[Josuke's first strictly text broadcast to the network. The occasion? Well, if he's honest, human hearts weren't meant for tug-of-wars and Josuke's is exhausted from the seemingly endless pull on his at the moment. Things are much simpler if people can't see or hear his distress.

Never mind that it might be identifiable to those who know already his texting patterns, which are markedly...different from what follows on screen a moment later. For one, he rarely uses caps, and for another, the number of abbreviations that would appear if he were feeling better would be too numerous to count.]

For those who're interested, PAINTBALL is still on for tomorrow. So pay attention if you wanna play! This is what you need to know.

1. You need to be in Maurtia Falls by 7 PM at a place called All Star Parking - it's an out-of-use parking garage near the east end of town that you can't miss.


2. The game is played solo, in pairs, or in teams - it's up to you. Just remember, there'll be only one winner by the end of it.


3. Hisoka (my partner) and I got some protective gear for you, but it's first come-first serve, so you might wanna bring your own padding if you don't wanna get a little banged up.


4. Powers are allowed, but anyone caught pulling lethal stunts is gonna need a ride straight to the emergency room when I'm finished with them...I guarantee that.


5. It's 1 round played until there's only 1 person left 'standing'. You're out if you get shot 3 times - which should still be a challenge 'cause of peoples' powers.


6. Sorry, there's no prize, just the glory - but that's all a real champ needs, right?

I guess that's about it. If you're a new face around these parts and you're feeling up to playing hard with the big boys, you're more than welcome to join in. Don't expect anybody to go easy on you, though.

[In any case, that's appears to be all he has to say today about...well, anything. There's nothing to signify he's been following the network posts (even though he has been) or that he cares what's going on (he does) and that he's bothered by certain events (an understatement). In sum, his post might as well read: IT'S PLAYTIME BITCHES, GET YOUR GAME FACE ON AND PREPARE TO LOSE! ...even if he feels a lot more like calling the whole thing off and calling up his biffle for a cheesy movie night.]

ok maybe that makes sense if u have any idea how to japanese which i dont BUT STILL, seems like a reach

[unbreaker]

even if u know japanese it's a bit of a reach, i mean...it's not like anyone actually calls me that anyway.

people just call me josuke.

[...]

hey, so how do you know joseph?

[heavyhitter]

josuke it is

oh, we were friends then i flirted with his grandpa and pissed him off and now were not, u know how it goes

[unbreaker]

huh? why would he get mad if you were flirting with jonathan?

[heavyhitter]

eh
it sounds casual when i say it like that but actually im fucking sad about it, so maybe ill tell u more later

[unbreaker]

[?????????]

yeah, sure, no problem.

[This sounds...complicated. He's not sure he wants in on complicated right now, but also...he's not sure he can turn his back on it, either. It's in his name, after all. He's a 'helpful' sort of person. When he's not taking after his dad and being a dick, that is.

So if she wants to talk sometime? Okay. He'll talk. Or listen. Or whatever.]

you know how to reach me.

[heavyhitter]

[ she is super not getting into this if she can help it, she just loathes being cagey about stuff and wasn't going to not answer. it makes things look too dramatic. so, happily, she takes the chance to switch gears immediately back into Fun Things again. ]

yeah, with a paintball gun and a pellet with ur name on it

[unbreaker]

yeah so not going easy on you just because you spat some sob story out

[heavyhitter]
