Game 008 [Action] - Not Just As Planned

[neverplaysfair]

(( In which Kim lacks appropriate icons s-sob ))

[ In the early morning hours, standing roughly between buildings 36, 38, and 39, is a somewhat unfamiliar figure. Maybe you recognize those rainbow wings. Maybe that hair style and color looks awfully familiar. Maybe you can't see at all, what with it being really freaking early and still dark out.

But one thing's pretty clear: the figure standing there isn't a teen. He's an adult.

He raises his hands and closes his eyes. After a moment, he starts mumbling to himself. He didn't see anyone close enough around to hear him, but if you happen to, you might notice the translation keeps slipping. ]

... stablishing li... wer. Release con... cessitates spa... ting. Beginning scan.

CRACK!

[ A noise, loud enough to give you the feeling of being hit in the chest if you're reasonably close, echoes loudly around the village. Feel free to be woken up, investigate, whatever. If you manage to locate its source, you'll find an adult Joshua kneeling on the ground, clutching his head in pain. ]

Shit.

Hey, maybe I'll get lucky and you'll freeze to death first.

Hmm, how's this sound? First Mr. H kissed me again, and then there was more groping, and before I knew it I was up against the wall, and mmm... [ He shivers and giggles. ] Then we took a nice shower together...

...keep on like that and I'm tossing you out in the snow, Josh.

[neverplaysfair]

Toss me out in the snow and the story goes all over the journals.

You can always take the couch.

[ Snort. You know he's trying so hard not to be amused by this ] Not happening. Blackmail's more effective when it actually happened, y'know.

[ Yeah give him a second to laugh at that ]

[ and then: ] I'll pass.

[neverplaysfair]

Oh well. I could also tell dear little Neku that you kicked me out into the cold.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

You say that like it'll be viewed as a bad thing. [ sigh. ] ...look, I've got a second bedroom, but I was starting to use it as a studio -- I'll have to get the bed set back up and all, but if you're really dead-set against the couch, you can take that.

[neverplaysfair]

That sounds good to me.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

And don't touch anything, got it? [ Well, it's better than sharing his bed. Or trying to make Josh sleep on the couch, as he'd probably wake up next to him anyway -- Joshua never did follow orders well. ]

[neverplaysfair]

Of course, Sanae. Of course.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

I mean it. Artists don't like it when you mess with their stuff. [ Flicking another bean at you just because he can. ] Need help getting up the stairs?

[neverplaysfair]

No, I'm fine. [ He pulls himself to his feet, and pauses for a moment as his head spins. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[ He lurches forward on reflex, but stops where he's standing. ] You sure? Come on, Josh, I'm not gonna mock you for it.

[neverplaysfair]

No, just- got dizzy. [ He heads towards the stairs. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[ Well he'll still watch you carefully, following behind. Feel free to go poking around his rooms with a CONCERNED STARE on the back of your head. ]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Well, he's not going to be passing out, don't worry. He stops outside the studio. ] Since this one has no bed, I assume it's the one?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

That's right. [ No bed, but there are two desks and a bookshelf, already amassing a nice collection of papers and easels and cans of spraypaint. There's a bed frame and mattress leaning on the wall where he hadn't bothered to move them, and Hanekoma goes to fumble with those. ] If you show up in my bed I'm tossing you out, story or no story.

[neverplaysfair]

Hee hee. Ruining my fun. [ He picks up a can of spraypaint, light blue, and idly starts shaking it. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should sleep in my clothes, just to be safe. [ He's not really serious, but yeah, eying Joshua with a sort of halfhearted wariness now. ] What happened to 'don't touch anything'?
