godbent | 7th: The Catharsis of Haruhi Suzumiya

[So yesterday afternoon things went bad. Things went very bad just as soon as things were looking up. But... as soon as she shut the book, Haruhi found she wasn't mad anymore. She just had a good cry for a while and then settled in for doing nothing for the rest of the night. She even got to sleep early It's not so much that she wasn't upset as much as... she suddenly felt too tried to possible care about anything like that. Too tired to care about anything. So she slept and hung out at home and was so confused that she didn't know how to do anything. ~~Housemates can jack in here if they feel like it~~ But anyway, the point is...

She decided not to feel bad.

She ignored the sinking feeling she felt in her gut all the way to when she got up and started going through the motions the next morning. Motions which included dragging Winry out to the shops earlier. And presumably talking to her more before and/or after it. The point is, she fills up her morning with the other girl which... leads us to the afternoon.]

[In a much happier voice than anyone is probably expecting:] Kurt, Tacihi, Leon, Mikage, Uriko, [because she doesn't know she's gone yet] Yoohoo, Anne- status reports?

[Naoki she knows what's up. Keiichi... just no. Hanyuu and Rena are with Keiichi. Minako is with her twin. No need to ask about any of them]

...SOS-Brigade! We didn't have one today and we won't have our customary Saturday lunch either, but starting next week, meetings are on again! Be sure to show up, and being late will result in a harsh penalty! No mistakes, got it?! The snow's been melting left and right already, and today is even hotter than all the other days so far, right?! So pretty soon it's going to be spring, and we've got lots of important things to do in spring! And for that matter, anyone else who has a mystery or something for us to deal with who who plans to in the future, drop us a line! You can't miss us!

Over and out!

[And then, well, there's one more message she needs to address now. She's (finally) hanging out in her Brigade room if anyone for some reason will be there in the afternoon and early evening to bump into her there]

[Filtered to Minato // 85% Unhackable]

...Hey.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You came to me, so you must have something else to talk about, right? So shut up!

It was mostly me checking on you. I'm checking on everybody after...yeah. All of that.

[...]

So what base is Joshua on now?

[Sure, that was a long while ago, but they haven't talked. And maybe it's mean, but it distracts from her problems and that matters more now]

Edited 2011-03-16 16:53 (UTC)

[Visibly. Cringing.] You mean with me, or with Neku? [She'll allow such a distraction just this once, but don't think you're off the hook yet, Haruhi.]

It's different with both?

[She shifts her position on the bed and pats it for Shiki to sit on it. If she wants]

Probably. Somehow I still get a weird feeling Joshua's more into Neku than me. [She'll go ahead and have a seat.] Things are finally normal but ugh, so never want to do that again.

Fine, then what's your base? Second?

[Second seems a good estimate]

With Josh? Something like that, yeah. Why's it matter?

How doesn't that matter?

...well what base are you on with Minato and Keiichi?

[...head hang. THE SHAME]

...what did you do?

Lock the door.

If you say anything about this to anyone, I'll take out Rena's old billhook for you.

[Actually, she has no idea if it's still in the old hiding spot. Hell, it probably isn't, but that sounds good.

[That's so not a threatening threat, but Shiki gets up and locks the door anyway. Girl-talk time. Give her a minute to resettle on the bed then before giving Haruhi her full attention.]

What's going on?

Third.

[It's a... very cold. Very simple statement]

[...she's just going to stare for a moment, hold on.]

...at the same time?

Shut up.

[Quickly and defensively]

...you did, didn't you?! How did you...what were you thin--what?

SHUT UP!

[That's as loud as she could muster it]

...but did you like it? [Shiki's going to ask questions forever.]

How can you even ask that?!

[OH MY GOD WOMAN]

Curiosity. That's still not really an answer either.

If I didn't already know you were a pervert I'd be beating you up.

[But there's no... bite. She's just tired]

...should I even bother asking if you regret it? [Oddly enough, she's not offended by the pervert comment. She's aware. You can't help but feel a little perverted after watching your boyfriend make out with another dude.]

Who wouldn't.

[That's a statement, not a question. As she... glares over at that coffin in the corner.]
