Game 001 [Voice] - Game On

[neverplaysfair]

[ The audio feed cuts in midway through Joshua mumbling to himself. ]

--ere and, oh, looks like that did it.

[ There’s a few seconds’ pause, then the sound of chuckling. ]

Of course, now that I have it working, I don’t have anything to talk about! What do people usually do with these sorts of things, anyway? Hmm... Dear diary: woke up in a strange world today. It doesn’t seem to be a certain someone’s fault. Would like to get back to my Shibuya soon. Hope I didn’t leave the tub running. [ He giggles at his own joke. ]

You're telling me. I've been looking into it, but there's no lingering traces of any sorta energy signature -- I'll give you a full report later.

But as I see it, the guys holding us here are... probably on level with me and the guys up top.

[neverplaysfair]

... Hee hee. Sounds like a fun challenge.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Or they might just be in some equivalent of the UG, maybe Composer-level. There are theories that the Malnosso are working for someone bigger.

...anyway, before you go around challenging the bosses, at least let me do some recon first -- I can't sweet-talk these guys for you if you screw up.

[neverplaysfair]

I'm not sure they'd be willing to listen, considering I'd be trying to break their rules; not play along the gray edges of them.

But do as you wish.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Who knows how these guys think? I can't get a read on them yet. Not enough info.

With any luck, I'll find a way to contact 'em before too long -- or the bosses back home. Then we'll be outta here. And then Shibuya will be alright.

[neverplaysfair]

Well then, best of luck.

[ He pauses for a moment. ]

Sanae?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

...yeah?

[neverplaysfair]

My gun is gone. [ There's just the slightest edge to his voice. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

...

I might know where to find it. Won't rest until we get it back. Alright?

[neverplaysfair]

It's not alright. Someone took it, Sanae.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Entrance fee, Joshua.

[neverplaysfair]

No one gets to touch my gun but me. No one.

1/2

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Sorry to say it, Josh, but you don't run this game.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Look, it's probably sitting on a shelf in the item shop, waiting for you. I can go check.

[neverplaysfair]

... [ Scoff ] Fine.

(( *keysmash* the FAQ isn't clear on whether I need mod permission or not to get his gun back, but I'll ask just to be safe... ))

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

See? It'll work out. [ Pause. ] I could pick it up for you, if you want, so that no one tries to steal it. Firearms are few and far between, here.

[[ I had Sanae get his stuff without checking, and no one seemed to mind, so... I don't think you need to. But yeah, never hurts to ask, 'specially since a loaded gun is different than a pair of sunglasses and a wristwatch. ]]

[neverplaysfair]

[ There's a lengthy pause. ]

If you find it. Sure. I... [ He clears his throat. ] Oh, never mind.

(( Well the FAQ in one part says firearms and a few other things of that type need to get cleared with a head mod, and in another part it just says they're fine if the character has them in canon so... pfft I'll ask. Josh wouldn't even care too much if it weren't loaded, really, he just wants the gun. ))

1/2

[[ We are fellows in Joshua-luvs-his-suicide-gun headcanon, then? ♥ ]]

I won't let anyone else touch it and I won't let it get scratched up and I'll do my best not to leave fingerprints on it. Really, Josh, I got this.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

And if anyone else tries to take it, I'll beat them up for you.

[neverplaysfair]

Oh, no need to beat them up. Just let me know and I'll erase them personally. Hee hee.

(( Actually, no. XD In my headcanon, Joshua is too old; guns like that didn't exist back when he died. I prefer the idea that that's the gun he used to take out the previous Composer. Wonderful sense of irony he has. ))

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[[ Mm, even better. Such wonderful old-as-dirt characters we have. xD ]]

You're the boss.

[neverplaysfair]

(( Indeed. Also MOD PERMISSION GET! 8D ))

I suppose I should try to find you, then?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[[ Hurray! /throws confetti ]]

That'd be nice, yeah. Awful lonely over here.

[neverplaysfair]

You said there's a village?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Yep. We've got a couple hundred residents, but don't think they're all RG folks; I've already met a witch on a broomstick, some guy that can juggle fire, and a spiky blue hedgehog that speaks fluent Japanese. Or whatever we're talking in here -- it's all translated somehow.

I just wandered around a bit 'til I could see it through the trees. The guys that dump us here always leave us close to the village.
