godbent | 40th: The Frogs of Haruhi Suzmiya

[Okay so her not!date a few days ago ended up a disaster all things considered. She's really not sure how to handle facing Kyon or Minato even four days later ~~hence my need to have a second post such a short time later~~. She's sort of hunt out in the Brigade's front room or at her house -- it's too cold to really sit on the roof of her house, like she might otherwise do. She meant to just be introspective and avoid people other than housemates or people who came to call, even having a silent period in Brigade Meetings.

But well, now there's elves. She ignored the elf for the first day, but it's still here and honestly, the first few requests about hanging up decorations or fixing up that tree Minato and her still got despite the failure of that day. So she does those. Then, its fourth request is... to go caroling all over town for two hours.

Silly.

It's silly, but it's just silly enough for her to want to do it. Honestly, it didn't even tell her what she had to sing. So--- Haruhi will be going all over town, to knock on the front doors of various houses and then sing songs ranging from: Eye of the Tiger to God Knows to Lost My Music, and maybe even a little Pillows. Basically, anything she can recall how to sing off hand. The blatant defiance of the elf's no doubt intended edict of doing Christmas songs feels good. She'll do more things by the book for the elf later, sure, but right now, this level of defiance feels very good.

Feel free to encounter her whole she's "caroling," between houses (with her getting increasingly happy the closer to the end of her run she is), or during her avoidance period. PS: If you're in the Brigade, see here for New Years discussion.]

Use your imagination.

Imagination's one thing, finding some meaning in an elf being shoved in my face is another! Just keep the stupid thing.

But it's annoying and you seem more willing to do things it wants than I am!

I'm willing to do the things mine tells me to do! Stop being difficult!

Well if you took mine, then he'd be yours.

I already said that I refuse!

What if I just leave him here and he follows you home?

[ The elf's saying how he won't follow her. ]

Shut up, you.

[Now you're just reaching. For shame, Yuri. For Shame.

This face]

I'm good with people. I'm bad at following orders. This thing doesn't fit with me at all.

And how is that my problem?

Obviously you're better at listening to tiny little elves than I am.

Honestly, then I'd prefer if you just left it there to be something to annoy you.

[And she turns now, to try to get out]

Want some hot cocoa?

[ Yuri figures she can do something other than be the Grinch if she takes the initiative at least. Offer cocoa before elf says to do it > don't feel like being ordered around by elf. Problem solved right? ]

[She skids to a halt and then turns, slowly. Slow, and with an incredulous face] ...Come again?

Chocolate in liquid form, all warmed up with fire. Do I need to look up the chemical formula for you?

...Don't you live with that relentlessly annoying mind controlling garbage?

Yeah but he's probably playing his game. If he tries to annoy anyone I'll hit him. Sound good?

No, but I'll throw you a bone. [and she turns completely now, marching back to the door and sighing]

Yes because it's such an honor serving you hot cocoa that I need you to do that. [ Still, Yuri tosses her elf on the couch, then goes off to go make some. Instacocoa packets, yum. ]

It is if I'm doing it to help you get good in on the elf.

[Whatever. She follows to the kitchen]

Elf didn't ask for it.

It's still within the expected principle.

I like to think of it more as "I like hot chocolate, let me share it with someone else I like."

I'll offer again in the summer if the mood strikes.

Whatever. I'll just be waiting.

[hanging out against this counter]

[ Yuri's heating up the water then, watching it while she talks to Haruhi. ]

This is my first Christmas here, do they normally send out elves?
