Game 042 [Written/Action] - Play Like There's No Tomorrow

[neverplaysfair]

[ The following goes up on the journals later on in the morning. ]

A rather large collection of sheet music appeared in the shops some time rather recently. If you were looking for any that you'd hoped would follow you to Luceti, I might have picked it up.

[ Soon after that, the sound of a violin can be heard coming from in front of House 38. If you're quiet, it can even be heard all the way from the town center. What's he playing, you ask? Well, anything.

Maybe your favorite song. Maybe something hauntingly familiar. Maybe a rousing song. Maybe it's even battle music!

Seriously, he'll be playing anything if there's someone with that canon here. Who needs a fourth wall.

Joshua is sitting out in front of House 38 on one of the chairs from inside, sheet music on his lap has he sight reads it. Care to stop by and listen? ]

I showed you, of course.

Oh, is that what you call working?

[neverplaysfair]

The sort of work I have to do isn't what you'd expect.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

The thought of you doing any work at all is more than I expect.

[neverplaysfair]

Well, I don't like sweating. Maybe I took the easy job, hmm?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

That I would believe.

[neverplaysfair]

Jobs are never as easy as they look.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

You're trying to tell me there's a downside to pushing everyone around?

[neverplaysfair]

Being held accountable for where they end up.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Nobody can complain once you've erased their spirits.

[neverplaysfair]

They can. And they do. If someone with enough potential slips through the cracks, it's years before I heard the end of it.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Then it sounds like there's a flaw in your system.

[neverplaysfair]

If you think a perfect system can exist in a flawed world, you're delusional.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

And you're still a murderer.

[neverplaysfair]

Not arbitrarily so.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

You make the decisions that result in people dying. That's what arbitrary means.

[neverplaysfair]

Not everyone can continue existing. It's the way my world works. It's not simply what I've decided.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

It's not right.

[neverplaysfair]

It's still the way things are.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Stop saying that.

[neverplaysfair]

Why? It offends your delicate sensibilities that the world can't cater to your sense of morals?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Yes.]

Other worlds manage it fine.

[neverplaysfair]

Have you found a single world without death? It exists even here.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of worlds that don't obliterate the souls of their dead.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you know that for sure?
