Game 033 [Action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ You know what is not cool? Falling asleep at the end of a very productive day of a very productive Game, and rather than waking up the next day in the same Game, suddenly waking up in front of a half-painted canvas. The mural featuring his own Reaper wing as the center point on the nearby wall didn't make things much better. Suspicious? Just a

[Well if Joshua is out roaming around Luceti then Neku comes across him eventually. It's snowing out and snow is kind of cool so Neku was just about wandering, and he might as well go say hi to Joshua there.]

Hey.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua turns at the sound of the voice and spotting Neku, gives him a good look over. Nope. Zero recognition. He smirks anyway. ]

Mmm, hello there.

[soundfrequency]

[Neku suspects nothing so far.]

Doing any better?

[neverplaysfair]

[ Ah, the curse of being stuck in his adult body before this happened... ]

Better than when, exactly?

[soundfrequency]

Mr. H said-er.

[Neku is eying those wings now. Oh, and don't mind the thought bubbles.]

(What's with the Reaper wings.)

[neverplaysfair]

[ Mind them like this, you mean? ]

Ah, so you know of them? [ The Reaper wings on his back flex, displaying the rather intricate pattern adorning them. ] Hee hee. So, tell me. What does that make you in our little Game?

[soundfrequency]

[Damn thought bubbles. Neku already knew about them, but they're still annoying.]

(What the hell?) What are you talking about?

[neverplaysfair]

You don't, then? [ Moving closer and inspecting that thought bubble now. Curious. ] And here I'd think that if you knew the word "Reaper", you'd at least warrant some sort of mention. [ He giggles. ] Do you have any sort of control over this?

[soundfrequency]

(Did you blow a gasket or something.)

Obviously I don't. ...er, don't you remember me?

[neverplaysfair]

Should I?

[soundfrequency]

Yeah, you should. I know about the Game because I was a Player once.

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... Nope, still not ringing any bells. ]

And you were in Yoshiwara?

[soundfrequency]

(...wait. Wasn't the Yoshiwara district a really long time ago?)

Er, no. Are you... a Reaper?

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua's eyes flick to the thought bubble for only a moment. ]

No, I'm just wearing these because I thought they complimented the rainbow rather nicely.

[soundfrequency]

(Ugh.)

Just wanted confirmation. I think I get what's going on.

[neverplaysfair]

Do tell.
