Whatever. I'm glad that Shiki left.

This place sucks anyway.

[forcerounds]

Where'd they stick you?

[endswith]

Some stupid place called Adstring. I hate it.

[forcerounds]

With a name like Adstring? I'd say so.

[endswith]

It's not the name that pisses me off. The spirits in charge suck.

[forcerounds]

Means a lot. ...You do have sucky spirit experience, don't you? [Canon points. They're a terrible thing.]

[endswith]

[Yeeeeep.]

Doesn't that kind of go both ways?

[destructoplush]

Neku!! What do you mean by that?!

[endswith]

[Ack. Busted.]

Exactly what it sounds like!

[A huff. Defensive.]

It's dangerous there!

[destructoplush]

Hey, you know I can handle danger! Who was the winner on the first week?

[endswith]

Yeah, but -

[Argh. Initial reflex is to argue, but what's the point? He forces himself to relax.]

Look, it's just better that you're not there, alright? Trust me on this.

[destructoplush]

I made it through the game too! You shouldn't worry about me being in danger...

[endswith]

[That's not something you can just turn off, Shiki. But Neku will just shrug.]

Alright, fine. Not worrying. See?

[:|]

[leggierissimo]

It seems like Neku-kun is terribly protective of you~

[destructoplush]

I guess so. But it's not like I can't hold up my end of things so he shouldn't be so worried!

[leggierissimo]

Even so, he's very quick to jump to your defense, isn't he? Actions speak louder than words, you know.

[destructoplush]

Well... we're partners, I guess! Or we were... so I guess we both really took it to heart.

[leggierissimo]

It certainly seems that way. I suppose being partners extends on past the Game, hm?

[destructoplush]

I guess so! I mean it's not that surprising, right? It gets drilled in pretty hard!

[leggierissimo]

True enough. Your partner is really the only one you can trust.

[destructoplush]

... Say, what's your name?

[leggierissimo]

Kiryuu Yoshiya, though most people call me Joshua. That goes for Neku-kun, too, by the way.

[destructoplush]

Um, alright! How do you know Neku?

[leggierissimo]

I was his partner during his second week.

[destructoplush]

Oh! Haha, so you'd know, right? Well I hope you guys did okay together!

[leggierissimo]

Oh, of course. It was a blast.

[destructoplush]

Really? I wouldn't think of something like that as exactly fun...

But I'm glad you two got along! Neku can kinda take some time to warm up to people, [olol] but he's a good guy.

[endswith]

The game is a totally different thing. [kljasf Shiki why are you being stubborn about this. :|] I mean - I guess they're both games, but that doesn't matter.

[destructoplush]

[Because she's Shiki.]

Both games? What d'you mean? If it's a game at least you have, like, a goal, y'know? What are you playing for?

SOBBING I DIDN'Trealize.. wow.. how did I do that I am so sorry.

[endswith]

I don't know. We're playing to survive, I guess. Or just biding our time until we get out.

LMAO it happens to the best of us, don't wrry bby

[destructoplush]

... It's that bad there?

[endswith]

.. yeah. I was just ready to go back to normal life, you know? [Augh. He's just going to stare off instead of actually addressing her.] I was actually kind of looking forward to it.

[destructoplush]

Umm... I gotta ask you to fill me in, Neku. The last thing I remember, you were gonna have to play the game again!

[i_has_a_feather]

Well, doesn't someone sound cheerful.

[endswith]

Shut up, Josh.

[i_has_a_feather]

How about not? I don't take orders from you.

[endswith]

Look at it as a request, then.

[i_has_a_feather]

I'm not too keen on honoring those, either.

[endswith]

Yeah? I kind of picked up on that.

[i_has_a_feather]

Well, aren't you observant? And yet you left most of the work to me regardless...

[leggierissimo]

You're certainly a ray of sunshine today, Neku-kun.

[endswith]

-- and you can shut up, too.

[leggierissimo]

Oh? It sounds like you're pouting.

[endswith]

I don't pout.

[leggierissimo]

Well, you certainly are now.

[endswith]

[Do you want more rotten apples flung in your face, Josh. :|]

[leggierissimo]

[Oh, you mean the ones that still won't hit him? You're free to try~]
