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.]

I heard Neku announce he was moving out. Is that because of this?

Several weeks delayed, yeah.

He wouldn't tell me. Not that I'm particularly surprised. It would have been ni--

[ but Joshua is interrupted by a loud RIIIP!

He turns just in time to see the end of the garland fall to the floor, a bare piece of wall and a displaced strip of wallpaper in its wake. ]

... Well, then.

Jeez, that's cheap.

[She stops what she's doing to inspect the rip there, frowning]

[ Joshua starts slowly taking down the garland still attached before it brings down more of the wallpaper. ]

I suppose this means I'll be replacing the wallpaper, today, too.

I'm not helping with that. [Just to make that clear]

How cruel. [ He giggles. ] In the meantime, I suppose I should find somewhere else for the garland.

[ He finishes getting it off the wall without further mishap and starts looking around again. ]

You could put some stuff around the tables, but that would be a little tacky.

[And she pointedly looks at his wings] Actually, that'd suit you.

Ah, how you wound me. [ More giggles, and he flaps his wings just because. ]

I think I'll put it around the counter. Out of the way but still visible.

Mmm, yeah, that makes sense. [With a little sigh. Oh well, this will only take slightly longer than anticipated]

[ Going to do that now. ]

Does Neku still visit at least?

Yeah, now and again, I guess. Or maybe they meet each other outside.

So they're at least not avoiding each other... I suppose that will do for now.

Ideally, Shiki'd just get over him, but I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

They were together for a while. Even when you set your mind to it, heartbreak can take a long time to conquer. Love is very powerful, after all.

Love is stupid. [But she knows, of course she knows. But she is so, so not discussing this with Joshua. She'll help him hang up stuff, but she's not going to talk about this]

Possibly. But it can do wonderful things. Even through heartbreak.

I'm not going to discuss this with you.

Sore spot?

I don't like you, why would I want to discuss love with you?

An interest in the conversation itself doesn't do it for you?

Not in the least!

Shared interest in the couple in question?

Denied!

Something to kill time with?
