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?

People will see and believe what they want to. That only becomes truer when you take into account their personal biases. Pair that with life and death... [well. he waves it off.] But who knows. Maybe you're right and I'll be pleasantly surprised this weekend. [but he wasn't!!! ha ha!!! backthreading.] Though I didn't take you to want to be an advocate for the people.

Look, I hate people too, but I'm not saying we should just kill for dumb or messed up reasons either.

(That's taking it too far, even for me... I'm not the greatest person, but I like to think I learned THAT lesson before I got pulled out of Shibuya.)

I'm not advocating for it. ["shibuya is the worst" and "i am picking you to win a bet for me" are both valid reasons? come on. also he just meant. people in general. not himself] But when it comes to people, I've learned to keep my expectations low.
