...It's even more quiet now.

[ Maybe time for Neku to panic. For Josh, he's not even worried. The alarms in the doorway mean that someone just happened to wander in, after all. No teleporting. Not Sanae, and not Sho.

So he takes his sweet time leaving his room, out into the main area, to see... ]

There's a lovely thing known as "knocking", Neku. You should try it sometime.

[soundfrequency]

[You know, if he wasn't already froze in place Neku would have froze at Joshua appearing. Damnit. Well, this is going rather well.]

...this seemed like the better option at the time.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Just giving an unamused look to the boy stuck in his entryway. He isn't going to just let you free that easily. Not because Josh thinks you're going to pull something, but because you broke into his home, what B| At least Sanae always leaves his front door unlocked, that totally makes it more excusable ]

A better option, hmm? Well, do tell what exactly you were hoping to accomplish with this.

[soundfrequency]

Just give me Mr. H's paint. That's all I want.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua almost sighs. Why are those paints suddenly so much more trouble than they're worth? ] You could have asked, you know.

[soundfrequency]

...

Let me go.

[neverplaysfair]

What do you plan to do when I do?

[soundfrequency]

Uh, leave? After you give me the paint.

[neverplaysfair]

[ There's a moment of silence, then, ]

Just checking. Hee hee.

[ And without doing anything about the traps, Joshua turns and starts walking back farther in to his home. ]

[soundfrequency]

[Mentally flailing since he can't do it physically.]

H-hey! Where the hell are you going!?

[neverplaysfair]

I'm getting the paint. [ Enjoy staying stuck a little longer~ ]

[soundfrequency]

[Neku is growling. YOU BASTARD.]

Joshua.

[neverplaysfair]

It's what you came here for, right?

[soundfrequency]

You could let me go first.

[neverplaysfair]

I could. [ And as he's about to go into one of the rooms, he pauses. ]

Don't go anywhere.

[ And he puts a hand to the wall and twists. Suddenly some of the designs shift and move, rearranging themselves on the walls around Neku. Movement lock, gone. ]

[soundfrequency]

[Sighs in relief. Not being able to move sucks. Neku's not going anywhere either, but is that... some of Mr. H's artwork there? Neku isn't sure if it's a good idea to step further inside but he's going to anyway, being drawn over to that wall. How could you deface Mr. H's work, dude.]
