PLANS
Joshua will be keeping his eyes and ears peeled for information of all sorts. For the most part, this will be a year of adjustment for him as he gets used to his power caps and being more mortal than he used to be. He's also going to be annoying people staying in relative contact with people he's already met (or will meet) on either side. !!!IF YOU WISH TO PLAN ANYTHING WITH JOSHUA, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PM THIS JOURNAL FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION!!!
SUMMARY OF KNOWN DETAILS
He's going to meet the Black Shuck for the first time and have a lovely conversation with him. Joshua will also accomplish being on somewhat good terms with Hiro Hamada and Sansa Stark. He's going to pester the hell out of Hiro, mark his words.
TIMELINE OF EVENTS
| SPRING IN 2,701 (Mar, Apr, May) |
- MARCH - He'll delve into a small part of his powers in order to help out the natives and maybe some other Shardbearers. Joshua may or may not take great pleasure/amusement out of this.
- APRIL - Wow he is so not down with losing control like that. Joshua is going to instantly destroy his harp the moment he finds it in his dreams. Nobody, not even himself, wants a wild, out-of-control-emotionally Joshua. Good thing nobody he knows from his world is here, jfc.
- MAY - You know what's useful? Swans that turn into gold on death. Hell yes, he'll kill some swans and help out. Hopefully use their gold corpses as currency.
|
| SUMMER IN 2,701 (Jun, Jul, Aug) |
- JUNE - Josh's participating in the Magic Dueling part of Treun's Tourney! Otherwise, he'll just be a spectator. Joshua, sadly, doesn't think he'll be of use to anyone wanting to heal the areas affected by the Jabberwock, but if asked for advice, then he'll try to give theories/something.
- JULY - He's going to keep his wits about him more-so than usual. He'll be interested in looking into these rumors about that Shardbearer creating the fox masks and any other information people dig up on the guy.
- AUGUST - Joshua will visit the Cothromach to take a look at what Sansa's got planned! He'll also look in on the festivities at Leathann, probably on the roof of some building.
|
| FALL IN 2,701 (Sept, Oct, Nov) |
- SEPTEMBER - Well, hopefully people know either English or Japanese, else they'll never understand what the heck he's saying. He might be insulting your mother for all you know.
- OCTOBER - FUCK YEAH SAMHAIN TIME TO MEET THE DEATH DOG AND PAY HIS RESPECTS!!!!
- NOVEMBER - Some poor schmuck is probably going to try roughing up this pretty boy. Pity it's going to backfire tremendously on them as Joshua cheerfully hands them over to the Leathann authorities
or send their souls to Black Shuck and give the authorities their dead bodies, whichever
|
| WINTER IN 2,701/2,702 (Dec, Jan, Feb) |
- DECEMBER - Nah. Hunting and sweating? Nah. Nah, man.
- JANUARY - Joshua turns a year older as of January 1st!
- FEBRUARY - He'll be going to the Ostara Festival in Parrais. Art and music call to him, though he won't participate. Joshua will merely enjoy what the artists and musicians will bring to the occasion.
|
| SPRING IN 2,702 (Mar, Apr) |
- MARCH - Time to behead some skeletons and get in touch with his inner Queen of Hearts!
- APRIL - What the actual fuck, fairies.

[There's a smug smirk for Hiro.]
My 'freaky angel powers,' as you so call them, can do more than you think. I do hope you like surprises. [After all, where's the fun in spilling the beans on everything he can do?] Oh, it's impossible to differentiate. That's why they're usually situations in which 'judgment calls' are appropriate to describe them. Experience is the only way to learn, and sometimes none of the choices presented are good ones. All you can do is pick the best one.
[Joshua hums a little in thought.]
Sometimes, compassion makes all the difference. It can be a defining moment, and also can be the bravest thing a person could do. We aren't nameless entities in this war, Hiro. We're all people who have family, friends, people we care about. Some of us won't return to those people. The things you create, the things you do, will all be to make that a reality. That is a responsibility you must be able to bear or else it'll crush you under its weight.
[He pauses, looking up at the ceiling. It looks like he's deeply contemplating something. Eventually, he speaks.]
You wouldn't happen to have more tea, would you?
no subject
Maybe I don't want to actually know. [Why are you such a dick? He's not thrilled by that notion because any surprise from Joshua is probably going to be life-altering and disturbing. You know. Like finding out he's still dead or he has angel wings.] But doesn't it get easier to start telling the difference? Or is it just that eventually you gain enough experience that it's easier to pick the best things?
[...that's also true. Compassion is something he understands, even if he's sometimes not the best at it. He was doing better at home, tries to be the same here but sometimes that doesn't work out in his favor.] Is that your fancy way of saying to live life to the fullest? Just hope it doesn't get us busted in the future.
[He stands then, taking Joshua's cup from him as he starts to move away.] I'll be back with the same kind.
no subject
[In which Joshua proves he doesn't always give a straight answer for the umpteenth time.]
Well, if you do find out, then I hope it's not because we're facing each other in battle. [Despite what appears to be the contrary, he does consider Hiro a friend. Perhaps not entirely a close one, but a friend all the same, and he has no desire to kill him in cold blood.] The latter more than the former. You can tell in general if the shade is dark or light, but those in-between shades are the most difficult to figure out.
[Joshua giggles again.]
A hipster of a barista I know has a saying he's very fond of: 'Enjoy the moment.' However, that's not all of what I'm asking. Are you prepared for the day that your side uses what you create to kill others? For they'll name you as their killer as well, even if you weren't the one who pulled the trigger.
[Aw, Hiro is good to him!] Delightful!
no subject
We're gonna face each other eventually aren't we? [He doesn't like the idea, but he knows it's better to bring up the possibility now than avoid it.] Just might not be on the field. Call it another kind of experience drenched in a bunch of grays. Trust me, I'm not looking forward to that.
The one who owns Wildkat, right? You make him sound like a pretty wise guy. [He had been fine up until then, fine to make little jokes and jabs...and then no, Joshua had to go and ruin it by reintroducing reality.] Whoa, what? ...I...
[...nope. Not at all. He stares blankly for a moment, hand curling around the cup before he shakes his head.] I'll be right back. [Yup. He's just bolting to get more tea instead so he can think of maybe a decent answer. Maybe. Goddamnit Joshua.]
no subject
It is a possibility that shouldn't, or can't, be ignored. [Joshua brushes his bangs to the side.] Bravo, you're learning!
The very one. [He just won't say anything about how much of a 'wise guy' Sanae can be. It can be scary how similar the two can be when it comes to deflecting questions...
He just waves at Hiro's retreating back.]
no subject
And you drive me crazy. [But the tone's not entirely one of frustration...just slightly.] ...but do you really think war can also bring good changes? Or just the terrible ones? That's...the one thing I really, really want to know.
[Though it sounds as though he's asking in terms of war in general, Joshua will probably understand he means "this war."]
no subject
It depends on the war. World War I brought about chemical warfare, something so horrifying that the world agreed to never use it again. World War II brought atomic bombs to the table, which then led to the nuclear arms race in the Cold War. In all three, more efficient ways of killing vast amounts of other people were invented, and not all of them were humane, such as the concentration camps.
[He lifts the other hand, like a balance.]
However, if not for the Cold War, we might never have landed on the moon, thought to be an impossible feat. If not for World War II, then we may not have gotten out of the Great Depression as quick as we had. In some cases, without war, some countries would never have gained or regained their independence. Great strides in science and technology were made, regardless of whether they would be used in war or not.
[Now, Joshua puts both hands down, folding them neatly in front of him.]
Some things were ignored, though. The treatment of prisoners of war, for example. There'd been a convention to give better treatment to those soldiers and civilians, but they're still treated like garbage.
The changes this world will make, the good and bad, I don't know. It won't just be this world where those changes take place. It will effect all worlds. The choices we make, the actions we take, those will all be on our shoulders collectively.
[He leans back in his chair, tapping his foot.]
Life is not always a blessing, Hiro. Neither is death always a curse. They can be either, just as they can be either good or evil. They're a balance, and sometimes that balance can only be achieved by adding or taking more of one thing.
no subject
What happens when the balance tips though? He's hoping he won't find out anytime soon. That will mean the end of this war and that will mean the end of...well, everything.]
So really it's our job to make sure the balance says as equal as possible. Yeah. I get it. [He looks down at his hands, sneakers scuffing along the floor in thought.] Guess we've just gotta be careful how we do it. [A pause.] Thanks...for the reminder, I mean.
no subject
[He tilts his head slightly.]
A little tip for the road: perhaps you should try finding balance in yourself first. You lost a great deal of it when you lost Tadashi, and you're in danger of losing more of what you tried to regain.
A shame I can't ask you to call me every now and then to make sure you're alive and of this world, but I suppose letters will have to do for the moment.
no subject
[But at that his eyes light up a bit.] Actually...I've got something for you. [Digging into the pockets of his shorts, he unearths one obsidian black necklace and pushes it across the table to Joshua.] I'm not going to tell you where I got this from, but I have one, too. They work like the lockets but they're not connected to the system that's down right now. [A shrug.] I mean...if you want it. I've just been holding onto it for a while, didn't have anybody else to give it to.
[Nah, it's mostly that he purposefully wanted Joshua to have it, but saying he cares about him is hard. And also Joshua's an ass.]
no subject
[His tone is breezy and agreeable, sounding like he believes Hiro. They both know better, of course.
Joshua reaches forward to take the necklace, observing it with interest.]
I think I can work a hint of black. [He puts it in his pocket for the time being.] Is it only connected to yours?
[At least he doesn't ask why Hiro's giving it to him. He just casually accepts it.]
no subject
Black kinda goes with gold sometimes, doesn't it? [Whatever man. That's a great question though.] ...might be connected to some of the other necklaces but I'm not really sure. I'm trusting you with this though. So don't...don't use it to spy on my friends or anything.
no subject
[This one is cautious.]
