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. ]

[Stalking is what Sho does best ... save for Mathematics and fucking things up. So guess who's following you, Josh?]

1/3

[neverplaysfair]

[ HE KNOWS WHO THAT IS. HE CAN FEEL THAT. ]

[neverplaysfair]

[ But he can't tell more than a general direction. THAT IS KIND OF NOT HELPFUL ENOUGH. ]

[neverplaysfair]

[ But as he is not about to give Sho the satisfaction of seeing him freak out worry over it, HE IS GOING TO KEEP WALKING LIKE NOTHING IS HAPPENING. Take that. Maybe he'll go bother someone else. ]

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[KEEPS FOLLOWING LIKE A BOSS. But don't expect him to keep quiet much longer.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ GO AWAAAAAY his power already freaked out once today, he'd really rather it not happen again kthx ]

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[Nope. Nevar.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Well poo. Alright. You can just stay over there, and Josh will just stay over here, and we don't have to try to kill each other or even talk if you don't want to. ]

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[Okay he's bored now.

TELEPORTING TIME. RIGHT IN YOUR FACE.] Zetta slow, Composer.

[neverplaysfair]

[ OKAY well he was expecting that BUT IT STILL STARTLES HIM A BIT, but he manages not to jump. Though his vibe does kick up a notch or two, a little warning, nothing more. ] Good afternoon to you, too.

[tangento.livejournal.com]

I've been following you for approximately 23 minutes you half-blind hectopascal!

[neverplaysfair]

You even kept track? Does this place really bore you so badly?

[tangento.livejournal.com]

Yes, but that's insignificant.

[something's up, and he's going to find out what.]

[neverplaysfair]

You should try taking up a hobby. I hear reading is quite popular here. Maybe you can even make some friends.

[tangento.livejournal.com]

As opposed to say .... blowing up garbage?

[yes he is talking about earlier.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... well then. How about we ignore the implications there :| ]

I suppose that depends on the type of "garbage". Though you'll likely be able to find someone interested in it, regardless.

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[no. never.]

Is that so? Then how about it, Composer-ku~n.

[neverplaysfair]

Hmm? How about what?

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[Sho's frequency vibe is slowly climbing up. The dark tendrils twisting, blazing up the ex-Officer's arms and neck. Ashen brown hair is pushed back by the force of the power, like a mix of super saiyan roach antennae and a lion's mane. A sardonic, if not somewhat irate grin spreads across his face as he gets all up in Joshua's personal space.]

I'm not gonna spell it out for you every iteration, hectopascal. Learn to crunch the numbers the first time.

[neverplaysfair]

[ It takes all too much effort for Joshua to not throw up on Sho right then and there. The loss of dignity and admitting just how disgusting the Taboo power is is not quite worth the amusement he'd get from watching the reaper deal with fresh stomach acid on his clothes. His vibe jumps in response, not even voluntarily but he's not going to let Sho know that; his skin is shining, hovering on the edge of pushing his body into an older appearance. He doesn't let his grin waver, even as his hands drift to his pockets. He's less than a hair's trigger away from his power releasing all on its own, he knows it, and the grip on his cellphone is a comfort to keep it from going even now. This is not a position he wanted to be in on an off-day; and the only reason he hasn't blasted Sho and gotten it over with was the risk of inciting Sanae's wrath. ]

Considering I'm not garbage, you'll have to be a tad more specific.

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[His frequency climbs even higher, the taboo markings covering his ears and climbing up the sides of his face. He haunches over the Composer, unintentionally trying to make himself seem as big as possible. Defense mechanism and all that.]

Oh you are, but that's tangent to the point. [A snicker.] Having trouble, are we? Can't even solve for x when you're busy factoring out y.

[neverplaysfair]

[ That triggers something, and it's all Josh can do to keep the energy from not directly descending upon Sho's head. He deflects it, barely, splitting it to either side of Sho, maybe not even enough to avoid clipping his arms. Joshua doesn't even have the capacity to worry about that at the moment, too busy keeping his vibe under control and not summoning Hanekoma again.

Hopefully it'll be taken as a warning shot. ]

Unlike you, I've actually found ways to entertain myself here. I do in fact have more important things to think about which don't involve parsing your mathematical babble.

[ That's right, Sho. You're not important. ]

[tangento.livejournal.com]

[lol what is bed? A warning shot? Sho? Never. He's taking it as an invitation, the grin turning absolutely wild.]

And here I was trying to be civil! [He laughs. It'll take more than a few Jesusbeams to take him out Josh, even if you were Composer elsewhere. Don't you remember the boss fight?]

[neverplaysfair]

[ It's that silly place for silly people ]

You have a very curious definition of civil, then.

[ Of course it will. But he doesn't trust his own power right now to do anything he tells it to. Sanae is way out of his league, even here, but Sho is still on the same level at best, and even a stray shot with most of Josh's power in it has a damn good chance of making Sho vanish for a week. Even if it is only to nurse his wounds. ]
