Game 014 [Action] - Give a Little, Get a Lot

[neverplaysfair]

[ Bundled up, slowly making his way through the snow, a bundle of wood that looks a bit too big for him balancing slightly precariously on his shoulder, is Joshua. He's making his way towards Kat's Kradle, and hey, maybe he looks like he needs help. Or maybe you're in Kat's Kradle when he arrives there. Poke him? ]

Lazy and efficient are rather close to each other, aren't they.

Depends on your view.

Wy do you need that much wood anyway?

[neverplaysfair]

I'm repairing a hole.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[A suspicious look. Joshua, have you been blowing things up with your mind?] A hole caused by what?

[neverplaysfair]

[ Maaaybe~ ] A simple mishap.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

You don't do anything simply.

[neverplaysfair]

Who said the mishap was mine?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

I very much doubt anyone would find your company bearable long enoughto be on such good terms with you.

[neverplaysfair]

Your experience is your own, and to project it onto everyone else would be a grave mistake.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Fine. Then volunteer some information. What caused the hole?

[neverplaysfair]

I told you, a simple mishap.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

And you've got no intention of elaborating on it, do you?

[neverplaysfair]

Follow me and you'll see the damage. Help carry wood and I just might tell you more about it.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

How good of you to leave yourself a loophole that would let you opt out of actually having to tell me anything if you change your mind later.

[neverplaysfair]

Indeed. Then the question for you becomes just how badly you want to know. [ And he starts slowly walking through the snow again, because he actually is getting close to dropping the wood :| feel free to follow along. ]

[And quietly, though huffing softly, Hisoka grabs some of Joshua's load, mostly to spare him from embarrassing himself when he toppled over with it or something.]

[neverplaysfair]

Hee hee. Thank you. [ Walking~ ]

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Whatever. [Not that he's very much help, really. He and Joshua are kind of a similar build; physical labor doesn't look good on either of them.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ It's still two people. And before too long, they reach Kat's Kradle. Lo and behold, there's a hole in the ceiling off in the far corner. ]

Now it just needs to go upstairs.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

You're pushing it. [Seriously, what is that hole. He might be staring a little.]

[neverplaysfair]

Well, it does. [ Carefully navigating the wood up the stairs... ]

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

This story had better be good. [Following despite his better instincts...]

[neverplaysfair]

[ And the first room off the hallway is a studio with easils and art strewn about, one large mural with a lot of interesting wings drawn in gray around a large strange white reaper wing, and a bed tucked against one wall. This is where Josh carries the wood, setting it on top of a small pile already there. ]

He surprised me.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Hisoka's trying to look unimpressed by the imposing mural, but the size alone makes it difficult to ignore.] "He"?

[neverplaysfair]

My housemate. [ Not grinning about the mural, of course not. ]
