Game 050 [Voice/Action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ While leaving out a mug of coffee, mostly-filled, might seem to be a weird thing to do in remembrance, regardless it's what Joshua does as he goes about cleaning the downstairs floor of his house, the space previously known as Kat's Kradle.

Without any real reason to keep more than the cooking area clean, he hadn't. Dust coats many of the tables and forms sometimes-impressive piles in the corners. Today, despite the rain, Joshua has the front door of House 38 wide open, and he can occasionally be seen sweeping piles of dirt outside.

It's rather cold, but Joshua doesn't seem to mind it. At least it's keeping him from working up a sweat. It's a bit late for a new year cleaning, but at least he's getting around to it at all, right?

Every so often he takes breaks to check on his journal, which he left the following question on earlier in the day: ]

How many of you learned things here that you're not looking forward to having to learn again when you go back to your own worlds? Your own death might be the obvious one, but I mean things like, say, some truth about your world, or friends, or family as well. Anything you'll need to find out again if you forget this place.

[neverplaysfair]

Well, that was my answer. What's yours?

[action]

[soundfrequency]

...I don't know.

[Stepping closer to Joshua to offer him the broom back. Nope, not cleaning.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua sighs and takes the broom back, then resumes sweeping. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Maybe I came to check on you.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Because of my journal entry? [ Sweep sweep sweep ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

For a few reasons.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Do tell. [ He can skirt around this just as long as you can, Neku. ]

[action] this is so late I'm sorry ;;

[soundfrequency]

Pass. Not like I can get an honest answer out of you.

[action] /tenderly loves all over this tag

[neverplaysfair]

Mmm. Says who?

[action] <3

[soundfrequency]

...uh, yourself? Or should I say I can never get an honest complete answer out of you.

[action] <3!

[neverplaysfair]

I've told you my age. [ The first thing that comes to mind that he probably shouldn't have told Neku in the first place. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

And besides that what else can you say you've told me honestly?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

You only need it once to break a "never".

[action]

[soundfrequency]

...that's not the point. You still hardly ever do.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Which means any attempt to get an honest answer out of me is not necessarily pointless!

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Once out of all the other times is pointless.

[...why is he even arguing about this. EVEN THIS IS POINTLESS.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Just because I won't give you more examples doesn't mean they don't exist. Maybe you've just missed them.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

The fact I even have to try to decipher the parts where you're honest is whack.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Really? I'd call it entertaining, myself.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Ugh. Fine, if you want to play it that way then good luck getting an answer from me.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Hee hee. While we're on the subject, how was making up for missing Shiki's birthday? [ The subject of "things which won't get answers", of course. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

What about it? Maybe I have some moves.

[...yeah, he can't believe he just said that either.]

[action] 1/2 also lol keywords...

[neverplaysfair]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Sorry, Neku. Josh is laughing. ]

[action] yes. yes he has been training

[soundfrequency]

Sh-shut up!

[Hey, maybe he does have some moves. NOT LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW.]
