[ Echo echo echo… If it isn’t glaringly obvious, he seems to be having as much trouble with the voice function as everyone else is. There’s static, sudden EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs of high pitch, and all-in-all it sounds like bad frequency radio. ]

ACTION.

[ And of course Neku returns from checking up on the place just in time to bear witness to Joshua sitting alone in their pitch-black apartment, waving his NEXUS around and... playing music with the static. ... Of course that's what Joshua would decide to do after Neku leaves him alone for a few hours. Something annoying and pointless.

. . .

There's a pregnant pause as Neku stands there incredulously and watches his partner start in on the second verse of Greensleeves, and then the teenager sighs as he reaches up to pluck his Beacon out of the air and drop his bag with a whump. After braving the darkness and the storm, getting his face punched in, and dealing with all the other weirdos running around and enjoying themselves, he's too tired to bother with Christmas carols. So, instead of a biting comment, there's only -- ] You've got the wrong season.

[ -- And then he stumbles towards the bedroom, the Beacon and its light cradled securely in his arms. ]

[ And of course Joshua doesn't do more than throw Neku's moving shadow a passing glance. Of course he continues Greensleeving it along even as his partner makes a tired comment, and makes beeline for the bedroom. Naturally, Joshua follows along -- ]

Have I? You think Henry the Eighth is rolling in his grave?

[ ... The static sounds a bit like this now... ]

ACTION.

[ Neku only offers up a noncommittal grunt in response to Joshua's prodding -- there's a moment's pause as he debates whether or not he's too tired to drag all of his blankets back to the wall bed where he's been sleeping or just leave them on the larger bed that they shared when the power went out last night, and then... ugh. The power's still out, it's still freezing cold, and he doesn't feel like being woken up in the middle of the night to drag himself out of bed and repeat last night's performance. That's all.

So, without further ado, Neku kicks off his shoes and drops down onto the mattress in a heap of skin and bones and limbs akimbo. -- And then, since it's gonna be impossible to sleep with Joshua standing right there and trilling wobbly Christmas carols, the teenager reaches up, fumbles for one of the pillows, and chucks it in the general direction of Joshua's head. ] Go spread the Christmas cheer in the hall.

Last time I checked, neither were alarm clocks supposed to be pets.

What a conundrum.

I don't have an alarm clock for a pet.
