[ Today you might stumble across Joshua as he's out and about. He's walking around with an alert look on his face, wandering all over the village. He doesn't seem to be searching quite so much as expecting. The particularly observant might notice the way that the light seems to fall strangely on him, as if there's another light source on him that's completely independent of the cloudy sky overhead. If you get close enough, or spend enough time near him, you may find yourself subject to a mysterious headache that will fade if you move away.
His vibe is up and he's trying to attract some sort of attention, but unless you're familiar with his world, it might be confusing as to just whose attention he's trying to grab.
After combing the village which results in a distinct lack of sudden assault by crazed mathematicians, particularly of the Taboo-infused variety, he'll head back to Kat's Kradle. ]

[ If you're up and about late, late on the border of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, you might happen to catch Joshua making his way from the plaza towards Community Housing 5, holding what on closer inspection reveals itself to be a violin case. He's rather under-dressed, especially considering the snow is picking up, but he doesn't seem to mind much at all.
A little later, you can find him on top of Community Housing 5, sans violin case. He's just sitting in the snow, staring up at the stars that occasionally peek through the clouds. ]

(( Backdated to yesterday ))[ Maybe if he'd remembered that this day, out of all the days of this month, this day in particular, was the one-year anniversary of when he arrive in Luceti, he'd have been expecting something like this. As it was, he hadn't been checking the calendar. A year was a terrifying thought; a whole year separated from his city. It was one of those things he just didn't think about, pushed it to the back of his mind and ignored it for the sake of his own sanity. So he went about his day as if nothing was wrong.
The new pain started as just a burning on his shoulders, high up where his Angel wings connected, so he ignored it. And for a few minutes, it was bearable. Then without warning it pulsed straight down his back, straight down the decay, hit the bottom and seemed to explode outwards, sending pain to every corner of his body. The first pulse stopped him in his tracks. By the fourth, he had collapsed to his knees.
Joshua couldn't remember well pulling himself along and forcing his feet to move. All he knew was that it hurt, it hurt a lot, as he dragged himself off the path and through the trees and made a beeline for one specific building.
He knew what Hanekoma was capable of. That's exactly why he had no choice. As much as he knew what Sanae might make of this and how badly that could end, the terrifying certainty only grew inside of him with each explosion of pain through his body, through his Music, through his Soul. And after the agonizingly long time the short walk should have taken, he stumbled his way into Kat's Kradle just as his vibe reeled, sending his white wings flickering into existence and out just as fast. He went to support himself against a table, missed, and collapsed to the floor with barely any hope of moving again on his own. The white mass of feathers sliding in and out of his vision didn't even seem like his own anymore. The pain was too much to think over, his shirt felt warm and sticky against his back, and somehow, he was absolutely sure that either he or Shibuya was dying. Maybe even both.
Hanekoma was Joshua's only option. ]

[ The question indeed comes a couple hours after midnight, early enough that you don't have to be too much of a late-nighter to catch it going up. ]What sort of things do you do to help yourself relax?
[ After he poses the question, Joshua will be off doing his current favorite: showering. So he won't be responding for a while until he's done. ]

[ If you happen to be looking up within the vicinity of Community Building 5, or on the roof, you might spot a strange creature. It's white with black markings, vaguely fox or cat-like, has strange tattoo markings instead of front legs or its tail, and a second set of wings that are folded on top of a (possibly suspiciously familiar) set of rainbow filial wings. Oh, yes. And it's BIG. About seven feet to the shoulder, to be precise, except you can't really tell that because it's curled up and seems to be dozing.
Joshua is fed up with not being able to sleep.
Poke him?
Alternatively, maybe you noticed the GIANT CATFIGHT that suddenly erupted in the streets below between him and a creature that flickers back and forth between these two forms:
A fight which is not one to be interrupted, but after they go their separate ways after the fight, you're welcome to poke either one of them. Just expect them to be ruffled and mildly unhappy. ]
((tl;dr poke either sleepy Joshua on the roof of C5, ruffled Joshua in the street, or ruffled Hanekoma in the street. All in Noise forms. Don't worry, they won't actually attack you.))

[ Hey Luceti, who remembers that stunt Joshua pulled ages and ages back?
Well, guess what. He's trying again, in a different place. Because the ever-so-lovely earthquake has resulted in a shift of what he thinks is Luceti's center, but pretty much no one but Josh cares about that anyway.
Let's hope there aren't too many people in House 29 in the wee hours of the morning, because between there and the ruins of what was once House 22 stands Joshua. He's still for a moment, hands raised to the sky, murmuring to himself.
Suddenly there's a flash of light.
Then loud, echoing, sharp enough to feel like a punch straight to the chest, ]CRACK![ Yup, he failed again. This time around, though, he's lying crumpled on the ground, completely unmoving. Occasionally there's a faint crackle as a soft wisp of power flickers across his skin and vanishes.
Um. He might need help. Beware the zapping. ]
