I've gathered that some of you out there are rather old. I'd think if you were immortal, individual years would start to lose their meaning with time. So, what do you think constitutes a memorable birthday? Every ten years? Every one hundred? How old do you get before you stop taking notice of single years?

[ The camera is covered, but Joshua is making no real effort to disguise his handwriting. He's too upset for that. ]

What should you do if you're so homesick you honestly, truly cannot stand it?

[ A few minutes later, the following is added. ]

[ Locked to Haruhi - 100% ]

The friendship club might have to wait a bit longer.

[ The journal feed opens to the sound of dull tapping in the background. Then it pauses, and Joshua speaks. ]

What do you suppose is their criteria for drafting individuals to fight?

Or if you don't care for musing, what do you do when so many people are away?

You know, I never did like the enforced dynamic of Valentine's Day and White Day. To save you all the trouble of worrying what would be proper, I've decided I will be the one to deliver chocolate on Valentine's Day to my male friends. I expect reciprocation on White Day from all of you, hee hee.

This means you, too, Neku.

[ With another giggle, the feed cuts.

Afterward, Joshua can be found out and about delivering chocolate. This is made a bit more difficult by the fact that he doesn't actually know where all of you live, but he's got chocolate for Hanekoma (dropped off before he left the house, of course), Neku, Hisoka, and Haruhi (yes, he is delivering that one mostly to be jerk). He also has a few more in case he bumps into anyone he's not particularly close to but he'd be amused to give anyway. Yes Hisoka he is trying to find your house, and if you don't show yourself soon enough he will start pinging you. Hard. With mind-beams. Ooooo mind-beams~ ]


(( First journal comment is reserved, but feel free to wait Go ahead and respond, or bump into him in person ))

[ It's early in the morning when the audio clicks on, just about the time when the earliest risers will be waking up. Joshua isn't going to be going to bed any time soon, though, so he'll be responding well into the day. ]

Call me curious. What do you dream of?

[ His tone of voice is level, more bored than curious with just a hint of weariness. ]

[ Filtered from Sanae Hanekoma and Sho Minamimoto - 50% ]

Well, that wasn't exactly pleasant.

[ Filtered to Neku Sakuraba - 70% ]

Neku, come find me.

[ /Filter to Neku ]

[ /Filter from Sanae and Sho ]

[ The camera only catches a glimpse of trees from below. Joshua's back, but he's exhausted, among other wonderful things, so he knows he's not up to making his usual filters. So instead, he's hoping that the two won't think to look for a second part of the journal to hack once they get through the first one.

For those who want to wander across him, he's actually sitting against a tree a small distance from the back of Community Housing 2. He isn't visible from the building, but he can see that it's there... he just doesn't know which one it is.

No, no one can sense his vibe right now. >.> ]
