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

[neverplaysfair]

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~ ]

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

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

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Okay, giggles are under control again! ] She's here to win you back from me with some of her own honmei choco, I assume.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

She's giving that to you, not me.

[action]

[so_shik]

Actually I figured both of you could just share it or something.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

A bit disappointing, but I suppose that works for me. Neku?

[action]

[soundfrequency]

...whatever.

[He's honestly not sure how he feels about that. EVERYTHING IS SO WEIRD AND CONFUSING RIGHT NOW. Stupid feelings.]

[action]

[so_shik]

Well I mean...you could always fight over them. I only have one box. [She shouldn't even be offering them to Josh, but she can't help but feel like she should.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

No no, that's quite alright. We can share. [ And he heads over towards Shiki, fighting down more of the constricting feeling. Both of them...? ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

I'm surprised you even have any.

[action]

[so_shik]

...I've had them for about a week on hold.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Here you go. [ And he holds out his own chocolate towards Shiki as he takes hold of hers. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Right.

[While Joshua is over there exchanging with Shiki, Neku takes one of the chocolates that Joshua gave him and eats it.] ...did you give me these kind just to screw with me?

[action]

[so_shik]

No, he probably gave you those kind to screw with me. [But that's not stopping her from exchanging.] I'm serious, you're sharing these.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Hee hee, I thought so. [ Though it's not like he hasn't done chocolate exchanges on White Day, it still feels a bit odd in the back of his mind. Still, he takes the chocolate and holds it close to him, grinning, for just long enough to make Shiki wonder...

Then turns and leisurely makes his way back towards Neku. ]

No, not to screw with you. I'm serious about them. All of them.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

...

[He's still suspicious. But hey, they are pretty good. Eating another one.]

[action]

[so_shik]

[...She's definitely suspicious of that look, but oh well.] Neku, I'm taking one of those. [And she's wandering over to snatch a chocolate.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ y so suspicious you two

And Joshua watches her, taking one of the chocolates and sampling it. Hmm. Not bad. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

[Neku just. stares at them both. This is so weird. And kind of uncomfortable.

...and of course his first reaction is to be an asshole.]

Why are you still here?

[action]

[so_shik]

[She stops walking, just blinking at him.] ...me, or him?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua's expression goes flat for a moment, but rather than looking at either of the two, he appears to be inspecting a piece of chocolate. ]

Now Neku, be nice to our guest.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

[Normally he'd argue, but right now he doesn't feel like it.]

...whatever.

[action]

[so_shik]

...no. If you're so uncomfortable with it, I can go. Really. [Except she's kind of annoyed now so she probably...won't.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Don't. [ It's almost an order. He turns to Neku, his expression suddenly light again. ] Is something wrong?

[action]

[soundfrequency]

We just broke up a few days ago, I don't...

["really want to see her" is what he was going to say but instead trails off. Except he actually does want to see her, even if he's still upset angry about what happened.]

[action]

[so_shik]

I don't know what to do. [Well if he won't finish the sentence, she'll fill in with her own.] He's going to be stubborn no matter what, Josh. Leave it.
