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. ]

[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?

[soundfrequency]

...

[You got him there.]

[neverplaysfair]

You're the one who shook that trust first.

[soundfrequency]

I had to get you help. How the hell was I supposed to know things were that bad with you two.

[neverplaysfair]

I appreciate the sentiment, but I still told you not to get him.

[soundfrequency]

I know, and I knew you'd get mad, but I only did what I thought was right.
