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. ]

[ Look sharp, Josh, Sanae's coming over to chat. And no, that noise he's making isn't part of a weak attempt to smother laughter, of course not. Very determinedly not looking at those wings, in fact. ]

Need a hand, J?

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... Sanae... maybejustalittletinyglarehere ]

I'm managing by myself, thank you.

[ And a little not-so-subtle coughing laugh because he can't help himself. ]

You sure? What're you trying to find, anyway?

[neverplaysfair]

Apparently they've set aside a room for me to stay in. [ His eyes narrow a little. ] What's so amusing?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Nothing. [ He flutters his own perfectly inconspicuous white wings. ]

Oh? Sounds nice. If it doesn't work out, you can always come sleep over at my place.

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... you are going to wake up one morning to find your precious spraypaint cans emptied on those wings, and Josh will enjoy every moment of it ]

You have a place? Is it where you set up the cafe?

[ Don't you even think about it, Joshua. ]

That's the one.

[neverplaysfair]

[ He's thinking~ ]

I'm a big boy, now. I can live on my own. But I'll keep it mind if it makes you feel better.

Maybe I'm just gettin' lonely without you.

[neverplaysfair]

I'd find that hard to believe.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

And why's that?

[neverplaysfair]

Are you really the type to get lonely?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Sure, sure. Very lonely. No teenage Composers with rainbow wings to force-feed coffee to.

[neverplaysfair]

I'm sure you could manage.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Don't know about that. I'd start talking to the coffee.

[neverplaysfair]

As long as it didn't start talking back, you probably wouldn't be too bad off.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

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.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

... 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.
