This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Haruhi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

[Voice, September 20th]

[godbent]

...Yes?

[Voice... she's at her HQ right now, but she nods to the book anyway]

[proxyerror]

Look -- sorry, I'm just trying to figure this place out or whatever.

[ It would be so much easier if this was just all a dream. ]

Has she really been here for years?

[godbent]

Yes, she has. So have I, actually.

[proxyerror]

.. she's okay, right? And Beat and Rhyme, too?

[ What am I even asking? ]

[godbent]

Relatively speaking, for Shiki. I don't know is Beat can be bad, and Rhyme's fine.

[proxyerror]

[ ... I can't just let that go. ]

What do you mean, 'relatively speaking'?

[godbent]

I mean relatively speaking. She's closer to nineteen than fifteen, of course she has problems.

[proxyerror]

She's almost nineteen? I knew she was older, but I'd never asked..

[godbent]

Eighteen. She turned eighteen on her birthday in February. [Which was... six months ago. Okay so she's exaggerating]

[proxyerror]

She's an adult.

[ It feels really weird saying that.. ]

I'm pretty sure I used to be older than her.

[godbent]

It's not like she came of age, you know. Jeez. [Referring to this. Even if it's less popular in modern times]

[proxyerror]

I know that, but...

[ It's just weird to think about, okay? Do I even know her anymore? ]

..nevermind.

[godbent]

Don't you "nevermind" me, Neku! Come on, keep it up!

[proxyerror]

Keep what up?? There's nothing to keep up.

[godbent]

There's plenty to keep up. Shiki and the others have all been here a while and gotten used to some other version of you, but that doesn't make you irrelevant for it.

[proxyerror]

I never said I thought I was irrelevant.

[ It's snappy, irritated. ]

[godbent]

You were thinking it.

[proxyerror]

You don't know that.

[godbent]

I do too. People who show up to find their friends older and settled fit one or two molds - either they're annoyed their friends changed so much or they're wondering about their own relevancy anymore. [...She said in a super entitled way]

[proxyerror]

Maybe that's them, but that's not me! You can't just lump everyone into two groups like that!

[ Neku, you probably wouldn't be getting so angry if it weren't true.. ]

[godbent]

Did you forget I know you too?! Well... a different version of you.

[proxyerror]

A different version of me. Not me.

[godbent]

Wow, you're focusing on that... Well yeah, basically.

[proxyerror]

.. look, it's just going to take me a little time.

[ I've got to stop being worried about not measuring up to myself eventually, right? ]

[godbent]

Alright, far enough then.
