ Said as a demon who's definitely been at this for a good few hours, getting at many free food tickets as is possible before stall owners have enough of his shit and shuffle him along. It stops nothing other than Hiei moving on to the next stall, though, as he is a vile glutton for grilled squid or, honestly, any matsuri foods.
Anyway, being on his grift has only paid off a little.
His arms stay folded, clearly debating what he wants to show, if anything. ]
If there is no kakigori or dango I don't see much point.
[ Sweet tooth coming through. ]
no subject
[Anyone can go around saying they've just won sooo much, after all. He thinks, anyway - who would bother to stop them? But even besides that: no heckling without putting your money where your mouth is.
He has a few rings left in the round he's got, and he tosses one up in the air to do a really cool thing where he catches it over his wrist and looks so talented, which of course means he butterfingers it completely and has to stoop to snatch it before it hits the ground for real.
Athleticism. Help him.]
—If you play I'll get you a dango.
no subject
Hn. [ Well, he supposes he can't fault Junpei for that. Hiei would say the same if met with that kind of criticism, though perhaps with less joking behind it. This is Hiei, after all.
Red eyes watch the fumble with a raised brow of mild amusement, mostly because he somewhat reminds him of Kuwabara in the moment. Attempting to show off and fumbling it heavily is the teen's specialty, after all. It takes Hiei only a moment to decide, but he pretends to think a little longer anyway before nodding.
... What? A man can't play ring toss for a sweet treat? ]
Fine. [ Hiei extends a hand for the remaining rings Junpei has, assuming that's what he means, quietly confident in his ability. ] Give them to me and you owe me a dango.
no subject
That's what I thought. Here!
[One ring at a time, buddy— He tosses the first one over and then steps back with an exaggerated flourish, to make room.]
no subject
[ Hiei watches the dramatics with one of those dry expressions that says he deals with this on a semi-regular basis. Perhaps not with the same flare, but Yusuke and Kuwabara do happen to be a bit... theatric from time to time, and oftentimes not even to their own advantage.
Junpei may not know it but he's entrusted a perfectionist with this game of ring toss.
The demon looks at the ring for a moment before, seeing if it's at all deformed or may need to be compensated for before red eyes peruse the bottles he has close by at his disposal. There isn't really a ton of choice, they're all tiled this way or that, that kind of thing, but Hiei makes his choice and lobs a ring with a very careful amount of force -
The ring flies, wobbles for a moment... and then settles on the neck of a bottle.
Hiei turns to Junpei with a hand extended, brow raised as if asking if he'd really doubted him in the first place. ]
no subject
Okay... lucky throw. Second dango says you can't make them all in a row.
[As he hands over another ring, he hastily adds another stipulation,]
On that same bottle. I'll go up to three dango.
no subject
[ For a moment Hiei's brow rises, almost to the same level as his the ward over the jagan eye at the offer of up to three dango. Of course his stomach is saying that he wants probably more than three dango, but.. he can always earn tickets elsewhere if he really wants to.
Still, he's in a mood so he might as well see what he can get. ]
Only three? That seems cheap.
no subject
[Is he made of tickets! Or actual money in this case, considering he's already kind of resigned himself to losing badly... Either way: come on, man.
He looks at the ring already on the one bottle again, thinking about it. Nnnnh... uggghh...]
How many do you want? Be reasonable.
no subject
He's also savage enough to pocket a dango if he needs to. ]
Do I look like a light eater to you or something?
no subject
[Objectively speaking... He's not made of dango cash, there are limits!!]
How about you throw some more rings and we'll see how many you earn?
no subject
And? When you’re so unskilled you recruit others you pay a premium. [ spoken like a guy who is pretty much currently a hired gun in a way. It pays to be the former king’s right hand even when you couldn’t give a shit less about things like money. ]
I can also leave you to fail miserably and rotate for my own purposes.
no subject
[Junpei is still losing regardless, but like, let him nitpick this.]
Just throw the rings.
no subject
If I am throwing your rings am I not doing it for you? [ Hiei's head tips, and this time he on purpose throws the ring far too hard, with a little flick of his wrist. It bounces off a bottle and back out into the people also around the stand. ]
I can also be a pain in the ass and neither of us wins anything.
no subject
[Oops, his bad? Don't think too hard about how he was using bribery to get someone to play with him and not to actually win.
But oh. This display...]
Uh... Why would you do that?
no subject
For the satisfaction of screwing you over while I can still play elsewhere and win my own tickets. [ He's a demon, he gets a little thrill out of things like this now that he knows he'll definitely go to jail for who knows how long for killing, particularly for killing a human.
Hiei's days of just doing it for fun are long gone, though. Happily for Junpei. ]
It's a small thing, but it'll be enough.
no subject
[Because he's not going to win regardless, and he's made his peace with that.]
What are you, anti-games? Come on.
