[Finally all his work is done so he's starting off by just leaving a present by the door of Josh's room cause no way he's giving it to him in person, I mean really. There's a tag that says;
'To Josh
From Neku
Merry Christmas bastard'

Yup... Anyway, inside is two things. One is a book titled 'Love; For Idiots' which was pretty much just as a joke cause ffff he still remembers that conversation and still thinks it's hilarious.

There's also a graffiti painting of his own original work since, like with the others, he didn't know what else to give.]

[ And Joshua kind of just has that surprised look on his face. You know, the one that happened where Megumi was about to 'fuse' with him. Yeah, that face. Though looking at the title of the book, there's a look between a scowl and a smirk as he resists the urge to tighten his fist around it and squish it -- Oh Neku, your unique sense of humor ...

But the latter gift makes the Composer crack the smallest of smiles. Just like his Producer, his proxy has an affinity for these types of designs. It's almost a bit of Shibuya, crammed into a painting. A painting by Neku, more precisely

And now, lazily leaning against the door frame of his room, he's calling you, Neku. Because your gift, dear, needs to be in person. ]

[Neku had just been sitting in his room listening to music when the Dreamberry started ringing so he picked it up after putting his headphones around his neck. He may or may not have a bad feeling about who was calling.]

Yeah?

[componere]

[ There's a deliberate pause, as if to build up suspense. Because clearly that's what Joshua is best at. Considering he's in slight better spirits, and because the opportunity to torment Neku is always far too good to pass up, ]

Tell me, Neku, what are you wearing? [ Because that was his way of saying, 'Hello, it's Josh' ]

Action

[ifeelsoepic]

[So, he just got off the Dreamberry with Naoya and since it's still fresh in his mind, why not bug Josh about it? He will be going up to his door and knocking now]

[componere]

[ He was just, you know, reading something or another when he heard the knock. Pfft. Glancing up and then back down to the book-- sheet music, actually. ]

The door's unlocked, Neku.

[ifeelsoepic]

[Just going to open it then and stand in the doorway]

Hey, I got a quick question for you.

action

[componere]

And I may have an answer~

[ Faint smirk ]

What is it?

[unstinted]

[Well, this was coming sooner or later. After Beat invited Neku to stay with them, Rhyme was worried about how Josh was handling it. It's only common courtesy, since she knows she'd like a heads-up if Beat was staying somewhere else for a while.]

Hi, Joshua. It's Rhyme. I know things are a little shaky at the moment, so Neku's going to be staying with Beat and I for a while. He just needs some space and time, that's all.

I hope you're holding up okay, too. Feel free to call us if you need anything!

Hi Joshua. It's Shiki. I just wanted you to know that you don't have to worry about Kotone for tonight. I promise she's not going to go hungry or die of boredom. She's playing with a yarn ball I got for her as we speak.

[A meow can be heard followed by some giggling from Shiki. It looks like she's playing with the kitten right now while sending the voicemail.]

Oh! And I think there's something on your doorstep.

[You can practically hear her smiling from the other line. |D Fresh hot chocolate straight from the thermos and the note's still there.]

Well, that's it. Hmmn, I'll talk to you soon, okay?

Bye.

[Click.]

IC -- few hours later, that evening

[componere]

[ There's silence on the end before the audio eventually kicks in ]

Hn... thank you, then, Shiki.

IC

[gimme_ur_pants]

You're welcome.

Ah, you don't have to worry about returning the mug. It's okay, really.

[Audio]

[un_forgetting]

Yoshiya, I have a...favor to ask.

[audio]

[componere]

...Hm? And that would be?

[audio]

[un_forgetting]

Keep an eye on my brother should something happen, hmm? He needs such looking after.

[audio]

[componere]

... 'Something happen'? That sounds oddly specific, Naoya.
