[oh this is just a little laughing at your expense.]

Haha, great! I figured it was just a matter of time, but that was less of a wait than I'd expected.

Not a bad underscore, either. It looks like those outposts didn't fare so well...

[ Halo thar, vampire troll, long time no see! Joshua's totally flying over, since at least at the moment, he has nowhere better to go. He doesn't plan on sticking around, since once everybody realizes what actually happened, they'd no doubt look for him at all of his previous habitats.

Doesn't mean he can't (literally) drop by to say hi, though! ...And maybe for supplies. So he's going to be looking to land near the door, when he sees Zelman...conveniently on the roof.

Guessing at what he's there for, Joshua glances over his shoulder in the direction of the smoke before landing on the roof nearby. He won't say anything yet, though, waiting for Zelman to close that journal first.

...Unless he wants to be a double douche and give away Joshua's location. B( ]

[he could. but that would be giving people he doesn't like something for free, and that just sounds like a boring plan with poor pay-off.

so he'll shut his journal. start talking. B)]

( action ) FOREVER TO HUMOR THE LAZY HOBO IN ME

[fastest]

[ With a little smile at that, he'll move closer. Wings are still there, for a quick get-away. Gotta be prepaaaared. Speaking of! ]

They're going to think I had a hand in it. I may need some supplies. You're feeling generous, right?

I SUPPOSE I CAN DO THAT, GOSH

[exanimatus]

[he's just standing around like usual, one hand tucked in his pocket and the other making sure the journal doesn't sneak open like it enjoys doing.]

Am I? I have to wonder... [and smirking. always smirking.] I would get very little out of it, whereas the alternative could get me a lot.

How did you get out?

[fastest]

[ He doesn't seem that worried by the threat. He's busy trying to think of back-ups for back-ups. It's not easy! Joshua's not stupid by any stretch of the imagination, but he has sort of relied on other people to take care of him up until now. ]

That's actually an interesting story. Trade?

[ Because it's not like Zelman is going to be able to get the full story from anybody else any time soon. ]

[exanimatus]

[exactly. there's very little he loves more in life than dangling information in front of people's noses.]

Trade.

[fastest]

[ Zelman you are soooo predictable. It really cheers him up! Even if you're a douche who kicked him out. ]

Can I have some cocoa first? It's chilly.

They're going to concentrate on putting out the fires before they start seriously looking for me, and no doubt they'll check Riful's old manor first. [ WE GOT A FEW MINUTES AT LEAST BEFORE I GOTTA AM-SCRAY. ]

[exanimatus]

[if predictability gets him what he wants--why fix what isn't broken?]

Don't push it. We'll see what's down there.

[and then he just... jumps off the roof. he's going in through the door proper.]

[fastest]

[ Pouty face, because some other things never change too. Still, he'll move to follow, though with his wings it's maybe a second slower. They'll be gone by the time he enters, glancing around.

...God, the couches. ]

How's Langley?

[ Not that he really cares that much. Joshua can read the journal, he knows she's as snarky as ever. He just wants to make sure she won't overhear, because he definitely believes she'd turn him in just to be a brat. ]

[exanimatus]

[you missed them, admit it. they have a strange and poorly-chosen place in your heart. he will lead on to the kitchen, even though Joshua already knows where they are.]

Around. More or less occupied.

[at least, he hopes so. :|a he'll he keeping a metaphorical eye out for her all while Joshua is here.]

[fastest]

[ That seems to satisfy him, but he waits until they reach the kitchen before talking again. After all, the acoustics for the halls can be pretty epic, and that's not his aim right now. ]

Well, I'm sure you already heard all the warnings about traitors in the castle. Turns out they were true. You even know one of them.

[exanimatus]

[he makes sure that the doors are closed behind him. before chuckling, of course.]

So I've noticed. I'm impressed.

[fastest]

Do you remember that girl you had chained up here for awhile? The inappropriate one.

[exanimatus]

[the one that's mysteriously not on his radar anymore?]

Of course.

[fastest]

Turns out we were friends and I didn't even know it! But I could tell she was sneaky. You only hang out around sneaky people.

[ Except for Asuka, really, the funtastic exception to everythiiiing. ]

She invited me to go with them. I wish I could. I think it would be so much more fun...out there.

[exanimatus]

Hm. [oooh that all fills him with feelings. annoyed feelings. not that is shows.]

I'm curious to see if she bothers to write. Sneaky as she is, I wouldn't put it past her to gloat a little.
