Game 021 [Action] - Happy Six-Month Anniversary. Sucker.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua has been running a few errands today. Maybe you've seen him traversing the main area of the village. Now he's left the plaza and was about to reach the nothernmost bridge when he suddenly collapses.

He's awake when he hits the ground, and within moments, is doubled over, clutching his stomach. Within a minute, he's audibly suppressing gagging noises.

Good afternoon, Luceti. Josh is getting hit with Shibuya withdrawal. ]

Comments

[ Joshua carefully tucks the gun away, then reaches to take the offered hand. He unsteadily pulls himself to his feet. ]

[soundfrequency]

[Once he's up Neku pulls Joshua's arm around his shoulders to give him something to hang onto, also puts an arm around Joshua's waist to give him more support.]

Where are you staying?

[neverplaysfair]

[ Josh doesn't entirely need the support, but as his legs feel like they may very well mutiny and cease to work at any moment, leaning on Neku sounds like a good idea. ]

Community housing five. [ Yes it is far away thanks for noticing :| ]

[soundfrequency]

[...sheesh yeah that's far away. Hopefully Joshua can make it that far because that's where Neku is heading for. He just really wants to get away from this spot like now.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ And Josh has no objections. This would be so much easier if he was willing to float his way over there, but falling out of the sky doesn't sound like a nice plan and Joshua honestly has no idea if this sudden lack of not-badness is going to last, or for how long. ]

... I was going to let him tell you, himself.

[soundfrequency]

I still don't understand.

[neverplaysfair]

You don't have to.

[soundfrequency]

I want to know what the hell is going on.

[neverplaysfair]

With what in particular?

[soundfrequency]

Why would he say he was okay with you dying? If that were true he wouldn't have tried to help you.

[neverplaysfair]

It's complicated.

[soundfrequency]

That's it? Just "it's complicated"?

[neverplaysfair]

This isn't mine to tell, Neku.

[soundfrequency]

...fine.

[He doesn't really feel like arguing right now so he just drops it.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Good, because Josh is swaying right about now. ]

[soundfrequency]

[Neku tightens his grip around Joshua's waist and stops walking.]

Need to take a break?

[neverplaysfair]

I'm fine. [ Just a little unsteady. ]

[soundfrequency]

Right.

[But he's not walking again yet.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Yeah, well Joshua is. Better keep up, Neku. ]

[soundfrequency]

[Neku makes a noise in protest but he keeps up with him.]

If you fall over you better not take me down with you.

[neverplaysfair]

Well then, I suppose I'd better not fall over.

[soundfrequency]

I don't trust you not to.

[Tightens his grip more just in case. :|]

[neverplaysfair]

Oh? And here I thought you'd finally learned to trust me, Neku. [ Yes he is leaning a little closer, why do you ask ]

[soundfrequency]

You're making it a little hard to right now.

[neverplaysfair]

Why? Because I told you not to do something, and bad things happened when you did it anyway?
