godbent | 43rd: The Practice of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice // Filtered to the SOS-Brigade]
Alright, I'm back! We'll be moving on to new and better things soon, because I've decided on how we're going to ring out spring! Details in the next meeting, so be sure all of you are at it, even if meetings have been a little lax lately. Failure to be there will be met with punishment!

Oh-! Right! All of you met our new members [Diamond, Pearl, Twilight, Usagi] by now, right? If you somehow didn't, get on that! After all, I'm going to promote one of my Brigade members to Deputy-Vice-Chief sometime soon, and there's no way you'll be in the running unless you're on the ball.

Over and out.

[And with that out of the way, Haruhi Suzumiya is back in the village proper. It's only been a little more than a week since she started her "camp all over the place to try to hook up with more filial spirits" plan, but she's already started to hear more than she did before. Sona was still blocking her, but now she thinks she's been hearing more from Tsinku and Kipinn (finally) is something she's been starting to work with magically. So now she's back in town and decides--

You know what, it's warmer out after that cold snap and it's not raining. So she's going to just spend the whole day outside. She considers a Flower Viewing, but that's no good solo. Instead, she goes back to House 10 to dig through it until she finds her guitar and then goes to sit down on the edge of the fountain with it. She practiced a lot with it last year, but she hasn't in a while--

But after some messing around, it's not perfect, but she might be playing this or this as well as she can from memory, and after that she just starts to do random things which come to mind. She's surprised how well she can remember, and wonders a little why she stopped in the first place. This is sort of fun]

I still haven't really heard Hyt. Honestly, Faeren's radio silent too.

[Faeren is also afraid of her]

Complete silence. It's pretty hard to maintain around the village, especially during the daytime. At least when you do eventually hear them, you're not wondering if you just hallucinated it.

[He could be patient. Really. But meditation wasn't his kind of thing.]

Hyt's easier at night? [Or did he mean Faeren?]

[He shakes his head, glancing over to the sign on the wall as they approach the music room.] No, I'm just saying Hyt's hard to hear because it's so quiet and the only time to hear it is during daytime, when everything's making noise. Faeren's similar, but not that bad.

Hyt seems like they would be meticulous enough to to appreciate someone sitting up and watching the sunrise, but then I don't know a lot.

Maybe. I haven't tried that one. [Because waking up to watch the sunrise... Yeah, that's not exactly something he does much of.] The others are comparatively easier, even if Sona's cold and Kipinn can be a little annoying.

I thought Kipinn was cute.

[Shows what you know, Leon. God. Anyway, open the music room for her so we can tune this]

He's hyperactive. [There's something of a whine to his voice as he holds the door open for Haruhi. Is that what Haruhi considered cute?]

But it's hard not to think of him as being some ten year old or something.

[So he's cute in that respect.

I guess. But not a lot of people like learning from ten year olds.

[...He should know.]

Yeah, but he doesn't lord over you or anything. [She waves a hand dismissively. She imagines it's a little like Yoda or something]

True. That's all Sona.

[The music room still has its grand piano, which is where Leon heads over to. He opens up the cover of the keys, brushing his fingers over the long keys while glancing at Haruhi.]

Shouldn't be too difficult to tune that one string.

You want the guitar?

[To handle it solo?! Or should they do the group thing. That is the question]

[He waves his hands out in the negative, grinning at Haruhi.]

You're the one playing the guitar here. I just play the violin. ["Just."]

Alright, if you say so. [And with that, the strumming on the string begins. Strum...]
