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... ]

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?
shinesbrightest: (I've been a fool to myself)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-29 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe both. But I'm fine with that.

[Liar!]
neverplaysfair: (That was a nice distraction.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-29 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Only a maybe? Maybe you don't know yourself as well as you should before you can say a thing like that.
shinesbrightest: (will soon take flight)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-29 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that's possible... [He hadn't thought of things that way before, but when he continues, he sounds vaguely amused.] But I don't think I'd want to know myself any better. If I was someone else, I wouldn't want to get to know me at all.
neverplaysfair: (Your timer must be nearly ticked out.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2013-12-30 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
But you're not someone else. You're you. How would you expect to understand anyone else if you don't even have a point of comparison?
shinesbrightest: (need the end to set me free)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2013-12-31 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Shinji tilts his head.]

I guess that's true. I never thought I was good at understanding other people, either.

[But he also wasn't sure that he wanted to be.]
shinesbrightest: (if we lose the fight)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2014-01-01 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, yeah. Kinda.

[He wasn't exactly invested in it, but lately, he'd certainly tried a little harder.]
neverplaysfair: (Your timer must be nearly ticked out.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2014-01-02 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
And do you want to be better at it?
shinesbrightest: (getting lost within myself)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2014-01-03 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, a little. But I mean, it's not like there's any rush as long as I'm stuck here.

[He had plenty of time to figure it out! ...if he really wanted to, anyway.]
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2014-01-05 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Then maybe you should start to figure out yourself, first. You're the only one who can ever truly understand you.
shinesbrightest: (will soon take flight)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2014-01-05 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
How are you supposed to do that?
neverplaysfair: (Your timer must be nearly ticked out.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2014-01-06 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
A good place to start is trying to identify your own feelings. What you want or don't want. Why. Things like that.
shinesbrightest: (I've been a fool to myself)

[personal profile] shinesbrightest 2014-01-07 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I guess that would be a good place to start.

[Shinji's still not sure that's something he would want to do, but you know. It was something to think about. He looks back up at the side of the building.]

How long do you think it'll take to finish this?
