49th: The Inquisition of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[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 ]

[soheartless]

I've washed it. I don't believe that I've done any of those other things...

[He pauses slightly.]

Feathers...

[godbent]

You haven't?

[ Weird. It feels well kept... which is surprising.

She gets in closer to put one arm around him and the other pets him ]

[soheartless]

I don't know. [He frowns. He does have the feeling of affection at least, so he leans into the hold.]

I don't remember.

[godbent]

[ Wow way to make it more pedo... ]

You don't remember what you did this morning? That's strange.

[soheartless]

[He's just being comfortable! And glancing around uncertainly.]

Is it? I didn't know that it was strange.

[godbent]

Of course it's strange! Why don't you remember?

[soheartless]

I might not have been thinking about anything at the time.

[godbent]

How could you do that?

Why would you do that?

[soheartless]

I don't know. I believe that's the way that I've always done things.

Sometimes... Rue helps. Or... Fakir has.

[godbent]

Someone else washes your hair for you?

[soheartless]

Not always.

It's only sometimes.

[godbent]

So when do you wash it yourself?

[soheartless]

Sometimes.

[Isn't he just the best at answering questions.]

[godbent]

[ ... Sniffing his hair. It didn't feel greasy but does it smell rank? She's curious! ]

[soheartless]

[Well, he doesn't particularly mind at least. And no, it shouldn't smell. It does seem to have been washed recently.]

[godbent]

[ Seems legit........

She rubs her face in it ]

Strange though. That it's so well kept...

[soheartless]

[Well. That's a thing, that's happening. And Mytho just continues to go along vacantly as if it's a normal thing.]

Is it strange? I've never thought of it that way. My hair... It hasn't given me problems.

[godbent]

Is there anything that does give you problems?

[soheartless]

My heart.

[godbent]

Why does you heart give you problems?

[soheartless]

Because it was shattered.

My feelings... They have to be regained.

There's also... the raven's blood.

[godbent]

Oh... what's the raven's blood?

Why are you feelings all over?

[ And now she shifts to put her ear up to his chest (not pedo) and listen for his pulse ]

[soheartless]

[With that distinction, Mytho just idly glances down as he does that. He should still have a pulse and the signs of physically having a heart.]

The raven's blood... [There's actual fear in his voice at that.] It is like a poison. To be a servant of the Raven...

[He pauses, gathers himself to answer the other question.]

And, my feelings were scattered... with the pieces of my heart.

[godbent]

You could give more details! The Raven thing sounds strange and interesting!

[ Oh, it's normal! She pulls back her head, and then taps on his chest several times with her knuckles ]

[soheartless]

Details? [He glances up a bit, uncertainly, bobbing slightly with each tap at his chest.] The Raven is strange... but I don't think that he's interesting at all.

He's frightening. And he seeks... to consume all love for himself.
