[ GOD he should be used to this, but it still gives him a heart attack every time somebody just appears next to him without warning. He's quick to keep it under wraps, though, turning on his heels to face the man. ]
Hey, good timing! See if you can help me get through here.
Isn't it? Like, water's pretty animate, but would you say it's alive? And, like, coral and stuff sit there like a buncha rocks, but they're technically alive! And then there's me!
Throw a party, snoop underneath the mattress, depends on what's inside. Who's inside? or what.
[ He steps back from the door, though, only to turn around and sit down on the ground in front of it, leaning back against the door and looking up at the man. ]
What do you know about the captain?
[ He's got to open this door one way or another, whether returning from who knows where, or exiting the room for whatever reason. This is officially a stakeout. ]
There's a whole bunch to know about any person, even if they don't think so.
[ Even the boring ones, which actually can be the most fun because he can draw the most ridiculous reactions out of them. ]
Like... does the captain know how to ride a skateboard? Has he ever seen a giraffe in person before? Is he a toilet paper under or over kinda guy? What's his Kryptonite? How does he take his coffee? The real important questions, y'know?
Luck doesn't really exist. It's all just random chance. [but y'know besides that. also it's not chance anymore when you can control reality BUT ANYWAY.] Those are fun, but more complicated games are better. Ones with impossible choices, where nobody really wins.
I dunno, being here is just my luck, isn't it? [ bad luck, story of his life, because there is NO way he just happens to be thrown into tragedy after tragedy just by random chance. ]
Lots of people play games to win, but I get it, it gets boring when things are too easy. Do you know his favorite game?
Oh, huh. Kano looks at the man for a second, and then mentally goes "huh." ]
Well, you seem to know him a lot better than you first let on. Maybe if you see the Captain, you can pass along a message for me? Tell him, "Shuuya Kano says hi, and would like to play a game with you." I'll let him know the details later.

[ WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ]
How "alive" do you mean?
no subject
Animate? I guess? Just any kind of alive. And you stop being that if you enter. [beat] That is such a strange question.
no subject
[ ...
no he does not elaborate ]
Makes you think, huh?
no subject
You are alive, of course. Here, at least. For whatever definition of the term you'd prefer.
no subject
Well, I sure hope so! Being dead sure gets boring. What about you, sir? Are you alive?

What were you planning on doing if the door opened?

[sits down next to him this looks like fun he wants in.]

Those are very good questions. [pause] Games. It's games.

[ Now that's interesting. ]
Does he have real bad luck, or does he just find them irresistible? 'cause, like, I'm the undisputed champion of coin tosses and staring contests.

Anything, as long as it's never the same one twice. Life is dull enough already without making it worse, right?

[ He leans back, lightly bumping the back of his head against the door. ]
Too bad I can't get inside and meet the Cap, I've got so many fun games I could introduce him too! You see, I like playing games too.

[ And he says there's no such thing as luck. Ha! ]
Do you know how his research is going? I dunno if I should camp out here or if it's like a tooth fairy deal where you gotta pretend to be asleep.
no subject
[a shrug] If you're sufficiently interesting, you won't need to knock. You'll just need to be.

Of course. I'll be sure to pass along the message.

[ things to ask ten minutes ago, but he's hoping for some sort of confirmation here ]
