41st: The Beans of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice]

You know, we're coming up on February. [...] I guess the obvious thing is Valentines, given the weird fetish that the Organization has for it, but there's also Setsubun. People from Japan know about that, right? The SOS-Brigade's never really done something for it, but we should this year.

[That said, her voice doesn't have a ton of gusto in it. It's sort of dulled, just... stating things matter-of-factly, almost bored. She's still upset about Minato and various other problems associated with that. She still wants to be alone, but being alone isn't going to help anyone else. She's not quite altruistic enough to care about everyone, but there's a few people...]

I guess the lunar new year would be around now too, wouldn't it? But it's hard to call that unless anyone's been charting the moon too carefully here. And Foundation Day and we missed Coming of Age Day, but who cares about both of those?

[...Though, there's also that thing with Richard and Isamu. Nope, don't care.]

Whatever. Haruhi Suzumya, over and out.

[And if you want action, she is at the Brigade's HQ. Sort of wanting and sort of not wanting people to step in]

Comments

[lostinmyway]

No, my memory is just fine.

[What a funny thing for Haruhi to think.]

[godbent]

[....Riiiight. Right.

So she'll just shake her head and go back to browsing. She finds the one that she used for Yuzu, which could work, but it would probably be too short, and maybe a little too tight too. Hm. She sets it on the chair as she keeps looking]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's pretty.

[It is, but she would probably say that about anything.]

[godbent]

Yeah, but it might be tight on you.

[She says this absently as she keeps flipping through her options]

[lostinmyway]

That's too bad.

[Despite her words, she doesn't sound overly upset. Then again, when does she ever?]

[godbent]

Yeah, it really is a bummer, all things considered. [Flip... no, this would fit but it's not maid-y]

[lostinmyway]

[Aaaaaaand it's about at this point that Grune starts spacing out. She's just going to stand here for a moment and stare off into space, okay? Okay.]

[godbent]

[And fifteen minutes later, she doesn't have anything too much better than this small one. She really needs to look into that-- oh well, this'll fit Grune, it'll just be sort of tight and probably show a little too much skin. Oh well, he walks on over to her and hands it over to try to snap her out of it]

[lostinmyway]

[Oh, are you holding something out, Haruhi? Because we certainly aren't noticing.]

[godbent]

Grune.

[ :T ]

[lostinmyway]

[Have a foggy look.]

Yes?

[godbent]

Put this on.

[Shoving it into her again]

[lostinmyway]

Okay, Haruhi.

[She transfers the clothing to one hand and...GRUNE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET CHANGED.]

[godbent]

[Hey it's in a closet, not like she cares if Grune changes right there. Instead, she just goes on out in to the Brigade's meeting room]

[lostinmyway]

[Yes, but Grune wasn't going to wait for her to leave....

Anyway, she gets all dressed up and looking pretty for Haruhi. The costume is a little tight, but she certainly doesn't mind--she's Grune, after all.

When she's finished, she emerges from the closet with a smile.] There. All done.

[godbent]

[And in spite of herself and her mood before now, seeing Grune in the costume just makes her smile. It's not like she can really ask the woman to make tea or anything, so she'll just appreciate the dress up] Good work.

[lostinmyway]

[That reaction, of course, just fills Grune with delight and her smile pretty much triples in size.]

Thank you, Haruhi! I'm glad I could help!
