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. ]

... [ 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. ))

[[ 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.

[neverplaysfair]

... The hedgehog can talk? Sounds entertaining at least.

[ There's the sound of shuffling as he stands up. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Well, he says he's a hedgehog. Doesn't really look like one. There are plenty'a talking animals around here, apparently.

Anyway, if you can't see the village from where you are, try listening for a river. They all lead to the city. Or I could come pick you up, if you're really lost.

[neverplaysfair]

I think I can find it myself, thank you. [ Ignore the fact that it's been ages since he's been anywhere other than Shibuya and maaaaay not be the greatest with finding his way around new places. ]

Follow the river... [ He chuckles. ] Wouldn't it be funny if these people dragging us to this place were living there with everyone they caught?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Whatever you say.

And I haven't been able to sense anything, but hey, it's possible. More likely that the bosses are on a different plane, though -- the few locals that are still here... they're not very spirited.

[neverplaysfair]

Well, someone has to be on this one, right?

... Not spirited, how? [ ... Why does every tree look the same. B| ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

'Not very spirited' as in 'need a microscope to see a glimmer of Imagination.' Even from the RG, I can see they're dimmer than your usual Shibuya RG folks. To the point where something's really not right about it all.

[neverplaysfair]

... Broken? Or is it possible that they're just naturally that way?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

There's nothing natural about it, that's for sure. Hard to get a good look from here, though -- can't tell if this is some sorta evolved RG or a broken UG or what. I've never seen anything like it.

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... Ignore the momentary crashing and the sound of lots of leaves being disturbed. A moment later, ] Something you've never seen? Someone check hell, it might be a bit chilly there right now.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[ Pause pause pause, and now there's amused almost-concern in his voice. ] Doin' alright, Josh? Sounds like you just took down a tree or something.

[ Then, minus the concern-- ] What, your UG froze over?

[neverplaysfair]

I assure you, the tree completely deserved it.

Oh, please, Sanae. My Game is not as cruel as it could be and you know it.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[[ You know, I keep forgetting they aren't filtering to each other -- this conversation is public -- but whatever, we'll say Sanae forgot. ♥ ]]

Much nicer than Games used to be, I'll give you that. Heh, back in my day...

[neverplaysfair]

(( WHAT IS THIS FILTERING YOU SPEAK OF, JOSH DOES NOT KNOW. ... :|
♥ ))

Yes, yes, back in the day when the wheel was still a new concept and fire was just getting popular.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Pfft. You wound me, Josh, you really do.
