ceiling_cat...Well, now, that's funny.
I could've sworn I was back in Shibuya for a couple seconds there. Guess my mind was playin' tricks on me. That lovely lakeshore sure isn't anything I'd expect in Tokyo.
Sure isn't anything I'd expect in my apartment, either, and I recognize this little note they left me.
Hey there, Discedo.
Lemme guess - it's been a while?
I'd appreciate somebody fillin' me in while I make my way back to less soggy ground. Just how long has it been? Seems a bit colder than the last time I was here.
By the way, if anyone listenin' to this thing has a hand on the controls of whatever you use to drag us here, leave me a bit longer next time, won't ya? I could've grabbed a bag of beans.

Date: 2009-12-29 11:24 am (UTC)Guess not.
[He leaned back, crossing his arms, and considered asking what had really been bothering him for a while.]
...Do you think it's going to happen again?

Ya know, Neku, the district reflects the Composer. Shibuya was goin' downhill a month ago back home - stagnating, bad enough that Josh thought destroying it would be better than letting it fall apart.
After the Game, it was the best possible Shibuya that could be.
Can't say if it'll happen again. But the odds are pretty low.
[And he would be alert to it if things threatened to deteriorate again.]

Date: 2009-12-29 11:41 am (UTC)[Muttering.] If you say so. [It was still hard to believe that Joshua could have changed that much. Especially because of...]
Josh didn't seem as confident. It came up a while back. He didn't seem convinced that anything had changed.

Date: 2009-12-29 11:44 am (UTC)[Joshua had said that? The trade secrets were sounding less and less important by comparison. Who would've thought?]
[Well, he'd had a hunch, but he hadn't had faith in it.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-12-29 11:48 am (UTC)[If it happened again, would he know? Could he stop it? Probably not, and that was the scary part. And if Mr. H had to stop it, Joshua would probably end up dead.]

Date: 2009-12-29 11:53 am (UTC)...You have a place to stay?
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-12-29 11:55 am (UTC)[He glanced thoughtfully at the door.] Anyplace empty on this hall? Not that I mind walkin', but it'd be convenient.

Date: 2009-12-29 12:01 pm (UTC)[He paused, glancing over at the boy again. Neku looked calmer; but....]
Anythin' else you wanted to ask me?
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-12-29 12:05 pm (UTC)[Neku got up off the couch and slid his headphones down around his neck.] ...I saved some of your stuff. If you want it. Pi-Face took the paints before I could head back down there, though. [Since the whole Joshua thing chose that moment to happen. Great timing there, Josh.]

Date: 2009-12-29 12:10 pm (UTC)[He heaved himself to his feet, then paused. One more thing to say before he let the subject go.]
Don't talk about the Angel thing over the communicators, Neku. That information is strictly limited to Composer rank and above.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-12-29 12:14 pm (UTC)[Neku moved over toward his room.] I got whatever paintings I could find. I think Joshua just stole your food.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-12-29 12:18 pm (UTC)[He shrugged away the serious moment, grinning again.]
If it's just paintings, keep 'em, Phones. I can't do much with those with no supplies.

Date: 2009-12-29 12:25 pm (UTC)I'll be careful not to say anything over the communicators.

Date: 2009-12-29 12:30 pm (UTC)So, 412, was it?
[He turned towards the door.] See ya around.
