Even a surplus of suffering gets boring after a while, hmm? Funny...

Say, Captain. Next time let's stop at a beach or something. Or maybe you could make a driveby of Tokyo. I'd appreciate the chance for a shopping spree, here. My wardrobe hasn't had an infusion of new things in weeks. It's terrible.

[A put-upon little sigh.] Not to get my hopes up, is anyone around here up for a game?

[Your inmate is... a huge dick. :( You knew that, Ariadne! It's why he's an inmate!] Well, you're back, aren't you? No hiccups? No missing memories or unfortunate losses? That's a gimmie, Ariadne.

Anyway, I'm the generous type, so you can choose. Would you like twenty questions? Which would you rather? Word association? Something weirder?

After a hell of a lot of pain for a few days, sure.

[Well, she has been wanting to build some trust with him.]

Twenty questions. No lying allowed. You can ask me anything. But then I get to ask you anything.

Easy peasy. I'd like to put you through the paces myself and see how you felt then.

[A laugh!] Now, now, if it's truths you want, you might want truth or dare. Or we could just swap truths. But that's not twenty questions.

I always take truth in truth or dare, anyway.

You know you can put me through my paces. That's the point.

Awww. How sweet of you. Maybe we'll land in Shibuya sometime, and I'll get a chance.

What's your earliest childhood memory?

[buildindreemz]

What's sweet about that?

Earliest childhood memory: probably my fourth birthday. I had a castle cake. It was the best cake ever.

It's sweet to play at offering vulnerability.

I'm just doing my job.

Who was the person closest to you back home?

[She'd likely be able to find this information in his file, so... well. There's Neku, and all that business, but Neku doesn't really know him quite so well nd hasn't known him for near so long as Sanae Hanekoma, who also set up an assassination attempt. Directed at Joshua. So.]

A certain barista-slash-artist. Hee hee. [As far as he's concerned, if Ariadne is curious, she can fill in the blanks herself.]

What's your greatest dream?

private;

[buildindreemz]

[Joshua the point of this is to actually tell each other things.]

You could just tell me who they are and what they mean to you.

My greatest dream is to design something iconic. Something that will last, and be remembered.

[He's just a spiteful little shit.......]

You didn't read up on all that yourself?

Ah. A true artist.

Haven't we had this conversation before? I don't like talking in circles.
