Game 036 [Action/Voice] - Once More With Feeling

[ If you happen to be celebrating the new year with some coffee or pastries or... whatever else Hanekoma feeds people at Kat's Kradle, then you might hear the sound of someone tuning a violin coming from the second story.

It starts off quite out of tune, but within a minute or two, it sounds fine. Then, Joshua starts up a piece of music: fast-paced, somewhat frantic, somewhat chaotic, without chorus or verse, but it has an overall feel to it of life, of progress, of change.

Or maybe you just missed the whole performance.

Either way, a little later, the following goes out over the journal. ]

Why do you want to go home? [ And then, after a short pause, ]

Why do you want to stay?

Do you think they would accept your disappearance so easily?

What kind of question is that? It's not about me -or my disappearance!- in the first place.

[filtered 100%] end. He lies to try to feel better about all of this. Denial, man. :I

And anyway, as long as they went on to live happy lives, I don't see the problem.

Removing yourself from their lives is the same as insisting they not be brought into yours.

[Deep down, he knows that. That's the point. It's a cowardly move, but at least they won't curse him for ruining their lives this way.]

[But he doesn't trust Joshua enough to confirm that. Swallowing his urge to disagree with the young man, he continues.]

Sounds like you know what you're talking about.
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Are you so sure?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2011-01-11 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it something you'd never thought of, or something you don't want to admit to yourself?

One of those options means you're running away.

Sometimes running away is the only thing you can do.

Are you justifying it now?

Re: [filtered 100%]

Justifying? I know it's impossible to justify it! [Tsuzuki is agitated, and a little caught off guard. He never talks about his issues with anyone else, and now Joshua's asking him questions as a form of free entertainment, it feels like. Tsuzuki shakes his head.]

We're not talking about this anymore.

[ It's hardly free entertainment, but Joshua can start charging for therapy services if Tsuzuki prefers. ]

Hmm, why not?

[filtered 100%]

[identity profile] purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com 2011-01-13 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[But Tsuzuki is broke and would have to pay him in cinnabuns.]

I'm not comfortable with the subject.

[Tsuzuki would bargain to be allowed to keep half. In either case, it's time to try even harder to distract the other man.]

What made you post this question today, Joshua? Is it getting close to an anniversary for you?
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Are you so sure?)

[filtered 100%]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2011-01-16 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Every day is an anniversary, and in the end, nothing makes any single day different from any other.

You're still running away from the issue.

Waking up to the same day forever sounds like hell to me. Life needs variation, otherwise you might as well be dead.

Yes, I know.

It's not the same day forever. There's just no point to anniversaries.

Why do you put so little value to your existence?

[filtered 100%]

[identity profile] purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com 2011-01-19 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there is. It's important to celebrate.

[This conversation is edging into a bad territory. Tsuzuki hopes that by giving Joshua a little truth, he might back down.]

Because I believe that in order to have value, your existence would have to benefit those around you. Ask my partner. He'll tell you that I'm a no good, terribly lazy worker with a huge debt.
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Are you so sure?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2011-01-19 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
And what about those makes your existence worthless?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

No good. Lazy worker. Huge debt. None of these make your existence worthless.

[Fine, he'll open up a bit more. Tsuzuki's having trouble putting words to why he feels the way he does.]

If I had worth to people, they wouldn't leave me like they do. The ones that stay end up getting hurt. That's my fault.

That got depressing. Let's talk about you instead, Joshua.
