40th: The Frogs of Haruhi Suzmiya

[Okay so her not!date a few days ago ended up a disaster all things considered. She's really not sure how to handle facing Kyon or Minato even four days later hence my need to have a second post such a short time later. She's sort of hunt out in the Brigade's front room or at her house -- it's too cold to really sit on the roof of her house, like she might otherwise do. She meant to just be introspective and avoid people other than housemates or people who came to call, even having a silent period in Brigade Meetings.

But well, now there's elves. She ignored the elf for the first day, but it's still here and honestly, the first few requests about hanging up decorations or fixing up that tree Minato and her still got despite the failure of that day. So she does those. Then, its fourth request is... to go caroling all over town for two hours.

Silly.

It's silly, but it's just silly enough for her to want to do it. Honestly, it didn't even tell her what she had to sing. So--- Haruhi will be going all over town, to knock on the front doors of various houses and then sing songs ranging from: Eye of the Tiger to God Knows to Lost My Music, and maybe even a little Pillows. Basically, anything she can recall how to sing off hand. The blatant defiance of the elf's no doubt intended edict of doing Christmas songs feels good. She'll do more things by the book for the elf later, sure, but right now, this level of defiance feels very good.

Feel free to encounter her whole she's "caroling," between houses (with her getting increasingly happy the closer to the end of her run she is), or during her avoidance period. PS: If you're in the Brigade, see here for New Years discussion.]

[When there's a sound by the door Winry opens it. Honestly she doesn't expect Haruhi, but when it's Haruhi there and singing she can't help but be a little confused. The blonde tilts her head, and refrains from asking what is going on for just a little longer. If Haruhi thinks to look she'll see Winry's Elf swinging its legs happily on a shelf with a cookie.]

[She'll wait until Haruhi gives up to speak.]

What's that all about?
markofthewise: (Yeah. No.)

[He's not even at the house. He's on his way back, though. When he spots Haruhi singing outside of it, he's amused. It's funny, really. Though also curious. He can really only think of one reason.]

The elf, right? [He knows. Oh, he knows.]

[ And when she opens the door, Yuri closes it almost as soon as the music starts, then goes to get her own elf.

She opens the door again, within seconds, and holds the guy out to Haruhi. ]


Here, you can have another one as payment for your services.

Oh yeah? Mine just told me to make cookies. How long have you been outside doing that?

Still, you must be cold. Want to come in?

[Winry steps aside to invite Haruhi in. From the shelf Winry's Elf looks excited and perks up. Go ahead, Winry. Invite her in. Feed her cookies.]

[ So, Haruhi. This door happens to be opened by a Joshua, Christmas decorations in hand. Still going to sing? ]

[He did come try to talk to her during that period, for the record.... but she didn't answer the door. And for once, he decided against just barging in anyway.

But when she's out caroling, she'll have to pass by his house eventually. What will she do then?]
neverplaysfair: (I've decided to wash my hands of it.)

[ The change in expression on Joshua's face probably isn't the one she's expecting. The surprise shifts into something blank, almost sad in a way, as he listens.

He was aware that he couldn't hear music, which is the only reason what he's hearing now makes sense. It's the lyrics, but the melody and rhythm are somehow distorted so that it doesn't even come close to being the original song. It doesn't really sound like anything now. There's just the words.

... Meanwhile Joshua's elf skitters over to the doorway as fast as his little legs can carry him and starts clapping along cheerfully, because Christmas carolers are awesome! Right? ]
emp3thy: ♬ NEUTRAL | (watching)

[personal profile] emp3thy 2012-12-22 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, good. Because he's opening the door.]
neverplaysfair: (That was a nice distraction.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2012-12-22 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ It takes a second for Joshua to recover, and then with a giggle he's grinning like nothing was ever wrong in the first place. ]

Just for us? Why, we're honored. What a nice present, given from the kindness of your heart.

[ Because he is pretty sure this is an elf request, if Haruhi's apparent reluctance is anything to go by. ]
neverplaysfair: (Why don't we play one last Game?)

Benevolent enough to help me with some decorating? [ To which his elf nods enthusiastically, as Joshua holds up the garland he had just been trying to figure out what to do with a moment ago. ]

[Well, he recognizes the song, but...

...he still can't see how it's relevant to the situation.]


You have a nice voice.

And you listened?

[He had no idea that Eye of the Tiger wasn't a Christmas song. But then, he didn't know what was.]
