34th: The Years of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice+Action]

Jeez, everyone. I know I'm due to hit forty soon enough, but as pranks go, making everyone half my age is pretty excessive. [It's in a semi-serious tone, but she's actually being sarcastic here] This is going to make the birthday party I hope some of you are planning pretty awkward, isn't it?

[Short laugh. It's funny, okay]

I'll be heading by the Brigade HQ for anyone who's around. The village is smaller too, gosh. See you there!

[So Haruhi Suzumiya is significantly older now! She's in her later 30s and as noted here will remain as such until her birthday on the 31st. You're free to answer the voice today or you can run into her in Action in any of the following situations (or anything else you come up with) on any day between now and the 30th!:

A) Shopping for clothes and accessories. Sure she's probably the result of some Shift, but she's going to be comfortable for this time, okay. Gosh.
B) Hanging out in and around House 10 or the HQ. She'll be with Sekai, and very enamored to see the rooster once more. ♥ She also might be witnessed meditating in these places, cooking meals at home, or otherwise doing her best to enjoy herself
C) At Good Spirits or Cloud Nine. She'll be at different ones on different nights for different reasons. Either way, some light drinking, darts, watching people perform, all that good stuff.
D) Swimming or tanning on the beach. Sure she's older, but she might as well distract/enjoy herself during this time, right. You also might see her performing some higher end spell work like putting an air bubble around her head to dive under the water here.
E) Going to the Hot Springs to have a nice dip. Hot Springs are things people always ought to enjoy. :|
F) People watching around town. This might be done in the form walking around, jogging around, or just sitting on a bench or something. But she'll be around trying to get a feel for who's around and chatting up familiar people.
G) Practicing her magic. A lot of it is filial, but some of it is also garner from other worlds. She's mostly comparing what she "knows" she should be able to do, versus what she can actually do if she's some temporary person here. This will mostly be out at the forest's edge, but also in the barracks, up at the mountains, on the beach...

No matter when you see her if you ask about the future she's from she'll probably tell you tall tales about the future. If you have anything you'd specifically want or not want your character to hear, ring me for permissions here. Let's have fun with this, folks. Replies will be from cougarmom]

[...Hm] So, think we're going to hear any karaoke out of you tonight?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash spits back into his glass, choking a bit as he does so.] No! No! I don't think so!

[cougarmom]

Really? I'd be looking forward to it if we did! We could even do a duet!

1/2

[goldenglasses]

A duet, huh?

2/2

[goldenglasses]

[NO WAIT! She may have the mind and body of an adult right now, this will probably eventually change you fool!] Ah- I'm a horrible singer. You'd better find someone else! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[cougarmom]

I'm good enough to keep up for both of us, don't worry. [Siip. You know this could due to be colder. She puts it on her palm and mutters, icing the edges of the glass a bit]

[goldenglasses]

I worry more for your poor ears! Ooh! Nice job with the magic there! [CHANGE THE SUBJECT!]

[cougarmom]

Oh this? [...She looks at her glass and laughs, taking another sip before waving her free hand dismissively] Please, most people could do this as long as they get on Sona's good side.

[goldenglasses]

True, but I've never thought to use it like that!

[cougarmom]

That's a shame, it's one of the best uses, in my opinion.

[goldenglasses]

I'll be sure to keep that trick in mind for the future!

[cougarmom]

There's also that trick with Kipinn where you manipulate what people hear.

[goldenglasses]

Ooooh! That sounds like a useful trick!

[cougarmom]

[She starts talking again, but... she uses Kipinn to stop the air's vibration's in the area around her head, rendering it silent]

[goldenglasses]

Ooooh! [Clapping again.] Nice job!

[cougarmom]

Of course! Naturally, it's one of my many talents.

[siip. Oh, this is empty now. sign and going to get a new one]

[goldenglasses]

Of course, only one of many! [Here let Vash reach over and grab a bottle to pour for you.] So, are the Malnosso still jerks in the future?

[cougarmom]

Oh, yes and no. Still jerks, but they're more cooperative.

[goldenglasses]

Really? More cooperative instead of just mega jerks? I suppose that's something!

[cougarmom]

It's true! I even work with the Organization now. Imagine that.

[goldenglasses]

You do? Not running experiments I hope.

[cougarmom]

Do I look like that's my department, Vash?

[goldenglasses]

Not at all! But maybe you got into that to try to make the experiments not so bad!

[cougarmom]

[A light tut. And she brushes her hair back] I guess we did see them as pretty bad, didn't we?

[goldenglasses]

I got turned into a donut and nearly eaten.
