Case 34

[PRIVATE TO SELF//SLIGHTLY HACKABLE]

I can't believe Doumeki's gone...

I mean...people have left before...but Doumeki was my friend. I worked for him, he let me stay with him...he meant a lot to everybody.

I dunno what's gonna happen now. Everybody is taking it hard...he's been here a while...

I should do something. Something to try and make everybody feel a little better. I just need to think of something...


...Oh my god, he left me the flower shop.

I have a shop to run now. How...How am I supposed to do that? I've only ever worked for somebody else in the retail business!! This is completely different from paranormal investigating!

I have a lot to think about...

...Here's to you, Doumeki. I'll do the best I can. Not just with the shop either, but with everybody in the apartment.

[END PRIVATE]


So....uh...I own a flower shop now!

Anybody wanna give me a hand with it? I've never run a shop before, and I promised Doumeki I'd do a good job...so I really don't know what to do yet.

Orion, you'll help me...right? I mean, we'll still do the paranormal investigating, because that's awesome and the best job in the world, but...well, having some extra money coming in couldn't hurt.

...though, I don't think Doumeki ever actually paid me...ah well, that's not the point.

You guys'll help me, and it'll be great! Any takers?

...I'm 24.

[ooc: Omg, I have needed an excuse to play with Josh.]

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

If you say so, dear.~

((ooc: well now you have it! :3))

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I am!!

[ooc: <3]

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

Did I say you were lying?

[ giggles ]

Or maybe it's a guilty conscience!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Noo...I am just so sick of people saying I'm like, 14 or 16 or something when I'm not!!

I do not have a guilty conscience!!

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

Now now. It's really one of those honest mistakes. Shouldn't you consider it a compliment?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm just really, REALLY sick of it.

It's more of a compliment on girls than guys, anyway.

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

[ at least you got to live to see the age of 24 8| ]

You say that now, but when you finally hit thirty, perhaps you'll realize that being mistaken for being younger has its advantages.

[ like him. :) ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Or so it appears...]

...it makes buying booze really, REALLY tough.

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

That's what you're really concerned with?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, it's just one of the little annoyances. There are plenty of other issues, trust me.

[Issues he is not going to talk about.]

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[ he presses buttons forever ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Much more personal reasons.

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

You do realize how futile it is to keep secrets here, right?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I know.

But I wanna keep mine secret until I'm forced to reveal them. I already had to deal with one, not going through that again, specially not by choice.

Sorry...I don't wanna sound like a jerk, but...

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Don't misunderstand. I could care less about minuscule things like that. It's just a warning.~

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uhh...well, ok...I think.

[Yeah, he's weirded out.]

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

[ that's what he lives for. so to speak. ]

There is one little thing I don't quite get...

[ be warned. your little private self message is being hacked by one genius Composer. ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

What?

[Oh god, Joshua, you awful evil Composer.]

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

Why talk to someone that isn't here? Are you hoping by some chance that he'll hear you? Or is it to comfort yourself?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...

You weren't supposed to read that...

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

You should learn to encrypt it better. Not that it matters.

[ he can read your miiiiiind~ ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...not cool.

...I'm trying to cope with a friend leaving, ok?

[ihasfeather.livejournal.com]

It's not like he can't come back.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I dunno...he seemed pretty sure, and even if he does, what are the chances he'll remember?
