26th: The Artistry of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice]

Okay Luceti, tell me! Maids, specifically dressing cute girls up at them: Fetish, or Art Form?

[...Yep.

That message goes up solo, and the rest of this trails maybe ten minutes later as an afterthought]


Also! If you guys saw that mega-birthday party the other day [here] or have involvement in Hydra Social [here] you've gotten a taste of what the Brigade can do for you. We also do consultations, so be sure to call on on, particularly if you can answer my earlier question correctly. [Particularly because, well... Valentines. She actually has two different plans for how to deal with it, she really needs to confer with Winry about which she'd prefer to see happen. But that reminds her...]

Hey Mikuru, do you want to sleep over tonight?

[EDIT: and then later that night she remembers something else, so she adds in]

Oh... right. Are there any people who know how to sail a ship who aren't otherwise occupied, willing to be hired out, and willing to head out into the water this time of year?

[If this wasn't clear already this post originated in an argument between Winry and Haruhi, so she might jack into various threads]

...[She is not convinced that is a good reason and the party was before this so this is a few days after that...like the day after but never the less she'll pick up the book and look at it.] I have to talk to him because I don't know him. You're making me harass a complete stranger!? [Shiki how is that anything new.]
so_shik: (fear will hold you back)

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-03-28 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a hermit to me. [But okay she'll pick up the journal and just peer into it.]

...hello?
semper_cogitans: (O:)

HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN. Seriously.

Robert has to learn that, if he says something is impossible, he'll be forced to do it. It's just the nature of Luceti.

As it is, he is now staring at the face and listening to the voice of a person he has never spoken to before, out of nowhere, and for no particular reason. How does he even begin to negotiate this?]
semper_cogitans: (*facepalm*)

2/IDK

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-28 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[...

Way-too-long silence, in which Robert clearly has no idea what to do. The recording button seems way too difficult to hit.

But if he doesn't reply, it will be rude, won't it? This person is trying to communicate with him, isn't zie? And he has a responsibility to say something now even though this wasn't his idea and he really doesn't want to -]
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

3/4 I think

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-28 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[...

... Saying something will disprove what he said before, too, won't it?

Now the desire to be correct is warring with the desire to not seem rude and the building anxiety he has in considering initating conversation with a complete stranger.]
semper_cogitans: (:|)

okay done finally

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-28 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
[The desire to not be an ass eventually wins out, though, and so Shiki will probably get the most awkward message she's ever gotten.]

...

S-S... S-Salutations...

[Yep.]
so_shik: (what does this button do?)

...fffff

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-03-30 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[...jeezes Haruhi, what did you set her up with?]

Salutations? Don't you think that's just a little too formal?
semper_cogitans: (:/)

sorry about that... LOL

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-31 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too formal? What's that?]

... N-Not... particularly...?

[But he doesn't even sound as if he's certain about it.]
so_shik: (automatic eyes)

it's beautiful that's all that matters

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-04-01 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
...it kind of is. If you're going to be talking to new people, start with something a little more relaxed. Like "hi." Or "hey." Or even the standard "hello" works if you still insist on being a tiny big formal.
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

Robert is just horrendous this way

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-04-03 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Oh... well, that's something Robert never really understood about greetings.]

... M-My apologies...

...

[Awkwardly:] ... Should I... r-reattempt it...?
so_shik: (weeeeeellll...)

but it's okay o7

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-04-05 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah, I guess it wouldn't hurt. Let's try this again.
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

;w; is this delay also okay?

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-04-15 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay.

Starting again now.

He coughs once, to clear his throat - the recording catches the tail end of the cough - and then:]


... H-Hello...

...

... [Nervously:] Is that... m-more appropriate...?
so_shik: (Ummm)

Yeah, no big

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-04-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess it is, but now let's try to get you not to sound as terrified.
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

<3

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-04-18 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
... T-Terrified...?

[Yeah, he isn't really aware of just how nervous he sounds.]
so_shik: (Ummm)

<3

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-04-20 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
You're stuttering...it's usually a sign of being freaked out.
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

/leaves this here awkwardly after two weeks

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
...

... In... in m-my case, it is... n-not something I can help...

[Blunt, but awkward. Robert's never had this much attention called to his stutter before.]
so_shik: (just walk away)

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-05-07 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was an actual...you know, thing. I thought it was just you being afraid.
semper_cogitans: (:/)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
It is... u-understandable. I suppose... such v-vocal tics are, er... rare, here...?

[He hasn't heard anybody else stutter this way except Giles and Helios...]
so_shik: (weeeeeellll...)

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-05-07 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
They are, yeah. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, it's just going to take some getting used to.
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-11 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
I... have n-never had it commented upon s-so much before...

[And it's partially why Robert doesn't like to talk. But the alternatives aren't any better, here.]
so_shik: (I didn't mean it!)

[personal profile] so_shik 2012-05-12 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a big deal, really.
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-29 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe not to her, but it seems to be to some other people, at least.]

... Is... is it... c-considered a problem, by most individuals...?
