[Hello, Ira Tower. Joshua's standing in the hall in front of room 2118, fiddling around with his tacky orange cellphone without much fervor. He seems to be waiting for someone, presumably the resident of room 2118, presumably one Sanae Hanekoma. He doesn't seem very happy, but he doesn't seem angry either. On closer inspection, he might look... nervous? He's a little tetchy right now. Approach at your own risk.]

[don't ask what he's doing here - Neku's just taking his time exploring the castle. he sees Josh and watches him for a while, pondering over whether he should talk to him and ruin the rest of his day. what, he still has that phone?]

Hey.

late reply dfskjlfldjs

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[Yes he does. It's an awesome phone. It gets signals like you wouldn't believe.]

[He looks up... then looks back down. And waves Neku off, very much like a small fly.] Not now. I'm busy.

asdffkgglk SORRY OTL *fail*

[he frowns. bad mood + Joshua is a rare combination... and is that Mr. Hanekoma's room?... huh.]

[he points at the phone] Well yeah, that's obvious.

HAHAHA no worries! It's all good.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[He's still... absorbed in his phone.] I should hope so. Do you mind?

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[hmmm. he stares for a while.]

Actually, I do.

[payback time~]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[Mmhm, mmhm, yes, I'm listening.]

That's nice. Really.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[sigh] What's up with you today? [Neku's starting to feel awkward but he'll persist!]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

That's an excellent question. [... This is said in a rhetorical way. =| Not teasing at all. what.]

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[okay. creeped out? yes.]

... you seem... nervous.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Do I? [He pauses, and looks up at Neku. And smirks.] How terrible.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

... yes, it is, considering it's you. [pesky Neku with girl hormones, welcome~]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Are you concerned, now? What a difference. I feel like a new person.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

Interested is more the word. [he looks at the nameplate again] Hmm. [is it safe to get involved with these two, together?... no.]

[Hanekoma's coming home from work, and not paying particular attention to where he's going. It's the standard long walk up the stiars, and he wishes for a moment that it wouldn't be revealing too much to just fly into the window some time. Anyway, he doesn't spot Joshua until he's already out of the stair well and halfway to the door. When he does though, he sighs. That didn't take long.]

You lookin' for somebody?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Looking and waiting are two different things, Mr. H. [... offhandedly:] You were supposed to be here an hour and a half ago.

[cheapcuppajava.livejournal.com]

You've got my schedule memorized? That's a little stalker-ish, y'know.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[A smirk.] I care. Isn't it obvious?

[cheapcuppajava.livejournal.com]

Not really. [Opens his door, and gestures for Josh to go ahead of him.] I could easily think that you don't give a hoot about much of anything.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

I feel terribly misunderstood now, Mr. H. [He walks in and sits on the closest bit of furniture to the door, whatever it may be.] I say it all the time, and not one person seems to believe me.

[cheapcuppajava.livejournal.com]

I wonder why. [Absent-mindedly mutters, checking his shirt for any stray flour.]

Did you think at all, or have you just decided to pretend what happened last time isn't important?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. [Joshua... is very visibly not making eye contact.] Don't I think? I like to think I do.

[cheapcuppajava.livejournal.com]

[Feels kind of like he kicked a puppy. A very evil puppy in some ways, but still... his evil puppy. Seeing Joshua acting unsure, even in such a slight way, makes him almost regret upsetting him in the first place.]

You don't think about some of the most important things. And that's why I was mad at you.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

What are the important things, Sanae? I mostly think about my games. [His face is very perfectly Composed.] I play roulette mostly, these days, but I mostly specialize in Keep Away. [An eyebrow raises.] And Mother May I, of course.

[cheapcuppajava.livejournal.com]

We discussed this already. Now I've had a long day and I'm tired, so if you have something to say you should say it now.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

... I propose a truce.
