Game 043 [Voice/Written] - Nothing Wrong Here

[ 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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm sure you can handle it.

[Aaand he's on his way out of the house, bringing his journal with him.]

I'd certainly hope so. It would be such a shame to die after all that.

[ And when Neku shows up, he might be in for a bit of a surprise. ]

[The surprise in question is a gentleman caller in Joshua's bedroom. Except without all the weird creepy implications. He's mostly been making sure Josh doesn't drop dead. He'll be happy to tag out if it becomes apparent that Joshua has other people in his life that don't want him bleeding all over the wood floors.]

...pfft. I'll be there in a bit.

[That'll probably be the last reply from Neku until he gets there, unless Joshua responds with something that Neku needs to answer.

IF HE DOESN'T, then Neku will be showing up at house 38 about twenty minutes later. Aaaand up to the bedroom we go!]

[ Oh goodie, Josh feels popular. Still, he's going to be entertaining Hisoka for a while. You asked about the wrong Player, Hisoka... ]

[Yeah. Entertained. That's what this is. It's just all fun and games ~~and linefacing. So much linefacing.~~]

Seriously. Just go to sleep and shut up. Act like a sick person.

[Neku just. kind of halts once he steps inside Joshua's bedroom. Joshua since when do you have other friends.

..........this is just a friend, right. Did he walk in on something awkward oh god.]

...er.

[ Since he decided he and Hisoka were friends several months back. Also, they have slept together. Joshua addresses Hisoka first. ]

Mmm, but I'm enjoying the company.

[ And he turns to the doorway, the smile on his face every bit as exhausted as it seemed over the feed. ]

Ah. Hello, Neku.

[LIES. ALL LIES. Even the true parts BUT THAT WAS AN EXPERIMENT IT DOESN'T COUNT.]

I thought you said the person who takes care of you went home. Why am I wasting my time here?

[...HEY NOW, Neku is not Joshua's caretaker okay. Raising an eyebrow at Hisoka before shooting Joshua a "wtf?" look. Who is this jerk.]

He did.

[ Joshua merely grins back from the bed and places the ramen he was eating on the nightstand next to him. ]

Neku insisted on coming here on his own. Mr. H is the one who tends to take care of me.

[Yeah okay whatever.]

Not my business, and I can't say I care enough to stick around listening to your problems. [He turns to address Neku] I don't know you, nor do I really care to, but he's your problem now. Have fun.

Gee, thanks. [Stares at Joshua with this look.] So, what, did you get bored and find some new person to make less of a jerk? Because I don't think it's working.

Can't I just have friends? [ He giggles, but it's a bit strained. ] These things take time, anyway.

We're not friends. [And now he's rolling his eyes at Joshua] And I already told you I'm not one of your damn projects. I thought we were past that.

[Wow, this is almost like looking at himself two years ago.] ...right, good luck with that.

[ Isn't it? Maybe Josh has a type~ ] You can tell me whatever you like, dear. Hee hee.

[Line. Face.]

I'm out.

[And making his way to the stairs now, officially Done With This Shit. Tag, Neku.]

[Well that was... interesting.]

Do you think I made him mad?

[ As he casually leans over to take another sip of his ramen. ]

When do you not make people mad?

[Hang on, digging into his pocket for something.]

The moment they realize I've helped them, usually.

Even then it's still easy to be mad at you.

[Pulls out the Cure Drink pin and holds it in his hand, palm up to show Joshua.] Dunno if it'll work here or not, or if it'll even help you, but I thought I'd bring it to give it a try.

... You both care. [ He giggles. ]

[Huff.] Shut up. Do you want me to try or not?
