algagrass | event one | Happy St. Patrick's D-- wait what?

CHARACTERS: Any and all!
DATE: April 1st~7th
RATING: PG at the worst, I suppose!
SUMMARY: Perhaps it's an April Fool's joke-- surely Saint Patrick's Day has already passed. And yet clovers rain down and the fountains run green regardless. But it's a nice welcome to The World regardless, so enjoy it while it lasts!

There's gold banners strung from rooftop to rooftop, catching the light of the eternally-setting sun and reflecting it every which way. The ground's already covered in a generous amount of fallen shamrocks, with no end in sight. They're in your hair, on your clothes, in your food-- everywhere!

The main fountain (as well as the smaller second fountain in the alchemy district) is running with fizzing green soda, glass mugs lined up along the edges invitingly. New characters will receive one of two items-- in the first half of the week, they'll be awarded a limited edition golden weapon to suit their class, adorned in emeralds. In the latter half (for later applicants), they'll receive a leprechaun hat. The size is entirely up to the player, so it can range from a cute, small hat a la lolita style, or a big floppy hat, or a dapper silk top hat.

Have a look around, meet others, and enjoy the Irish foods offered for free at NPC shops to go with the soda. All items earned are to stay!

There's even a young silver-haired GM dolled up in green silks at the quest kiosk available for questions, although he doesn't look particularly friendly. His body language says to Stay Away, despite his location right in the upper left corner of the town center.

( ooc | Please remember to tag your characters properly, and have fun! )

So you were listening.

[ That just makes him slightly more on edge, his tone a bit sharper. He narrows his eyes, fists clenching again. ]

Why didn't you answer? Why didn't you meet up with us?

[Excuse him as he busies himself with the end of one of those tassels.]

I wasn't exactly counting on you wanting to see me again.

So you ignored me.

[ He scowls. A sigh. ]

--And stop that.

Did I say that?

[He's doing it again, just to spite you.]

I had a lot of work to get done.

Not enough time for even an acknowledgement? ... And I said stop that!

[ Oh jesus, that hat is the last straw. Excuse Neku as he reaches out to try and swat your hands away from the tassels, Josh. ]

I think you underestimate the amount of work there was, Neku-kun.

[... no, what are you doing. He's just going to step back one step there. Don't touch his hat~]

Why?

[ A glare, because his hand falls away before he can move that tassel. Okay, be difficult.

He's just going to stand here, arms folded. Not going to dignify Joshua's question with an answer, though. ]

Hello takes a second, asshole.

[Well, here he goes playing with one again. Oh yes, he's being incredibly difficult~

But the entire time he's playing with that tassel, he's silent, looking up at the sky just over Neku's head.]

I still wasn't expecting you to want to see me again.

[ Neku's eye is maybe twitching at that stupid tassel, but the other's words are kind of reducing the burning rage. Ugh, Josh, don't make this awkward. ]

No shit, Sherlock.

[He spots that look, and it makes him smirk. But he does stop playing with the tassel, at least.]

Besides, you were having so much fun with your friends. Who was I to ruin that, hm?

I invited you.

[ He huffs some, because don't turn this around on him, Mister. Another softer glare and he looks off to the right. ]

I haven't forgiven you yet, by the way.

You may have, but they didn't.

[He shifts the sleight weight of the Grimoire, tossing that tassel behind his shoulder.]

I know. I heard.

Then you could have just talked to me some other time.

[ He shakes his head. ]

Yeah, but you're still my friend. .....Even if I want to punch your lights out. [ He may have gotten the slight tendency of violence from Beat, but hey, man. ] Now let's get going before we end up standing here all day arguing.

I'm talking to you now, aren't I?

[He shrugs a little. Really, Neku, you're getting decent at perplexing him. You must have picked that one up from him, hm? Or maybe it's because he hasn't been able to read your mind.]

If you say so, partner.

[ Probably a bit of both. And the fact he's inwardly torn between talking to a friend and then remembering hey, it's the bastard that killed him and still hasn't apologized. :| ]

Talking to me now doesn't count. This is a completely different situation, Josh...

Well, goodness. Forgive my manners. As soon as we get out of here, that's top on my priority list.

[... sarcasm, yes. That is sarcasm. Maybe a bit, anyway. An invitation to follow Neku around again... well, it's hard to pass up. It had been fun.]

I'm sure.

[ He really wishes he had his old clothes because he'd be shifting into his collar right now. Gdamnit, Joshua. ]

Don't believe me? I'm hurt.

[Aww, getting homesick already, Neku? It's only been... what, an hour?]

[ Shibuya has all his feels, Joshua? Why wouldn't he miss it. Hufffff. ]

I'll believe it when I see it. [ He tosses a casual glance back at him. ] It's hard to tell when you're being serious or not.

Maybe you should pay a bit more attention, then.

[But even then, it's going to be hard~ Best be on top of your game, Neku.]

[ LORD HELP HIM.... ]

Or maybe you should be more straightforward. [ Because he's totally not going to take advice from a prissy kid / Composer / jerk whatever else you are :c ]

[Dead kid? You forgot dead kid. Kind of have to be dead to be the Composer.]

It's more fun this way.

[ Dead and apparently insufferable, amirit? ]

...Idiot. [ He's resisting the urge to facepalm. ] Just watch your mouth here, okay?

[Aww, you flatter him.]

Oh? Worried about me, Neku-kun?

No, I'm worried about myself. I don't need someone taking something you say the wrong way and getting on our bad side. [ because geez, that'd be a hassle and despite having these nifty blades...! He isn't quite sure he wants to use them against someone else ]
