Game 043 [Voice/Written] - Nothing Wrong Here

[neverplaysfair]

[ The entry opens with audio. ]

Wha--

[ But the voice is cut off almost immediately by the sound of sudden coughing. Red splotches appear on the page, and after only a few seconds, the feed audibly cuts off as the journal is quickly shut. A few minutes later, a written entry starts up in its place with the splotches still visible. ]

What day is it?

And who decided to poke around my home while I was gone?

Comments

[neverplaysfair]

Longer than I'd like. Apparently someone got curious and decided to snoop around while I was out.

[so_shik]

How's that a bad thing?

[neverplaysfair]

[ NO ONE MUST DISTURB THE SMELL OF THE CLOSET. ]

Oh, I don't know. Personal space, maybe? Respect for other people's property? I'd rather no one find the hidden dead bodies?

[so_shik]

You're not stupid enough to leave the bodies. I know that much.

[neverplaysfair]

Then the first two.

[so_shik]

Is personal space really that big of a deal when you're not even there?

[neverplaysfair]

Would you like someone to come over and sleep in your bed while you're away?

[so_shik]

It's not like that hasn't happened before.

[neverplaysfair]

Yes, but I tend to dislike it when these sorts of things happen without my consent.

[ Inward sigh he doesn't want to be dealing with this when he feels like crap. ]

Was it you, then?

[so_shik]

I figured maybe there was some way of figuring out how they can keep getting away with it if I found some evidence.

[neverplaysfair]

And the evidence hunt clearly couldn't wait until I was back.

[so_shik]

Knowing them, they would have cleaned it up before you returned to make it look like you never left.

[neverplaysfair]

So you decided to instead?

[so_shik]

Is that really such a big deal?

[neverplaysfair]

[ Alright Shiki let's put this simply. ] Yes.

[so_shik]

Come on! It's not like I wrecked anything.

[neverplaysfair]

You might not know if you did.

[so_shik]

I'm pretty sure I'd notice if things were out of place. It's not that hard to memorize.

[neverplaysfair]

Tangible things aren't all that are in a person's house.

[so_shik]

...I didn't disturb anything of his, either. If that's what you're getting at.

[neverplaysfair]

Everything that was his vanished when he did.

Don't trespass in my house again. You might not be so lucky next time.

[ It's not quite the truth, and it's not quite a lie. ]

[so_shik]

...fine. [And she'll go ahead and cut off the feed. Same to you too, Joshua. She knows he doesn't quite mean it,but she vaguely understands his point.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ He means that last time Neku did it, he was uncomfortably close to getting shot again. Or starving to death, if he'd happened to try it while Josh had been kidnapped instead. It's as much a caution as it is a threat. ]
