Week 1, Tuesday

[once the game is announced properly, Joshua decides giving Neku time to adjust to the setting and the people might be a good idea. Not to say he didn't keep an eye on his proxy-- if he's even his and not some alternate, but for the sake of keeping things in check he's assuming-- but he left him to his own devices for a bit. Now, though, he figures it's time to go ahead and "properly" ally himself with him.

(having to take a different approach to Neku is ... interesting and annoying at once, but he'll make do.)

so that's why he walks up to him in whichever secluded area he's currently occupying with this:]

Hello there, Neku. Could we talk?
