Apping to adstringendum (this is Another Day!Joshua~)

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Oh you must be joking.

No Tin Pin Slammer tournmanets? No Pinhead Weekly? Running water's a luxury?

I mean, I know I was living in a glorified sewer beforehand, but at least the Shibuya River had proper plumbing and a minibar.

Well, so long as I can keep my pins, and my Rainbow Kaiser, it's not a total wasteland. At least my other self will be around to keep things interesting.

Oh, and his Neku~

Comments

[leggierissimo]

Ah, coming to join the party?

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

It doesn't look like much of a party, but yes, it seems like I'll be joining it.

[leggierissimo]

Oh no, you're right on that count, unfortunately. But, I suppose we have to make the best of it, hm?

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

I suppose it won't be all that bad... I heard I would at least get a hot bath every day.

Ahh, what's my room like, though~? It's right down the hall from Black'n'Blue?

[leggierissimo]

If you're willing to walk, that is. Thankfully, it isn't very far! Any luxury is better than none, considering.

Yours will be sharing a wall with his, actually.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

[Sigh.] I'd prefer a personal bath, walking all the way to a public one is awfully inconvenient, but you do have a point.

Ooh, what a lucky bruise he is~

[leggierissimo]

It is only a block or so. And it's far better than going for a week or more with dirt all over you.

... well, sandwiched between the two of us like he'll end up being, I'm sure he'll complain.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

I suppose it's better than going across town, but I'm really going to miss having a full hall bath down the hall.

[Okay, giggling, lots of giggling because that thought is absolutely too amusing.] I hope your Neku doesn't have nearly as much of an emo streak as mine, he might do something drastic~

[leggierissimo]

[... stop making him miss home. It's been far too long.]

Actually, I'm pretty sure he's worse than yours on that front. At least he seems to be working on it.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

[He can't, he misses it already and he hasn't even left yet.]

Ahh, I can pry the little clam out of his shell if you'd like~

[leggierissimo]

An, offering assistance so soon? How can I say no?

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Give me a week-- give me a day and I'll turn him into a model citizen in no time~

Or at least a proper housemate.

[Yes he really is that confident in the power of Tin Pin Slammer]

[leggierissimo]

[Something tells him this is going to be incredibly entertaining.]

This I have to see. I hope you don't mind if I watch.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Oh, of course not~ In fact, I'm sure you could learn a thing or two, Josh. I'm a little sad we never got the chance to duel when you were visiting my world.

[leggierissimo]

Well, you might just luck out here, then. Though pins might be a problem...

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Nonsense, I could lend you a few of my own. Oh, not Bahamut, though, that one's special. But I have a few other priceless gems in my deck you could use~

Of course, with this on me [he holds up his Rainbow Kaiser on his wrist with a smirk] I'm not sure you stand a chance regardless~

[leggierissimo]

[Well, he could always snag some of Neku's pins, but~

... but seeing the Rainbow Kaiser makes him pause. Oh, he never noticed that...]

Secret weapon of yours?

[carsharkkonishi]

...But we already have a Joshua....

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Well what's the matter with having two~?

[carsharkkonishi]

Nothing, really....

Does he have a twin?

[the13tharcana]

...Joshua-senpai's never told me he had a twin.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Really, he's never mentioned me? [A look of shock and appall is all over his face.] Oh, how rude of him~! Well, you can call me Pink, if you'd like.

What should I call you~?

[the13tharcana]

Pink...-san, then? [Can you tell that he's still a bit out of it here?]

--Ah, and now it's rude of me, I apologize. I'm Ryoji Mochizuki! Just Ryoji is fine!

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Pink-sama works~ [Let him be a little vain.]

Ryoji-kun? Are you good friends with my lovely looking counterpart then~?

[the13tharcana]

...Are you sure that's what you'd like me to call you? [Not that... Ryoji minded much, as long as it made the guy happy. ...But dear god, all the mindfuckery right now, and Ryoji couldn't help but remember what Joshua's reaction to him trying to call him 'sama' was once before. Though he supposed that... also depended on the circumstances back then.]

You could say that.

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Hmm... I suppose it depends on my mood. Tell you what, weekdays it can be Pink-sama, and weekends you can be more personal and call me Pink-kun instead~ [Oh he is so enjoying messing with this one.]

Oh? I could say that... but would I be correct?

[the13tharcana]

[Dude... Ryoji wasn't sure if you were for real or if you were just trying to pull his leg there. Either way, he could already feel that this was going to be one hell of a ride...]

But what if I mix those up?

[And oh boy, he really needed to learn how to leave things unsaid without rising any more questions.]

Yes, you would be correct! It's just that I'm not really sure whether Joshua-senpai considers me as much of a friend as I do that in regards to him. [Not that it was actually the other way around, or anything! He could stick to that, right?]

[pinkcrayonwarrior]

Just mark it on your calendar~ Mark the weekdays as days you should call me Pink-sama, and weekends as the day you can call me Pink-kun~ [It seems like a real hassle just to call him the proper name, but Pink doesn't mind, he likes making someone jump through loops for him <3]

Hmm, he didn't even mention his twin to you, so I can see where you could have such concerns~ [Yep. Pink is now causing issues.]

[the13tharcana]

I suppose... I could try doing that. [Yes, there, he'll go along with it... for the hell of it. And probably simply because it might become fun for the longer run.]

So where do you fit in with the whole Shibuya thing?
