Rulez and Reapers

Oh my god, Joshua is soooooooooooooooooooooo obnoxious. Personally speaking, I find this hilarious and am having a great time. Neku, on the other hand...

Well, to his credit, while he does absolutely hate Joshua on sight, Neku is still making an effort to work with him. Mostly because he's aware Shiki's life is on the line. Despite having (most of) his memories back now, we still haven't gotten any real insight into what Neku's life was like before the game... but the fact that Shiki is now the most important thing to him after only a week definitely says something! Poor guy.

A new week and a new partner also means new combat mechanics! I actually am finding myself enjoying Joshua's controls more than Shiki's. Especially after I realized I already have his aerial abilities unlocked, meaning I can just levitate away and blast the Noise to death by summoning pillars of angels and light. Which could mean nothing. The downside here is I apparently never picked up his higher-level fusion abilities, so I'm stuck doing only Lv.1 fusion attacks until I can track those stickers down.

I honestly don't have much commentary on this week yet, besides that I find it incredibly funny. The first two days are mostly just about establishing new annoyances in Neku's life: Joshua (of course), Sho Minamimoto (an icon) and Tin Pin Slammer (which I am determined to finally stop sucking at). Maybe I'll have more to say soon, after I stop laughing at everything Joshua says.
