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. ]

Polka dots? Right. When we get home I'll put in a request to the folks up top, see what we can do about that.

[neverplaysfair]

Why do you think they're different?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Whaddaya mean by that?

[neverplaysfair]

The wings.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

These aren't my wings, J. These are fakes -- don't feel the same. If you ever get promoted, you'll get it.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Psh, what are his chances of ever getting promoted? ]

Well, I guessed that. I don't have wings at all anymore. It would be strange if I finally got them again now.

Is that why our wings are different?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

I haven't figured out what the wings mean, yet. It's gotta be relevant to Soul or personality, though -- Phones has got white ones, too, which isn't too surprising.

[neverplaysfair]

You and Neku, hmm?

[ He's quiet for a moment. ]

I guess that's not too surprising.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

...don't worry, J. He's not gonna get promoted just yet.

[ Pause pause pause. Cheerful subject! ]

Speaking of Phones, you didn't happen to let slip a little something about a certain artist's secret identity, did you? He gives me this look, now.

[neverplaysfair]

Me? Why, I wouldn't even consider it!

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

I told you to keep that on the down-low, boss.

[neverplaysfair]

Maybe you're just imagining things...

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

It's possible.

Anyway, if you need somewhere to stay, I've got a place with an extra bedroom -- got the whole house to myself, actually. But if you're lookin' for an apartment, they're free. Everything's free here.

[neverplaysfair]

Everything? That's convenient. I guess that means there's more here than just trees?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

I'm comin' to you from the village nearby. Shouldn't be hard to find it if you wander around long enough -- I managed it, after all.

We've got plumbing but no electricity, so cell phones are just shiny paperweights. Some psychs'll work, though, and according to -- [ He falters for just a second, but no he's not going to tell Josh that Minamimoto is here; it's best to keep all his options open right now ] -- somma the locals, Noise can exist here too.

[neverplaysfair]

Well, this just gets better and better, doesn't it? I'll have to see what I can manage, then. There may not be a UG to hijack, but I may just manage to gain some control over this place after all.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Be my guest. Though, if I can get word to the higher-ups, they might actually do something about this -- even you've never broken this many rules at once, J.

[neverplaysfair]

[ He chuckles ] I thought no one was foolish enough to try to break my record. I'm proud of that title, I'll have you know.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can get back to work on that soon enough. Shouldn't be too hard for you.

[neverplaysfair]

I don't know. Even my winning charm can only keep me out of so much trouble.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Isn't that what you have me for? I really shouldn't be encouraging this.

[neverplaysfair]

I suppose that between the two of us, we just might manage to cover for the next time I decide to have a bit of fun.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

As long as you let me in on it. No fun if all I get to do is clean up afterward.

[neverplaysfair]

But it's your job to do the clean-up. Hee hee.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

But it'd be nice if I got a tip every now and then.
