✗ ✗ ✗ [ Reduction 07; Video ] Backdated to mid-afternoon Sunday

[Hello, Adstringendum! Have a video feed of Joshua, laying on his stomach on his mattress. Beside him is a little bowl of dried apple slices, and in his hand is a rather trashy-looking romance novel. And apparently, he has no qualms about letting it be shown on the feed.]Well, whatever this event proves to be, it certainly is boring so far. I can

[You and your reading material, Josh.] Just don't let Skulls Jr. get her hands on this one.

Sounded ta me like they were doin' some kind of trade... not that they talked for long, more's the pity.

[video]

[leggierissimo]

As long as she stays out of my [read: Neku's] room, she'll be fine.

Whatever the trade is, they either haven't enacted it yet, or they've done it without our notice. You aren't missing any shoes, are you?

[video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Not even a missin' sock.

I'm thinkin' I might head out tomorrow, see if I find anything strange around the place... always better ta know, huh?

[video]

[leggierissimo]

Strange. Maybe it does have something to do with that old saying.

Be sure not to end up in a tree like last time.

[video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Yeah, yeah. I'll be careful.

[He shrugs, frowning.] If I had ta guess, I'd guess it has something to do with changin' our looks; but I'm not puttin' any money down on that.

They don't like bein' clear.

[video]

[leggierissimo]

That wouldn't surprise me. If they're changing our looks, it would almost have to be changing us into someone else, judging from what little they said about it.

But, at the same time, we could guess that and be completely wrong.

[greatcuppajoe]

I'm not gonna go gettin' attached to any single interpretation yet. Just puts ya off guard if you're wrong.

If past experience is any guide, we won't be able ta miss it.

[video]

[leggierissimo]

Unless they've altered our minds, anyway.

Did you speak with them?

[video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Briefly. Haven't quite got the hang of their conversation yet, sorry ta say.

[video]

[leggierissimo]

It's a bit scattered, but I don't find it difficult.

[video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Oh, understandin' isn't hard, it's guidin' them that's tricky.

[video]

[leggierissimo]

Like anything else, it just takes a bit of practice.

[video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Yeah, yeah.

So, you get anythin' useful out of them?

[video]

[leggierissimo]

They sound like they're looking to hire help.

[video]

[greatcuppajoe]

Do they! Well isn't that nice.

We oughta submit applications one a these days. How're ya feelin', J?

[video]

[leggierissimo]

Apparently, they have some nice benefits.

Much better now. But maybe we should wait to put in our applications until this week is over. I'd hate to disturb them while they're working.
