Game 022 [Action] - Warning: Do Not Poke, Contents Under Pressure

[neverplaysfair]

[ Today, there is a one-man pride parade Joshua on a mission. A mission that just happens to involve (somehow) a little too casually strolling from Community Housing 5 to House 10. After the events in the Closed Space, Josh is going to be having a little chat with Haruki.

Feel free to intercept him along the way or be intercepted like Shiki was in her post, yes this is a little bit after that let's assume she got sidetracked and made it to the house before he did or something idk, but residents of House 10 will before long hear a knocking at their door. ]

I doubt you did. His things are still here anyway.

[neverplaysfair]

I'm not talking about him being sent home, Neku.

[soundfrequency]

I know, I'm just saying he's not gone gone. If he did die then he'll be back in a week.

[Gah, he's hoping that's not the case.]

[neverplaysfair]

As long as this isn't more involved than a simple death. [ From his tone of voice, he's skeptical. ]

[soundfrequency]

Then what do you think?

[neverplaysfair]

The space might have consumed all of his Soul.

[soundfrequency]

...which means what.

[neverplaysfair]

Gone.

[soundfrequency]

...

No. He'll be back.

[neverplaysfair]

If you insist. It'd be much more interesting if he does come back, after all. [ He giggles softly ]

[soundfrequency]

I haven't had a chance to yell at him yet, he has to come back.

[neverplaysfair]

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that the universe has a strange habit of obliquely catering to your whims. [ The irony being, well. It kinda does. ]

[soundfrequency]

Shut up.

[neverplaysfair]

So, what happened?

[soundfrequency]

...what happened?

[neverplaysfair]

After the creatures overtook us.

[soundfrequency]

...

I don't remember.

[neverplaysfair]

... Really. [ :| ]

[soundfrequency]

Do you? I just remember waking up at home after that.

[neverplaysfair]

You were still moving around while I was frozen in place. Here I'd think you'd at least remember a bit more than me.

[soundfrequency]

Screw you. That's a lame attempt to put the blame on me when you don't know either.

[neverplaysfair]

... They were disabling me, Neku. [ And you are a damn lucky kid that he's admitting this to you, even after the fact. ] I shut down around them. [ And he doesn't know why. He has a lot of sneaking suspicions, but the one person who could possibly tell him why has poofed. ]

[soundfrequency]

[And he's surprised by that. But rrgh. He hates when Joshua acts all disappointed in him for some reason.]

...I don't know anything.

[neverplaysfair]

Alright, let's try a different question. Did anything happen to me after they got closer?

[soundfrequency]

After you basically shut down? Nothing that I can really remember. Except you er... sparked every so often. Like a shock. I guess that's the way to put it.
