49th: The Inquisition of Haruhi Suzumiya
[Action]
[ She went from emo but focused, to focusedly unfocused, to... now. Today is Winry's birthday and when she wakes up in the morning she has resolved to go and visit her this afternoon. But she's been trying to deal with her increasing spotty and overfocus'd desire to know all the things for the past few weeks. The Shard has been getting the better of her for... well okay mostly for worse. So from about 6AM (when she sets out for her morning run all over town) to 2PM Haruhi can be found doing one of three things around the square in a thick coat:
a) Cleaning up and taking out some excessive stuff in the Brigades HQ. There might only be four of them right now, but she's going to get more as soon as she gets over whatever this Shift is. So she has resolved to do this. She is doing this while having a small fireball orbit her head to remind her not to read all the things. So there's that . . .
b) Talking to anyone she sees. First to ask them questions about their lives, their hair, the world, their... everything. Just pestering, annoying questions as she's trying to get it out of her system. She might look annoyed at herself as she's asking them. Also, she'll be working to give out fliers about the SOS-Brigade to sort of spread it... she needs to revise this flier though. If only she could use more words.
c) Shopping. Namely, she is looking for fresh ingredients in the Grocery to make ready for some plans of hers and to re-stock her own house (it's been a while, hasn't it...?), to All Passions to make a request for a new custom jacket, and then to the original and normal Clothing Store to look for some costumes she could use on Shinji and/or Grune when she gets back in business. Also the Item Shop to look for any sort of magical whatevers she can find...
And later in the day she'll be making her way to Winry's and either way, sometime in the night, she'll end up at Good Spirits for some light drinks and to attempt to be social without dissolving into the question monster. ... But she might anyway ]

[Rue kicks at a rock at the ground.]
It's not fair.
B
[ She can feel herself being lost as the curiosity rushes over her. It's sort of disturbing, actually, but she also knows she can pull back from it if she needs to. Probably ]
B
[Rue bites into her apple, though her appetite is gone.]
What's it like where you're from?
B
The capitol's over in Tokyo and the diet meets there to make decisions to change the country. They have to be careful not to piss everyone off too much though or people won't vote them in next term.
B
You vote for your leader?
B
So you don't vote?
You have one leader? Are the Capitol?
B
President Snow is the leader of Panem. He lives in the Capitol.
B
Is is cold in Capitol?
Why is the Capitol just called that?
It doesn't have it's own name?
B
Can we talk about something else?
B
What's your name?
How long have you been here?
Why is that your name?
B
I'm Rue. I've been here for a few days now. My parents named me Rue after the flower.
What about you? How long have you been here and why is your name Haruhi?

B
Isn't it usually a bad thing?
Or do you think it's not?
[ As she asks this, she advances on Rue, leaning in curiously as if to watch the facial expressions ]
B
Do you always ask a lot of questions?
B
[ She said in a more even, even slightly annoyed tone ]
