Game 002 [Action] - Apparently Rainbow Wings Attract Attention

[neverplaysfair]

[ Hello, Luceti. Have a Joshua slowly wandering through the village. He keeps looking about and glancing to a piece of paper he's holding, which if you manage to inspect it, has a crudely-drawn map on it. He's heading towards Community Housing #5, so feel free to intercept him at any point. ]

Fine, fine. I could always kidnap Phones and chatter at him instead. Not like he'd mind.

[neverplaysfair]

True. He probably wouldn't mind anything you did until you pointed a gun at him. Hee hee.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

...want to bet I could hold him at gunpoint and he'd still love it?

[neverplaysfair]

Would you even be willing to try?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Guess not. Guns aren't my kind of thing.

In theory, though...

[neverplaysfair]

... I wouldn't know. I doubt his trust in you would break with that alone.

... I was kidding?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Josh, his trust in you isn't broken. The Game was rough on him, he got a few nasty surprises, and he's still getting over it. That's all. Neku's the kind of kid that takes a while with this sort of thing.

[neverplaysfair]

... I know that. That's why I said it. I shot him twice and he still trusts me. There's no reason why simply aiming at him would make him hate you.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

... Right, then. Phones loves the both of us, I can do anything I want to the kid, and with any luck I'll never touch your gun again. Happy endings all around.

[neverplaysfair]

Hee hee. "Love" is probably a bit strong.

Did you know that Sho's here?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

...yeah, I came across him my first day here. He tried to jump you, I'm guessing?

[neverplaysfair]

He did indeed. You might have at least given me a bit of warning. [ There's a sliver of an accusation in the statement. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Kinda slipped my mind -- having you show up, and so soon after I got here... [ A good liar, but he's trying to pull off a crap lie. ]

[neverplaysfair]

You mentioned Neku.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Phones is Phones. He was already on my mind when you showed up -- I've been watching him.

[neverplaysfair]

Yes, I suppose Neku would be the only one you'd be worrying about...

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

And just what's that supposed to mean?

[neverplaysfair]

It's easy to avoid making that sort of enemy among those who don't know what you really are.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Lost me there, J. But if we're talkin' about 'what I really am,' maybe that's a conversation we shouldn't be having in public.

[neverplaysfair]

... Hee hee.

I wonder if Sho can even inherit my power here?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Doubt it. Death doesn't have much weight to it, here. And you're too far from the city.

[neverplaysfair]

Death doesn't... what's that mean?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

You haven't heard of this yet? You can come back, here. You lose something -- entry fee, you could say -- but... you can come back.
