the three determinate states
(Chrollo hasn’t got time for this, Hisoka has entirely too much of it on his hands, and the rest of the Gen’ei Ryodan put up with their newest house-guest the best way they know how: surprisingly well.)
(The Ryodan adopts a cat. Or rather, perhaps it’s the other way around.)
this is for @mephalasturm for the @hunterxholiday16 exchange! i’m not your original gifter but a pinch-hitter, unfortunately, but i saw “fond of the phantom troupe” and “flippant cat” in your wishlist and had way too much fun with it. i also googled pg-13 ratings and at least in the US, most pg-13 ratings get away with a pretty decent amount of swearing, but let me know and i can edit it down. i saw also that you like hisoka as a character, but i like to write hisoka from the side because i can’t profess to know enough about the inner workings of his twisted little psyche to write from his perspective, haha
title from a terry pratchett quote from discworld #14, “in fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.” alternate title was “murder fam gets a cat” but i didn’t think it sounded as nice
