[OPEN] What a wonderful world such would be...

[nyantan]

Who: AU Shiki + YOU guest starring Joshua, Joshua, and Neku in closed threads
Where: Virgo + the kids apartments
Summary: Shiki's string has been unfortunately tangled with Joshua's, causing some rather drastic changes in her mentality and personality.
Warnings: Inevitable swearing at least


[OPEN]

Shiki can be found wandering aimlessly throughout Virgo district, face masked neutral and exuding an uncharacteristically closed and generally unapproachable demeanor. Her personality isn't the only thing off today, either; instead of her usual skirts and shorts and flowy layered tops, today Shiki is wearing black dress pants with a nicely fitted cut, and a light green button up dress skirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Instead of pinning her hair back, it's loose around her face, with her bangs swept to favor her right eye as if attempting to somewhat cover it. Her hands are stuffed in her pockets and her posture a little slouched as she generally tries to keep her face down as she moves about the district, as if trying to avoid eye contact and keep to herself. This is... certainly odd for the usually open and friendly girl. What in the world is her problem?

[CLOSED TO OU JOSHUA]

Sorry Joshua, but someone's gone and occupied one of your brooding spots, and it certainly isn't the other Joshua. Of all the people in Hinoto-Ri to be usurping on your turf it's actually Shiki, looking a little less than pleased as she observes the town below her from the top of 104. She had wanted to fly up here for a bit of respite, but no matter how hard she tried and concentrated, she could barely get her feet off of the ground, maybe a few inches if anything! Thus she had gone for a rather unpleasant walk up several flights of stairs to reach the top of the building and had settled down for a pout, hand cupping her chin and legs crossed and dangling off the side of the building into the open air. What a horrible place, constantly repressing her powers like this... it was bad enough she wasn't free to take on her real form, and now this!

[CLOSED TO AU NEKU AND AU JOSHUA]

Sorry Neku, your princess is in another castle. Knocking on that door just might not greet you with exactly the person you'd been hoping to find...

... Interesting. Joshua was up here for a solo think, but the opportunity to take his mind off of things with someone else's neuroses wasn't exactly unwelcome. At least, that was his thought before he saw exactly who the newcomer was. Ugh. Ugh. No, no, no. He's got half a mind to leave her to her own devices - anything to get away from that week - but then she'd get it into her head that this was her space, mm? The other Josh was welcome to it. This one didn't get an invitation.

So he'll snap his phone shut, the crack traveling through the air like a bullet, then stick it in his pocket as he saunters up, hand in his back pocket. "Terrible, isn't it?"

Ever since all of this had started, people have been acting... really weird. For Neku, everything seemed perfectly fine, but... the weirdest part of it was, he hadn't seen Shiki in a couple of days. And they usually saw each other every day. So, of course, this meant he needed to pay a visit.

He's totally knocking on that door. His other hand is kind of preoccupied with holding a box containing a couple sushi rolls. He figured it might be nice to have lunch or something.

Hey, it's one of those collared people. He does remember being interested in meeting them because they're clones, but thanks to his memories currently being a mess, he's not entirely sure if that's really by his own will or not anymore.

But, well. It can't hurt to chat up a cute girl, can it? Even if she does seem to be trying to make herself look as unapproachable as humanly possible.

"My, that's a sour look. Something got you down?"
