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~~~ ]

But I doubt you would, would you?

[ Cats make for really nice cuddling, you know. Except when Brainy decides she wants to sleep on Josh's face. ]

What's that supposed to mean?

[He's getting less angry now, mostly just sad they're even arguing again.]

It means that I know you're too used to sleeping with someone.

So was I.

[ ... Huh, that wasn't something he'd planned on letting them know. Well, it's true. ]

[Well, that proves as a distraction at least. There's only one thing that comes to mind when Joshua says that, and Neku really hopes that's not it.]

...you're not talking about Yoshiwara, are you?

...[Sorry, Neku, this just became more interesting.]

Please tell me you're kidding.

I can tell you whatever you'd like.

...but isn't it better now? Without spending the night with random people.

...wait, so before you were...you...you were a whore? [SHIKI IS SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.]

[ Pause. Pause. Laugh. ]

Not at all. If I were a whore, they would have paid me. [ Giggle giggle. ] I simply used to enjoying myself more than I've had the opportunity to in this place.

[Ohhh, that's right, Shiki doesn't know about any of that. Or probably even how old Joshua really is.]

You mean because Mr. H keeps rejecting you.

I don't think Mr. H would ever really give into that. Right? [So. Confused. She hates you both right now.]

Mmm.

[ He's quiet for a moment, staring off into space. ]

Well, you can't blame me for trying. [ his giggle is a lot less amused than the previous have been. But then the moment's passed. ] He's such a mean housemate.

Maybe you're just trying with the wrong person.

Yeah, housemates usually don't like it when you try to molest them. Usually.

It's a risk I can't afford to take. [ Suddenly he finds himself looking at the box of chocolates in his hands, and his stomach twists. For a moment, it feels as if he might throw up. ]

What do you mean?

[Not really noticing something is wrong. Shiki did you poison him.]

...[No. :| She'd never try to poison Joshua now. But she's blinking in surprise at that statement.] Yeah. What do you mean?

Hmm, it doesn't matter. [ Except it does. He can already feel himself falling for the two of them, in a way he hasn't felt in a really long time. It's so tempting to brush it off, to explain it away, blame one of anything he can for it and just indulge. It's more tempting than it should be. He can't spoil his Players, and he can't spoil these two.

But fuck it's tempting. ]

You can't just say something like that then not explain.

Unless you're just making it up to distract us from something else. But I get the feeling that's not it.

You're not arguing any more.

[Rrrgh you are such a pain.]

Forget it, he's not going to answer.

Is he seriously always like that?
