1st: The Promise of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice + Action]

[So Haruhi... arrived this morning. Or well, last night? Somewhere in there, and she learned the truth the hard way. She's yet to test it, but she's got no reason to think Mikage was lying unless it was an elaborate troll, in which case she'll beat him into the ground.

Thus, once it's a more sensible hour of the day, she clears her throat after waking up - and skimming the journals, getting a brief feel for how things are right now, but afraid to look back and see Haruki so not that far - in the Brigade room (if for whatever reason you character would be there in the morning, feel free to run into her then btw):]

Hey, Luceti, listen up!

I, Haruhi Suzumiya, have returned as what is probably one of the first new feathers of this cycle!

SOS-Brigade, that means that naturally you're required to show up for future meetings, starting tomorrow. If you fail to attend even one of the ones this week I'll penalize you so much that you won't get to see the sun for weeks, got it?! Luceti's going to get much more exciting from here, so look forward to it, everyone!

[...Yeah, that'll due. She'll wait on responses for a while, but then getting restless (it's before noon, after all), she's going to head out

She's got two locations in mind. In order, she's heading to Winry's house (House 23) to knock on it and look for her, and then once she deduces Winry is missing (and in a much more foul mood) she's matching to claim back House 10. Naturally, your character is free to run into her on the way to or at either of these locations as well

Yes just feel free to run into her in general. Or reply. Or whatever. After all, you all remember her a little... different. Though new people are welcome too. Everyone is]

[... Oh come on. Is she going to need to do this every time?]

Haruhi.

[markofthewise]

[HA! That rhymes with Haruki. But uh, she probably wouldn't get the joke.]

Right. Haruhi. [Oh hell, he'll make the joke anyway.] Be careful, people might mistake you for Haruki. Or that you're his long lost sister... or girlfriend... or something like that.

1/3

[godbent]

[...No.]

SHUT UP! I'm not his sister or his girlfriend! In fact, who would ever want to be that asshole's girlfriend?! Stand with him for three seconds and he becomes insufferable-

[godbent]

[She takes a step forward then, jabbing a finger at Sokka's cheat, planning to try to shove him back in all of her imposing 5'2ness]

And for that matter, you know me, Sokka! Haruhi Suzumiya, the chief of the SOS-Brigade! I've known you for about a year now! I was only sent home two months ago and even if the Malnosso nuked all of your memories into some stupid lie are you really that stupid that you can't even put one and two together?! I'm Haruhi Ha-Ru-Hi!

[godbent]

I'm- I'm- [Inhale, leans back, and then probably making a huge scene after a pause of biting her lips, she finishes off with a tremendous-]

Winry's girlfriend!

[But she doesn't know to star to blush that much until after she finishes and the anger abates a little]

1/2

[markofthewise]

[Have the most skeptical look ever. Well first of all, he has to respect someone who realizes Haruki to be the self absorbed asshole he really is. So she gets points there. On the other hand... she's also claiming to be the same person. When her finger jabs into his chest, he doesn't step back, he just stares down at the finger and then up at her face.]

2/3

[markofthewise]

So they turned you into a girl. And a homo.

[And finally... full circle. Well done, Haruki.]

[markofthewise]

[On one hand, he knows what Haruhi is going through. This was Sokka, about a month ago. He shouldn't give her a hard time, on the other hand... it's Haruki.]

Well don't worry! They'll turn you back into Haruki in a few weeks!

[godbent]

[Oh not you didn't. Oh no you didn't. In fact, she's not even thinking here, there's so much wrong with that that she's-

Forget slapping, she's going to go straight of trying to kick him in the balls]

1/2

[markofthewise]

[With that whole split second of realizing what was going on, Sokka was able to turn just enough to make this less painful than it could have been. Not that it doesn't hurt anyway and throws him off balance, but at least he's not squirming on the ground.]

YEOW! Ow! OW!! What the hell!?

[markofthewise]

[With his legs crossed to prevent further instances of that, the pain instantly erupts into anger. Pissed off anger.]

What was that for!?

[godbent]

Where the hell do you get off saying that, Sokka?! [Homo- that- that she would be back to "Haruki" that fast and. Glaring and getting right up in his face now]

[markofthewise]

[If you were a guy, his hand would be on his sword by now. For now, his teeth are clenched and it's all he can do not to make this a fist fight. Because he knows you're Haruki, but not right now.]

Where the hell do you get off kicking me? I didn't say anything the real you wouldn't have!

[godbent]

This is the "real" me, you idiot! [;lsdnmkl;m; wera]

[markofthewise]

I know the real you. You're not him. Haruki wouldn't have used such a cheap move! And for no reason!

[godbent]

Drop dead, Sokka. [And with that, she's turning on her heel and storming off. Because she does not want nor need to put up with this]

[markofthewise]

[He could let this go. On the other hand, he's a little too pissed for that. So when she starts walking away, he follows and tugs her shoulder back.]

Not until you give me a good reason for kick- attacking me!

[godbent]

[WINCE. A sharp wince and she glares at the soil below her, balling a hand into a fist as she starts to tremble with - what? Anger? Sadness? Frustration? She's not even sure but]

Because you're being an asshole.

[markofthewise]

[He's not going to let this go. Not until she explains herself. He's still steamed. Maybe not violent steamed, but he wants his answers.]

For what!? Saying you'd turn back into Haruki? That's how it works! It's happened three different times to me already. Both Avatar Sokka and the girl Sokka didn't want to admit it, but that's just how it is. Even the other Sokka didn't go around attacking people over it!

[godbent]

Avatar- Girl- Who cares! No! It's not going to go back because I'm like this and I've always been a girl! Always! [Oh fuck her is she starting to- no. She hangs her head and slaps a hand on her face. She's feigning a facepalm, but she actually started to feel herself getting misty-eyed and there's no way she'll show Sokka that]

[markofthewise]

[Totally buying the fake facepalm too. It doesn't improve his mood.]

I'm not saying you don't exist. [Yup, he still believes his counterparts are real. And exist somewhere.] Anyway, it's still no reason to just go attacking me!

[He's fishing for an explanation, an apology, or something. It's the only way he can shrug this off without telling her to pick up a weapon and duke it out with him.]

[godbent]

What sort of jerk tells someone where girlfriend was kidnapped by evil scientists and then tells them that they aren't the "real" Suzumiya?! [And here she turns to fix him with a glare. Her hands on her hips. Must not have her eyes moisten, so she tries to steel it in a glare. But it's coming out... not as good as she might hope]

[markofthewise]

[... okay, valid point. Also, he's starting to get the hint she's maybe just a bit upset in more than one way.]

... okay, maybe that was uncalled for. But the kicking? That's taking it way too far. You're lucky you're not Haruki, because we wouldn't be talking about this right now.

[godbent]

Like I care. I'm not him so whatever you think about him or what you'd do with him doesn't matter in the lead, moron. Idiot. [And she huffs here. No. Compose yourself, Suzumiya]

[markofthewise]

[He ponders for a moment if it came across what he was getting at. He replies flatly (and extremely inappropriately for the tenseness of the situation:]

I meant that if you were the guy, I would have punched you.
