[Despite the fact it's overcast today Neku is out on the porch of All Passions in the town square vandalizing the flower pots. Well okay, he's not really vandalizing them but he is painting them with spray paint, like Shiki asked him to do. He's just now getting around to it, but mostly because he needs a distraction and it's to make up for the

[Mayoi will be walking through the town square, when she sees vandalism in progress. Luceti really needs a police force or something]

Hey - you can't do that! [she goes over and starts pulling on his hoodie shirt thing.] If you want to make flower pots pretty then get your own and vandalize them!

[soundfrequency]

Wha- [That startles him, and he even might have just flailed a little. But he stops painting and looks back at her, confused.]

Uh.

[action]

[chronica]

[at least she made him stop] Why are you spray painting the pots? I don't know if Luceti has any laws about vandalism, but even so you can't just go spray painting places!

[action]

[soundfrequency]

They're just pots.

[Shiki's inside being a ceiling cat watching Neku from behind her counter. As far as she's concerned, he's been acting really weird lately and that just doesn't sit well with her. She leaves him alone for another ten minutes or so before she gets up with Mr. Mew, heading outside of the shop and down the steps, wordlessly grabbing his hand that's not holding spray paint and tugging on it a little to get his attention.]

[Neku doesn't even have to look to knows who it is. He stops the pressure on the tip of the spray can but doesn't look at her, doesn't speak. He doesn't know what to say. She's probably been worried.]

[so_shik]

[This is worse than she thought. She's still tugging on his hand then, pulling him forward to try and lead him inside. Yes, yes, the flower pots look nice but they can wait.]

[He really doesn't want to go, just wants to keep distracting himself, but he drops the can and goes with her anyway.]

[god_is_a_dude]

[Oh. Oh hi-] Oi, Porcupine. [He hasn't seen you in a few days bro and now he's out for a stroll and now he sees you? What gives man?]

[soundfrequency]

[He pauses what he's doing long enough to give Haruki a "what?" glance and that's it, then goes back to painting. He's listening, though.]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Glare-] Did you die in the last few days or something?

[soundfrequency]

No.

[Paintinggggg okay no, he's stopping. There's no way he can concentrate on this right now. But he doesn't turn to look at Haruki or anything.]

[tangento]

[Oh hello there Neku! If you can hear the sound of static crackling, that means someone has just teleported right behind you.]

[soundfrequency]

[He hears it and pauses, just glancing behind his shoulder-oh hell. He jerks back, trying to get some distance between them.]

[tangento]

[And he immediately lunges forward, grabbing for the spraypaint can.]

[soundfrequency]

[When Minamimoto lunges Neku can't help but flinch, easily letting the can go. It's all yours man.]

[flower_of_hell]

[Neku you silly boy. Rena has been worried about you and your angsting, disappearing self. Therefore, she is out SEARCHING FOR YOU. And look she even brought a box lunch. You are far too skinny for your own good and starving yourself helps no one. :|]

[soundfrequency]

[He probably needs the food too because he hasn't really been eating in the last few days either. :( But he's still just focusing on his painting here, too distracted by things to hear if she comes up behind him.]

[flower_of_hell]

[:( She'll pipe up after a minute, her voice soft and gentle]

...Neku-kun.

[soundfrequency]

[That gets his attention. There's no way he can just ignore her either like he can with some people, so he stops what he was doing and glances back at her.]

...hey, Rena.
