Game 057 [Action]

(( Backdated to yesterday ))

[ Normally Joshua would poll the audience on his anniversary, but this year, he gets a bit distracted. You see, a collection of spray paints has shown up in the store, so Joshua is taking the opportunity to make off with all of them.

Or, trying to. His bag sort of breaks, so at some point between the store and 39 you might find a spray paint can rolling towards you with a Joshua chasing after it. ]

Grab that for me...!

[ Alternatively later in the day you can find him adding another mural to the back of his house to accompany the ones to either side. As it slowly takes shape it reveals itself as a cityscape, viewed from a very high angle.

Four years. What he wouldn't give to be home right now... ]

Do you want to?

[ DON'T BE SO SURE, SHINJI. Though admittedly Josh might not be the best person to learn from, in no way is that going to stop him from offering. ]

[Shinji shakes his head.]

I-I'll pass. [He almost leaves it at that, but then—] It's not that I haven't tried. It's just, uh... not really for me.

[Maybe the fact that he tried because Haruhi made him had something to do with it.]
neverplaysfair: (That was a nice distraction.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-10 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Did you accidentally paint your cat? Hee hee.
shinesbrightest: (simply nothing more to give)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-10 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
What? [He raises an eyebrow, frowning.] N-no, of course not! It is kind of messy, though. And when I tried, I didn't know what to paint.
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-10 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever comes to mind. Or if you're a sentimental sort, whatever's in your heart. Once you get started, it's easy to keep going.
shinesbrightest: (if we lose the fight)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-10 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh... He looks over at the painting again, a thoughtful look on his face.]

Then what's this? Sentimental, or just something that came to mind?
neverplaysfair: (Why show us what we can never reach?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-10 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
A little bit of homesickness.

[ Joshua turns back to his work and takes a step back to get a better view. ]

This is the city where I used to live. It was one of my favorite views.
shinesbrightest: (will soon take flight)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-10 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Shinji's eyes widen a little, as if the explanation suddenly gives the image a different meaning. He'd kind of had a feeling that it was meaningful somehow, but admitting that it was homesickness... Something like that wasn't usually easy, was it?]

It's so different from here. No wonder you miss it.
neverplaysfair: (Your timer must be nearly ticked out.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-12 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
From a few hundred thousand people to a few hundred. It was certainly a change. I've managed to keep the memory of it just fine, but for all the advantages of this place, I'd much rather be there than here.
shinesbrightest: (I've been a fool to myself)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-13 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Even if there are good things about this place, it's just not the same. [He could accept that now. No more unnecessarily conflicted feelings, at least for now.] But a view like that... I bet it would be pretty hard to forget, no matter what kinds of things happen here.
neverplaysfair: (Why show us what we can never reach?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-14 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. But time takes all memories eventually. It's just what we do about it that decides how quickly or slowly it happens.
shinesbrightest: (drifting further every day)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-14 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
It must be nice to have something like that, though. A sight you want to remember.
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-14 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have one, yourself?
shinesbrightest: (need the end to set me free)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-14 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. I've never cared about stuff like that. [He tilts his head slightly, thinking it over some more.] I mean, I guess I've seen some pretty incredible things, but nothing that I would want to remember forever.
neverplaysfair: (Your timer must be nearly ticked out.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-15 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
So what sort of thing would you like to remember forever?
shinesbrightest: (there is nothing more for me)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-16 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I'm not sure there is anything like that. I guess maybe there's more things I'd rather forget than remember.
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-18 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Is your life really so terrible?
shinesbrightest: (I've been a fool to myself)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-18 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[His answer to that was probably obvious, but he brushes it off anyway.]

I don't know. Maybe. I mean, I know that there are good things in it, but if those things disappeared, I think it would be fine. I could live with that.
neverplaysfair: (That was a nice distraction.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-22 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
So it's not so much your life being terrible as it is that you're a terribly apathetic person.
shinesbrightest: (and with me it will always be)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-23 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Could be. [If he were to think about it, he would decide that wasn't entirely accurate, but really, he didn't want to think about it too much. Thinking about himself wasn't ever particularly fun.] But it's always been that way. Or, well, it's been that way for a while.
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-25 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't that feel empty?
shinesbrightest: (need the end to set me free)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-26 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said, it's always been that way. [Kinda, mostly. He shrugs.] I don't know, I don't usually think about things like that. It's just the way things are.
neverplaysfair: (Your timer must be nearly ticked out.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-26 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to be happy?

[ Said without judgment. Not everyone does. ]
shinesbrightest: (getting lost within myself)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-26 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I could.

[He's not sure why he admits it. It wasn't like he cared about being judged or anything... Talking to him was just easy, somehow.]
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-27 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Could want happiness? Or could be happy?
