tentatively voicetesting. x-posted to d_p. canon is gangsta.

[There is a smol child writing in the dirt, each stroke a deliberate, awkward thing. Some of the letters are backwards in the beginning, then frontways later on, and any letters previously correct flip to take their place! It's an awful game of somersaulting memory and poor spelling.]

WY AM I HEEЯ

messiahwithagun: (Blah blah blah part 2.)

Trust me. What you have is far more valuable.

Tell me, is your mun planning to send you to a game? Or are you doomed to an indefinite period of time in dear_mun purgatory?

[He tries to poke about for what the heckie "purgatory" means. He gets the general meaning, though.]

Dear_Mun. Stuck here. The only game he's been looking at involves dying and going to whatever's after that. Apparently a lot of community service. I wouldn't be a good fit.

What makes me valuable? [He's a Twilight, a tool to be used and tossed away. He wants to know what Josh thinks that word means.]
messiahwithagun: (Oh I can't help myself. You know that.)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-20 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
If you were in my shoes, you wouldn't have much need for this skill, anyway.

Being stuck here isn't that bad. It's far better than the alternative. Don't you agree?

I guess. [Still a kid.] It's no different than the last place, or the next. But I don't know what to do here. I always have orders.

[A pause, then he realizes with some awe--] I'm bored.
messiahwithagun: (Hufffff fine.)

[ A long, world-weary sigh. ]

Now THAT is something I can sympathize with. Museboxes are always a thing, at least. Though... I'm not entirely sure if encountering a friend from your canon series would be a blessing or a curse, given your situation.

[ Whether he's been reading your mind or listening in to the conversation below him is hard to determine. ]

Wallace. [The thought comes so fast that, if speaking didn't take such conscious effort, he would have accidentally said it aloud.] Wallace is my friend. I think. I want to see him.

[Images of a blond child his age springs to his mind--a rich kid with a bruised eye that matched Nic's at the time. A kid he's been assigned to as a body guard.]
messiahwithagun: (Not bad.)

Obscure canons can be difficult, but it could happen. Worse comes to worse, pop your head on here every now and then. Just in case. Plus, glass half full, even if he never shows up? By then, you'd've likely made a friend or two anyway. Even if it never comes to a game, it's better than raw monotony.

I don't know if I can make friends. Not on my own. Do you know how?
messiahwithagun: (Okay. I'll bite.)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-20 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you have to know how. Sometimes you can try rather pretty hard to be someone's friend, and they aren't interested. And other times, you can be a complete ass to try and get a potential friend off your back, and before you know it... They're the one that becomes your best friend.

[ Smol child please don't ask Yoshiya Fucking Kiryu how to friend, he's really really bad at it. ]

[Mulling that over, Nic grabs the knees of his crossed legs and leans to the side. Hmmm. He leans the other way. HMMM.

Note that the HMMMs are silent and implied.]

I think I get it. Anyone you don't kill or who doesn't want to kill you can be your friend.

[It is the blind leading the deaf.]
messiahwithagun: (A text? At a time like this?)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-20 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. That... Actually can depend very strongly on the game in question.
messiahwithagun: (Okay. I'll bite.)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-20 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
If you ever get into one, that is.
killsign: (And I thought that I might never)

[personal profile] killsign 2016-10-20 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [so easily fooled] OK. I'll try. I think . . . what makes Wallace my friend is that we both tried. And we were lonely. There are a lot of lonely people out there, probably.
messiahwithagun: (Oh I can't help myself. You know that.)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-20 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think more people are lonely than are willing to admit it, even to themselves. People can become friends for really bizarre reasons. I don't think you have to try so hard.

Even so, Nic, I do hope your friend shows up someday. Waiting for so long for an uncertainty can't be easy.
killsign: (And the choir sings hallelujah)

[personal profile] killsign 2016-10-21 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
I won't hope. [It's not despairing. Just a fact.] I can't afford to wait. But I will look.

. . . What was your name again?
messiahwithagun: (Buuut of course I'd NEVER do that...)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-21 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Joshua.

And to be honest, that's the suggestion I'd give. Personally, I wouldn't get your hopes up. But there's still no point in letting them die altogether. You really never know.

You never know . . . I'll post a lot, then. Will you be posting a lot, too?
messiahwithagun: (You sneaky thing.)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, not posting. Too much effort.

But I'll keep an eye out for you all the same.
killsign: (And I thought that I might never)

[personal profile] killsign 2016-10-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[the smolest suggestion of a smile]

Okay. I'll look for you, too.
messiahwithagun: (Not bad.)

[personal profile] messiahwithagun 2016-10-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Good. See you around~
