backdated to sunday afternoon

[kamenriderdeno]

[So, guess who else got stuck with Joshua for a few days?

You may also guess who had no issues with it whatsoever so didn't bother announcing it to everyone over the journals once he first showed up.

Around lunchtime though, the journal just decides to pick up on Ryotaro's voice at the oddest time.]

Ah, Joshua-san! Lunch is ready.

Comments

[ofhope]

[ Joshua's just been happy he finally got someone cooperative for once. Still, it's a complete stranger, so he can't be held responsible if he keeps forgetting their name, no matter how nice they are.

Especially when he's trying to entertain himself with a video game. This is the only way to keep from going absolutely bonkers over this dilemma. ]

But I only have three more laps to go.

[kamenriderdeno]

Well...I'll leave it on the table, just don't let it go cold.

[It's nothin' fancy, just a bowl of chicken soup with two breadrolls and a hot cup of tea on a tray, which he'll leave on said table.]

[ofhope]

[ Heheh, victory. He aces the racing laps, then turns off the video game and gets up to wander over. ]

Is there sugar in the tea?

[kamenriderdeno]

Oh! No, sorry, I forgot.

[He'll walk away for a second, root through a cabinet then return, placing a sugar bowl on the table with a spoon.]

There you go.

[ofhope]

Aren't you going to eat? You're not an actual maid.

[ Just someone for Joshua to consider as one in a crisis, for srs. ]

Dictated forever

[mal_addict]

[Wait. WAIT]

...Joshua? Blonde hair kid?

[kamenriderdeno]

Oh, I'm fine. Really, I had something already.

[lieslieslies anyway]

I'll just look forward to dinner all the more because of it.

[Then he'll start fixing himself a cup of coffee.]

If you need anything else, just let me know, okay?

[kamenriderdeno]

Uh...yes, that's right.

[ofhope]

Look forward to? Why, what are you making?

[kamenriderdeno]

Hm.

[He'll smile a little, looking back at Joshua.]

You'll see. I think...a surprise might nice, don't you think?

[Once he's finished, he'll return to the table and sit down at it, sighing a little, though it's a lighthearted once. He's actually enjoying your company quite a bit.

After a moment he'll a sip of his coffee, then lay his cup down on the table.]

Something a bit more grand than your lunch, in any case.

[ofhope]

Grand? Good thing I'm already dressed for it, then.

[ When one ignores all the wrinkles and undone tie. ]

You should race with me after.

[kamenriderdeno]

[It's funny because Ryotaro never dresses in anything other than a t-shirt and jeans, at best.]

Race? Oh, uh, no, I'm not very good at video games.

I don't think I've ever played one before actually.

[ofhope]

I didn't before coming here. But they're fun, and so realistic!

[kamenriderdeno]

Oh?

Well I guess I may as well give it a try. A lot of people did recommend them to me back home.

[mal_addict]

...You are aware that he's an escaped prisoner, right?

Ugh, just tell me where you are and I'll come get him.

[kamenriderdeno]

Oh...really? He doesn't seem dangerous...n-not that I doubt you or anything, don't get me wrong.

Eitherway it's room 2014, terrere tower. Just you might have a hard time trying. The door won't open.

[mal_addict]

Trust me, he's good at fooling people.

...What do you mean the door won't open? [She doesn't wait for a response, and just heads there anyway.

You'll have the BANG of something very solid hitting the door, guys]

What the balls?!!

[kamenriderdeno]

Well, see, I think this is a lo-

[BANG. He'll jump a little, looking over at the door, then hurry over to it and call from inside.

I think this is a l-loss!

[mal_addict]

Gods damn it!

[The door gets another thump]

Little snot-nosed punk, you can't avoid going back forever.

[ofhope]

[ He's just looking at the door while tearing off a piece of bread to eat. What's all the racket out there? ]

I was wondering when somebody would actually try to do something about it.

[ofhope]

Well, there are different kinds... What kind of books do you like? You'll probably like the same type of games.

[kamenriderdeno]

Nn...maybe...if you pick out something we can try what you like.

I don't mind...really!

[He doesn't read either. Sorry Joshua, he may be cooperative but he's also boring as fuck.]

[kamenriderdeno]

I-I'm very sorry about all this!

[Yeah he doesn't know why he's even apologizing to Maladict, natural reflex to everything mostly.

Turning back to Joshua though...]

Joshua-san...do you mind if I ask...well...

...what did you do?

[ofhope]

Some things this lady didn't approve of. But mostly I think she's just sore that she didn't even get the chance to fight before being left behind.

[ He calls out a little more loudly over his shoulder, ]

Something she'd see as a mercy if she stopped to think about it!

[ofhope]

Well I was playing a racing game so we'll just do that after.
