Game 029 [Action] - No Way This Will Go Poorly

[neverplaysfair]

[ See Josh. See Josh being a teenager. See Josh walking in and out of Kat's Kradle, multiple times, sometimes even with things like *gasp* groceries. It's tough to tell, but he's a bit bothered by something.

He's also casually strolling in and out of the building that he's been avoiding like the plague for months. Surely nothing strange at all is happening here. ]

Shibuya does not deserve to be sullied by your hands! [ Joshua raises his hand with the gun again, threatening, but holding off on another assault for the moment. ]

[soundfrequency]

Screw you. You were just going to Erase her anyway, at least with me maybe she has a chance.

[Neku carefully gets back to his feet, watching that gun in Joshua's hand.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ At Neku's statement, that gun? Firing again. ]

You have no idea what damage you will cause...

[soundfrequency]

[Neku is about to snap back with a nasty comment ("Like in the state you left Shibuya in?") but he stops himself. And again stops the bullet before it hits him, letting it just fall to the ground. Are you about out of bullets yet, dude?]

Why do you care? I did exactly what you wanted me to do, and you don't have to deal with Shibuya anymore. ...in my world anyway. What happened in yours? Something different happened in Mr. Hanekoma's.

[neverplaysfair]

[ He's close to it. Joshua never carries a reload. ]

You were supposed to vanish.

[ For just a moment, his voice has gone deadly calm, but the enraged edge slips back in with every word he speaks, until he's almost yelling again. ]

Shibuya had no hope of improvement and you failures were all supposed to vanish with her!

[ His finger visibly twitches on the trigger, but for some reason, he holds his fire again. ]

Your incompetence may very well destroy it all.

[soundfrequency]

You...

[So the Shibuya in that world was Erased, along with everyone with it. Shiki... Beat... Rhyme... Even him. For a moment Neku wants to lift up his gun and fire at Joshua for being such a dumbass, but he doesn't. He's too sad to even be angry at him right now.]

Maybe she does have hope for improvement. If you don't believe in my competence then believe in Shiki and Beat and everyone else who managed to change a little in that Game. But... you Erased your Shibuya.

[neverplaysfair]

I did. [ It's like a switch has been flipped back, and Joshua is calm once again. ] None of you changed. Shibuya's final performance, and she failed spectacularly.

And given that you shot, I can't imagine your world was any better.

[soundfrequency]

...it's not doing any worse. But it's not doing any better, either.

[So far, anyway. And Neku is a little relieved Joshua is calming down now because being shot at sucks. He's not letting his guard down though.]

It's weird, considering the outcome of Mr. Hanekoma's world.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua's face sours at the reminder. ]

Then she will fall, and take all of Tokyo with her.

[soundfrequency]

She won't.

[neverplaysfair]

You have no idea.

/latest reply ever

[soundfrequency]

You don't either.

/I see no late

[neverplaysfair]

I do. You're a new Composer with an unrefined Soul and you know nothing.

[soundfrequency]

Says you.

[neverplaysfair]

You haven't proved me wrong yet.
