godbent | 1st: The Promise of Haruhi Suzumiya

[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]

Third floor, room number 13. I'm the only one on the floor right now. [He doesn't attempt to walk past Haruhi to lead the way to his apartment, instead glancing over at her.] You're seriously going to bring me all the way back to my room?

Someone needs to make sure you take a bath or something. You apparently turned suicidal.

[And after and ugly look, she starts to march up the stairs. The issue is more... that she needs something to focus on]

Oh come on. Suicidal? [For all of his complaining, he seems okay with just following after her.] Haruki didn't dog me this much.

[Whenever they get to his room, he'll open the door. The actual apartment (http://i56.tinypic.com/2e4ggb4.jpg) is pretty sparsely decorated, with his barrel teleporter off in its own room.]

That's because you weren't being stupid at the time! [But with the huff, she settles for leaning against the wall once inside and folding her arms. ...You did not just compare her to that guy did you]

[He gives Haruhi a disgruntled look, setting his bag on the table and unbuttoning his wet jacket.] It's not like I got hurt or anything. And I'm not going to do it again!

I need you for your brain, not your muscles, but you being in a wheelchair or something is a setback we can't afford right now, that's all. [Still... just chilling on this wall. Watching. Judging.]

I'm not going to end up in a wheelchair. [It's a feeble protest, and Leon rubs his neck in frustration before pulling off his damp sweater as well.] So don't worry about ... setbacks.

Like I can trust the word of the kid who just climbed over a mountain for no reason.

[Yes, she just called you kid. ...Despite being the same height as you. And currently being the same physical age]

[Oh, that definitely riles him. ...But he's not going to snap back about the "kid" comment.] You wouldn't mind if it was anyone else.

Everyone else isn't your size. [PROVE YOU'RE A MAN, LEON. DO IT. I DARE YOU.

But no she just is going to take this moment to flop on a chair/couch/whatever because the wall is getting annoying]

My size? [Oh come on. Now that's just low.] I'm finally growing and you're still making fun of my height?

What- I just meant that smaller people will get sick easier, it's a scientific fact! Why do you think people are all worried about little kids getting sick?

[No it's.... more to do with immune systems. And you should know she knows this, Leon, she's just being difficult]

[He realizes Haruhi's just being difficult--and that she has been for awhile now. He's actually trying to keep from exploding long enough to call her out on it.] That's stupid and you know it. And you know I know it! You're just-- just arguing for no reason at all now!

[...Yeah. That totally worked.]

Shut up! I'm not doing it for no reason, you're being... dumb! It's not like you either!

[Yes, she is doing it for no reason. She's just... upset and arguing is better than being pensive]

Yeah, that's fair. [Like he's going to admit it was really dumb.] Are you just going to keep arguing with me over something that's already done and finished? Because I did just get back from climbing a mountain, you know. [And despite that, he doesn't sound all that tired. It must be Haruhi-induced adrenaline or something.]

Whatever! You still need to shower first, right? What's yours is mine, so it doesn't matter if I sit here while you're doing that.

[This is a flimsy excuse, yes]

[... ...] You're just going to sit here while I shower? Weren't you going somewhere when you ran into me?

...It's cold and I'm tired. This chair's comfortable. [To drive this effect home, she's going to lord over it in the form of leaning back and then kicking her feet up]

[He's going to facepalm, but no more arguing. Because he knows that once Haruki--and Haruhi by extension--has made up his mind, there's little he can do about it.

...Though now that he's dealing with Haruhi, he crossly holds out the hope that he'll someday be tall enough to bodily chuck her out of his room. ~~He can dream.~~]

Okay, okay... Fine. I don't have anything here to snack on, so you're out of luck there.

That's fine. [No it's not why you have no snacks, Leon :C She pouts briefly but then shakes her head and shuts her eyes, curling up into a position to take a nap or something]

[Clearly he needs to pop over to the store or something instead of passing out in his room. Geez Haruhi. 8| But after waiting a second and noticing Haruhi has in fact shut her eyes, Leon leaves to take a shower.

Maybe it won't be so weird to think about the situation if he doesn't focus on the fact that Haruhi's a girl.]

[Yeah well you're the sexless innkeeper now, Leon.

Enjoy it]

[Twas three days after New Year's, and Haruhi had pouted, in the den of her pet cat, at whom she had shouted.

And when he returned with his old clothes disposed, Leon discovered Haruhi had already dozed.

So he stood there in towel with a confused look, at a girl he'd never noticed in favor of a book.

So sprightly, so lithe, so easy on the eyes, he dreaded when she woke he'd meet his demise.

So he hurried to his room and away from the sleeper, and that was how Leon became the sexless innkeeper.]
