[He knew immediately that his powers had been cut. Flight, reality warping, even things as simple as ascension and mental blocks - gone. He had been searching through the journal to see if this was just him. Every page ended up being a pretty sore disappointment.]

... Tch. I don't like this.


[... he hadn't meant to say that. Expressing discomfort is weakness (unless khaki really does look painful on someone else, ew). No. He tries closing the journal.]

What. Stop that.

[...]

Of course the castle would inflict this on me someday.

[[ooc: loss start! also, as an addendum, he cannot filter unless someone else filters the conversation first, and he can't end a conversation unless the other person closes the journal. 8D]]

Huh? But... if you can use your powers, why wouldn't I be allowed to use Mr. Mew? ...I mean, I am back in this body and all. [She adds this last part on after a moment, almost like an afterthought, but significantly more bitter.]

Wow. So... [She gets a bit of a smirk to her demeanor.] I could ask you anything now, and you'd have to answer me, and truthfully?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

It's because I'm the Composer, and being as such gives me the privilege of moving in between the frequencies of reality as I please. I can use my powers in the UG here.

More or less. Ask away. [... almost sounds bored now. weeelp.]

[This sets off an explosion of questions in her mind, but she only asks the first one that comes to mind... first.] ...I thought you didn't remember being the Composer?

[She's only teasing- she'd had fun with Neku about your Partnership, about how much he dislikes Joshua and how maybe it means something *more*, so she's not really serious when she asks her question, with a grin. She still asks it though.]

So how do you really feel about Neku?

I was lying. Duh.

[.......... why would you even why would you even why would you even]

done!

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

He's the closest thing to a friend I've ever had. I find him valuable and special. Keeping him safe is among my highest priorities. [... very. audibly. pissed off.]

Time for a multipart of my own! 1/3

[She starts responding to his statement about lying about remembering being the Composer first.]

Huh? But... why would you li-

[...And then it sinks in what he just said about Neku.]

Done~

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

O-Oh... wow, I had... I had no idea.

I'm sorry, Joshua. I... no one has the right to ask you that, especially when you have to answer... I just... I'm sorry.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

... Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

No... I've been intrusive enough already.

[You can just feel the tsunamis of "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE I'M SO SORRY I'M SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON WAAAHHHH" coming off of her.]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

All right then. [:| shoo.]

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

[She's about to close the journal and run off, feeling awful, but... she has to check before she goes.]

Joshua... I really am sorry. I... you know that, right? Like, you can tell?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's anyone else in the castle who can make their feelings on a subject more blatantly obvious than when you put your mind to it, Shiki.

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

Alright... but are... [She takes a real pause before saying this next part. After all, ALL HER INSECURITIES. THEY ARE COMING OUT HERE. But... she has to know.] ...Are we okay? Like, you're not... that angry at me?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[sigh] In the broader scope of things, Shiki, I have bigger things to worry about than how I feel about you. Let's say the quo's going unchanged here, mm?

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

[Give her a moment, and then...]

Okay. Because I'd feel really awful if you... but you don't hate me, so okay.

Thank you, Joshua.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[.... ugh] If you're done?

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

O-Oh. Yeah, okay. I guess you can't end conversations too, huh? Well, anyway... yeah. 'Bye, Joshua.

[Oh hey, lookit Shiki, taking hints and everything! Even if she is very, very awkward about it. But she says that, and then closes the journal, ending conversation there. She still feels weird, but... she can deal, for now.]
