Game 039 [Voice/Action] - Love is the Great Destroyer

You know, I never did like the enforced dynamic of Valentine's Day and White Day. To save you all the trouble of worrying what would be proper, I've decided I will be the one to deliver chocolate on Valentine's Day to my male friends. I expect reciprocation on White Day from all of you, hee hee.

This means you, too, Neku.

[ With another giggle, the feed cuts.

Afterward, Joshua can be found out and about delivering chocolate. This is made a bit more difficult by the fact that he doesn't actually know where all of you live, but he's got chocolate for Hanekoma (dropped off before he left the house, of course), Neku, Hisoka, and Haruhi (yes, he is delivering that one mostly to be jerk). He also has a few more in case he bumps into anyone he's not particularly close to but he'd be amused to give anyway. ~~Yes Hisoka he is trying to find your house, and if you don't show yourself soon enough he will start pinging you. Hard. With mind-beams. Ooooo mind-beams~~~ ]

Seriously, Joshua. Where do you get off trying to give him chocolate? ...you're not even a girl!

[ Also, Neku? it totally is ]

I never said they were entertainment. I just felt that we're close enough that there should be some exchanging of chocolate, yet we're both male. So whose obligation does it become?

I still can't tell if you're just trying to be an asshole or not.

[...she's just going to think this over for a second.]

Maybe he's got a point. You guys are pretty close. And it's not like I can give you chocolate this year anyway. [Never mind the fact she's got a box just for him...you know, in case they ran into each other.]

Then again, Joshua's usually an asshole, so it's hard to say.

You two, I'm hurt. Can't I ever be benevolent without being accused of ulterior motives?

Do you really want me to answer that.

If he doesn't, I will. No, you can't. It's always ulterior motives with you.

Alright, fair enough. I was going to deliver chocolate to Neku personally to make sure that he remembers to return the favor on White Day. I do love homemade chocolates. [ Hmm, speaking of. ] If you're feeling left out, Shiki, I could give some to you as well. But here I thought that if you wanted some of mine, you'd hand over some of your own first and wait patiently.

[Well where are they, man? Neku is waiting now, even if he won't admit it. But he's just going to keep quiet for a moment while they talk, mostly because he wants to hear what Shiki says.]

...well, I mean...I have some honmei choco, but they were only intended for one person. Maybe. I guess sharing it wouldn't be too damaging, right? [Other than a.) this would destroy the whole point and b.) this is Joshua. Shiki doesn't see this issue at the moment.]

Perfect. Would you rather I wait for White Day? Also, I'm going to give Neku his chocolates now if you don't mind.

[ And there's the sound of shuffling in the background as Joshua gets off his bed and starts heading for the stairs. ]

[Neku is currently sulking. Yes. He's not really happy about the fact Shiki is going to give Josh something and not him. The journal might be able to pick up a little huff from him, but otherwise he's keeping quiet over here.]

[Sulk all you want, Neku. Shiki's kind of oblivious to it for now.] I don't think so. Do you know where he's hiding at all?

Hee hee. Maybe. I'll save you some, then.

[ And after dropping off Hanekoma's chocolates, he makes his way down the stairs, and lo and behold it's the bright orange porcupine himself. ]

Ah, now which one was yours...

[Oh sup Josh. Neku raises an eyebrow at him.]

...how many people are you giving to this year?

[...she's not going to say anything. She's keeping the journal open though and she's going to quietly make her way out of House 10 to track you two down. BRB pretending to be a ninja.]

Hmm. I suppose it's five now, at least for Valentine's Day. [ He giggles, and hands over--you guessed it--honmei choco. Better be ready to match it, Neku. ]

But don't worry, they're five carefully selected people.

[Come on, Shiki, it shouldn't be that hard to find him. Where else do you expect him to run to first?

Neku takes the chocolate and stares at it. Huh. But after a moment he looks back at Josh again, trying to look a little annoyed.]

I'm not worried.

[Oh, she's got a pretty good idea...which is why she's slamming the journal shut and bolting for Kat's Kradle. She'll be there ~~in her next tag~~ fairly soon because no. Hell no. Joshua did not just do that.]

[ Joshua hears the sound of her journal shutting so violently, and giggles. ] Mmm, did that annoy her, do you think?

[ With another set of giggles, he gives Neku a good look over, and suddenly it dawns on him what the growing, twisting feeling in his chest means. Suddenly he goes cold, but it barely shows on his face. ] Of course you're not, dear. [ The nickname slips out before he can stop it. ]

[Okay Mr. Giggles. Neku doesn't even notice the nickname.]

Did what annoy her?

[BURSTING INTO THE CAFE NOW.]

Joshua, don't you dare touch him!

[ At the outburst, Joshua breaks into a fit of giggles strong enough to keep him for speaking for the moment. ]

[...I think you broke him or something, Shiki.]

Er, what are you doing here?

...that's not a real question, is it?

And you shut up! [Your giggling is not appreciated, Josh. Just so you know.]
